3.Simmer: Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 60 minutes, or until peas are tender and the soup has thickened.

5.Blend (optional): For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender or transfer the soup to a blender and blend until desired consistency.

For a richer flavour, use a ham bone instead of diced ham.
Add a bay leaf to the soup while simmering for extra depth of flavour.
If the soup is too thick, add additional stock.
