Please keep this video up forever! I have referred to it every time I've made pea soup for about the last 10 years. Everyone loves it and when we buy a ham every one is excited because it means this pea soup is coming!! Thanks for the great recipe and demonstration. 😁
I've made this a half a dozen times at least over the last few years...turns out great every time, couldn't be easier, awesome recipe...I add a potato or two...
Mind blown. Best Pea soup ever. Word of caution don’t share it with friends you’ll be making it every week. It also freezes well. Thanks for keeping it simple!
My mom made the best. She kept all her recipes in her head. When she passed I thought I would never eat good pea soup again...but this looks so much like it....Yum, Thank you!!!!
When my Grandma passed and we were cleaning out her home I went for the recipe box and discovered no amounts written just ingredients. Was then I lamented not helping her in the kitchen. (MEN DON'T DO THAT ( IN HER HOUSE AS GUESTS) ANYWAY). But you continue trying and eventually you get damn close. The constant is no one beats her cooking because that makes her irrelevant in a funny way and your ethereal energy knows best. GIVE IT THE LOVE
My mouth dropped open in such shock when he said "i'm not going to put that in, I just did it for flavoring" Shame on you!, cut up the ham and throw it back in! lol deeeeeelicious
i have found that if your soups are a little ''''thin'''' after cooking, the best way to thicken the soup ( besides a tater masher) up is to add a cup of INSTANT POTATOES to the mix..........really thickens up the soup and doesn't change the flavor or texture, the taters dissolve in the soup for the thickening process...................just saying...................works good on all soups.................
You don't need nasty instant potatoes!! Add extra peas to the cooker and then mash it. Actually if you do mash this a bit, it does thicken. Especially if you let it sit a little bit
@@HTMLguruLady2 Of course you don't "need," instant potatoes. Just like you don't "need" to use your suggestion. However, some people may find this more applicable. Instant potatoes are, you know, instant and if you are in a hurry it is one of the quicker ways to get it on the table.
I made it today New Years Eve, split pea instead of black eye peas, to break tradition after all, we are leaving 2020 behind us! It came out Awesome, thanks for your recipe.
I've been making split pea and ham hock soup for nearly thirty years and I've tried all kinds of recipes. The way I make it is to just cover the ham hocks with spring water or well water in a crock pot and cook them for eight hours on medium heat. Then take them out of the water and put them on a plate and get out all the ham and bones (because the ham and bones give the soup a bitter off-taste). Then cut up the skin and cartilage into bite sized pieces and put them back in the crock pot. Then add the split peas and let the soup cook for several hours, stirring occasionally. I add a teaspoon of black pepper and usually about a teaspoon of salt, or maybe a half teaspoon of salt, depending on how salty the ham hocks are (salt to taste in other words). Then turn off the crock pot and let the soup cool to room temperature. Then put the pot in the refrigerator over night. The next day put the pot back in the heater and set the temperature to medium heat and cook it until it starts to liquefy a bit, and stir in about two cups of spring water or well water. Stir the soup every now and then until it is fully hot and everything is mixed in and all the peas are gotten off the bottom and are dissolved. Don't use the high heat setting because it will give the soup and off-flavor. This recipe is the best one I've found. I think if you add onions and other spices it covers up the taste of the peas (the peas have a special unique taste all by themselves). All you need is ham hocks, split peas, salt and pepper. I like to use ham hocks that are lighter in color because the ones that are smoked to a dark color don't taste as good, to me that is. Plus I'd rather use three small ones than two big ones because the small ones taste better, to me that is. Plus sometimes the small ones only take six hours to cook in the crock pot vs eight hours for the big ones. If you leave them in the crock pot over eight hours some of the flavor of the bones and ham will leach into the water and will give the soup a bitter off-taste.
I made this recipe once before. I'm making again, I think it's the best recipe ever ! Better than any other Split Pea Soup I've ever had ! all my friends and family agree ! 👍
Made this today and was very pleased , so nice to be able to just throw it in the slow cooker and walk away , tastes great , thank you for this easy recipe !
The ingredients are spot on for a wonderful slit pea soup. I can’t wait to make it. I must add that the peas should be rinsed throughly to get rid of bad peas and pebbles. I prefer to soak mine ahead cooking them. It makes them more tender. That said, you have an excellent recipe!❤️
I am new to your channel and really enjoyed this episode! My husband asked for split pea soup when she noticed our left over ham bone from thanksgiving. I needed a recipe and I am a slow cooker freak! Thanks for sharing, you are really good at what to do. You are fun to watch!
