My twist is to caramelise (extra flavour) the onions in a pot, then add the hydrated split peas and I ALWAYS use bacon bones for extra flavour. A touch of garlic is yummy as well. My kids will always come from far and wide for my pea soup. Love from Australia.

[@lifeisbeautiful1323]

I just did excatly this way and soup came out beautiful ;)

Split Pea Soup - How To Make Split Pit Pea and Ham Soup 2318pm 26.8.23 i said caramelize th' onions... but was pooh-poohed by the olds from the depths of the 'eld hearth and home brigade ie: the old women who know best. and for the hated veggie twist... those veggie faux meat slices you can chop up and throw in for added flavour or..... faux hot dogs cut up into pieces and added after they have been boiled in the pan. that tastes pretty nice..... tonight? homemade bread and split pea and leek soup.

[@gisellel12357]

Just did that a couple days ago and it really sweetened it. Also browned the ham hock really well in the same Dutch oven so the flavors were great. Took a very long time but it was worth it.

[@WPatrickOfficial]

I must have skipped over like 5 other split pea recipe videos and decided that yours - like always - is the best. You don't sit there and talk about your life story and the impact the soup had on your as a child for 12 minutes. You just start in with "here's what we're making, let's go" and it's fantastic.

[@Shadowgirllllll]

Lol me to.

[@benames5736]

I tried this recipe tonight and it turned out really good. This is the first homemade soup I have ever made. I kept the video next to me in the kitchen and I had no trouble following along. Thank you!

[@crawleyr4919]

Oh I been making for years... now I even have ventured in to Zuppa Toscana, knock off from Olive garden

[@ratlips4363]

I didn't have any ham, but I used cut up smoked kielbasa sausage. Worked out great! My second attempt was to carnalize the onions, brown the ham, and then add the rehydrated peas. I also used homemade chicken broth rather than water. Dayuum...this was a dish fit for a processing plant with a humongous freeze-drying machine! And yes, don't forget the Bay leaves! I also used my microplane grater to grate in a couple of garlic cloves. Thank you Mr. Wolf for providing the guidance to deviate from the basic recipe!

[@janivoutilainen2610]

Split pea soup is eaten in Finland a lot, but we soak the whole peas for 12 hour, and then boil them. Smoked bones and ham and marjoram are added and simmered for few hours. Eaten with mustard and onion. Excelent stuff.

[@stevelogan5475]

Sounds good

[@ZazzilasArden]

That's just pea soup then. Still good, though.

[@burneggroll]

Do you change the water before boiling?

[@janivoutilainen2610]

@@burneggroll No need to.

[@VivKittie32]

That sounds amazing. 🤤

[@RuudJH]

Finally an American who seems to know what he's doing with this dish. I've seen some put in liquid smoke, and saying you want some of the split peas with still a bite, and more of that nonsense. This clip is just good. I'd personally put in leeks instead of onions, and a cup of cubed celeriac is great, but your recipe is very clear and easy to follow, and the end dish looks great.

[@ZazzilasArden]

My recipe is nearly identical to his, except that I use bacon ends, minced garlic, and dice the carrots smaller.

[@Jayce1701]

Grandpa used to make this for me with hotdogs instead of ham, and sometimes he'd add diced potatoes to it as well ... delicious!!

[@lilliputlittle]

It has been a decade since I've made split-pea soup. We're guests at an Easter dinner tomorrow so I won't have a nice ham bone to simmer to make it. In lieu of that, I bought some ham steaks this afternoon to make a pre-Easter dinner of split pea soup and ham. I used your recipe with a simple Cook's bone-in sliced ham steak. I made a half pot but went ahead and used the entire ham steak which was close to 1.5#. Nothing wrong with a bit more meat! It was delicious. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

[@1slogar]

Been cooking for MANY years; recently received a free whole ham so deboned it and made a ham broth using the bone & bit pieces over 2 days. Done the ham & bean soup recently so trying split pea for the first time. Threw some things together then decided to look at some videos when I came across yours, very similar to to how you made it and that makes me feel good. Your videos are the best and I hope mine comes out as good as yours!

[@VivKittie32]

I’ll bet that was tasty.

[@1slogar]

@@VivKittie32 Thank you, the peas didn't work. The original is the best.

@@VivKittie32 Thank you very much. It even impressed my hardcore friends. Always appreciate comments like yours.

[@aarongerrish8930]

I never liked peas as kid but when was about 22-23 I went to my aunt's house after working outside in the cold winter weather of Maine and she had a homemade pea soup with Ham chunks in it and she said try it and I was kinda concerned into it but ever since that I love pea soup 😂 great stuff! Going to make one here soon

[@meatwad1]

I make split pea soup pretty often. I'll use either a half of a ham steak, one or two smoked ham shanks or hocks or two or three smoked pork neck bones. Any of those work just fine.

[@LIHA420]

This is so delicious and budget friendly. I've made this many times and served it with cornbread. Thanks so much for posting.

[@kathrynmcmorrow7170]

Mmmm, cornbread! I usually don't like sweet cornbread but I I wanted another recipe to use up some super coase ground cornmeal I had (called "Red Floriani") so I tried the Bob's Red Mill cornbread recipe on the medium grind cornmeal package. I made double the quantity and baked it in a hot 12" cast iron skillet. I sliced the cold leftovers into thick slices and froze them stacked as is unwrapped in thin plastic clamshell food containers. When I wanted to reheat some I just toasted pieces in my air fryer. That toasted the outside made it into a wonderful cornbread rusks! Still tender on the inside but golden brown outside. Best rusks you could wish for! So make more cornbread than you need and make rusks quickly whenever you wish!

