I love split pea soup! One of my fondest memories of growing up was going to visit my Great Uncle (Grandmothers Brother) in Alaska. He owned a float plane and we would take off on adventures, me, him and, “the guys” (his pals) all over the place. When the fish weren’t biting or we just had bad luck we would decamp to one of his cabins and he would make split pea soup! As a young man being around the guys from the greatest generation, listening to their stories, learning their ways, and getting endless amounts of sage advice was an amazing way to grow up. I may have forgotten most of the advice but that soup will stick with me, always. The big chunks of ham and bacon, the sweetness of the peas and carrots. The heady aromas that would waft on the breeze drawing in the whole squad no matter where we were for rousing tales and endless laughs… heaven. Prison food!? Ha! A banquet fit for Kings! And hungry adventurers.

[@joanies6778]

Lovely memories. I hope you write them down for your offspring!

[@sonyavincent7450]

Wow I am jealous of your childhood memories!❤

Thank you for this beautiful & descriptive story, Christopher. I know you are a kindred spirit through your written words. I am very old now and my memories are my best friends.😊 Sharing them with others is a twofold gift. Keep writing & sharing.

Everybody should be totally jealous of Jack - because after all of this video - he gets to feed his face, like a chipmunk, of all this great food and all the other great food video recipes !!!

[@rexannam2646]

What timing!!! Someone left a large unopened package of split peas in our laundry room. I couldn't find anything wrong with them so, I adopted them. Now, you give us a fantastic recipe for using them, and so close to payday!!!! Timing is everything. Thanks again Chef JP and Jack for coming to the rescue!!!❤

[@stormblessed2321]

When I think of the small list of my best friends, Chef Jean Pierre is number one.

[@lucieengen7046]

Number first lol.

[@timgreig7474]

You mean "number first," right? :)

[@uni-byte]

I've been cooking pea soup like tis for decades with 3 small differences. First, I use the yellow peas. For me they have a nicer flavor (maybe just my imagination though). Second, I use the meat from the hock. After you have finished the initial boiling, remove the skin from the hock and cut the the meat off it, chop it up and add to the soup near the end when you add the ham. Finally I add some "budder". "Budder" makes everything "bedder"!

[@doglady174]

Thank you for the tips. I haven't made split pea soup for years. Wanted to make this recipe but I only had yellow split peas. I am using a ham bone with meat from dinner yesterday.

[@uni-byte]

@@doglady174 You're welcome. The ham bone will be excellent!

[@lucieengen7046]

I do the same. You’re not wrong about the yellow peas for sure. I also like to add shredded cabbage 😊.

[@lisabishop6266]

The small store I stopped at today only carries the yellow peas, no green ever. So, when I can't get a ride, I use yellow. If I catch a ride, I like the color of the green. But I also shred the meat from the hock of my soup, if I have one. Otherwise I buy a small ham steak ,brown it and cut it up to add.Sometimes a small diced potato too.

[@kleetus92]

I was amazed there was no budder in this recipe as well!

[@ron56pvi13]

My wife and I take care of her father and brother for a couple days each week. I do all of the cooking using your recipes. My brother-in law asked what was for dinner. When I told him pea soup, he said "I hate peas" but after a bit he agreed to try a "little bit". He ate 2 large bowls and he asked what's for tomorrow (Friday.) Shrimp Fra Diavolo of course. Same Chef? Yup. So he said, "I'm in". Thanks Chef, you've made this easy.

[@rachelschweitzer3356]

I want to sincerely thank you for the way you teach. You have a way to make it approachable for anyone. My husband didn't even know the difference between celery and leeks before he started watching your videos. God bless you!!

We make a version of this in Sweden and it is a tradition to eat it on thursdays, we have eaten this for at least 1,000 years probably more, very old dish here. In the modern version of this we eat pancakes with wipped cream and jam afterwards.

[@jerryodell1168]

An interesting fact I learned when in college in San Diego was a history assignment about foods in the days of early California. I choose foods for sailors since I was in the US Navy at the time. One of the important items on the ship's manifest was dried peas along with many other dried foods. Dried pea were then made into a thick pea soup with dried meats added. (thick because of water use restrictions). Later I learned pioneers heading west and traders along the northern Great Lakes carried as many dried peas with them as they could because they were easy to carry and made a wonderful soup.

[@HugsXO]

San Diego here, just saying hello.

[@kleetus92]

I love split pea soup! One very surprising soup I had was from a friend's mom who lived on a farm and she made us ham potato and cabbage soup. She has long since passed unfortunately, but that soup lives on in my memory! Absolutely fantastic! Sitting in a nice hunting cabin with a wood fireplace a couple of buddies sitting around joking around eating this wonderful elixir... brings back fabulous memories!

