How to Create the Dish

1. Put ham hock and chicken into a large pot with the stock and water and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for 30 minutes then lift the chicken thighs out and set aside.

2. Continue to cook the ham hock for another 1 hour until the ham is cooked through.

3. Remove the ham hock and set aside until cool enough to handle.

4. Meanwhile, add the split peas and cook for 20-30 minutes until half cooked.

5. Add the carrot and sweet potato and cook for 10 minutes before adding the thyme, garlic, onion and chilli to the stock and simmer until peas start to puree, about another 15 minutes.

6. When the ham and chicken are cool enough to handle, remove from the bones and roughly chop. Place some into serving bowls and the rest into the soup. Check the seasoning and serve with the bora bread
