Pea & ham soup
1 cup dried green split peas
spray canola or olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely chopped
4 stalks celery, finely chopped
1½ litres (6 cups) MAGGI Chicken or Vegetable Stock
150 g lean sliced ham, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Put the peas into a large bowl and cover generously with cold water. Stand for at least 6 hours or overnight, then drain well. Spray a large pan with oil and heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes or until soft. Add the peas and stock, and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, for 30 minutes, or until the peas are very soft. Skim any froth while cooking. Stir in the ham and parsley, and heat through. Season to taste and serve.