[@ronl7131]

Love a good pea soup. Late Dad would make with leftover ham bone & ham bits. Yummm

[@sharonrickards3297]

My Dad always had a beautiful ham (and lamb) for Easter. I always looked forward to the split pea and ham soup he would make from the ham bone (not everyone liked it, they didn't know what they were missing). He would bring me a big container of it, because he knew how much I loved it. Thanks for another great recipe Chef!

[@emom358]

Lamb and barley soup is wonderful too.

[@andrewkliewer1282]

When I lived in the same country as my father (he was a chef as well), I used to call him up and ask how to make stuff all the time. When I moved to Japan, it wasn't as easy, but it was more important because I often missed "home cooking." Since he passed away, I have always regretted not keeping all of those recipes. I am so happy to have found your channel. You remind me so much of him the way you are passionate about food. This soup is one he used to make for us when we were young and one of my favorites. I will definitely be making this soup this weekend, if I can find all the ingredients here 😊 Thank you chef!!!

[@MadMonk67]

I made this tonight for my family and it turned out fantastic. I did take the time to shred the meat from the hock and put it back into the soup. So good, and so hearty. The days are getting warmer where I'm located, so I'm freezing a good part of it for the fall. Thanks for a fantastic recipe.

[@RajeshVenkatesanRV]

Thank you, sweet pea, for the split pea soup. You are the best.

[@Garth2011]

Never knew the leaks, celery, carrots and garlic were an ingredient for split pea soup recipes. For some folks, they might prefer using a stick blender into the mix prior to adding the ham to smooth out the broth a bit. I've never had this soup so coarse...its always been mostly a rougher smooth texture. Can't wait to make a pot of this before the weather changes. THANK YOU !

[@loisbrace1669]

The soup is incredible! I made it for dinner tonight. As you always say, "Make it your own!" I didn't have a hock, so I used all ham with the exception of the bacon. I had all the ingredients. It tastes amazing! One thing I do with pea soup is when I'm serving, I offer a dollop of sour cream on top of the soup. It made it that much better. Try it. You'll love it.😋

[@jtrawls1]

"A soup without leeks, is leeking in flavor." Love your channel. I'm learning how to cook and your videos help me out greatly. Love those short ones on how to do the little but important things like cutting an onyon or using salt and pepper correctly. Thank you Chef!

[@cynthiaking4437]

This soup is something people either love or hate. I love it.

[@edmonguy]

Absolutely my favourite soup. I prefer a good, meaty ham bone to the hock, but either is the key to a really tasty end result. Some of my favourite hacks: add in a cup or two of the leftover ham gravy (helps thicken and adds FLAVOUR!), a tablespoon or two of Dijon or old fashioned mustard, and add in a cup of frozen peas (gives some texture and looks pretty). I like doing it low and slow in a crock-pot for 8-9 hours. I think your soup is beautiful, chef!!

[@TonyM-d3q]

Chef: Thank you for such a wonderful recipe. I made the Pea Soup for my family yesterday and it was a huge hit. I think half the fun was in the prep and having a proper mise en place to begin. It happened to be a rainy day in New England so it made it even more fun to enjoy the entire process. My family LOVED the soup and I also made some adult grilled cheese sandwiches to go with it. Love your channel and all that you do. My good friend Joe Chellew turned me on to your channel about a year ago and it has become a great source of learning and entertainment. While I'm nearing my 70th birthday, "Even a Child could do it" makes it less intimidating…..Thank you! (And at the last minute, i needed to thicken the soup so i dialed up Joe for an assist and he coached me up on a slurry)...

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Sorry for the late response to your nice comment, we are glad you enjoy our channel! ! Any friend f Joe is a friend of ours! He has been a godsent to us! ❤️

[@rexannam2646]

😂😂😂

[@AlmightyAphrodite]

I was one of the people requesting this one 😁😁 very curious about JP's version of it as I'm exceptionally spoiled with my grandma's version of pea soup, she uses whole and split peas and loads of good stuff ❤ It always takes an entire morning of cooking, well... an entire night too of you're counting to put the whole peas in water the night before 🙈With loads of meat, some on the bone and indeed definitely leeks! The playing with the carrots amuses us too JP! 😂 I will have to show my mom, she'll tell me I'm crazy, wanting fancy carrot wheels 😂😂

[@sophiemac7494]

Jean-Pierre love your sense of humor and love to cook with you!

