Have you ever considered having merchandise made, Chef? I would love a shirt with the caption ‘Onyo Is Always Number First’ printed under a photo of your face.

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!!!❤

[@christopherestrada8576]

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!❤

[@charleswebster2550]

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.

[@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.

[@brianwaite854]

Nothing quite as enjoyable as watching Chef have fun in the kitchen! 😂

Love all your recipes don’t even change you are amazing and funny I’m 66 and still learning how to cook I’ve been told I should have been a chef work in the food industry since I was young 😊 love seeing peoples expression on their face when they eat my food I use a lot of your recipes and they’re always amazing. Love you chef keep up the good work.

[@R.Akerman-oz1tf]

CJP is correct. Other chans are ok; but they ARE defining "onyo 1st('cept bacon).

[@ronl7131]

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

[@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!

[@cynthiaking4437]

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

[@RajeshVenkatesanRV]

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

[@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! ❤️

[@kevin-vt7dw]

I enjoy your personality, character, and love for God and country, and don't let me forget you're a pretty good chef too

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@Hikin70]

Pea soup and johnny cake makes a Frenchman's belly ache! Love it and thanks for posting this one!

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. ❤

[@rexannam2646]

"It's all about the tongue!"😜

[@paulgerber6723]

Nothing like pea soup. The pork with peas has a magical fusion. After working in the fall garden coming in to pea soup. That is living 😊

[@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.

[@IIS73f0II]

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.

[@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!

[@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!!!

[@donnawright6746]

I am a recent subscriber and truly enjoy your channel. The recipes are delightful and look so delicious. I love your banter with Jack and your sense of humor. Also, I love your accent. Easy enough to understand but takes me way back to my school days of learning French and always pronouncing my words with a Southern U.S. accent. Never could roll my R’s! So glad I discovered Chef Jean-Pierre!

[@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.😋

[@GrandmaSheila]

My husband LOVES this so I'll be making it for him this weekend. Thanks so much for this delicious recipe! And don't worry about the length of these vids, we're all here to learn. You can't give us too many details, Chef! This is the BEST cooking channel on YT. We all look forward to your latest recipes, & our families are delighted with our results! Live long & prosper dear chef!

[@janshipman1291]

Hated pea soup as a child…you eat with your eyes first…made it as an adult, and absolutely love it!!!! Will try your recipe with the ham hock and bacon! ❤️

[@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.

[@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 !

[@vincentdinapoli9399]

Jean Pierre....You are the BEST...Luv you man!!!

[@ChefJeanPierre]

[@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.

[@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 😂😂

[@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

[@WPTheRabbitHole]

in English "Snert" does not sound appetizing lol

My grandmother made a fantastic split pea soup. Watching this brought a flood of memories back!! It never dawned on me how easy it is to make.. 🤣 Merci Chef!🙏I'll definitely be making this real soon

[@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!!

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.

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.

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.

[@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.😊

[@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!

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!

[@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!
