Pea and Ham Soup

[matt]

Soak a bag of split peas in water overnight, change water a couple of times.

 

Soak a ham shank for an hour, change water a couple of times (unless you like salty).

 

Put peas, shank, chopped carrots in to a pan of water, simmer for a couple of hours. Take shank out, strip meat off bone and put meat back in to soup.

 

Best with hot buttered fresh rolls.

 

Improves after being left to stand for a day.

When we were kids, "Ham & Pea" soup was always known as "Happy" soup. Kinda rymes

Then there's the old joke, what's the difference between roast beef and pea soup? Answer, anyone can roast beef but not many people can ....

I adooooore pea and ham soup!

 

Alas Kev hates peas to the point of being almost phobic , so I don't get much pea and ham action these days.

Better still, omit the animal parts and make vegan split pea soup.

But only if you like consuming tasteless, gloopy sludge.
