Pea & Ham Soup

I'm not in the business of pimping chef's recipes and certainly not the all too often deeply disappointing super-market range that every Tom, Dick and Harry who have ever stood behind a range love to churn out.


However... I've made a version of this and its extremely good and, of course, you actually have to make it rather than pour it out of a carton.

Let's be honest. Heston Blumenthal is one of the best chef's and nicest blokes in a kitchen today. And he makes great stuff. If you want to try the original recipe, the one that I can vouch for, which calls for making a ham hock stock then it can be found here.

Give it a go. It is very good and makes the entire house spell of simmering Pork which can only ever be a good thing.