This is great thank you! As a former texas roadhouse employee I have to say- you should not melt the butter all the way when applying to the croutons it makes them soggy. Well theres a lot of specific steps but that's most important. You want the butter blobby and a little runny but not liquidy.
I like to blast the ham hocks in the Instant Pot then use that ham liquid, pull off the meat and make the soup pretty much like you did. It’s just easier for me to make sure no bug fatty pieces get in, which grosses me out. This looks great and I am going to make it today!
I like to leave the carrots whole, then pull them, and the hocks out, and blend the rest. Then I dice up the carrots and ham, and add them back in. I blended it once with the carrots in there, and it looked like baby crap. I learned my lesson. Sometimes, I add a can of peas and carrots, just for some added texture. Split Pea is a favorite of mine as well
Hi Jack, You make me want to rush out and get some split peas, and ham hocks,well done. I usually do frozen peas and mint soup, with spring oions. However will certaily be giving this a go. Many thanks,
Exactly . And also you’re suppose to rinse the peas, and by the time this has cooked for for hours you should be no need to mash the peas. And like you said if they don’t eat pork and want the same flavour use a smoked turkey leg! :)
Instead of a potato masher, my wife uses an immersion blender. It's pretty much the only thing we use that device for, but it does a great job of making the soup an even consistency. Of course we remove the meat before this and then add it back in after the soup has been blended.
Hey jack. Am making it right now, can't wait. One tip. Split peas should be washed (or maybe you can buy m per washed) they loose a lot of nasty tasting starch when you wash them. Thanks for a great recipe!
Hi Jack, thank you for the recipe. I will be making this here shortly. I was going to do chili again this weekend BUT I'm not😄. Jack I'm not a fan of mashed the peas because I love textures so I'm glad you opted not to do that in the end. See you didn't need the masher after all lol. thanks again! God bless PS this is my first time ever making pea soup but I can't mess up this one...layer it and forget I for 5 hrs😀ya y!
At about 7 minutes I like to take half out, mash or whip it then add the unwhipped for multiple textures. Also can keep separately for reheat day. No matter. Once you whip you can't go back. Also cool my soup with frozen sweet peas and enjoy it faster. No mouth burn Hoss. I can't leave it to cool neither without wanting a taste NOW.
I have made split pea soup a few times. Love it. Looked through the peas (my poor teeth) and never found a pebble. That scares me more than finding a pebble. What if on my planet pebbles are green??
I'm going to make this. All I have to do is buy the peas and ham hock (which I WILL add to the soup). If you soaked the peas first wouldn't that eliminate the need to mash the peas?
He is probably lucking out on the salt. I would leave the salt for last as the stock is salty and the ham can leach a LOT of salt into the soup. Also, a pinch of cumin is essential and makes this twice as good with no effort...really, twice as good.
yeah, add the salt later, it tends to weaken if it blends in with the veggies anyway, adding it later makes it come out more, so helps for a low-sodium diet
Sooo goood... Sooo easy... This should be considered a "lazy man"! By the way I used boneless already fat trimmed chicken breast and it was just a dish fit for a last supper. I felt like it was my last supper, so I stayed up all night looking at my front door completely paranoid because I feared someone was going to come to my house and take me to my death. ( I don't mean to offend, I just wanted to make a joke because this was really good!).

“I’m not going use the ham hocks” seriously, what the heck, that’s the best part of the split pea and ham soup!
Mew got that right
Use ham SHANK meaty
I actually use one or two smoked pork neckbones and a third of a ham steak. Neckbones are cheaper than ham hocks or shanks but they work just as well.
This is a "don't do as I do" cooking video by Jack 😂😂😂
Still amazing 11 years later!
Unbelievable - best pea soup ever - thanks so much
Love Love Love this recipe. It is the best Peas soup I have ever made. Keep those recipes coing.
My mouth dropped open in such shock when he said "i'm not going to put that in, I just did it for flavoring" Shame on you!, cut up the ham and throw it back in! lol deeeeeelicious
Right that's the whole flavor of that soup Is the Smoked pork etc.
Oh boy tryed your soup yesterday,i have a few pea soup ecipes they are nov gone in the garbage this is a forever fo my family,THANK YOU SO MUCH.😊

Better to use a hand blender.
