Pea and Ham Soup
Matt SinclairIngredients:
Serves: 8
- 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 large brown onions, finely chopped
- 3 large carrots, finely diced
- 1 litre salt reduced chicken stock
- 2.5 cups split green peas (soak the night before to reduce cooking time)
- 1 smoked ham hock
- Salt and pepper
- 150g Greek feta
- ½ bunch dill, roughly chopped
Method:
- Heat the oil in a large pot over a medium heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook, stirring often until onions are translucent, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Deglaze with the chicken stock, add in the split peas and ham hock and mix to combine. Add enough water to just cover the ingredients, increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a light boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for approximately 2.5-3 hours, until sauce has thickened, and hock meat pulls away from the bone.
- Carefully remove the bone and flake the hock meat into the soup. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve with some crumbled feta on top and garnish with chopped dill.
