I've made some pea soup using a 4p tin of mushy peas, and it was delicious. A nice dark green colour, too. To make 500ml of soup, just bring 400ml of water, a veg' stock cube (8.33p) and a tin of peas to the boil. Remove from heat and blend, liquidise or whatever. Adjust the quantity to 500ml (2 x 250ml bowls) by adding a bit more water or reducing it down.
I see no reason why you shouldn't also be able to make pea & ham soup by doing this at the same time as boiling a ham joint. It will probably take two tins and cubes. When it's cooked, fish the joint out and make the soup. Add a few offcuts of ham before blending.
