I have fond memories of pea and ham soup. My mum used to make it quite often when we were kids with a big ham bone and split green peas. The only complaint I can make is that whilst the ham slid off the bone there wasn’t enough of it for my liking.

Fast forward a few years and I was faced with a rather large hunk (for the lack of a better word) of ham in the fridge. I also had a bag of frozen peas and some green lentils so I decided to make a variation on my childhood pea More >
