Method
Step by step
Step 1Prep the soup base
Finely chop the onion and cut the carrot into bite-sized pieces. Slice the ham into bite-sized ribbons so it folds through evenly.
Step 2Soften the base
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Cook onion and carrot with a pinch of salt and black pepper for 5-6 minutes until starting to soften but not brown.
Step 3Add the stock
Pour in 750ml vegetable stock. Scrape the base of the pan so the softened vegetables flavour the soup, then bring to a steady simmer.
Step 4Simmer until ready
Simmer for 12-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Step 5Finish the flavour
Stir in the cheddar for the final 2 minutes so it melts into the soup, then taste before adding extra salt.

Portion and pack
Taste and adjust with black pepper. Portion into soup pots with the bread or topping on the side, then cool quickly before chilling if packing ahead.
