This soup is lovely. Managed to get the green colour in the pic by adding the peas in at the end and threw some of the ham in before blending.

Don't believe the picture. Peas cooked for 1hr don't stay green. The soup will go a muddy colour but will still taste great. When doing again I will put the peas in 3 mins before the end of cooking.

mmmmmmmmm this is a lovely soup i advise 3 more ham cubes if you freeze, 1 cup of water on defreeze makes an excelent soup, enjoy,john mcgartland.

Excellent winter soup. Have now used this recipe twice and thoroughly recommend it. What i did different is i stripped the ham off the bone once cooked and blended it through the soup.

Very easy recipe, nice and tasty although I used Belgian cured ham in cubes instead as I didn't have the ham bone, and a nice foccacia soaked it up yum
