Pea and Ham Soup
I have been saving the ham bones from Christmas, waiting ever so patiently for the weather to start to chill so I could make this one that brings back memories of Autumn growing up - and of my poor mum cleaning pea and ham soup off the ceiling after her pressure cooker "released" it all out the top!!! It took me up until last year to finally get a pressure cooker after watching my mum do that so many times. I now understand why she persisted and am very relieved with how the technology has improved and happy to report that I have not had to clean any soups off any ceilings since using it! :-)
Ingredients
Water, Ham hock, Onion, Celery, Carrots, Parsley, Garlic, Salt, Black pepper, Split peas, Dried bay leaves.
Preparation and storage notes
Remove lid before heating. If frozen, cook for 5 mins on high in microwave, if thawed cook for 2 minutes. Heat for an additional 30 seconds at a time as needed until cooked to your preferred temperature for eating. Loosen with water if it seems a little thick.
