[@dededammann9108]

I actually loved how transparent you were about accepting Joe will be with you for a long time. He's a special part of your life enjoy the blessing.

[@tiny4933]

I love how you try to cater to everyones food likes or have a variety, especially when you have a vistor. I also love the love Joe always displays for you with the sweet cheek kisses.

Pea soup makes my ❤ so happy. I grew up in SW MN and my mom made it a lot when I was growing up. I usually make it once a year now and share with my in-laws but my hubby won’t touch it.

[@acountrylife]

More for you!!

[@stingz8460]

I came to your channel for cooking but stayed for Peter! I adore him. He reminds me of one of my sons. Life with him will be nothing short of Joy & Adventure. Your whole family is beautiful but Peter has my ❤.

[@susanr791]

Joe was so little when I started watching this channel! He’s sprung up so much - my Grandma S would say - good healthy country living!

[@deeb8733]

Freezing grapes works GREAT! I put them in my chicken salad. YUM!

[@henrycooks1883]

I just made a pea soup exactly the same way, only I had a pound of split peas. Jennifer you need to get a stove top diffuser, you put it under the pot and it helps regulate the heat, I have electric but my neighbor has a gas stove and neither one of us could live without it, you put the heat at a low setting and it helps keep it low so you can simmer all day, another option that is helpful is to put on a smaller burner, with or without a difffuser. I love them so much I have 2. They are also known as a simmermat,

My Jamie works at a Sheltered workshop in Fulton, NY. He’s on the sewing line & is so proud of his job.

[@kelliconlan8133]

Just got done making your Split Pea soup recipe. Can't wait to eat it tomorrow after it sits a day!

[@acountrylife]

Hi Kelli, if you're on Instagram, please tag me with your bowl of soup.

[@merediths.6955]

Maria picking just two pieces of potatoes for her plate cracked me up! 😂

[@cherylmcconnell3167]

My Mom always said that I ate like a bird when I was a little girl 😂 ( reminded me when I saw Maria’s portion on her plate ) I definitely outgrew that 😂. I love how Joe always has a kiss for his Mom 🥰. Your soup looks so delicious, Jennifer 😋

[@janetlavoie2441]

I add lots of carrot and celery and onion like 2 cups of each to my pea soup and it bulks it up and is so very good.

[@shirleywarner8831]

The soup looks delicious,. Joe is such a loving young man and loves his mom and camera.

[@EvelynEve83]

Hello Jennifer 💕 I hope you're having a wonderful day 🌹.

[@acountrylife]

Hello Evelyn, have a wonderful day. We’re getting a lot of rain which is very abnormal for January.

[@WillowsGarden]

Hi Jennifer and sweet family! Yum, split pea and ham soup is so good. I’m a soup lover too Joe. Love watching the kids opening their Kidpik boxes, it’s so cute. Have a blessed night!

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

Im with you on not dirtying more dishes and using what’s close. It’s so much faster and easier. Looks delicious! Always love seeing a new video from you. Thank you.

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

Forgot to say, I love the celery leaves! I use it in rice and all kinds of things. It’s the best part to me.

[@anna27446]

@@cumberlandquiltchic1 Me too! So much flavor!

[@nakmorris7438]

I have found that if you use a defuser on a gas stove top, it helps with dispersing the heat. This helps with simmering. This is what I use. Cast Iron Heat Diffuser for Gas Stove - 2 Sizes Included - 8.25 and 6.75 Inch Heat Diffusers for Electric Stove - Gas Heat Plate - Cast Iron Simmer Plate for Gas Burners, it can be found on Amazon. Also if you have a cast iron pan larger than the pot that also works.

I have been watching you for several years and never realize I needed to join it just subscribe, I’m old and it takes me a while to get LOL!

[@tracersburkett6294]

We use the Aldi steak seasoning on our burgers. Sooo good!

[@acountrylife]

Sounds great!

[@ritabaker3113]

I love any soup also. Like Joe Blessings

[@s.belton8447]

As a Bariatric Patient,now my portion size meals are the same as Maria’s. Your meals and desserts always look delicious. Great video.

[@debbrarose9969]

My gram taught me to use marjoram in pea and bean soups. If you don't care for thyme, try marjoram next time.

