It's winter in Australia, this means soup time for all of us who grew up in the U.K. 😍😎👏👏👏👍Nothing beats trying to seperate your cooked hock while it's still scalding hot 😣😯😳🤕🤣😁
Hi Cheryl. I made this soup today. This is the soup that my granny used to make. She had 18 children and this soup was their staple diet. She used to make it on her very old cooker, in a tin bath of all things. Whenever her soup got a bit low, she'd chuck in more veggies and water. Occasionally the local butcher would drop by with a ham bone. Im currently home, sitting in my lounge relaxing (that doesn't happen very often) enjoying the trip down memory lane. Have a good weekend mm⁸⁸
Brilliant, you cook the kind of proper real food I was brought up on, I have regretted never asking my Mam for her recipes before she passed away, she never really followed lists she, like you, just knew how to cook. And it's only easy if you know how. Am so glad I've found your channel keep up the great work, and I see your even a fellow biker, fab Triumph Rocket. Alex.
@Doug Anger: It's 8/15/20 & we're having a bit of a heat wave here in So Cal, but I'm already burning pumpkin/spice scented candles & thinking autumn. Granted, our "autumn" is subtle but it's still my favorite time of year. Life is good when there's a soup pot on the stove, the aroma of bread in the oven, and making homemade sausage.
I use ham hough, no potatoes, leeks carrot onion lentils and a full packet of ham cubes It always sells out in restaurants I work in old classics are the best
Thank you for this recipe. I'm originally from Jamaica but my mother (half-Scots) use to make this soup. She used purple-top turnips and/or chocho (chayote) along with everything else you used but she didn't know the name of the soup...just lentil soup. She also used thyme instead of parsley. Apparently she got the recipe form her mother who got it from her mother etc lol. Anyway, this brought back a lot of great memories. I could almost smell and taste it. I need to make this soon....very very soon!!!! Thank you again :-)
My Father's mother came from Bell's Hill Scotland. One of 10 . Her and her younger brother survived to come to America. Massachusetts She lived 100 yrs passed away a few years ago one tough lady .
Oh my goodness this is delicious....I added some thin egg noodles a couple of minutes before serving & wow I'll be making this again & again. Thank you for this wonderful video & greetings from Adelaide in South Australia.
i was raised in a Scottish household and know most recipes off by heart, i love watching your cooking, and its a great reminder to refresh my old brain how to do meals i wasn't sure of, thank you for keeping it real, and i love all you cook. im off to make scotch broth in the slow cooker, and then tomorrow scones, and sausage casserole
Thank you for all of your Recipes Cheryl. My parents emigrated from Clydebank to Canada when I was young. All of your recipes are what I grew up on. Recently I moved to Nova Scotia Canada and I cant get tattie scones, sliced sausage, black pudding, and scotch pies, so I’ve been on the hunt for all of my favourite recipes. I’ve been making them for my family who has missed these treats too. I have made this soup all of my life. It was a staple in the winter in our house. Thanks so much. I so look forward to your videos.
Well many thanks for a great video! And boy did this take me back to my childhood as my mother made this soup frequently. The family left Scotland many years ago but you've taken me straight back, some of the nicest people in the world. I shall be making this soup very soon. xx
I've just joined your Channel I Love your accent and I am so going to try this Scrumptious Soup recipe. Its Winter here in Australia now so it should go down well. Keep up the AWESOME Recipies and Channel. Much Love from Australia 🇦🇺❤🇦🇺❤🇦🇺❤🇦🇺❤🇦🇺❤🇦🇺❤ Stay Safe and Well
Wonderful? This is almost exactly my nans recipe she used the yellow split peas though and the ham end. So many memories of coming in to a hot bowl of this on Sunday afternoon and eating it with either plain loaf and butter or a well fired roll and butter. God bless my nan!
I'm in the US and I've been eating this exact soup my whole life lol. I had no idea it's Scottish. My entire family makes it. I just assumed it was something my grandmother made up lol.
My late mother (of Scottish Descent) used to make this type of soup with split peas instead of lentils, and just the ham hough stock no other additional stock. Growing up, that was my favourite soup.
