[@michelle4673]

Haven't had this in yrs since my Brooklyn days, decided to make it and I'm happy I did. It came out amazing!! I didn't get a chance to get scallions and thyme but that's ok.

[@undreapinkney806]

Sounds great Caribbean pot NICE 👍🏾❤❤

[@sandy-k1n]

I love red peas soup!! No pork i use smoke turkey for flavor.Thanks for sharing this Chris.

[@theledards1677]

[@judibaine3976]

Hello Chris,. I made this soup tonight. It is still cooling!! i have to say it is the best!! Thank you.

[@maggiecheungblaize8647]

Hello chef Chris. I just finished watching this video and went to the store and bought all the ingredient. It smell, taste, and looks sooooooo delicious. U r the best. Keep it coming. Thank you 😊

[@Dharma0911]

Absolutely loved this, shall definitely try this....please do some more soups for fall...thanks again.

[@islandgirl3330]

When I have left over stewed red beans or any stewed beans or peas and I am lazy, I usually throw in some carrots, potatoes or whatever I have to make a quick soup without pigtails or dumplings. Thanks for the video.

[@dawnmclaughlin2451]

Would love to give it a try 😋

[@fiyepjio6194]

This soup was a hit with my family! My mother even said I can make it anytime. Thanks Chris! A tip I learned for Gluten free spinner dumplings. I used Pillsbury Gluten free flour and the dumplings came out perfect! I used a 1/2 cup of water added little by little. As the flour was kneeled and mixed with water it begins to firm and becomes easier to make spinners.

[@jocelynnicholas8463]

Renee Rainey lol i never know stew peas could be nicer until i tasted it with pigtail

[@ReneesHairweaving]

Andrew Smith watching my salt intake. Glad you enjoyed

[@legal_beagle5294]

This is a nice interchangeable recipe! I thought the same thing...I'm not eating a pig tail...EVER!! But, I know I can make it vegetarian...the addition of thyme, allspice berries I will definitely incorporate in my bean cooking!

[@mizzpoetrics]

holli perkins You can substitute beef, I've even used chicken and/or turkey.

[@Tammypooh]

mizzpoetrics i usually use a combination of ribs and snout. I don’t eat either but my family loves it!

[@hemab8146]

looks delicious

[@caribbeanpot]

very much so.. do try

[@Blackouttint]

caribbeanpot

[@jviarruel]

starting getting cold here sure.... could use that now. I think the orange sweet yam could be a replacement for sweet potatoes it's way cheaper and tastes awesome in your soup you made. I love soup!!!!

[@lindabenn7771]

Yum. Salt pigtail. Great with rice and peas

[@donnajustbeingreal6607]

Yummy.. New Sub :) Love your cooking.

[@toddstropicals]

I love red beans/peas but I recently switched to small pink beans because they cook quicker and come out very creamy. The last batch was awesome we did it cajun style with sausage. OMG you just made me hungry, that looks so good!!!!

[@boscopit]

nice job

[@diannebalin4440]

Hi Chris that soup looks very simple and that's what I like it also looks very delicious so I will be trying it out tomorrow thank u and keep up the good work

[@Sherirose1]

'Pimento - - nobody trying to eat that' Slapping dough - kinda freaky 🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂👆👆 Ohhhhh lovely guy.

[@dehgyal]

Love your recipes in the Virgin Islands..we add a bit of sugar for the sweet. Love it and it is good without meat.

[@gachaclubnewlearningnewsit5316]

And can milk

[@jusbnme1612]

Yes! I was wondering what happened to the sugar…that’s the way I remember my granny making it.

[@melaninrose6974]

Trini!!

[@maxxjax6101]

Man you always bring it man

[@melvalynwalker3050]

This is how i like it. .

[@sarahozigi5009]

How much of the coconut milk do you put? Do you have a ital recipe

[@PreciousWon]

Do you know when the cookbook is going to be available again on amazon? I need this in my life. Most family lives in JA and I can't really get recipes as readily.

[@healthismywealth9668]

Hi Cris, nice change, but you forgot the pumpkin. That will help to thicken up the soup plus add more flavor. Keep up the good work.

[@Spadesz93]

Health is my wealth it's "his take" for a reason.