[@monalester392]

Chef, thank you for the challenge to use leaks. It will pick some up on my next grocery trip. We love split pea soup. I will use your recipe the next time I make this dish. ❤ I'm not sure of your exact words but my husband uses your comment frequently about the thousands of taste buds in the mouth, the essence. We so enjoy your humor and how you share your skills and delight in cooking. Bless you for sharing your recipes and energy. ❤

[@merryhunt9153]

Jean Pierre didn't make much of a production of the thyme he added to his soup, but I think thyme makes all the difference between pea soup that tastes like mud and soup that's delicious.

[@Farlig69]

Jack - how did it taste?? One of my favourite soups ever!!! And no need to stick to any recipe, just throw it together using whatever you have and it always, always turns out delish. And you just gotta eat the meat off the knuckle- it's unbelieveably good!!!

[@maureenbrown3688]

I make a traditional French Canadian pea soup with similar ingredients, but we use yellow split peas and the bone from a ham. Delicious comforting food with a baguette

[@ronareid7956]

I love that French Canadian yellow pea soup too! I use a French Canadian recipe also. I found it in a subscription recipe magazine from a TV cooking show in the late 1970s. It calls for green split peas but the magic ingredient is a little dried CHERVIL. It's perfectly wonderful. Would love Chef's (or anyone's) opinion on adding this herb. I think it is an underutilized herb and am always interested in recipes that call for it.

[@Uuuuuuurrgggggghhhhh]

It's a beloved soup in The Netherlands. We call it "Snert".

[@AlmightyAphrodite]

And in (some parts of) Friesland we call it jetta, vraag me niet waarom 😂 (Waarschijnlijk afgeleid van t Friese woord voor erwten) Recept van mijn beppe / oma is voor mij het enige echte recept. Een van de weinige waar ook nog hele erwten in gaan 👌

[@anjavanderschelling-deman5501]

yes with pork belly and smoked sausage ( ja met buikspek en rookworst)

[@TheSecretChateau]

"Snert" is an utterly fabulous name!

[@DavidFrankland]

I loved Erwtensoep when I lived in NL. I didn't like the black bread though

[@136.9TheRabbitHole]

in English "Snert" does not sound appetizing lol

[@karlathompson3139]

Once I seen this I knew this would be for dinner tonight. So I got busy stirred up a loaf of sourdough, and made a quick trip to the store picked up some leeks and hammocks came home finished baking the bread and prepping my mise en place. Now my soup is cooking and smelling delicious and my bread is cooling dinner 2 hours away and I'm starving. Thank you Chef for yet another 5 star recipe

[@DavidG-p8s]

Who likes chunky split pea soup? NOBODY. By simmering for 2 hours the peas and vegetables will fall apart and then add the smoked pork hock and simmer 1 additional hour. Remove the smoked pork hock, remove and dice the meat from the bone and return it all to the soup and serve. Omitting the bacon will remove all the fat and your soup won’t taste like bacon. The smoked pork hock will add enough meat for 1 lb of split peas, so there’s no need for the diced ham. You can make this recipe into Pinto Bean soup by substituting Pinto Beans for the Split Peas or use what ever beans you like. Fantastic.

[@birgitelisabeth9661]

There is not much edible meat on a smoked pork hock. I agree that half a pound of bacon is a lot but I would still use some bacon to let the onion, etc, sautee in it. It adds great flavor.

[@mmesser-lu4cx]

What your cooking channel/ credentials?

[@stefaniemore3203]

Jean-Pierre: You are a lovable character, and it is delightful to watch your videos. There is no pretense on your part. You are real. It feels as if I am watching a friend cook, and it is wonderful. I love how you say that you amuse yourself while spending time in the kitchen. That is part of your charm, your playful spirit. You have true joie de vivre. Split pea soup is one of my favorites!!! But, Jean-Pierre, I hate to break it to you, no matter who cooks it, it does look like prison food. Once you take a spoonful of a truly good split pea soup, you don't care what it looks like, you just eat! There textures, the flavors, the aromas ... well, who cares what it looks like, right? I send you many air hugs.

[@DownButNotOutYet]

Good morning chef J-P, as always, the cooking session was just perfect with good fun. The pea soup is excellent, so nutritious and healthy. I will definitely cook this, I am in the southern hemisphere, autumn is starting to show and soup will be the order of the day in our home during winter. A cooked smoked frankfurter sausage is also nice, fried lightly fried in butter, sliced and placed in the soup, even in the plate, it is so good. This is just extra, the smoked pork is delicious all for flavour. Thank you for sharing and showing how to cook good food. Many blessings to you, do take care and have a beautiful day.

My all time favorite soup. My dad used to make the best split pea I’ve ever had, I honestly have never tasted anyone else’s who’s ever been close.