Another thing you could do, is if you dehydrate veggies and make into a powder, you could add that.
I've made this like 4 times now. This is for sure the most delicious split pea I've ever had
I made it today New Years Eve, split pea instead of black eye peas, to break tradition after all, we are leaving 2020 behind us! It came out Awesome, thanks for your recipe.

I have always rinsed and soaked mine as well. I’m trusting the process
Thank you for this recipe. I loved it ! It was so easy and tasted so good!!
My pleasure 😊
I'm here to make sure I don't make the same mistakes...a certain 🦆🦆 got me here with his commentary 😂😂
Just started the slow cooker. Followed the recipe exactly! I hope it’s good! Can’t wait
This turned out crazy good.
I’ve never had to mash my peas. They always turn soft.
An immersian stick Blender works great for mashing up the soup after it is done also etc thanks for sharing etc.
I am new to your channel and really enjoyed this episode! My husband asked for split pea soup when she noticed our left over ham bone from thanksgiving. I needed a recipe and I am a slow cooker freak! Thanks for sharing, you are really good at what to do. You are fun to watch!
OMG, Bless your house and family 👍😊 I did the recipe tonight for dinner and wow Delicious my first crock pot split pea soup Ever 😋 Thank you
I don't like pea soup very much, but I decided to make this, just to see how it is. It's delicious! Thank you for this recipe.
I found Ham Base at Smart & Final, and have been using that in my Split Pea Soup ever since. Good stuff.
This is great thank you! As a former texas roadhouse employee I have to say- you should not melt the butter all the way when applying to the croutons it makes them soggy. Well theres a lot of specific steps but that's most important. You want the butter blobby and a little runny but not liquidy.
Thanks for the info!

Great Recipe!! Enjoyed and saving the video for next time too
Adding a few potatoes very nice Also can use lentils the samwe way .
I made it for dinner tonight and we all loved it. It was delicious, thank you.
Glad you liked it!!
I think it's the best and easiest recipe out there 💪👏
I love split pea soup with a lot of ham!
can we have more slow cooker soups for winter please. Thank you
Jack, it looks really good, thank you
Bro that’s Awesome!!
Can’t wait to make mine.
Thank You!!

This looks delicious!
Cant wait to make it. I like to put a piece of gouda cheese on top and eat it like French onion soup. Yum.
Made this yesterday. OMG so delicious! Will definitely make this again!
You forgot to score your hamhocks! Ham Hocks need to be scored...score score score your hamhocks! ;) Nice video!
Why Score./ You can not notice it scored after all of those Hours being cooked etc.?
Rickie McNicolls scoring means to cut lines on the meat
Scoring ham hocks creates more surface area more surface area means more flavors from the ham hock can Leach into the soup.
The ham hock makes its own stock. No need to add chicken broth. Never the less, lovely soup :)
marie Savino it’s chick ham hock stock....
Exactly . And also you’re suppose to rinse the peas, and by the time this has cooked for for hours you should be no need to mash the peas.
And like you said if they don’t eat pork and want the same flavour use a smoked turkey leg! :)
Your Portuguese?
I love the colors in this video. Those bowls from Wal-mart are a must have in the kitchen. Thanks for sharing the recipe. :-)
"I got everything I own at Wal-Mart, 'cept for my wife and my cow"
Hi you can tie bay leaf with twine
Then it won't get lost. Thanks Jennifer 🤩

Right the bags say wash it they may contain Stones in them
Hey jack. Am making it right now, can't wait. One tip. Split peas should be washed (or maybe you can buy m per washed) they loose a lot of nasty tasting starch when you wash them. Thanks for a great recipe!
What if I dont have a slow cooker? All I have is an old Revere Ware Dutch oven, so can I do it the same way?
Looks delicious and making it slow cooking really blends the flavors ...looks great !
smoked pork ribs give split pea soup a fantastic taste!
Really? I think I’m gonna try it🤗
that is the next thing I am buying. Probably buy it this week. Give me two weeks to get it reviewed and posted.
I used this and it was really good. Family loved it
I like your video...especially your bloopers at the end. Funny!
This looks great.
Plzzzzz never stop making these videos!
So glad you made this! I love split pea soup but have been afraid to make it.
I've never tried adding croutons. I will try soup this way. Looks great!
Very good.
I add hormel salted pork, smoke ham hocks and leftover spiral cut ham and no added salt as these proteins are salty. Sometimes I add bacon lardons.
