Equipment

Ingredients

  • knob of butter
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 1 medium potato peeled and diced
  • 1 l (4 ¼ cups) ham stock (made with 2 stock cubes – I use Knorr)
  • 500 g (17.6 oz) frozen petit pois
  • 300 g (10.6 oz) thickly sliced ham trimmed of any fat and diced
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat a knob of butter in a saucepan and when lightly foaming gently cook the chopped onion for 5 minutes, until softened, but not coloured.
  • Tip in the diced potato and stir to coat in the butter, then pour over the stock. Simmer for 7 to 10 minutes until the potatoes have softened.
  • Add in the frozen petit pois and bring it back to the boil. Cook for a couple of minutes. Season to taste.
  • Remove from the heat and blend until smooth. Stir in the diced ham and serve.

Notes

  • This pea and ham soup recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
