Ham and Pea Soup.
This is a happy and delicious byproduct of a glazed ham. The ham poaching liquid is so well spiced, full of flavour and I never throw it away. I normally divide the liquid into 500ml portions and stash them away in the freezer.
This is one of my quickest and easiest recipes and I can assure you it's delicious, the sweetness of the peas contrasts so well against the saltiness of the ham stock.
Serves 2.
In a large saucepan, put in
-1 litre ham stock, with
-500g frozen peas.
Bring up to the boil.
Turn the heat off.
Use a hand blender to blitz the peas. (I like chunky soups so I left some peas whole).
Put the soup back on the heat, add
-100g chopped ham,
-1tbsp chopped chives,
-plenty of black pepper.
Cook, stirring, for around 30 seconds.
Serve.