[@deelot1]

I love your accent so much! Even if you made a video where you’re just reading out loud the classified ads, I would watch it 😂

[@VampTwinkie]

Suggestion to anyone who wish to try this way of making this soup, add cubed pumpkin or squash for a richer texture, also, if u cant get your hands on pigstail (i sure as hell cant) u can also use that beef thing he talked about. I use both beef and chicken in mines

[@judibaine3976]

I added OKRA and more onions than the recipe called for. I also added Karella and celery.. Normally bitter but not in my soup. The coconut milk must have hidden it. Thumbs up Chris.

[@delrosebrady1432]

That RED PEAS SOUP white like chalk...not a colour...Red Peas soup must rich and red

[@VampTwinkie]

Delrose Brady you have to understand a lot of these things can’t be found everywhere, some are seasonal as well, so we have to substitute with the closest thing we can find... I’d kill for some curry goat right now, but I get lamb instead. It’s not the same, but really close if done right

[@VampTwinkie]

ChildofGodFirst hella late on this but, it depends on the type of squash you use, if it’s the hard type add it from the beginning (I made the mistake adding it last and Jesus Christ it took forever to boil out)

[@LimeLivesMatter]

A nice One Piece of nice food ih ❤️😝

[@OrangeHairedOne]

I bawl when I see what he put in that pot. oh goodness, that is soup!

[@jeneecooke4096]

red peas soup and stewed peas are two different things.. in Jamaica at least.

[@annsam2111]

Exactly! 😁

[@caligirl3000]

Plus weh di scotch bonnet deh? No sah. I agree with you 100. We're Jamaican's & I guess every island got their different recipe on stew peas. Jamaica to di wuurl.

[@islandgirl3330]

"Stewed" peas or beans is the method used for cooking. So you can have stewed black eyed beans/peas, stewed pigeon peas, stewed red beans, etc.

[@ayanagrant11]

Your cooking is always the best

[@dlovely635]

Love the accent 🙂🙋🏾‍♀️

[@Jamieetter]

chris luv ah pigtail.

[@miriam.israel.1444]

I don't do 🐖 though but this is nice/ I'ma try beef or turkey with this.

[@vivianyee9766]

I'll be over for dinner! I love all of your videos!!! Just wondering...can you use canned red beans?

[@anydae]

Yes you could, rinse them too

[@Chino30040]

reminds me of my mom use to make that when i was younger. that's good eating Chris nice. hey I would be in Toronto next month any places you recommend to eat at in Toronto

[@mal208]

mandarin buffet is a nice place

[@supercalidee]

For the smoked turkey, do you prepare it like how you did the pigtails or you can just add it in?

[@amanagladys481]

This is good 😊 but no meat as I just want veggies thank you so much for your advice and support ❤️💙 lots of love from London Lawrence Simon Anne Marie love the dumplings no Sait ok thanks

[@maymoona1263]

Liked subbed and shared!! I need foooooood!!

[@kimmirving4259]

Ok so...(getting excited) if I add more potatoe, could I avoid the cigarette dumplings?? I don't dig dumplings?? I got some smoked hamhocks so my salt should be the right amount I think? After watching this (the first time) My husband (of 32 years) notice a giant smile on my face and said... "Oh oh... No more Chef Chris for YOU" ...haaaaa I said, Darlin, YOU WILL be SMILING TOO.. after you eat what he just showed me to make...haaaaaa THANK YOU!!!

[@tileb]

potatoes, dumpling and beans! that soup is sure hearty 😄

[@caribbeanpot]

Caribbean soups are very much like North American Stews.. full of body and comforting. Typically there would be more starchy ingredients - yams, sweet potatoes etc

[@VampTwinkie]

Im curious as to why you tosed the water, i know you stated the reason behind it, but isnt that where the color comes from? Its always interesting watching your methods of cooking, it always differs from what im used to.

[@3n1ty59]

I’d just like say this soup came out amazing for me. I followed all the steps except for the meat carrots & allspice pepper seed. I’ve never tried scotch bonnet in my soup before but mmm-mmm what a zing it gave to the flavor. Thank you for sharing.

[@josio1673]

Can I make this in my instant pot? I haven’t made in years normally make it on the stove.

[@glorialewis5444]

Yummy 😍😍😍