[@TerrySmith1953]

Looks wonderful! My Mum used to make ham hock & split soup a million years ago when I was a kid. Loverly stuff!

[@Shellyshocked]

I have a deep freezer full of split pea soup. I make huge batches and separate it into serving sizes. My family and friends can't get enough of it. My little one would eat it every day if I let her lol. I make mine different, but the ham meat that's closest to the bone is soooooo good. I keep the bones for myself after I take it out of the soup.😊

[@mariowickel456]

My mom , and oma also added diced potatoes . Now I want split pea soup thanks JP

[@rexannam2646]

Diced potatoes are a great way to absorb extra salt if you accidentally over salt your soup. I thought about this very thing when he was talking about salting correctly. However, just the addition of potatoes sounds like a great idea!

[@mdlinny]

[@brucecampbell8814]

THIS is the soup that I grew up on. My mother made it sort of like you do, except she used water. I know, I know, water tastes like NOTHING, but she didn't have your videos to show her the error of her ways (lol). I made this for the folks last week (mum doesn't cook any longer) and my dad said "just like you used to cook hon" and mom said, no, it's much better. I explained the home made beef stock, may have been the difference. My dad said "well, your mother was a VERY good cook, and I like her cooking better" to which I replied me too (mostly). I then asked him "when I was young, who do you think taught me how to cook"? Mom looked over at me, and the love in her eyes was priceless. Thank you for covering this recipe Chef, the folks (and me of course) LOVED it

[@jean-jacqueskaselorganreco6879]

the absolute classic of winter soups as well in Luxembourg, granny and mum did it exactly this way.Another way to get the smoky sausage taste in it is adding Mettwurst(might not be existing in USA), as we do as well in lentil soup. Thanks dear Chef, it is trip back on memory lane

[@JVBCanberra]

So happy to see this one Chef, and very happy to see how similar it is to mine. The only differences I can see are soak the peas in stock and add the stock/peas to the pot, and a bit of lemon juice. The pretty carrots are great! Thanks for this recipe!

[@joanies6778]

Yum! 😋 I love split pea soup! However, I do prefer blending some for a creamy texture for split pea soup. Sometimes, I make enough to can it, so I have homemade soup at hand. I agree about cooking with water. Instead, I add flavor by cooking with stock. I have never cooked with leeks... must try it.

[@archie7012]

you really bring back the joy in preparing food. Your channel is so much more than just cooking. Maybe looking like prison food, but actually tastes like soul food, right? I can't understand, why they don't take as much effort and fun in making food in those institutions like cantinas, hospitals, prisons, elderly homes, ... It would give so much joy on the taste buds. Keep up the good work Chef!

[@bengt_axle]

J'habite au Québec et ce plat me rappelle de mon enfance. Dans les années '70 les écoliers visitait les "cabanes à sucre" (des fabriques artisanales de sirop d'érable dans les érablières). C'est là qu'on dégustait ce plat typiquement québécois. Aujourd'hui cette soupe est toujours servie dans les cafétérias et elle est parfois préparée sans viande.

[@TReZxDrEaMz]

Such a joy to see you cooking with joy and passion and want to teach us everything.

[@nopenottalib4366]

I love pea soup. I had a bowl of pea soup (don't know if it was split pea or not) with my Dad many, many, many years ago when I was just a boy at this cool restaurant right off the Blue Ridge Parkway near Asheville, NC. It was a great time eating some yummy pea soup - just me and my Dad. I'll treasure that memory until I die. Anyway, I might have to make this recipe and see if I can freshen up that old memory.

[@jfrunn]

I make pea soup pretty frequently, was actually intending on making some tonight. Interested in Chef Jean-Pierre's take. I'm pretty sure I've been one of the ones requesting it.🤣

[@ManilaTom]

Awesome Chef Jean. I love how you also make the actual written recipe easy to find. So many “celebrity” chef hide the written recipe. Very frustrating. I never watch people who do this.

[@linwise7241]

Love your channel chef. Here’s an idea that I use. I keep a shallow pan in the drawer in my counter under my cutting board. I just open the drawer and scrape, not using my knife😉, the compost in. When it’s full, I take it outside. Easy and convenient, doesn’t take up space on your board and out of sight.😊

[@nephretite6301]

Omg!!!! About time!!! You are the first chef I've ever seen make that. That's an African/Liberian household specialty(my house). Can't wait to make your version. My mom uses smoke turkey legs.. Thanks for sharing..

