Video Recipe: Split Pea Soup with Ham

[lekmann]

what makes that stock look so milky/cloudy ? I have never seen this before.

[shakaama]

My roommate, sorry I'm the one trying to be a chef, but I let him cook, tried making split pea soup and even after 3 hours of simmering the peas were hard as rocks. He had even soaked them for 2 days.

It was terrible.

I can blend them right? I see people crush them.

[Wiz4rd9]

Something I see a lot of people do and I do not see a reason for it: Why sweat the onion and carrot in fat, then just add the wet ingredients after, why not skip that step, throw all that shit pardon my french into a pot and let it cook, to me that oil is 200 extra useless calories, as if the carrot and onion won't break down with the peas. And EVOO? Why does everyone insist on cooking with that crap, it should be eaten raw, does everyone like everything they eat to taste like a damn olive?

[dean0101]

@Wiz4rd9 Sweating the vegetables in fat helps to remove the raw flavour from the onion and brings out the sweetness of the vegetables. But if you are worried about extra calories you can always throw everything in together and the vegetable will still become soft. I have to agree with you on the EVOO, why do people want an olive flavour in everything. This soup is a very old English pottage, veg oil or butter would be more appropriate, lard if you want to be old school.

[kjherstin]

Hey this is like the Dutch recipe. I'm glad I can find it in English. Thanks Keith

[erb209]

Right when I said awesome, you said it as well. haha. Very nice, very easy. I'll make it next week. Thanks.

[Ypipable]

(Leftover ham) Best way to make it. I use water and merely mush up a cup of the cooked peas after cooking to blend in...makes it a little more creamy that way.

I like the tea sachet idea for the herbs. I'll try that. Très bien, merci...

[UnaFlorecita]

Check out peasoupstudio. Excellent for you mind and soul.

when something like that annoys you, means probably you are hyper stressed. lol. i mean, its only a word... but oh well... cheers.

[RuneHells]

very nice and simple i think ill try it out

[kunstinflammen]

I'm confused why he's using kosher salt if he's eating ham o.O

[jamesfeenstra]

Kosher salt is used for other reasons other than keeping kosher. The larger grain sizes of kosher mean it has a greater ability to draw moisture out of various foods better than smaller grained table salt.

[desirae247]

my split peas take HOURS to break down, four to five hours...are there different classes of split peas?

[GAtrippe]

Wow, that is VERY simple ! I am wondering if water in place of the broth would ruin it.... That seems a bit rich.

[bagchecks]

Bay leaf is a must!

[Snuilp]

I always add some selleryroot and a leaf of laural to it. Thanks for the oregano and thyme sachet tip btw.

[Jamez122305]

Whats selleryroot? do you mean celery root?

[mano3obe]

how many peas should be used and can do you process them before you cook?

[NomadDad57]

I love split pea soup and have a few different recipes and this one is a keeper. Thank Chef and again a great presentation. You should be on television.

[stephentsang2000]

Well-built but terrible looking by today's standards. Women like man who have streamlined muscles, not elephants like this guy in the vid.

[Jamez122305]

What kind of drugs are you on?

[yesandohdoyoumind]

A nice fall/winter treat! Healthy and tasty!

[fsxking08]

i luv that stuff but i hate peas and my lucky number 7!yay seventh comment!

[doomer79]

Fantastic and great presentation, Thanx!

[SassyTheWhiteMaltese]

How many cups of pees?

[paathimself]

wow, this is a very easy recipe. thanks! what would be a good substitute if there's no left-over ham?

[pasiflorentine]

Any kind of sausage, cut up into small chunks. Smoked sausage is particularly good.

[sapipa177]

[ele12957]
