Pea & Ham Soup 200 year old recipe

[@frelnc]

I love your attitude to cooking. Nothing that isn't necessary. Use proper ingredients. No insistence on "equal sized bits". My kind of soup. Thanks so much. I see the last comment prior to mine was two years ago. I certainly hope you have some other recipes to offer. Really enjoyed this one. Thanks!

[@Seeds2freedom]

I love cooking. For me it's always about flavour. Here is a link to my cooking videos if you want to have a sticky beek at them. All the best.

A bowel of this on a cold day is great. I always like some kind of a hot sandwich with it.

[@user-sc2bl5fc7b]

Thanks for the upload I didn't have anyone to ask how to make it and appreciate people like you passing information on to people like me.

Jody Rowe My ancestors & and I thank you for your kind words...😋

[@delasantos]

This is the real ham and pea soup recipe! Great video, ignore the haters that eat soup out of tins ....

[@TheMetal750]

Watching this while I ticked into my own pea and ham soup. So good, you kinda forget just how good until you have it again.

[@Seeds2freedom]

TheMetal750 It’s like an old friend 😁

[@margaritasalt06]

Thank you for the recipe.. I've never seen Toasted bread look Soo yummy before.

[@MrDoingEverything]

Looks good and I bet its tastes even better.

[@msgypsyqueen]

Yes, YELLOW!! Not green. We love our yellow split pea and ham soup.. here in 🇨🇦 .. 😏🤓👍❤️🎉

[@albertsouthafrica6187]

Crikey mate!!!!! That just made me jump for a towel!! I can even taste it by just watching that!!

[@albertlanger2339]

Top recipe and well explained. One thing is about giving a dog a cooked bone as it can shatter into splinters when crunch on. My wife had this belief. Somehow in 1983, our dog was hospitalised with the Vet for a week with a stuck chicken bone splinter. Not us. Sandy on coming home would/could not drink water. The Vet said nothing else he could do, I had to put Sandy down which still cuts me up when I think of it.

[@Seeds2freedom]

Hello 👋 Our little chihuahua only nibbled on the meat on the bone. Her mouth could not crush the bone. Sorry for your loss.

[@julieb9215]

I think I’ll try this. I like basic recipes. They’ve been around for forever because they’re so good! If a person needed to speed the process up a bit they could cook the ham hock in an instant pot or regular pressure cooker.

[@nodzzzz155]

Love your style x Especially the part 'the fat is the flavour'....yes x Wil definitely try x

[@Seeds2freedom]

[@COYOTE165A]

Love Smoked Pork Hocks in my Pea Soup also thanks for sharing etc.

[@paintitblack6728]

Flamin' marvelous, I have ham hocks and yellow split peas at the ready , I'm off to the kitchen , I was hoping to find the authentic recipe , as I reckon that's how my Mum made it , + I'm thinking of adding vege stock liquid , and half water for the second batch just to see how that goes. Thanks do much for uploading Seeds2freedom., it's a cold sundy mornin' soup making weather !

[@Seeds2freedom]

Paint it Black Best soup in the World 👍👍👍

[@paintitblack6728]

@@Seeds2freedom Yep And I had it last night and looking forward to today's later 2 smoked hocks boiled 2 cups of Yellow split peas Brought back memories of when my dear 'ol Ma used to make it , put some bay leaves in too as well as some peppercorns that's the one she made and when I started after watching you , my memory came back , Good onya mate Thanks for the upload..

[@kellykellau]

It was a hit ! Thanks Bernard lol love to the Princess also x

[@dictare]

One of my favorites! You made it perfect with just pepper. Have you ever rinsed the peas first? I slosh it around in a bowl like panning for gold and all kinds of junk comes out that's not pea dust. We have dirty peas in the U.S. :)

[@Seeds2freedom]

dictare I normally keep my yellow split peas in a large storage container but these are clean from the packet. I normally buy 10 LBS at a time. Is a family favorite in our house. My 80 year old Mother in law will phone in advance to make sure I have it when she gets here.

