  Really good. I blended the soup before I added the ham for nice chunks!

  This soup is absolutely delicious. Great colour and texture and very easy to make. I used pancetta instead of bacon and petit pois instead of peas because they were both in the freezer. I sprinkled some finely chopped ham on the top which looked nice. It was just as good on day 2 so you can make it in advance.

  Nice taste, but definitely needs more stock far too thick for my liking.

  I really liked the soup - it was really easy, quick and made a tasty lunch for me and my pops from stuff in the freezer/cupboard. He loved it too, so all good as he is a tough guest to please. Plus I used chunks of roast ham which was leftover from the sunday roast, which was delicious. But the pea and potato idea worked a treat. Yes it was a bit thick, but I just watered it down a bit with some stock. Recommend for a quick easy soup. Yum. Oh I added a bit of fresh mint - which was lovely - just about 4-5 leaves from the garden, which made it a bit lighter, summery and lunchy. Thanks!

  Mmmm delicious! I can't really comment on the consistency, as I don't tend to weigh or measure things, just chuck 'em in. I used baby new potatoes (skins on, cut into quarters) and fresh thyme. Then, after blending, I stirred in crispy fried diced pancetta. Yummy!

  i made this and it was amazing the flavour and colour were great. Smoked bacon is best to use it gives it a really good flavour, thanks for putting it up any more good recipies??

  Wonderful recipe - a real winner ... we use smoked beef sausage instead of bacon as my husband doesn't eat pork.

  Lovely, quick and easy soup. Warming on a cold day. Kids loved it asking when I'm making it again! I used a ham stock cube instead of chicken to give a deeper flavour.
