I cannot imagine a more autumnal recipe than Homemade Pea and Ham Soup. Wonderfully warming and such a treat at lunchtime during those dark October and November days.
Anyway back to the soup – I’ve been looking for a good standard recipe for Pea & Ham Soup for a while. I’m also using up those blasted red lentils that have appeared in so many of my recipes over the past few months. I used these instead of Split Peas and they worked very well. I changed the recipe slightly to thicken it up by adding 10 Charlotte potatoes and blending them all together at the end. I must also admit to omitting the garlic – I’m just not a fan in some dishes. I thought the use of carrots in this soup was a great idea – I grated them and then blitzed them at the end too.
We had some single cream to use up (Millie thought she would buy a huge pot just for her apple pie last night) so did a bit of a designer drizzle.

I love soup weather and am excited to try a veggie version of this! It looks so smooth and silky!
Its definitely soup weather this looks delish!
Perfectly, perfectly delicious! Thanks so much for sharing with the Tea Time Treats linky party, so feel free to come and see what everyone else shared too 🙂
