Pea and Ham Soup (by G)

When life sends you a leg of ham and an aversion to leave the house to buy provisions, make pea and ham soup - that's what I always say.

The soup wasn't very pea-ey - there was only half a bag of frozen peas in the freezer. The bulk of the soup is made up of carrot, celery and onion - simmered with the ham bone for about an hour then blended chunky smooth.

I took the ham bone out prior to blending and stripped it of leftover meat. There was surprisingly little ham left - apparently I've been hitting it pretty hard the last few days.

The soup was okay - I think I may have over simmered the ham in the end, it was  a bit bland.
