Ingredients:

4 cups peas
480g
2 cups chicken gravy
400g
1 cup water
250g
2 tsp olive oil
9g
3 slices prosciutto
50g
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Prosciutto:
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot, add the slices of prosciutto. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they become crispy.
- Remove the prosciutto from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Once they are cool, crumble or chop them into small pieces. Set aside.
2. Cook the Peas:
- In a large pot, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the peas to the pot and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender.
3. Add Liquids:
- Pour in the chicken gravy and water. Stir to combine with the peas.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and let it cook for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
4. Blend the Soup:
- Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
5. Add Cream:
- Once the soup is blended, stir in the heavy whipping cream until well combined. If needed, reheat the soup over low heat, but do not bring it to a boil.
6. Serve:
- Ladle the hot pea soup into bowls.
- Garnish each bowl with the crispy prosciutto pieces on top.

7. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful, creamy pea soup garnished with the savory crunch of prosciutto.

Tips:

- Use fresh or frozen peas for the best flavor and texture.

- For a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to blend the peas to your desired consistency.

- Crisp the prosciutto in a pan before adding it to the soup to enhance its flavor and add a nice textural contrast.

- Adjust the creaminess by adding more or less heavy whipping cream according to your preference.

- Garnish with fresh herbs like mint or parsley for an added burst of freshness.
