Tis the season for souping.
I'm planning on making a different one each week.
Todays - Pea and Ham.
I bought a massive smoked ham hock in Budapest on the weekend.
Cover with water and boil for an hour (+ cloves, pepper corns and bayleaves).
Stick a lid on it and let it cool overnight.
Next day, scrap off all the fat thats congealed on top (bin it).
Take meat out, chop off bone into soup sized pieces and set aside.
Get 500g of split peas (I used yellow ones as I couldn't find green ones). Soak in cold water for an hour or so, rinse, then chuck into the water the ham was cooked in and boil for about 1.5hours til they fall apart.
In a frying pan, add onion, garlic, leek - sautee.
Chuck into pan with peas (I removed a bowl full cause I didn't want my soup too smooth).
Blend.
Chuck ham and reserved peas back in. Heat. Eat.
Awesome!
