LONDON PARTICULAR: HAM AND PEA SOUP
This classic British soup takes its name from the dense fogs that used to cover London, known as "pea soupers" due to their yellowy/green colour. In Charles Dickens' "Bleak House", William Guppy remarks to Esther Summerson that the fog is a "London Particular", giving this soup it's rather delightful alternative name. Traditionally made with split green or yellow peas and ham stock, if you have no ham stock to hand, use chicken or vegetable stock instead with some cooked bacon in place of the ham that is usually added. This hearty soup makes a comforting main meal when served with crusty bread and butter.

Steps:
- Rinse the soaked peas until the water runs clear, I find it easier to do this in a sieve over the sink. Set the peas to one side.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan and sweat the onions until they are soft. Add the soaked and rinsed peas and the stock; bring to the boil before reducing the heat so the soup is just gently simmering. Simmer until the peas are very soft, this will take between 30-45 minutes. (Depending on how old the dried peas are - the older they are, the longer it will take for them to cook)
- Blend the soup in a blender (or with an immersion blender) until smooth - do this in batches if necessary, and add a little more stock if it's too thick. Season to taste with pepper, be careful of adding extra salt if you have used ham stock which will be salty already.
- Return the blended soup to the saucepan, add some of the ham or bacon and bring the soup back up to a gentle simmer, do not allow it to boil. Serve in warmed bowls with chopped lovage or celery leaves scattered over the top. (This adds a lovely savoury and "fresh" favour to the soup)

MRS. PATMORE'S LONDON PARTICULAR
Steps:
- 1. Rinse, then drain, soaked ham hock. Place ham hock, large onion, celery, peppercorns, bay leaf, and thyme in a large saucepan. Cover with water. Bring to a boil, then simmer, partially covered, for 2 1/2 hours or until tender. Cool.
- 2. Strain ham stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a Tupperware or glass bowl with lid. Reserve the stock, and shred ham into bite-sized pieces. If stock is too spicy, distill with some water.
- 3. Rinse soaked peas until water runs clear.
- 4. In a large saucepan or pot over medium-low heat, melt butter. Sauté the onion until it is soft and translucent. Add carrot, peas, and the stock. Bring soup to a boil, then reduce to a simmer, and skim off any fat floating at the top.
- 5. Simmer until the peas are very soft, about 45 minutes. Purée soup in small batches using an immersion or regular blender. If too thick, add more stock. Return soup to saucepan, add leftover ham, then heat through. Serve in warm bowls, perhaps with chopped celery sprinkled on top.
LONDON PARTICULAR
One of my favorite things to do on a cold winters day is to make a big bowl of hot steamy soup. London particular (or pea soup) is a favorite of mine as my mum used to make this quite a bit when I was growing up and I in turn made it for my kids. Unlike the traditional pea and ham soup my mum would replace the ham with grilled streaky bacon cooked to a crisp that gives it a better smokey flavor in my opinion.

INSTANT POT® SPLIT PEA AND HAM SOUP
Cooking split peas under pressure makes them nearly instantly creamy. This recipe is very close to a classic split pea soup, but I have the option of cooking with or without a meaty ham bone. If you just have ham, it will be just as great with the combination of celery, carrots, onions, potatoes, and split peas. Get ready for a thick and flavorful broth!

Steps:
- Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®), and select Saute function. Add butter and olive oil; heat until butter is melted. Add carrots, celery, and onion; cook until onion is nearly translucent, about 3 minutes. Add ham and cook for 1 minute.
- Add potato; cook and stir to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom of the pot, for 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add 3 cups chicken broth, split peas, and bay leaves. Turn Saute function off.
- Close and lock the lid and seal the valve. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 15 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 12 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, 2 to 3 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
- Unlock and remove the lid. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as desired. If soup is too thick, select Saute function and add remaining 1 cup chicken broth. Stir until heated through and desired consistency, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve immediately with Cheddar cheese sprinkled over top.
