Pea and Ham Soup

This fabulous Pea and Ham Soup is a delicious winter warmer soup, either as a small bowl as starter or a larger bowl served with this lovely brown or white bread. With most of my soups I serve this lovely home baked bread as side dish. It is such a lovely choice, if you don't feel like a big serving, simply eat less slices of bread and indulge in more soup or visa versa! This healthy Pea and Ham Soup, is great in another way by being a soup which easily makes your tummy full! Especially in the cold, winter days when it feels like you are hungry all the time, this soup will easily keep the tummy full for a long time. So no nibbling is required in between. I can strongly recommend the Pea and Ham Soup to make this winter, you will definitely not be sorry that you have missed out!
