Pea & Ham Soup

Along with the Leek etc soup - C also requested pea & ham soup. Cooked last night.

Today - a little average - performance review with ceo / reviewing casual staff / and co-ordinating weekend project. At least there wasn't much cooking today (re-heating not really counting as cooking) - or cleaning up for that matter. Dishwashers - gift from the gods.

In hindsight - I probably should have cooked it longer .. and it wasn't quite as flavourful as previous versions.

500g bacon bones (ribs)
3 x carrots - diced
1 x onion - finely diced
3-4 garlic cloves - finely chopped
small number of peppercorns
500g split green peas
3 x rashes bacon - finely diced
pinch salt
water to cover

bring to boil - skim - then reduce to simmer

Simmer for at least 1 - 2 hours - stirring often.
