This creamy, comforting soup is perfect for any season, and it's easy to prepare with just a few simple ingredients.

Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Ladle the hot pea soup into bowls.
- Garnish each bowl with the crispy prosciutto pieces on top.
