Quick/easy to make and delicious! Looked over several recipes and yours got my attention. Did not like fact of recipes boiling for hours etc. I make soup regularly, this was first time making ham/pea soup. A new soup recipe, my family and friends will be after me to make. Your video is awesome, and to the facts. Will definitely be looking for more of your recipes.

[@BackyardChef]

Glad you like them! Thank you. Best, Rik

Making this today - was looking for a recipe and my fave food creator popped up! The channel has vastly improved over the years but the music and voice over doesn't take away from the quality food we will make! Love this channel! Thanks Chef x

Yes the old videos when I was instructed "that is the way to make YT videos" has long gone what tosh that advice was. Thank you. Best, Rik

This looks delicious. My mum used to make something similar but I think she soaked the split peas overnight and cooked a ham shank in the soup. She added some dried sage and mint if I remember correctly. 😊

I’ve not previously seen this method of rehydrating the peas before boiling and separate to veg. Pea and ham soup is a winter favourite so will give it a crack.

Mom would puree the the peas ..i do it with an immersion blender. Some people like the texture. I like it smooth

[@BackyardChef]

Yes both ways are delicious. Best, Rik

[@alanporteous-oi2hx]

I cooked my yellow split peas for three hours and they where still hard. I've reverted to Lentils now. Not the same though. I use a Jam shank when I make mine. Gives it a much better flavour. Thanks for the video. Going to try it out in my new Hawkins Pressure cooker now.

[@BackyardChef]

Pressure cooker sounds like a great idea. Best, Rik

[@suzannedavidson6292]

alanporteous-oi2hx If you soak the yellow split peas covered in water overnight they will cook the next day faster. Yellow split peas are the best for split pea and ham soup, and ham stock made with a ham hock. Takes longer but worth it for flavour.

[@flippingforreal109]

Now that looks so yummy and thanks so much for sharing the video.

Any chance you could do a red rentil soup one day. I used to go to a restaurant every lunchtime which was run by a great Turkish chef. He made the best, thick lentil soup. It was a fabulous reddish / dark speckled colour if you know what I mean. Anyway, just asking 🤞🏻 Thanks for the lessons. My cooking is being transformed. God bless you 👏🏻👏🏻

Nicely done! I'm used to Habitant yellow pea soup which is excellent out of the can, but I'm looking forward to making my own and perfecting it. I guess Canadian back bacon would work well for a nice ham.

I just started a crockpot of split pea soup, appearantly, I got all the right stuff in it. Just don't have any bay leaves, but some cumin should do the trick.

Being a yank, I'm certainly no expert on British accents, but your accent sounds like there is some Liverpool going on. Four of my favorite musicians are from Liverpool. Your soup looks delicious by the way, nice straight forward video.

[@stanleyfox4201]

I can't get green split peas so have to make with yellow split peas. Have you ever made northern bacon and leek pudding? It's a steamed suet crust pudding with non smoked bacon of bacon and creamed leek filling. Incredibly delicious.

Hello, new sub here!! I have never made nor tried split pea soup, but you have convinced me to try. I have had a bag of them for a couple of weeks now. My question is, what kind of bread do you have with this dish or do you even eat it with bread? Can't wait to see the video of how you make your ham!!

I eat with any thick sliced crusty bread usually smothered in butter (I'm Old) Best, Rik

Why extra garlic powder when it has 4 cloves in it already I always thought ya put potato in also

Cooking is about adjusting to your own taste - this is a cracking recipe - however if you do not like garlic put less in or miss it out - just go for the onion - no probs. Best, Rik

Its funny I love curries, which is a type of thick soup or stew, yet im not into soup. and I don't know why, we didnt have soup when I was a kid, But we never had curry either, I was 18 when I had a vesta curry, and loved it, ive loved them ever since. im 70 now so you will know how behind we were to foreign muck as my mother called it , how wrong was she.

[@BackyardChef]

Ha ha ha, Allen. Love it - Many of the folks said that. I loved vesta's we used to have the risotto and a curry two different nights in the week. Mum tried to get us all onto something different - that opened my door to curries and a whole new world in food. I would say Vesta is probably responsible for my taste bud change! Where's my lawyer? Joking. Best, Rik

Do you pull out the bay leaf or is that a dumb question?

[@BackyardChef]

Take it out. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@grahammeleady2075]

Really!

[@BackyardChef]

Yes!

[@alanporteous-oi2hx]

Tried this. Soaked the split peas over night. Next day I made the soup. I simmered it for three hours after that time the split peas had still knot dissolved. Still hardish. Done it another hour. Still hard. This is the third time I've tried. Still get the same reslult. So I use Lentils now

[@BackyardChef]

A good alternative. However I'm not sure why they were still hard! I bought US split peas - I doubt if that helps! Best, Rik

[@mickbachner]

Split peas have a shelf life of about 1 year, after that they get very hard and can be almost impossible to soften completely. (you can liquidise but the soup will still have a slightly grainy texture). My advice is to use them quickly after purchasing and you will be alright.

[@troywallace322]

Minimum pea cooking time 6 hours

[@suzannedavidson6292]

alanporteous-oi2hx Salt may be your problem. Do not cook your peas in the ham stock. The salt will prevent them from ever becoming soft. Make your ham stock with just water. Cook your peas with the onion, celery and carrot, bay leaves and water. No salt. When peas are soft combine with the ham stock. Enjoy.