[@emintey]

There is nothing like hearty split pea soup on a cold day. I like to add some chicken boullioun to the water, and also to use kielbasa instead of ham at times for a good flavor.

[@c_farther5208]

I never thought of keilbasa! YES YES YES.

[@robinmaynard1640]

@@c_farther5208 so agreed. Now that it was brought up, gotta make some!!

[@Torgo1969]

Kielbasa makes everything better.

[@louispaparella7586]

I've tried a few different recipes through KZbin. This one is the best! It's the real deal! Only difference I made was added fresh chopped garlic and a little bit of olive oil during the last stage.

[@dutchy5752]

good one. I used sausages instead of ham. The original Dutch recipe is so complicated that I never made it. This was easy and to be honest the best I ever had :)

[@c_farther5208]

I always get good recipes from here and from the comments as well. TheWolfePit taught me about that stuff which is better than bouillon. I never heard of that but you learn a lot of things about cooking on these channels. Making this today. However, there is a better than ham bouillon I ordered so I could skip the ham and get the flavor but have to wait a week.

[@mannysgarage]

I've seen this video like 300 times. I make this soup once a month for my wife. Its just perfect, Just like my mom used to make them! Thanks!

[@abdielrainbowhellsangel2256]

A man of culture!

[@Torgo1969]

Split peas are super cheap when bought in bulk, so I have been adding them to my stock of preps lately. A little curry powder is tasty when mixed in to the soup.

[@jonikellyl.m.t.2508]

I cut the recipe in half (kind of, I only used half gallon of water and one pound split peas then used full recipe veggies and ham) and I also added celery. I had purchased a ham steak just for this soup. I was SO pleased with how this turned out.

[@rosiogutierrez4608]

[@TheWolfePit]

+thegoatman62 Mine too Mark! Thanks for watching!!

[@anniefannycharles9951]

Really like this recipe. Only thing I did different was I sauteed the onions, carrots, ham cubes,and minced garlic first, giving it a richer, roasted flavor. Then I added them to the boiling peas. Near the end I took your advice and added some half and half. This soup turned out so good, I couldn't believe it. One of the reasons why is because I haven't made split pea soup with ham in over 40 years. Your recipe was presented so well that it gave me the confidence to give it a try again.

[@JohnT_72]

This will be dinner tonight. Thank you for posting, sir.

[@TheWolfePit]

Was fantastic. I did edit slightly by carmelizing onions first, and I also boiled wiht a smoked ham hock. Will make again for sure.

One of my all time favorite dishes. Over her in the Netherlands it's often labeled to as 'Snert". Recipe isn't too different, though we usually also add celery, diced potatoes and sausage. Ultimate bad weather food.

[@TheWolfePit]

The potatoes and sausage sound like a great addition! 'Snert' doesn't sound too appetizing though!! LOL Thanks for watching!

Looks delicious! We don't eat pork, but I will try chicken or beef to see which tastes best. Thank you for making this so easy! I like how you let it sit for 1 hour after a quick boil! It was my mother's favorite soup. Perfect timing for this winter storm. Appreciate it!

This was a favorite Lenten recipe in my family, but I’ve never prepared it, so I’m trying this one today. I have a ham hock because I love the flavor, and I have some ham that I will use as well. I remember Mom mashing the peas, but your recipe has them getting mushy all on their own.Thanks.!

[@bmstoddard]

I sweat leeks and celery instead of onion for a new twist. I like how you added bay leaf. It takes an hour for ham hock to soften and impart flavor. I add a bit of sour cream on top just before serving. Hearty and healthy

[@sandiemaldonado2861]

Making this right now. So nice and easy. Hope it turns out as good as yours looks.

Fantastic recipe! Made this several times already, creamy & thick. Substituted turkey sausage for ham & used seasoned salt for a little extra zing. Then I served it over pasta or rice. And I have eaten it with some crusty bread too

Sir, I made your soup and added two smoked pork neckbones. The smokey neckbones added a slot of flavor but destroyed the nice green color. Despite that, I'd do it again! I ate two bowls of soup and realized I was really darn full. I wobbled off to bed and the soup must have cured and expanded in my stomach. I was considering calling an ambulance if it got much worse. I was sort of scared because I realized the soup would probably clog the stomach pumping machine. Its been 3 hours and I'm still darn full ... its maybe the most delicious thing I've ever had. Thank you! When I do it again, I'm going to use smoked sausage with some kind of smoked pork bone.

I make a sour-cream hush-puppy flavored corn bread as an accompaniment. Your favorite corn bread recipe with diced onion mixed in the batter and cook as usual. I use about two cups corn meal mix, a 14 1/2 ounce can of cream-style corn, an 8-ounce carton of sour cream (with the whey) two jumbo eggs, 1/4 cup corn oil (but only if I don't have bacon drippings),. large diced onion, mix well and bake at 450 in a seasoned preheated cast iron skillet for 30 to 45 minutes 'til the color is right (you'll know it when you see it). Goes perfectly with any soup or stew.