Hi Jack, thank you for the recipe. I will be making this here shortly. I was going to do chili again this weekend BUT I'm not😄. Jack I'm not a fan of mashed the peas because I love textures so I'm glad you opted not to do that in the end. See you didn't need the masher after all lol. thanks again! God bless PS this is my first time ever making pea soup but I can't mess up this one...layer it and forget I for 5 hrs😀ya y!
Hiq i bought these ham hocks do they need to be cleaned before put in???
Another great recipe. Thanks!
By the way, I finally ordered your sauce after following you on TH-cam for so long. It is truly amazing!
Awesome 👍😊 thanks Jack I'm a New subscriber Happy New year 🎉
I've made this several times I think it's the best recipe ever ! I 👏👍💪💖
Watching at 2020. Looks 😋 yummy
At about 7 minutes I like to take half out, mash or whip it then add the unwhipped for multiple textures. Also can keep separately for reheat day. No matter. Once you whip you can't go back. Also cool my soup with frozen sweet peas and enjoy it faster. No mouth burn Hoss. I can't leave it to cool neither without wanting a taste NOW.
Looks awesome. I haven't seen a Cooking With Jack video in a long time but this came up in my suggestions.
I’ve always used the yellow split peas. What is the difference, besides the color? Just curious!
This is my kids fav kind of soup . This is dinner tonight . Mom win
very smart. thank you so much. I will try that next time
did you ever find the bay leaf?
I have never mashed my peas. They will cook down on their own. I also haven’t made it in a crockpot. Thanks for the recipe.
I have made split pea soup a few times. Love it. Looked through the peas (my poor teeth) and never found a pebble. That scares me more than finding a pebble. What if on my planet pebbles are green??
Definitely going to try this one day, thanks Jack
Looks delish
I soak and drain dried split peas.
Have seen recipes for split pea soup with seaweed. Might be good option for vegetarians.
Split pea soup is my favorite soup.
Great Recipe !
I agree, I always use beef or chicken broth when the recipe calls for water...
Also, I think its best with water. The peas come through and the ham seasons the water.
Anyway great recipe thanks.
Me too
Trying this tonight i couldn't resist.
I'm going to make this. All I have to do is buy the peas and ham hock (which I WILL add to the soup). If you soaked the peas first wouldn't that eliminate the need to mash the peas?
reminds me of grandma's soup, 55 years ago, thanks dude, but you put more time into your croutons than the soup.
Naaw yum that looks soo good!!
Green peas can be sweeter, but I also prefer yellow - they’re more savoury
I am making this! Looks so tasty!
the split peas I use are yellow, do the green ones taste the same?
They are called Smoked Ham Hogs & they make a great flavored Pea Soup
Smoked Pork Butt, Is what Iuse Very tasty Meat etc Thanks for sharing etc.
I add in some diced Red Potatoes to my Pea Soup Great taste and when mashing it up it tends to thicken up the Soup also etc.
You should use a Blender Stick.? Only about $10.00 bucks @ Wally world,? Or other Stores etc.? They work great for blending right into the pot's etc.?
Those are awesome. I recommend blending it all up before adding the ham back in.
I'm going to make this!!!!!!!
OMG this is the best and the easiest split pea ever!!!!
Can you use spruce needles /twigs as a spice in this recipe as well ?
Rosemary.
Oh man this looks so good. Jack man, you've got to learn to wait and not burn yourself.
If I see another Meadowland split ad before your videos I might just turn crazy
Wow, now that looks good.
He is probably lucking out on the salt. I would leave the salt for last as the stock is salty and the ham can leach a LOT of salt into the soup. Also, a pinch of cumin is essential and makes this twice as good with no effort...really, twice as good.
yeah, add the salt later, it tends to weaken if it blends in with the veggies anyway,
adding it later makes it come out more, so helps for a low-sodium diet
Jake when the hell is the souce comeing to stores
Sooo goood... Sooo easy... This should be considered a "lazy man"!
By the way I used boneless already fat trimmed chicken breast and it was just a dish fit for a last supper. I felt like it was my last supper, so I stayed up all night looking at my front door completely paranoid because I feared someone was going to come to my house and take me to my death. ( I don't mean to offend, I just wanted to make a joke because this was really good!).
Squeeze a pinch of lime or lemon juice in it, and the wow factor goes up!
Does not need salt and water is fine.The ham hocks give sufficient flavour and plenty salt.
