Place the peas in a pot, cover with cold water and leave to soak overnight.

Drain the peas and place them into a large pot. Add onion, carrot, celery, bay leaf and One For All Rub. Combine the boiling water and Vegetable Stock and add to the pot. Stir well to combine everything and then add the ham hock. Bring to a boil, skimming any residue that rises to the surface. Reduce the heat to low and cover.

Simmer for 1.5-2 hours, lifting the lid occasionally to stir. Remove the ham hock and set it aside. After allowing the soup to cool slightly, blend it in batches until you are left with a smooth liquid. Return this to the pot and add the cream. Season to taste.

Remove the skin from the ham hock and shred the meat into bite-size pieces. Add the desired amount of ham to the soup and stir through. Serve with savoury herb scones.

Tip: We used the NOMU Scone & Cobbler Baking Kit to create wonderful dippers for your soup. Simply whip up a batch of scones, adding a handful of roughly chopped parsley leaves and a grinding of  NOMU One For All Grinder to the mixture and bake as per instructions. Instead of shaping them into traditional scone shapes, form the dough in a large round. Using a sharp knife dipped into the flour, slice halfway through the dough in 6 – 8 triangular slices. Once the scones are cooked, you can simply break them into individual portions.

There is no need to blend the soup of you prefer a more rustic texture.

If you would like to freshen up the soup and brighten the colour, add 2 cups thawed frozen peas before blending.
