Dice the potato into 1cm cubes and soak in water to remove excess starch. Dice the carrot into 1cm cubes and chop the onion roughly.

Cut the ham into 1cm cubes.

Heat butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the potato and carrot, stir until coated with oil, then add curry powder and sauté for 1 minute.

Add water, consomme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer on low heat for 6–7 minutes. Add ham and green peas, cover, and simmer for another 4–5 minutes.
