This looks amazing, I'm definitely going to make this, Thanks for sharing your recipe. 😊

[@PatYoung-at-heart]

Next on the list! I've done 2 mince pies and steak and kidney pudding and jam roll poly so far. So glad this lovely lady popped onto my screen. Oh and they all turned out yummy.😊

[@Christinehood-ih8ef]

Lovely recipe. Can you do a Christmas cake please.

[@pentax16]

I saw this today and it reminded me of the hock soup my Mam made. I live have lived in New Zealand for the last 60 odd years. I looked in my cupboard and only had yellow split peas and a pkt of middle bacon. I followed your instructions but using the split peas and vegetable stock cubes, not chicken. I am about to sit down to it now for my tea. Fabulous and Thank you for reminding me about this. It is at the end of our winter here in NZ but I will enjoy it from now on. I will try it with the lentils but it’s Great with the Split peas.

Hello once again from Australia, Absolutely adore the soup recipe. I have never made stove top soup before as I have always made my soups in a slow cooker however I will definitely make this recipe. Thank you once again. Debbie - Aussie world.

[@janemckay2325]

My all time favourite soup My mum used to make it with bacon bones when we were little, then with ham shanks or a gammon joint. We were all weaned on this. I make it but it never lives up to my mum's.

[@ianthomas1060]

We had this for the first time in years just a few days ago! Virtually same soup ingredients, but we used bacon ribs and braised them in the oven in some water. Same end result, a great meal.

[@davidholiday4494]

you have reminded me about the next thing i need to cook too. great looking soup...thanks for sharing.

[@cecemax2604]

Big fan of your cooking Mandy and cooking bacon is so great too

[@dc022m5253]

I always buy the cooking bacon for soups like this and any bits left i make quiches, they are lovely with the bits of smoked.

[@JuliaCarr-t5j]

Looks amazing Mandy.

[@JohnJones-wo1bc]

proper delicious looking food.

[@london19657]

Looks very nice. Let's see if I can find some cooking bacon.

[@amsodoneworkingnow1978]

Of Aldi don't have cooking bacon try Tesco or Lidl. I always add turnip to mine rather than celery also I use ham stock cubes for stock.recently we were late getting home so I literally threw everything in my pressure cooker for 20 minutes we both prefer lentils shoot so blast soup with stick blender till smooth add the bacon bits and crusty bread thickly cut. Perfect meal for these cold nights

[@elizemalan6340]

My kind of s9uo yummy enjoy❤

[@patsysallnow7578]

Look delicious, l will be trying this . Thank you😊😊

[@pamelataylor3537]

Yummo, thanks for the video Amanda, sounds and looks good.

[@FreeFromReligion100]

Just made this, except I had left over mashed potatoes and cauliflower, so added this instead of the shredded potatoes. Delicious. As your husband said, so wholesome.

[@Angela-i5i]

Looks delicious yummy

[@amandah4834]

Thank you mand that looks lush iv never used lentils before but I really fancy making this one 👍Amanda xx

[@thedinnerlady9180]

It's so good! X

[@doubledutch4721]

I'm so glad you used white pepper, I've recently started using it again after many years of just black pepper. I'd forgotten all about it and not had it since I left home years ago-someone brought it in work to season our drinks of hot Bovril at work! It's now all I use and the differnce it makes to cooked veg, expecially cabbage is a game changer 😊

[@thedinnerlady9180]

Completely agree x

[@gillianphillipson2487]

Mine always ends up like peas pudding regardless of how much stock I put in Amanda. I've just bought a Dutch oven like yours, I love it.

[@thedinnerlady9180]

Restrict the lentils huni andvi love my stock pot x

[@neiloconnell2120]

It is pease pudding is it not? I know what you meant though. My aunt made please pudding every Boxing Day night. You could cut it when cold, in fact that is how it was served thinking about it. Sliced and cold, with piccalilli. Awesome memories. Thanks Gillian :)

[@thedinnerlady9180]

No ive done peas pudding this is a soup x ​@neiloconnell2120

[@lyndseybeaumont7301]

My favourite soup. Oh how I wish I was there to enjoy a bowl of that! I can almost smell it . Heaven xx

[@fmcb269]

Went into Morrisons last night for a pack of their chunky cooking bacon so that I could make some of that tasty soup for today's dinner, and I picked up one of their giant turkey legs while I was in there. Price labels all say 1,600g, but I weighed it when I got home and it was just over 2kg! - Thought I'd give you a heads-up so that you could gallop round there and grab a couple before they all go!

[@thedinnerlady9180]

Thank you for letting me know x

[@geordiemod4149]

Will you make me a pan and I'll come collect it 😮❤

[@thedinnerlady9180]

Anytime x

[@heinrichvisser8518]

I was just wondering what to make for today to eat. Thank you for this recipe. I'm going shopping later for the ingredients. I will make it when I'm back home. How does it freeze if I make a few liters of it?

[@thedinnerlady9180]

Freezes brilliant x

[@jhutch1681]

Yum. Reminds me a bit of our French-Canadian split pea soup with ham :)

[@AlisonThurston]

One of my favorite soups sometimes I change the lentils for green split peas. Love cooking bacon its so cheap and can be used for loads of recipes. Keep the amazing recipes coming really enjoy watching your channel

[@sharongrace1582]

Wow Amanda that looks like it is one very tasty and wholesome meal. Thanks so very much. I love making soup in the winter. I was a little bit worried about that lovely white shirt though at triple t time 😂😂.

[@thedinnerlady9180]

Haha he needs a man bib x

[@countesscable]

That’s tomorrow’s dinner then! I always make my Grans lentil soup which are the same ingredients apart from bacon, but this is another dimension 👍🏻

[@jimflynn466]

Hi Mandy I make this quite regularly, I use ham cubes instead of chicken for a nice ham flavour, great with a slice of plain bread and butter, delicious!!

[@soozyblue1956]

In Scotland we use a ham hough with the bone in makes a lovely stock

[@whoflungdung1046]

Aye we do too in the north east for making broth or pease pudding. I reckon we get it from the jocks when they used to invade us...

[@fibifeo]

I’m not a great cook . But this looks lovely . Going to give it a go x

[@thedinnerlady9180]

You should! X

[@traceysallotment2506]

I get cooking bacon from home bargsins and its 1.50 😊 great for soups

[@thedinnerlady9180]

Love it!! X

[@jimbop4499]

aye, cooking bacon...you get what you're given lol. But it's really bacon that didn't go through the slicer well. Great value for money! Tesco and Asda sell it. Getting that time of year now for soup/stews. Being honest i'm a clear broth guy and chunky bits of veg. Still drooling looking at your 'ol man ladling it down his neck haha....mmmm white pepper!

[@neiloconnell2120]

Red lentils' rule of thumb is by volume 4:1 liquid to lentils. Looks lovely btw. It is one of my favourite comfort foods from my childhood in the sixties. Thanks, Dinner lady :)

Ya know Mand, my mam used to cook very much like your nana, and the older methods are the best, the young uns now think they are cooking if they warm something up in the microwave. I love your reference to your nan, it reminds me so much of my mam and how she cooked love to you Ian and the fam Maggie xx

I thought you had to soak lentils in water for a while, or is that an old wives tale?

Depends on the type, the basic supermarket red lentils just need rinsing. Others might need soaking.
