BEST EVER slow cooker pea and ham soup
This is one of my favourite slow cooker soup recipes - comforting split peas and vegetables with tender pieces of ham. It's a winner every single time. And best of all, it's really easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 large carrot peeled and chopped
- 2 celery sticks chopped
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon mixed herbs
- 2 bay leaves
- 500 g yellow split peas rinsed under water
- 1-1.5 kg gammon joint or ham hock
- 1 litre chicken stock
Instructions
- Throw all the ingredients into the slow cooker, and cook on low for 8 hours.
- Take out the ham, it will be really tender and falling apart.
- Remove the bay leaves.
- Then use a stick blender to blitz the soup until it’s smooth. Or pour the soup into a blender or food processor.
- Shred the ham, then add back into the soup. Serve the soup with large chunks of fresh bread, a dollop of Dijon mustard and some fresh parsley. Enjoy!