[@paulbonge6617]

This has nothing to do with Split Pea Soup, however I'm delighted to say that my new bottles of balsamic vinegars arrived safe and sound. On another note, I'm loving the blackberry/ginger balsamic, and might I suggest Cher Chef Onyo, that you think about an orange/ginger white balsamic vinegar!!! It would be lovely in a lite vinaigrette for seafood salads and salads but also in a glaze for sautéed salmon! comme d'habitude, passez une bonne journée et merci Chef

I am truly sorry chef (and Jack of course) if you believe i do not like you (it's a rather popular opinion, I can assure you!). However I must say your videos have and (hopefully) are going to continue to help me. I've had a recipe for risotto I've been cooking for years, it's only recently I've started expanding my knowledge in the kitchen but it has improved a lot, and whilst I may agree with the recipe police on your Bolognese, next time I make it i will also be taking your advice on board. God help the next person that person that tastes my risotto 😕 (wouldn't be the first experiment that went wrong) however. You are both a inspiration, and an annoying pair of nut jobs. Please continue to be insane you're exactly what this world needs and I love you ❤

This is still wrong, as English is an awful language that no body can understand, let alone try and speak plus my technology is also now failing me (again), Buon Natale

My dad made split pea soup when I was a child. I don’t think I e had it in 55 years. Funny, I’ve been craving it. Thank you chef for the great recipe.

I made a soup like this but used lentils and the only time I use smoked pork hocks is when I make black beans which gives a Feijoada taste to it. Now as for the Caldo Verde, when it comes to soups to me that's number 1, look into it and I'm sure everyone will love it. Thank you once again for another great dish and video Chef and Jack.

I made this recipe about six weeks ago, and of course it was fantastic! However, Chef left out one last minute ingredient that I have been adding for years, and I'm surprised that he did. For each serving add a pat of BUTTER! It ratchets up both the flavor AND the creamy texture.

Chief, you are the delight of the KZbin cooking channels! ❤

Hi Julie🌹🌹 How are you doing?

[@micheandmikey]

SPLIT PEA SOUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Chef, my mom makes one you would absolutely LOVE! She saves all of the ham hocks to build her base. Sorry I am just now seeing this (usually watch within the 3-4 hour mark) but I was busy. I'm only 7 seconds in and I cannot WAIT to watch this one! THANK YOU CHEF!!!! Ok, 12:34 seconds in......JP, you crack me up. What I wouldn't give to come and cook with you. Cheers!

Could you please do an episode on salt&pepper. I know it sounds silly but there are so many different kinds of salt and I would like to know how to use them. I use my pink himalayan on veg/kosher salt on meats/sea salt in pasta water. Now I understand that there is a "finishing salt"? So many different varieties of salts now. Is there a difference? Also, when to use course ground or fine salt in cooking along with the many varieties of pepper when cooking, pink/green/black, etc. I would appreciate that. Your the best Chef Jean-Pierre♥

[@alee9961]

Love it! I like mine smooth, so I use my immersion blender at the end. Yummy 🎉

My father always made Split Pea soup in the winter time, and my son loves it. We make it slightly different I have to try your way Chef!

[@davidcrossley7145]

It’s so enjoyable watching such a prominent chef who has the ability to connect with his viewers. I’ll definitely be making this soup chef 👍👍

[@ChefJeanPierre]

👍👍👍😊

[@robertgunn9169]

So close to one of my favorites Dal soup . A few more spices and the whole worlds cuisine are connected by our desires for what truly is good!Thanks chef👍

[@aikidoshi007]

Hi Chef! I cook this at least once a month using Blue Boiling Peas which do require soaking overnight, but the result is great. I put a pork pie in it, thereby making a 'pie floater', a very traditional Yorkshire meal. Great comfort food! Been doing it for 50 years or so.

[@gnohn9366]

I chuckled through the whole video.The soup looks delicious.

[@blazetownsend8785]

The recipe on the website did not say when to add the leeks. I watched your video to see when. Love this recipe, turned out amazing. I did enjoy cooking it. Took my time prepping the ingredients.

[@crazy8sdrums]

I tried this recipe tonight. I used a little too much stock so it came out thin...but it sure tasted good...and better than other split pea soups I've tried elsewhere.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

That happens to the best of us! It’s good to hear you liked the flavor. 😊👍

[@andrewcope5114]

Chef I love watching but moreover listening to you. I worked in the restaurant world for 20 years and I appreciate your energy. Please forget something every episode. It helps young chefs to not take themselves too seriously.

[@johanhoekveen6353]

In the Netherlands we call this snert, and it is good when your spoon remains upright when you put it in.

[@mariangeerling2950]

It looks like my mom's. We always put in cloves , ginger and nutmeg . The consistency is perfect, thick and creamy-looking.