[@karenkissick6884]

I will take Maria's soup...wow it looks simply delicious....

[@ireneheidner7065]

Thank you for the video, Jennifer. Split pea and ham soup is a favorite in Northern Germany in winter. Yum. Greetings from Germany.

[@CassBeaz]

I add lentils to my split pea soup whenever I don’t have enough or just feel like it! It’s very good together!

[@rachalnocchi5600]

I make split pea and ham and ham and white bean soups quite a bit in the fall and winter! My whole family eats it up, even my pickier family members who tend to not like peas and beans. Irish soda bread goes really well with these soups, yummy!!

[@carolynrandle5454]

Ilove fried potatoes with onion

[@tinkerbellwiz]

Lol lol Maria taking 2 tiny cubes of potatoes and her part of a green bean lmaooo 😜🤣😅🙃🤣 the soup looked great 👍

[@cynthiacook7768]

I've never had split pea soup, will have to try sometime. After watching y'all using the LEM bags and tape dispenser, I finally ordered them. We always processed our own game and years ago wrapped everything in butcher paper. Now we freeze back strap and round steak in food saver. Using the LEM bags for ground venison this year, saved so much time and didn't take as much room in the freezers.

[@AuntJennyMarie]

💜💜💜

[@sharonf8188]

Oh my goodness salad kits here in Nova Scotia are now $6.49!!!!

[@momof2momof2]

You can add diced potatoes to sub for the lack of split peas. And, yes, pea soup does get quite thick after a while. I use chicken broth in place of the water. Love your earrings 🥰❄☃💗✝🌞

[@amyfox-frost2277]

Thank You Jennifer!! I LOVE the cookbooks-Tony LOVES the hat. Made the Hug and Kiss soup first thing, we had it with some home canned Jellied Cranberries 😉. Cannot wait to work my way through both books. Love all your videos!

[@acountrylife]

Sorry I missed your comment. I’m so glad you are enjoying them.

[@sandiebrown8291]

Love pea n ham soup but being the only one I don't get it to often. love following along with you.

Welcome Jutta! I'm so glad you're here.

[@marcysfillet1]

A read that a chefs 2 favorite tools are chef’s knife and tongs as they are multipurpose. I can get cranky in the kitchen when my husband starts dirtying up extra knives etc, lol.

[@thewoodenspoon9679]

Jennifer that is a beautiful soup!! It is on my list for this week. I loved the kids clothes! Everything is so cute. I also love hanging out in the kitchen with you. Oh! I ordered my apron today!!

[@eileenkillen1481]

Where did you buy your Spurdle (big paddle spatula)? Blessings from Ireland Jennifer ❤️ 🇮🇪 🙏

[@hollyfink6168]

With Joe, it’s probably the textures. I have a small food processor I use almost everyday. I put all kinds of healthy vegetables in everything I make. Mostly for me. .

[@deniselakatos5418]

Hi Jennifer. My Mother always made split pea with ham soup (which I love) and watching you make it brought back some very happy (and bittersweet) memories! Joe is getting so tall--almost as tall as you! Love spending time with the Brockmans. Hugs.

[@vickymyprayergarden6846]

I've enjoyed and loved watching you Christmas prep and celebrations videos , as well as your day after Christmas haul . what great deals !! These dishes in this vid looks delish as well . I so enjoy your family ! Precious kids , hot hubby and omg what do you do to yourself !?!? You look younger now than in older vids !! Share your secret !!

[@kellykloster9112]

Your soup looks delicious! I haven’t made split pea soup in so many years. Thanks for the meal inspiration!

[@GAPeach58]

The pea & ham soup looks delicious 😋. Anything with ham, in my opinion, is good. 😁👍. A neighbor gave me some venison last week. My son joined me for country fried steak one night, so tender & venison tacos today. 😁

[@JenniferMariahF]

My gas stove is like that as well. I can turn it to 2 and it still simmers a little hotter than I want. I discovered pushing the pot over to one side or the other more can help with that.

