Pea and Ham Soup | I burnt it, can it be saved? 

Aww Stacey, that's not burnt. We call that 'caramellised' in our house, lol. I bought bacon bones yesterday and I put in grated carrot, swede, turnip and potato and chopped onion. No pressure cooker here, just a pot on the stove. Yummo. A reminder to never salt your dried pea mixture until it's cooked. Otherwise they never soften.

oh bacon bones … i thought … mmm she has had enough of those piggies in her garden patch 🌱🐷🌱

Hi dear Stacey. This is why I love your Channel! You share your challenges and frustrations. I love watching everything you show us. Love from Pukekohe! ❤❤❤

I always soak my split peas with a teaspoon of bicarb overnight, I also add onion, carrots and garlic and use the ham & bones from the freezer left over from our baked Christmas ham, great winter soup everyone in the family looks forward to it 🦘

Stacey, I made a much better job than you did in burning soup!! 😀 Instead of brown stuck on the base, mine was black! The burnt taste had gone right through, so it was dumped. I was so looking forward to it! When my boys were all at home, when bacon hocks were so cheap, compared to now, that was a favorite for us all. I owned the same crockpot from 1988 till 3 yrs ago. The cord was getting dangerously frayed, so I retired it. Had loved walking in from work each day, knowing that dinner was ready. Hope the onions do well Stacy. 👩‍🌾 👩‍💻Yes, this cold snap is a doozy. Friends down near Oxford/Cusp, got heavy snow 3 days ago. So looking forward to spring. Driving about yesterday and seeing the poor wee newborn lambs snuggling up to their Mums trying to get warm nearly had me teary. Dear wee mites.🐑🐑 Thank you for all of your hard work each video Stacey. Much appreciated here. 🤗 💌

We all LOVE a #TRANSPARENT Queen LMAO! And I love soup ANYTIME, even when it's 104 degrees here in Texas! Love & BIG HUGS to you & Husband

Back on RU-vid Stacey. So pleased it's sorted. Your videos are splendid.

Anyone who’s ever cooked long-term short term new to the craft whatever, has done this exact same thing. What I appreciate with you is that you didn’t hide it. We’re all gonna do it probably more than once and be mad and frustrated, but you just have to salvage what you can and move on. I appreciate you showing that. Split peas and ham are the best.

Pea and ham. Such a classic soup. Don't know anyone who doesn't love it.

Looks delicious. Crusty bread and butter. ❤

definitely that type of weather for a nice healthy soup, cant wait to try

I love that you're a regular kiwi home cook and gardener. None of that perfect trad housewife stuff. It makes you so easy to relate to and its comforting like hanging out with a friend. P.S. Well done saving the soup!

Love ham and pea soup .Good tip to use grated potato to thicken . Really enjoy your videos thank you .😊

My dear old Dad always made this when I was a child. There’d be a massive pot on the stove and it would be heated up whenever we wanted some. Forget food hygiene in those days!! Lovely memories though

We have a long list of favourite soups and pea and ham is right up there. We have soup for dinner at least once a week in the cooler months, with crusty bread, it's so satisfying and warming. Enjoy your lunch!

Stacey I felt your pain re the soup. You can still return it as under the CGA a product should be fit for purpose and you’ve had issues with slow cooking and pressure cooking. Cooking the soup for a second time wouldn’t make a difference. And nobody can call you an inexperienced cook. It hasn’t met your expectations and you’re entitled to a refund. It wasn’t a cheap Kmart multi cooker. Good luck. xx

Pea and ham is my favourite soup. I love it with a bit of texture - chunky carrots and bits of ham. We usually freeze our Christmas ham bone with a good bit of the meat left on, just for an autumn batch of soup. Other times I buy smoked ham hocks which give a great flavour. We are about to have pasta bake and salad for dinner - now I wish we were having pea and ham soup with crusty bread 😊

Hi Stacey, love love love split pea soup. When I make it in the instant pot, other than onions celery and carrots, it calls for 2 cups split peas and 6 to 8 cups chicken broth with a high pressure cook 18 minutes with a natural release. What I have been doing play the last few years is pressure canning it using the recipe in the Ball book of canning. Hang in there, don't get frustrated.

Sadly here in Australia 🇦🇺 ham hocks and/ or bones have shot up in price. My all time favourite soup is yellow split pea and ham soup, yummy. I grate my carrots and onion. My secret ingredient is one grated potato 😂 a few of my friends could never replicate the texture of my soup and all loved it, I never used measurements or garlic, just chucked in pot by eye and always turned out great. Isn't it strange that lots of men don't consider soup as a meal? Soup and crusty bread or tosst yum, I could eat it most nights👍🇦🇺💜

Hello Stacey, I have used a traditional pressure cooker for Years, the instant pot gave me a challenge! I learn something new every time I use it. LOVE your videos.

Mum's pea and ham soup with basically fried bread. Childhood fave. The smell of the hock cooking, not so much ❤ still watching for tips n tricks 😁

People who say "x is not a meal", just means that its not a complete meal. With some good hearty bread a nice thick soup can be just the ticket, particularly on a cold day. I can understand that a thin watery soup might not be enough for most people. But a nice, thick, hearty soup with bread? Delish!

