Ingredients

Scale

Soup Ingredients

  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 150g finely chopped cooked ham
  • 500ml gluten free vegetable stock
  • 300g frozen peas

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic and fry for 5-6 minutes until the onion starts to soften and become translucent.
  2. Add the Ham and Peas: Stir in half of the chopped cooked ham, frying for an additional 2-3 minutes to release flavor. Then add the frozen peas and mix well to combine.
  3. Simmer the Soup: Pour in the gluten free vegetable stock to cover the ingredients. Put a lid on the pan, bring the soup to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer gently for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  4. Blend Smooth: Remove the pan from heat. Transfer the soup carefully to a blender or use a stick blender in the pan. Blend until smooth, taking care not to overfill the blender to avoid burns.
  5. Finish and Serve: Pour the blended soup back into the pan and stir in the remaining chopped ham. Warm through and serve the soup hot alongside gluten-free bread for dipping.

Notes

  • You can substitute vegetable stock with chicken stock if not strictly vegetarian.
  • For a chunkier texture, blend only half the soup and leave the rest with peas and ham pieces.
  • If using a stick blender, blend directly in the saucepan to reduce cleanup.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste before serving.
  • This soup freezes well—cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers.
