Pea and Ham Soup

Super easy and super yummy.

2 glugs of olive oil
1 onion - chopped
75 - 100g bacon rashers - chopped
1 1/2 cups of dried split peas
2 cups of water
2 cups of stock (I made mine with vegetable stock cubes)

Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed pot. Fry the onion and bacon rashers in the oil until onion is starting to go golden. (Leave the fat on the bacon - your soup will be tastier). Add split peas, water and stock and bring to a simmer. Simmer for an hour with the lid on, stirring occasionally - especially towards the end or your soup will stick to the bottom of the pot. Serve with bread and butter. Yum.
