Perfect Pea and Ham Soup

This soup is a must for winter.

This is a relatively simple and traditional soup, with great flavours and great for the winter season to warm you up.

So easy to make, but so great to eat.

This soup is easy to make and I make it every winter, but it takes all day to cook, though in the end it’s worth it!

DIRECTIONS

Soak the soup (lentil) mix for around 12 hours I do mine overnight or per packet instructions. Strain the soup (lentil) mix, then rinse and drain.

Add your soup (lentil) mix in a big pot. Add the ham hock and ham chunks. Add the water and stock and bring it to the boil.

Once it's to a boil turn on low heat, cook it for 10-12 hours. Cook it about 2/3 down, you can take the skin out but it breaks up and I choose to keep it in as its full of flavour. Once cooked, add some in a bowl. You can freeze some for later and it's also great for the next day. Enjoy!
