    1 Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add celery and potatoes; cook, stirring, for 5 minutes.

    2 Add stock, water and ham to pan; cover and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Bring to the boil. Stir in frozen peas; cook for 3 minutes, or until peas are hot. Set aside to cool slightly. 

    3 Remove piece of ham from soup and shred roughly; set aside. Blend soup with a stick blender until almost smooth.  Stir in shredded ham, chopped chives, mint and 1 tablespoon of sour cream. Season with pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat until hot.
