Pea and Ham Soup (slow cooker or stove)
Recipe video above. This is a fabulous "throw it all in the slow cooker" soup. There's no need to cook the onion separately - it "sautés" itself in the fat from the ham that rises to the surface. Thick, hearty soup broth infused with incredible flavour from the ham! Use leftover ham bone, or purchase a ham hock.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Place peas in slow cooker, push ham in. Scatter all ingredients around the ham bone, then pour over water.
2
Slow cook 8 to ⏱️ 10 hours on LOW or ⏱️ 6 hours on HIGH. (Or 2.⏱️ 5 hours on low on stove, 1 h - ⏱️ 1 hr ⏱️ 20 min pressure cooker/Instant Pot on HIGH)
3
Remove ham bone, shred ham meat. Discard bone and fatty skin.
4
Remove bay leaves. Use a stick blender to blitz 2 or 3 times - thickens soup but doesn't make it completely smooth (my preference, you can blend completely if you want).
bay leaves (, dried or fresh)2(2 litres/qts) water8 cups
5
Return ham into slow cooker, stir. Taste and add more salt if needed (soup gets lots of salt from ham).
6
Serve garnished with parsley. Serve with crusty bread for dunking - make a quick Irish Soda Bread, Garlic Bread or upgrade to Cheesy Garlic Bread!
