Pea and Ham Soup

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Place peas in slow cooker, push ham in. Scatter all ingredients around the ham bone, then pour over water.
  2. Slow cook 8 to 10 hours on LOW or 6 hours on HIGH. (Or 2.5 hours on low on stove, 1 h – 1 hr 20 min pressure cooker/Instant Pot on HIGH)
  3. Remove ham bone, shred ham meat. Discard bone and fatty skin.
  4. Remove bay leaves. Use a stick blender to blitz 2 or 3 times – thickens soup but doesn’t make it completely smooth
  5. Return ham into slow cooker, stir. Taste and add more salt if needed (soup gets lots of salt from ham)
