Haha! I just threw our leftover ham into our Instapot along with some yellow peas and chicken broth. Not as fancy as your recipe but still tasty. I’m a huge fan of pea soup although it gives me the vapors.
I could never relate to the phrase “the wonderful smells of the holidays” as ours was dominated by the smell of lutefisk. I can’t eat fish or stand the smell to this day. Folks will say, “You’re Scandinavian and you hate fish? Why?” My answer is “Lutefisk abuse.”
