Another soup from me yep i do love my soups especially in the winter and especially when they are easy to make as this one! This i guess is an old fashion way of making pea and ham soup using Chana Dal which is split yellow peas as you will see i added carrots and onions which add some veggies to the soup but they really do work well and no one will ever guess they are in there trust me this soup has past my Dads test

Top Tips – If you have not made pea and ham soup this way i would suggest you make it whilst you are at home the Chana Dal will absorb the water and you may need to add more depending on how hot your slow cooker works. You also need to ensure the Dal is cooked you want it soft and to be able to squash between your fingers.

As your taste buds are all different what i would suggest with this recipe is you watch the saltiness of the soup i added a ham stock cube to give the added “ham flavour” because in theory this soup should be made from bacon bones this is how my mum made it when we were little. Now i don’t add salt to my food once its served – it drives Graeme mad lol and i do not like over salty foods, so i would suggest if you are going to use a smoked gammon you use a vegetable stock pot as the last thing i would want is you making this and it too salty.
