Pea soup with ham - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Absolutely! Omit the ham and substitute with 1 cup of diced mushrooms or smoked tofu for a similar umami depth. Use vegetable oil instead of butter to keep it fully plant-based.
Yes, rinsed canned peas work well. Reduce blending time as they're softer than boiled peas. Drain thoroughly to avoid watery soup.
Store cooled soup (without ham garnish) airtight in fridge for 3-4 days. Keep ham separately. Reheat soup gently, thinning with broth or water if needed.
Freeze the puree base (without ham/parsley) for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in fridge. Reheat on stove with splash of broth or milk to restore creaminess.
Add 2 tbsp cream cheese or Greek yogurt during blending. For dairy-free, blend in 1/4 cup soaked cashews or use coconut cream sparingly.
Try crusty bread, garlic croutons, or a crisp apple-walnut salad. For heartier meals, serve with grilled cheese sandwiches or sausage rolls.
Reduce peas by half and add cauliflower florets when blending. Increase ham portion for protein. Garnish with pumpkin seeds instead of croutons.
Stir in broth, milk, or water 1 tbsp at a time while reheating on low heat. Whisk until desired consistency. Don't over-blend reheated soup.
