Pressure Canning Split Pea Soup with Ham

Ahhh..split pea soup with ham...perfect for a winter meal. Having jars of this soup on your pantry shelf makes for quick heat and eat meals that are both delicious and nutritious. Leftover holiday ham is the perfect ingredient to flavor this USDA-approved recipe.
Products:
Presto 23-Quart Pressure Canner amzn.to/4aGsIyk
Recipe makes 7-8 quarts of soup.
6 cup dried split peas (3 lbs)
24 cups water or stock
3 cups chopped onion
4-1/2 cups sliced carrots
3 cups diced cooked ham
3 bay leaves
3/4 tsp. allspice
Salt and pepper to taste
Combine dried peas and water in a large kettle and bring to a boil. Gently simmer for 60 minutes until peas are soft. If a smooth soup is desired, use a blender to process the soup in batches. Add remaining ingredients and gently simmer for 30 minutes. Remove bay leaves and ladle into hot jars. Remove bubbles and wipe rims clean. Place lids and rings on jars as usual and process pints for 75 minutes or quarts for 90 minutes at the pressure level appropriate for your elevation according to USDA tables.

The reason home canners can not can things like milk, pumpkin/squash puree is... The commercial canners use a special pressure cooker called a retort machine. It gently rocks and rotates the cans or jars as it pressure cooks them. They also can at higher pressures and temperatures than home canners can reach. My daughter works for a milk processing plant and writes the programs and specs for canning processes as required by the USDA. As part of her job she was taught the reasons such machines as the retort are necessary for specific types of foods across the board.

[@QKitchenandBeyond]

hmmm..I can milk and purees all the time- no, its not "approved" but it never goes bad so, Im not too waorried about what the government says I can do..I go by what my Mennonite ancestors did..and it works.

[@heavenbound2713]

Thank you for sharing this information! My husband always asked me why I can’t can certain things. I never can tell him why I can’t, just that I can’t! Now I can give him the reason. I’ll feel so smart! Lol 😃

[@peggym1932]

I bought a smoked shoulder and I’m cooking it today. We love pea soup with ham so, I’m planning on following your directions. I bought the presto 23 quart canner and I’m excited to see how it comes out! Thank you Pam for all your wonderful videos on canning! 😊

[@1954evelyn]

I love split pea with ham soup I have never had it except out of a can. I can imagine this would be much better than Campbells :) I am definitely going to try this but in pints Not sure my husband would eat it. We've only been married 45 years LOL Not sure I have seen him eat split pea soup. Pam, I am enjoying your canning videos so much you have inspired me to can again. After I got breast cancer (14-year survivor) I gave away to a new canner, almost all my canning equipment except my BIG AA that can hold 20 stacked quarts and a smaller AA that holds 7-quart jars. I had totally given up canning since the children have grown and moved out. Just Hubby and I. Maybe since he is now retired (73) I can convince him to join me canning, he worked (accountant) sometimes 2 jobs when we were raising kids so I didn't have to work and could stay home with the kids. I now sew/embroider for a local Family owned shop and I enjoy it very much. I only work when they have items for me to do. I do sew at home making quilts and baby gifts. But I think I have found my true love again..... canning........

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Evelyn, thank for your sharing your story here. So glad you are a survivor and still going strong! I love canning as well. I hope your husband will join you. So glad you kept your two AA canners--they are good equipment!

I have several bags of whole dried peas. I am going to make the split pea soup with them (I know you have to soak them first) and then follow your directions for canning. Thank you so much for the video. It is always so nice to have foods in my pantry that only require me opening them up and heating them to eat. My son is still fighting his cancer and this soup will be great to have after a long day of chemotherapy!