[@pennysue8926]

Hi Jennifer... I never thought about using just a 1/2 bag of dried split peas for the soup... It makes sense in the consistency difference. Also, just an opinion... if you had wanted to add the red lentils to make up for the other missing peas... they would have worked fine. They're all related... and none of them have a really strong flavor profile. Usually they just take on whatever you are cooking them with. Wonderful video in spite of whatever glitches you think you may have encountered. It helps to keep it real. Great job! Hugs, Penny Sue

[@karenchakey]

Loved all the clothes the kids got, love the little skirt Maria got so cute.

[@mollysmith6055]

Fun video, Jennifer. Despite only the half bag of peas that looked like awesome soup. I chuckled over Maria's typically sparse helpings. I'd have thought after having been sick she'd have gained a bit more appetite when she was well again. No matter, she gets what she needs. The clothing boxes looked like a fun surprise for the kids.

[@susnorth40]

Hey, does this apron come in toddler sizes ? Our granddaughter would love one to match the one I’d like to order, maybe with a toddler design? Floured hand prints and hearts and cookies, lmk. Hi Joe ! ❤🇨🇦

[@acountrylife]

Suzanne, that is a brilliant idea. I did some searching today and cannot find a toddler or youth size. I'll keep looking though.

[@dianakoontz3518]

I just made some split pea soup last week and I added cubed potatoes along with the carrots etc. I like it different ways, yours looks 😃good.

[@loriannkruithof2043]

Hi Jennifer... I love split bean and ham soup! Yours looks great! ❤️

[@kelliconlan8133]

I have 3 ham bones in the freezer and a package of dried split peas. Time to make soup. No one else in my family will eat it but I'm guessing I can freeze extras. Do you know if I can???

[@acountrylife]

Yes!! You can freeze split pea and ham soup. I love the quart size deli freezer containers from Amazon. They come in a 24 pack.

I've never had split pea soup. We need to try it.

[@yvettegerry9862]

Love soup and split pea is one of my favorites with cornbread and fried potatoes . I fried potatoes and onions tonight for tomorrow because I have to go out so just refry them at dinner time . What cute boxes ! 🌟🌈🌟

[@debbiegoffredo8027]

Idk if u can find yellow split peas make ur soup with them u will enjoy it so much better everyone will eat it

[@jaynebennett3401]

I laughed at Maria trying to only get two potato cubes to go with her half a green bean! I’ve seen birds eat more! 😂 Joe is almost taller than you Mom, he is such a handsome young man and has really come a long way where being on camera is concerned!

[@gholzem]

I think the lentils would be just good as split pea soup. I have used them in soups many times. It's delicious.

[@beverleypicard2116]

I love split pea soup , I like carrots in mine too. I can't wait to see how you make yours .'

[@milisaspencer6744]

We have made split pea soup with hamburger and I always ate mine with some ketchup

Looks so delicious Jennifer as always You really are a blessing to me I love watching you and your beautiful Family 🙏🏻✝️☮️📿❤️🌹🌷💕❤️‍🩹💗💜🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Those prepared salads are so pricey in south Africa. I never ever buy them.

[@doxiemom6850]

Thanks for sharing the recipe. Was the pizza from aldi. Do you like walmart or aldis better. I'm gonna try aldis this week.

[@gloriahohman2790]

That split pea soup made me hungry for a pot. I don't see how you and Warren can afford to feed your family with All that Maria eats...lol. She almost had food on her plate.

[@COWELLGIRL]

Do the kids enjoy the pea soup

[@michaelbarry1518]

It’s the middle of January! Why are you barely posting things BEFORE Christmas?? Isn’t this a bet extreme in lateness? Just curious…really.

[@judygillespie3242]

I am over the holidays.

[@judygillespie3242]

She is always way behind on her videos. It isn't a priority for her. I feel the same way.

[@sarahgilliland4857]

Wow, y’all are a bit entitled sounding. I can’t imagine that around the holidays, her sole priority is to make sure you are happy with recent videos. It costs zero dollars to be kind.

[@debgordon6542]

For many, it helped extend the joy of the season which in reality doesn't end until Three Kings Day. With all that she has going on and keeping her priorities in order, I'll take anything she posts whenever she posts :-)

[@MyFavoriteColorIsBLUE]

I don't know if I've ever had this type of soup before? But I'm going to give it a go here shortly Jennifer

[@Kentucky2Country]

It’s Tuesday, January 17th, man aren’t you behind.😂