I love those little soup pkts, thanks for the extra tips

Never tried this soup but looks yummy . I thought it was made with garden pea so never fancied it 😂 learn something new every day they say 😂 x

Stacey, I also enjoy soup and hubby is not keen on split pea. I pressure can it for instant meals. Split pea would not be the best choice for the instant pot as you made it. I would have put the bacon bones in with water to make stock for about an hour, pulled out the bones and added peas, onion etc and preassure cook on low 10 min. Let pressure come down on its' own and then simmered or slow cooked it, if any additional cooking was needed. Simmer gets quite hot and will require stirring often. Starch on the bottom will burn easy. When I put a roast in, iI put onion on bottom, browned roast carrots arount roast and taters on top. Hope this helps, there is a learning curve with them! I do love my electric pressure cookers.

Stacey, your soup looks very tasty, I only made Pea and Ham soup yesterday. I cook mine on the top of the stove in a large stock pot, I had a large Ham hock in the freezer which I used along with yellow split peas.I also add lots of carrot, parsnip, turnip, onion celery, potato and green peas, just the thing on these cold winter days. It is so good seeing how someone makes theirs, thank you for sharing.

I make this every winter. It’s my favourite

Hi Stacey, love your honesty, we've all been there, re burnt soup😅. I love making soup and enjoy eating it too😊. Am going to plant out my onion seedlings today, hope you have a good strike rate with your seeds, have a nice day😊

I really dont mind a couple burnt bits. I've had the same thing happen on the Stovetop when i haven't stirred enough. I bet your house smells delicious. So comforting. Thankyou. 🌹🍵✌️

1 love pea soup...use yellow split peas and cook on rhe stove...ham bone carrots onions chicken stock garlic...yum Looking for how to make your garlic pucks Probably should have continued cooking on stove top 😊

That soup looks like a delicious 😋

I have to be honest ..i have made many different soups over the years, but never pea n ham. I am going to have to look at making it.. i wilk try not to burn it. Cant guarantee it but i shall try not to. I love your apron. I love all your aprons..but that one i really love.. keep smiling xxx

I have a Baccarat Multi cooker The only time I burnt anything was when I didn’t follow the recommendation You have to have liquids without the thickeners I think yours burnt because you added more peas , the extra half n hour meant the first lot of peas were cooked and thick as they do and settle on the bottom When cooking, just do all peas at once with veg and celery and ham hock My multi cook on pressure would only be 30 minutes I turn off power and let it sit, then after ten minutes open valve , no awkward amount of steam comes out , and then take off lid If it needs more, then ten minutes on Vegetable pressure and done like a dogs dinner 😅 Hope that helps , you will Love 💗 your pressure cooker if you know not to let things that congeal sit on the bottom 😊🇦🇺🌸

Love pea and ham soup, but husband is the same here, soup isn’t a meal but I think it’s a great lunch on a cold day. Thanks for the tip about grating potato to thicken, makes sense!👍🌏

I'm not a fan of ham and pea but I've picked up those same bones and used them for vegetable/lentil soups which have turned out quite nice! Haven't heard the tip about the grated potato, will have to remember that one and give it a go.

Hi Stacey ❤

I’ve always used instant potatoes to thicken soups, broths and even gravies. I have to remember grating a potato will do the trick as well 😊…. It’s still Summer here in the U.S. 🥵🤢😕….I can’t wait for the weather to turn and Soup & Stew Season is upon us…. Ham & Pea….Mushroom…. Chicken Noodle….Lentil & Sausage… I could live on Soup alone!

I just LOVE my Crock Pot Express. It's become permanently on the bench. I fully recommend. The pressure cooking is outstanding. FYI those burny bits don't look so bad . Bet you get a perfect soup you legend! ❤

I make bacon hock soup, pretty much the same as your good self, 'cept, along with the meat, onion, garlic and soup mixes, "I throw in" 2 - 3 thickly sliced potatoes, (right from the offset), add 4 beef oxo cubes, a generous splash of Lee and Perrins, then, after slow cooking for 6 hours, place freshly made dumplins, (like my Ol' Mum used to make, back in the late 50s and 60s. Bless 'er) on the surface, replace the lid, then cook for another 30 minutes. Thickens more, and tastes even better, the following day. Enjoying your content.

Always make it wirh the ham bones I always buy bone in hams and save the bones. Boil them up to get the remaining meat off and make the stock. Deneat the bones and remove them but add the meat back in. Then I put in the split peas and onions etc. Great wY to use the ham bones.

yumo looks so good

I put chopped onion, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaf & thyme when I make pea & ham soup, also, use ham hock instead of bacon bones. But, I'm going to try it with bacon bones next time.

I was so many years old when I realised that the kings soup was actually a whole meal, we love the country chicken,. Sometimes we add extra veges but other times we don’t and it’s still a nice soup

To add a positive I par boiled some potatoes and froze them for roasting. I had some on Monday night, in the airfryer for 30 mins. Perfect so thank you. I would never have thought of it. Lol you have totally put me off buying an Instapot for my daughter in law as a present.