[@Brineytoes]

Making this right now, but in quantity suitable for Max. Soups of all kinds are on my radar for someone having dental restoration lasting a full year. Liquids first, then soft foods, then a full diet but either pressure cooked or pressure canned (like split pea soup). Tomorrow I will can tomato soup and purée it when I open it, then add cream. Home canned meats and veggies are a godsend for someone going through something like this. Buying Max was the smartest thing I’ve done in a decade! I also received a new water bath canner and a food chopper extraordinaire yesterday! It chops through metals grids, has a mandolin, and a couple dozen other gizmos with it. It’s great for speed and uniform sizes.

[@rebeccafritzinger9457]

I love ham and northern beans soup and probably cannot can it for log term. I really don't like split pea so I guess I have to make my soup more often or the up freezer space and freeze it.

[@KatyInNH]

I made this and it tastes great!!! I had a Honey Baked Ham that had a great bone, so I made stock with that. Then I used 50/50 ham stock/water for the liquid. I doubled and got 5.5 quarts ( I was short on ham to get up to 7). Thanks again for this video!

I made this yesterday, and the soup itself turned out great. But I have an issue with the canner. When I opened it, most of the water was gone. Never had that happen. The pressure was steady, nice even jiggle. All of the jars sealed. I would love some feedback on what may have happened and do I need to reprocess the jars? Thank you!

[@IowaKim]

You've inspired me! I have a whole ham I'm getting ready to cut up, so I think I will double this recipe. I have an 18 quart Nesco roaster, so I'll put the ham bone & water in there and let that simmer from one day to the next to make my broth, and remove the bone and continue with your recipe. I will run 2 sets of 7 quart jars through my pressure canner since everything will be heated up and ready to go anyway. I love using my roaster as I can set the temp without having to worry about scorching. It worked great for my canned ground beef.

Making your pea soup right now, mine took almost an hour, I assume because two of the three lbs of peas were, who knows how old but they are now done. I was too lazy to use my food processor & have no idea where my blender is so I used my emulsifier, was shocked it didn’t even take two minutes in the pot & it was smooth.

Hi Pam. I am so excited to have watched this video. My Nesco canner is being ordered today and should arrive very soon. I have had a ham bone full of meat in the freezer let over from Easter just waiting for Fall to make this soup. Mine is always very thick but I will adjust accordingly. When I cook my peas I always add the ham bone with meat. Once cooked I remove the bone and the meat falls right off. I use an emersion blender and add the rest of the vegs and cook. I do usually add a potato so I think I will add a little one to try. I will wait until we actually reheat it for dinner to blend it all together... just in case. Just might have to try it with fresh artisan bread. 😊 Hugs and blessings

[@anniedavis8505]

I'm a lazy canner so I use my immersion blender for the split peas. I'm sure your way is better as you get a consistently smooth soup. Mine is sometimes lumpy but they all eat it anyway.

I do can pureed pumpkin. I get it well above temp, to kill botchalism, in the oven, in my roasting pan, while I'm cooking it down, and, evaporating most of the water out of it. I bake it down at 350°, from chunks, to a very think puree. I can it hot. Like canned pumpkin you buy in the stores, which, is also cooked down and canned hot. This takes a few hours, because we are cooking so much of the water out. I, mostly, use it for pumpkin pies, and, pumpkin bread, which, baking temps and time, will also kill botchalism, but, I'm not afraid to eat it right out of the jar. I do the same thing with Hubbard squash. Canning it hot, is what I was taught, growing up. Yes, you need gloves. Well, I need gloves. We also leave 1.5" to 2" head space instead of 1". I'm not sure why. This is just the way we were taught to do it. I wish my grandmother was still alive to answer these questions, of, why. She had a, legitimate, reason for everything she did in food prep and preservation. All I have to offer is, that's the way we were taught to do it. This being said, there are over 200 of us in my family, and, all of the other mountain people, where I'm originally from, that have been canning pumpkin and Hubbard squash this way for my whole life, and, none of us have ever got botchalism from it. My grandmother was fantastic with sciences too. I'm sure she did her research before choosing to can it this way.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

It might be time to start following the safety guidelines for pumpkin and squash. So glad no one in your family ever got sick, but I am sure you know that does not mean it won't happen. To really kill the botulism spores, you need to pressure can.

