PREPARATION TIME: 5 MINUTES, PLUS OVERNIGHT SOAKING

COOKING TIME: 2–3 HOURS

SERVES 4

This easy soup is very warming and tasty – perfect for a cold day or if you’re in need of some real comfort food.

2 tbsp olive oil

2 leeks, white part only, diced

2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped

500g (1lb 2oz) green split peas, soaked overnight and drained

2 litres (3½ pints) chicken or vegetable stock

2 tbsp roughly chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

50g (2oz) ham, finely shredded

Pour the olive oil into the slow cooker dish, then mix in the leeks, garlic, drained split peas and stock.

Cover with the lid and cook on high for 1 hour. Remove the lid and skim off and discard any froth from the surface with a slotted spoon. Mix the soup well, then cover again and cook for a further 1–2 hours or until the peas are tender.

Ladle the soup into serving bowls and top with the parsley and shredded ham. Serve with hot buttered toast.
