Pea & Ham Soup Recipe

Pea & Ham Soup Gluten Free 2 Pea & Ham Soup Gluten Free Pea & Ham Soup Gluten Free 5

Hearty, thick, creamy and the most beautiful vibrant shade of green you have ever seen. This Pea and Ham Soup is the perfect winter warmer and the natural brightness of those gorgeous green peas just makes you feel like there’s a whole lot of goodness in that bowl.

I prepare my soup with frozen peas for two reasons. Firstly, it’s a much faster method than soaking split peas (who doesn’t love a quick easy recipe crammed with big flavours?). Secondly, I just love the vibrancy of the frozen green peas. You can even get away with calling it “Shrek” soup to the kiddies (this is where my marketing background comes in very handy).

Any leftover ham is great for crusty baguettes the next day so nothing goes to waste with this gluten free recipe. Too easy peasy!!