[@BrendaBodwin]

@@RoseRedHomestead Well, when the pumpkin and squash are 350° for at least 2 hours, and, it is canned that hot. I don't see how it could possibly have botchalism in it. If it can, then, every food at canned could have it. I will take it to the lab. But, I'm not going not going to stop doing it. There is no way botchalism could live at that temperature for that length of time. But, I'll take it to the lab and find out. I'll inject fresh pumpkin with it. Throw it in the lab oven and cook it down. After its cooked down, we will test it.

I would have washed the peas first and looked for stones. I put them in a pot with water and cook them for a little bit then drain off the water and foam. Then I would add fresh water or the broth and cook the rest of the way. My question with canning it is that my split pea gets thick/dense with cooling and I was wondering how that would work when canned.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Viscosity can certainly impede heat transfer, but if the soup is soupy until it cools, there should be no problem with canning. This video shows a tested recipe and like yours, it became thick as it cooled.

[@karenerc1529]

I'm following this recipe to the 'T' but have the same question?? Why not sort and rinse the peas first? I did sort and rinse and found some not so good ones (organic split peas). Will this alter the final soup product? I hope not as I'm really excited for your recipe 😋

No, I have never had a jar break out in the cold. I just don't want them to freeze, or they might! I leave them out until they are cool to the touch, then bring them in.

I asked because it is not forged aluminum and I thought it would be difficult to clean. I have a presto pressure canner that is 8 quart stainless steel. I need to purchase a larger one would you recommend the Presto Pressure Canner?

Can I use yellow split peas instead of green or will that compromise the recipe?

[@HoldensNana]

Can you switch beans. Use pintos or cannellinis?

[@brendahall5419]

Would any color split peas be ok for this soup? I was gifted some yellow split peas that I would like to use

[@sashadieken1]

I only use yellow split peas (and season with thyme)-very Swedish!

[@susantreadwell1770]

I love split pea soup. I want to can some without the ham. My recipe is much the same as yours and I cook it the same way. Since it won't have ham in it, how long would I need to process the pints?

[@SherlockOhms119]

Process for the same times as done with the ham. 75m for pints, 90m for quarts.

My husband loves split pea and ham soup so I'll can for him. Thanks for sharing! I don't like split peas but I love great northern beans. Would it be okay to substitute so he has split peas and I have great northern?

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Sure, you can do that. If there is a difference between the processing time with both in the same canner, use the longest processing time for them.

I have been making split pea soup for years. I add potatoes to mine. Can I pressure can it with potatoes?

Is it safe to use some crisp bacon instead of ham? Sorry if that’s a silly question, my husband likes bacon in the soup and that’s how I make it. I’ve never canned it before and I always follow recipes and I thought I’d ask. Thank you for all of your wonderful videos!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Not a silly question at all! So long as you use about the same amount, which is very small. You could always add more after you open the jars to heat it up.

[@Aviarynut2338]

I love your videos! Do you have one on making onion stock or is as simple as vegetable stock? 🤔😂

[@RoseRedHomestead]

We do have one on onion stock.

If you also have the ham bone left could you add it to the liquid when you boil the peas? (And pull it out before blending)

[@deborahshaw2212]

I want to make this, but my husband won't eat ham. Any suggestions for substitutions?

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

I just watched your most recent video and you said not to blend food before canning because you need the thing liquid around the food. I am now confused. I found this after I asked if you had a recipe. I think I will just go ahead make it but not puree it. Thanks for the recipe.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Yes, that is the way to do that. I just addressed that very issue in our Burning Question video released yesterday.

[@icecreamladydriver1606]

@@RoseRedHomestead Thanks. I just found this answer to my question. I really like your videos.

I am 3 years late watching this...would it be ok to put in some potatoe and celery?
