I urge you to try this slow cooker, crockpot recipe. If you like your pea and ham soup, this recipe is for you. It tastes even better when it is cold outside, that's a promise ;) I made this in between getting the kids up and doing the animals early one morning. I was so pleased it took next to no time to put together!.
Ingredients
- Small smoked gammon joint.
- 2 peeled potatoes, cubed.
- 2 large white onions, chopped.
- 3 cloves garlic, minced.
- 1kg frozen garden peas.
- Water
Instructions
Put the garlic, onions, peas, raw potato and gammon in to the Slow Cooker. Put the potatoes and gammon in first, unlike me as you can see below! Don't forget to remove the protective layer off the gammon, saves you doing it at the end and burning yourself.
Pour in enough water to cover the gammon 1/2 way - more if you like thinner, less if you prefer a thicker soup.
Cook on high setting for 4 hours or low for 8.
Remove the gammon and trim off any fat before shredding with two forks.
Blitz the soup into the consistency you prefer and put the shredded gammon back in, combine.
Season to taste serve in a soup bowl with a little of the shredded gammon to garnish.
To make a less healthier version, add cream at blending and a little cream to drizzle before adding the gammon garnish but the truth be told, I really don't think it needs it.
This recipe freezes well, I use plastic containers and label them with a marker. They stack well in the freezer.