I love your seed containers ❤

Hello. Mama loves split pea soup. I made a batch at the end of the year and put it in the freezer for her.

I always use the Kings pea and ham soup mix, it’s great. I add some bacon or bacon bones and always add celery,onion and grated carrot just like mum did. I eat heaps of it during the winter. Sometimes I also add orange lentils, pearl barley and yellow split peas. Thanks for the tip of using grated potato to thicken.

Ive never had pea and ham soup, I will try it one day, mind you with the weather we are having at the moment prob the ideal time would be now, 🤤🤤. that was a disappointment the soup burnt 😢

I don’t like garlic in my pea and ham soup I like the pressure cooker way Ive tried to use left over frozen Christmas Ham off the bone, but find it gets really salty after freezing Looks yum 😋 thank you

autumn is coming and I love a good soup , especially pea and ham soup. Thanks for the tip with the grated patatoe , i will try the next time. Hugs from france

Looks good

Always hated pea and ham soup growing up, would not eat it at all. Made one year for my husband and mother who both love it but I used yellow split peas instead. Fell in love with it, now love it. This Aussie really enjoying your channel 😊

I make this for my husband using the King mix but if not available I like you just use the green split peas. I also add onion & garlic. I myself don't like this particular soup so I resort to Soup in a cup or home made Pumpkin.

My husband is the same, soup is not a meal. I love homemade soup, I always make a big pot and freeze it in lunch size portions for myself. So good with homemade bread or buns. I am making a pot of borsht soup tomorrow. Yum.

Hi Stacey! I use garlic and carrots with no onion. I also add bay leaves. Yummy!

Thanks

Mmmm I can imagine how your soup smells and tastes. Thanks for the potato tip.

Yum 😋 I remember my dad would make this and stir through leftover mashed potatoes to thicken it sometimes.

Love Pea n Ham soup usually grab a bacon hock and put Kings soup mix in same with onions and some cubed potatoe - In the slow cooker over night - the smell in the morning is amazing It turns out lovely and thick? - A favourite Iam loving your videos

I do remember if you need to use split peas you need to soak for few hrs and rinse threw

Split Pea soup made with a ham bone freezes beautifully

❤ this is my favourite soup after Tomato. My kids hate when I make soup, they think the same as your hubby. But I make a lot of toasted sandwiches with it too, still not enough for them 😅 But pea and ham does give me the pop off's though.😂 Oh no! So frustrating for you!!! How awful. 😪 17:22

I'm sorry your soup burnt. I hate when I do that because I hate wasting. I love pea soup with bacon. Looks delicious.

I make pea and ham often, using a crock pot, ham hock and split peas, onion and grated carrot. Never tried with grated potato.

😊😊 saved most of soup at least. 😊😊

Yum Manuka smoked!!! Delicious ❤

I can’t cook food that has a thick gravy like consistency in my Ninja Foodie. I do love it for many other foods though.

Good evening from Missouri. That little char on the bottom look bad at all

That’s not burnt Stacey that is browned. I have burnt it and the base of the saucepan will have a half inch of solid black stuck food. Love my Pea and Ham soup thick and chunky like a stew.

I have the cheap anko pressure cooker and while it doesn't have flash features I use and abuse it and it's been cranking along for years...I am going to measure it up and get a stainless liner off amazon one daywhen I remember

I would get in touch and try get it returned, you not happy with it dont put up with it, it has a guarantee suerly make up a faultand dont accept a replacement also i like to use yellow split peas nicer colour soup 🥴 Lizzie🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

The rain is so soothing. I’m about to fall asleep anyway, i may not make it!!!

used to love split pea and ham soup but since i got my colostomy i cant eat it never done it in an instant pot just my pressure cooker

Try s bit of vinegar

I got an instant pot a couple of years ago. I have tried to use it quite a few times. Never worked for me, I always ended up using my trusty old slow cooker. I tried doing chili in the instant pot, on top of the stove and in the oven. It always burned. So out comes my favorite, the slow cooker. I can't understand why everyone loves the instant pot. I HATE THE DAMN THING!! It's just a big waste of my time.

What would you recommend sowing at this time? For a good crop this spring/summer?

I burn bean soup couple of times in my life and it smells and tastes horrible.

if you dont want potato in it but u still want it thick should i just add less water than u did?

Oh gosh im no good for advice i cant make pea and ham soup to save myself its easy but i always burn it my mother in law shes great at it Frozen peas , onion and diced ham and cream i think and water shes tried to teach me but yep im a lost cause 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Shame about your soup! It looked nice and hearty though! Would hubby eat soup with a toasted sandwich or pizza scrolls, or even a pie afterwards? What does mutton taste like? Is it gamey?

i can't stand burning good food 😭

I would still take it back for a refund because it's not doing what you want to use it for

Good afternoon from aucks ...

I was so many years old when I realised that the kings soup was actually a whole meal, we love the country chicken,. Sometimes we add extra veges but other times we don’t and it’s still a nice soup
