Ingredients

  • slices deli forest ham black thin
  • cup croutons 
  • 0.3 cup half and half 
  • tablespoons olive oil

  2. Add shallot and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add peas, broth and 1 cup water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium and cook until peas are very soft, about 5 minutes.
