A quick recipe for you guys today. It is a true classic and for those who have slow-cookers, I would recommend tossing all ingredients in them before you leave for work in the morning and let it slow-cook on low heat for 8 hours give or take few. I promise you, the hearty broth resulting from that slow meltdown and infusing of flavors will warm you to the core. I made this yesterday, when I had a ton of work to do. I forgot about it and it rewarded me by being a good soup that cooked itself to perfection. Dinner was very satisfying accompanied by crusty garlic ciabatta.

Well and truly the perfect weather for this! Thanks for the reminder.. now I'm craving soup 🙂
Thanks guys! It's amazing how many classics are all time favorites and how we never really think of them in our quest for newer more adventurous recipes !
Nice and simple and yet the ham adds so much flavour!
I love pea and ham soup looks great nice blog Rebecca
My kind of meal! Looks fantastic. Pea soup is one of my all-time faves.
I think pea soup is one of my top 5 favorite soups. SO GOOD! I've never made it in a slow cooker before though, I'm always scared of leaving something on when I'm out of the house 🙁
