Ingredients
1 x finely chopped small brown onion
3 – 4 medium sized potatoes, peeled, diced
1 1/2 cup green split peas, washed, rinsed (rinse until the water is clear)
3 - 4 cups salt-reduced chicken stock
½ litre of cold water (depends on how thick you want the soup to be)
Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, cracked pepper and crusty bread, to serve
Directions
11. Add olive oil, onion, garlic, celery, leek, potatoes, ham hock, peas, stock, bay leaf and 1 liter cold water. Cover with lid.
22. Cook on low for 6 hours.
33. Remove hock from soup. Discard the bone.
44. Shred ham. Return ham & rind (I think that this adds extra flavour) to soup. Cook on low for 1 hour or until ham and peas are tender.
55. Remove and discard of rind.
66. Use a stick blender to blend together, but try and leave some chunky bits of potato and ham
77. Serve with parsley, cracked pepper and crusty bread.
88. ENJOY!!

being my first pea and ham soup it was really nice, a great recipe, i also added about 1/4 cup cream at the end to make it that little bit more creamy, will def cook again!
