Split Pea Soup

This is fab just as it is, which is why I labelled it as vegetarian, but since I still had some gammon in the freezer I added that and had a meaty version

Ingredients (serves 4)
250g Yellow Split Peas
1 onion, diced
1 leek, sliced
1 carrot, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 litre vegetable stock
1 tsp thyme
2 tsp sunflower oil
150g roast gammon, cubed (optional)

* heat the oil in a large pan and add the onion, leek and carrot. Cook for around 5 minutes then add the garlic and cook for a further minute
* stir in the split peas, stock and thyme
* cover and simmer for 1 hour
* if using gammon, stir it in about 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
