AMANDA’S PEA AND HAM SOUP
Real McCoy, UK pea and ham soup. Just a starter but good enough for a main. Thanks pommie Amanda.
300 g Eisbein
1 Big peeled carrot, cut in half
2 Medium sized peeled onions, roughly chopped
Put all above in medium sized pot. Cover with water and cook until meat is cooked and falling of the bone. Add water if needed to keep stock level above half.
Remove meat out of stock. Pull into small bite size pieces. Keep aside.
Add 250 – 300 gram peas to stock and cook until tender.
Using stick blender, blend pea stock until smooth.
Add ham pieces ( keeping a small amount for garnish ).
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Note: to have a more richer taste, you can add 100-200ml of cream to soup
ENJOY!!
