SPLIT PEA & GREEN PEA SMOKED HAM SOUP

John Torode shares the recipe for one of his all-time favourite soups

Provided by John Torode

Categories     Dinner, Soup

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1kg gammon or ham hock
200g split peas , soaked overnight
2 onions , roughly chopped
2 carrots , roughly chopped
2 bay leaves
1 stick celery , roughly chopped
300g frozen peas
crusty bread and butter, to serve

Steps:

  • Put the gammon in a very large pan with 2 litres water and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and drain off the water - this helps to get rid of some of the saltiness. Recover with 2 litres cold water and bring to the boil again. Put everything but the frozen peas into the pan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 1½-2½ hrs, topping up the water as and when you need to, to a similar level it started at. As the ham cooks and softens, you can halve it if you want, so it is all submerged under the liquid. When the ham is tender enough to pull into shreds, it is ready.
  • Lift out the ham, peel off and discard the skin. While it is still hot (wear a clean pair of rubber gloves), shred the meat. Remove bay from the soup and stir in the frozen peas. Simmer for 1 min, then blend until smooth. Add a splash of water if too thick, and return to the pan to heat through if it has cooled, or if you are making ahead.
  • When you are ready to serve, mix the hot soup with most of the ham - gently reheat if made ahead. Serve in bowls with the remaining ham scattered on top, and eat with crusty bread and butter.

Tips:

  • Soaking the split peas overnight or for at least 4 hours is essential to reduce cooking time and ensure the peas are tender. If you are short on time, you can use a quick-soak method by boiling the peas for 2 minutes, turning off the heat, and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and texture to the soup. Common additions include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes. You can also add other vegetables such as parsnips, turnips, or leeks.
  • Season the soup well with salt, pepper, and herbs. Common herbs used in split pea soup include thyme, rosemary, and bay leaves. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat.
  • Don't puree the entire soup. Leave some of the peas whole to add texture and substance to the soup.
  • Serve the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs, or a side of crusty bread.

Conclusion:

Eileen's Green Split Pea Soup is a hearty, flavorful, and nutritious soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like your soup thick or thin, smooth or chunky, this recipe is sure to please. So next time you are looking for a comforting and satisfying meal, give this classic soup a try. You won't be disappointed!
