Pea & ham soup

This is magnificent! Also blended half the ham along with the peas - I had it just as for the first bowl and added a spot of mint sauce to the second - I couldn't choose which was best!

I made this today for my husband. I followed what some of the other commentators said and put a load of the ham in before blending then added the rest as a topping. I put a bunch of parsley in as well. I also sessoned it generously. Husband loved it. It does serve four, and as I don't eat meat, I've frozen the remaining three portions so he can take to work for lunch. This one is a winner.

Great recipie . I love pea and ham soup and this was so easy to make!!

Simple, tasty and quick recipe. I had originally slow cooked the ham in a honey and mustard glaze and used the cooking juices in the soup - absolutely delicious and will definitely be made again! Would give it 5 stars but for some reason the rating won't work on iPad :(

Freezes well.

Made this with the stock from cooking Tom Kerridge's very aromatic candied roast ham with star anise so had some lovely additional depth of flavour.

Easy and delicious. I also put most of the ham in pre-blend and then shred the remaining ham and garnished on top of the soup.

Just made with knorr ham stock cubes and left over New Year Ham. Nice but needs more potato and a sprinkle of parsley or mint to lift it a little. Will definitely make again with the tweaks!

Made this today. Delicious and so simple to make. I did add some garlic (2 cloves) with the onion and a big handful of fresh parsley just before blending. I also added half of the ham pre-blend and followed with chunky pieces on serving with a garnish of parsley. And a good few twists of black pepper. Didn't have ham stock so used half veg stock and half leftover Christmas turkey stock. Very yummy.

Loved this soup! Nicest recipe for pea & ham soup. Only added black pepper - although I did use unsmoked ham stock.

Thought this soup was tasty but a bit too rich & thick for my liking. Good flavours though, and very filling!

Very easy and extremely tasty! Will be making again for sure

Made this soup with the stock that I boiled the ham in, enjoyed it so much, I bought another Ham joint. Am now making my second lot. Soooo simple to make and scrummy.

Very tasty, quick and easy to make. I used knor 'ham' stock cubes, added an extra potato, 6-7 fresh mint leaves, and some of the ham to the soup before blending. It was one of the nicest soups i've ever eaten.

Really easy to make and ingredients are very cheap! I added a tub of quark to make it creamy, this also helped to thicken it up.

I used ham hock. A great autumn soup!

Delicious and so quick. Added more potato to make it thicker. Also some garlic, pepper and parsley. Great way to use up cooked gammon from dinner last night.

quick easy bit of mint sauce mmmmm lovely

I added garlic and parsley for extra flavour and my little girl ate it with a cream cracker crushed into it. Very nice though needs something extra to thicken it.

i found if you add a good handful of chopped fresh mint and plenty of seasoning it gives an extra boost to a lovely warming soup. goes down a treat with my 2 boys.

I've it. Used the ham juice as stock! Tasty easy and the family loved it.
