Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 small fennel bulb—thick stalk discarded, bulb thinly sliced 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced 2 garlic cloves, chopped Kosher salt 1 quart whole milk 4 cups fresh or frozen peas (1 pound), thawed 1/2 cup diced smoked ham hock (from one 11-ounce ham hock) or smoky ham 1 tablespoon minced shallot 1/2 tablespoon chopped chives 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil 1/2 teaspoon sherry vinegar Pea tendrils or baby arugula, for garnish

Instructions

In a large pot, melt the butter. Add the fennel, onion and garlic and season with salt. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, until the vegetables are tender but not browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the milk and simmer for 15 minutes. Add the peas and simmer until tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender. Strain it through a fine sieve set over a large bowl. Season with salt. In a small bowl, combine the ham with the shallot, chives, olive oil and sherry vinegar. Spoon the ham salad into the center of 4 bowls. Ladle the warm soup into the bowls, garnish with the pea tendrils and serve immediately.