[@walterh26]

This recipe is so elegantly simple, for such a fantastic taste experience! Especially mid-winter. And thoroughly enjoyed for several days after, adding whatever vegetable is nearing its use-by or best-before date from the fridge. When/if I get bored(?) I even experiment with Indian/Thai curry, green, yellow, red spice pastes, coriander, cumin, turmeric, galangal, ginger, garlic, capsicums, cucumbers, carrots, swede, parsnip. dill, parsley, bay-leaf, curry leaf, etc etc. We have FEASTED!!! Hint - go easy at first, but experiment!

[@Mandy-dt3ey]

This is exactly how my Mum made it and I do too. Only thing I do differently is add an onion and occasionally I cut up potatoes in it to make it go further if I have more people coming.

[@Seeds2freedom]

Sounds good 👍

[@peternufc81]

Cant beat it

[@helenmcguire6502]

Going to make this one longer you cook it the better we make it like this in Scotland it so good with irksome role and butter yum😚😚

[@Seeds2freedom]

Is definitely a family favourite of ours...

[@janblackhurst1652]

This is more like I make this soup. Only real difference is that I use bacon bones instead of ham hock or bone and add a roughly chopped onion into the pot at the beginning. I don't remove the bones part way but leave in. When the kids were little I would remove the bones at the end of cooking, remove the meat which is then returned to the pot. Bones are discarded after hubby had a chew to make sure there was no meat left. Now, a bit of meaty bone is added to the soup plate. And I don't add pepper. I rinse the peas before hand to remove any loose skins and dirt etc. If I am good, I will soak overnight to cut down on cooking time for them. Used to cook on the stove top until I got comfortable using a pressure cooker and now that is what I use. I don't give any cooked bones to my dogs. And like you I prefer the yellow peas. Hubby couldn't tell the difference in taste between the yellow and green, but I find the yellow have a nicer flavour. Don't know where you are from but I buy the McKenzie brand as well. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.

[@briggsahoy1]

Thank you, we’ll have a bash at it !

[@Seeds2freedom]

let me know how it went

[@kellykellau]

Im up in Nth Qld now and havent found yellow split peas anywhere..strange but this looks great Thanks :)

[@Seeds2freedom]

Kelly Kell look in the area where the keep dried lentils.. normally in the same isle as Soup 👍

[@kathrynburkhill7885]

I use marrowfat peas and a grated carrot then cook same way as video . Firm family favourite, got the recipe from my mum .

[@Seeds2freedom]

Sounds yum...

[@CraftyCapsWildPrints]

Do you have to use ham hock? Can you a roast with bone in?

[@steveirwinpage1157]

No you need a smocked hock to get good tasting soup

[@SavannahVu1985]

No darling it won’t be the same, you need the salt and Smokey flavour from the ham hock or else it will be so bland. Good luck!

[@louieberenyi7293]

I cook and mash the peas separately keeping ham chunks that can be delightful discovered when eating 😊

[@joedennehy386]

After 2 and a half hours the peas have gone

[@pamelaroy8007]

after peeling that fat off u cut it up in squares or however u like em and fry em up and you have cracklins--very good

[@Seeds2freedom]

Yum...

[@michiganhomesteader5325]

Man that looks good! Not sure where to get yellow peas though.

Thanks!

[@yvonneost12]

Don't you soak your peas overnight ?

[@Seeds2freedom]

No need too,,,,just simmer for around 45-50 mins and they melt away...

[@KM-pq7jk]

Unsmoked bacon/ham hock have salt, not just smoked hocks. In fact its better with unsmoked hock and a little chicken stock, not plain water.

[@moriah1394]

The gelatinous stuff is collagen …great for our skin. with out thyme and celery and bay leafy to brighten it and some gristle removed (or is that all cooked down?) too flavorless for my tasre . Simple though

[@Seeds2freedom]

Simple 200 years ago 😜

Pea & Ham Soup 200 year old recipe

[@stevemckenzie8234]

Get your stock finished and cook the peas and then imursion blend the peas. then add the ham.

