Pea and Ham Soup
If your favourite part of Pea and Ham Soup is the ham, this soup is for you. It's heavy on the ham, and we love it like that! It fills the whole bowl of the thermo mixer with soup, and can be adjusted for newer and older thermo mixer models. If you are using a newer model with increased capacity you may wish to add a bit more stock. Having said that, you can always start with less stock and add more to taste toward the end. Remember that the ham will add salt, so you may like to adjust according to your taste.
