Background

When you have leftover pulled or roast ham, besides sandwiches and wraps, you can make wonderful meals with it ( such pies, stews, soups, puff tarts, frittata etc). I particularly like this Mexican-style spiced pea and ham soup (similar to The London particular), as the soup itself is vegan (so it can be served to those who don’t eat meat) and the ham is added at the end. The soup is incredibly easy to make, perfect on Boxing day, on Easter Monday or at parties. Serve with flat bread or tortilla chips.

Ingredients

1 red onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 medium carrot
1 green chilli
1 Tbsp. tomato purée
1 tsp of Chipotle paste
1 tsp cumin powder
½ tsp paprika
750 ml chicken or vegetable stock
500g green peas (defrosted, if frozen)
1 large handful of coriander leaves
1 lime
2 cups shredded/pulled ham

Instructions

Finely chop the onion, garlic, chilli and carrot.
Heat one Tbsp of oil in a saucepan, then add the chopped vegetables.
Gently sauté for 5 minutes, until soft, then add the tomato purée, chipotle paste and the spices and stir for a few seconds, until well coated.
Add the stock and bring to the boil. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the peas and cook for another 5 minute. Turn off the heat add the coriander leaves and lime juice.
Spoon the hot soup into bowls and top with a couple of spoonful of shredded ham.
Serve immediately.