[@syds7135]

I love split pea & ham soup. I’m prepping to make your potato, leek & bacon soup. I’m putting it in my insta pot. I’m thinking I’ll slow cook it. You are rubbing off on me. Can I just use ham, not ham hock. Being from the south we use it, I just don’t want to because of the little bones when it starts breaking up. Suggestions! This is next, after the lasagna and I make yellow rice & Mexican corn casserole.

[@Seeds2freedom]

SidsAngel Mzz Cooper you can use ham if you like... no rules in cooking 👍

[@syds7135]

@@Seeds2freedom 😊😊

[@antoinettevanderpool7828]

Can you use 1/2 green peas and 1/2 yellow. Can you use 1/2 & 1/2 cream ? Can we add sour cream ? . HELP.! ! ! PLEASE ??

[@Seeds2freedom]

Antoinette Vanderpool There are no rules in cooking... go with the flavours in your mind...👍

[@crisspycritic]

Why in the hell would you use cream??? This is no place for your kind...

[@SavannahVu1985]

Going Half and half with the different types of peas is ok but the cream or sour cream is unnecessary. The peas make it quite creamy already, trust me I love creamy soups but this recipe really doesn’t call for it, if you really want then maybe add the sour cream to your own bowl at the end if you want extra creaminess. Hope that helps. Good luck!

This recipe belongs in the book of British epicurean cooking and dining. However the book only contains one page so no index is needed to find this entry.

[@brentanoschool]

good with chopped sauerkraut

[@irenetoroitich6818]

I always wash my split peas 😂

[@martinparker6536]

tastes better the next day re-heated

[@Seeds2freedom]

I agree. Seems to have a depth of flavour the next day..

your supposed to soak the peas first

who doesn't clean their peas first WTH

need to add an onion.

[@pamelaroy8007]

now my grandpa would take and after peeling the fat off hed make cracklings out of it, pork rinds fried

[@Seeds2freedom]

Will do that next batch..

[@pamelaroy8007]

you wont regret it, you sure wont buy any bag of pork rinds out of a store again, at least i didnt

[@wildnites558]

Adding no vegetables is bad enough, but seriously --- you need to WASH and pre-soak those peas.

[@Seeds2freedom]

I guess you missed the bit about this being a recipe from the 1800's?...Yes I use lots of vegetables in cooking normally,...but this is an authentic recipe...And there is no need to pre soak or wash these yellow split peas...

[@crisspycritic]

Hahaha wanted to quit watching when you started mashing the peas. My moms got a family recipe and she never ever uses a masher in anyway for her pea soups. Hahahahaha

[@Seeds2freedom]

crisspycritic That’s the beauty of life. We all do things differently.. Be boring otherwise 😎

[@RuudJH]

1. Never has green split pea soup tasting bitter, and I've had it's soup 100s of times. 2. Not sure about a smoked ham instead of a normal ham, but I guess it's fine. It doesn't seem to fall off the bone very quickly here though… 3. Agreeing with another commenter, washing the split peas is really recommended. There's Always some dust and dirt and sometimes little stones in a packet of dried stuff like that. 4. You say there's no rush in cooking this soup, but then you start crushing it with potatoe masher. Just let it cook for another hour, I say (or perhaps pre soak the peas, as some take much longer than others). And in general I would say, a respect you recreating your family recipe, but this soup defenately would improve very very much with some flavouring veggies. It defenately needs some leeks and celeriac. That's really basic cooking, and it's recommended to improve on things from the past . :)

[@jazzbaby6]

That looks grey, tasteless and not very nice! I guess it's personal choice.

[@Seeds2freedom]

Ah, but of course, without tasting it you are making an ill inform decision. Hopefully after you have actually tasted it we can then receive an correct opinion.....cheers

[@jld3229]

Seeds2freedom Delicious just the way you made it!
