Directions
- Place the peas and water in a large heavy-based saucepan, bring to the boil and skim. Add in the carrot, onion, leek, ham or possibly pork bone, half the diced ham or possibly pork, bay leaves and seasoning.
- Cover and bring to the boil and simmer for 35-40 min or possibly till the peas are tender.
- Remove the bone and bay leaves. Place the soup in a food processor and process till almost smooth. Return to a clean saucepan, heat gently and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Heat the oil in frying pan till warm, add in the polenta, remaining diced ham and sage and fry for 1-2 min or possibly till golden.
- Divide soup between 4 large bowls, garnish with the polenta, sage and ham and serve with hot wholemeal bread.
- NOTES : The stock for this soup is made with a ham or possibly pork bone. The inclusion of the bone gives the soup a flavour that can't be matched by stock cubes or possibly granules. The bones are available from our delicatessen counter and, subject to availability, you can choose from Leicester Ham, Oven Roast Pork or possibly Oven Roast Ham. Each bone comes with sufficient residue of meat to cut off and use in the soup or possibly in quiches, omelettes, risottos or possibly stir fries.