My mother was born in Glasgow. I love watching you, reminds me of my moms cooking. I'm here in the USA and we have been going to a Scottish bakery called Ackroyds. I love meat pies & black pudding. One day with your meat pie recipe I will finally be able to do it. 😊
Made this soup today. Put the ham houghs in the crock pot overnight. Did the veggies and broths this morning and had it simmering away while I did my appointments. Had a wee taste and it's great. Can't wait for tomorrow as it'll taste even better the next day. Many thanks for sharing the recipe. Carole in Colorado (originally from Edinburgh).
Hi Cheryl I made this soup this morning and it's one of my best efforts yet!Keeping warm during a Qld winter isn't a hardship but this winning recipe makes it easier. Thanks
I love this soup, I usually soak my ham hock overnight as they tend to be a bit salty. I'm like you I love soup anytime and salad anytime too. Enjoy your trip Cheryl :)
You just answered my question. I have only cooked a gammon joint in a slow cooker, but as I didn’t soak it, the water was horrifically salty, so had to be discarded.
@@yvonnemiles7633 Oh no, what a shame you had to throw it away or do you just mean the water and not the gammon joint? At least you know now and hopefully next time you'll have a lovely broth, it'll be worth the effort :)
We had the best time in Scotland few years ago. Would love to go back again. I love Scottish people! You all are so friendly with the great sense of humor. I love your recipes Cheryl! They are so simple & I feel like I am back in Scotland. And your voice is so calming. I put you on the other day when I was cleaning. I felt so serene. :-D :-D :-D Thank you for what you do! Love your channel!
Definitely best made with the ham shank (tee hee hee), I’d add more lentils though so the spoon stands up in it, stick to your ribs stuff. Looks great Cheryl. Want soup now.
I have those seasoning shakers, because I have a salt cave for my cooking salt, I use my shakers for ground white and black pepper to use for cooking. They're so cute. And I love this soup, I make a lot of soups over winter in my 6.5ltr slow cooker, and they always last a few days. The best comfort food!
Nice bike ! Yer recipes are spot on I’ve struggled hard to get proper Scottish food I will be trying out a few of them , thank you so much for sharing with us
Thank you so much Cheryl ive been thinking of a soup today and I've a gammon shank in fridge, that bike is awesome hope your having a fantastic time xx
We love Ham and Lentil soup here in England as well Cheryl - Sometimes I do just Lentil and veg version without the ham and add curry powder, and take a bit pot over to my Dad who is a vegetarian. He is 90 now so not quite so able as he used to be.
My favourite soup. The way my mum always made it and I do now it was always a lot thicker than yours. We only really put carrots and onions and sometimes celery. You're so right always tastes so much better the day after.
That looks delicious...I think it would be good with some nice crusty bread for dipping. I would also add turnip and parsnip...the more root veggies in my soup, the better. YUM!! 😋😋
Made this tonight, absolutely wonderful. Can’t wait for Lunch time tomorrow. I blitzed the veggies before adding the lentils as I don’t normally like them, so this is a great way to get me to eat them 😁
This looks so yummy. I’ve got to give it a try. I love soups especially ones that freeze well so I can pull it out after a long day of work for a nice hot bowl of soup before bedtime.
Lovely soup I could eat soup summer and winter. Lovely bike in the film too is that your bike. My hubbys a bike man but he's not a road biker he's does scrambling done it since he was a lad that wasn't yesterdsy. Now races for the Scottish classic team, been to a few places abroad I went to Germany one year and loved it. Not much happening this year covid had seen to that. X
Thank you for sharing a family recipe, I appreciate it a great deal. It looks delicious btw and I'll definitely try it sometime, soon hopefully. Lol . I hope you had wonderful vacation and stay safe.
I just joined your Patreon, wish it could be for more, it will show as foreverHollywood. I watch your videos when i am having anxiety attacks because your voice is soothing and i'm a foodie. Half Scott in decent as well!
Almost the same way i make this.The young should be watching this in these times of the lock down,so thay can feed thair family with good wholsome food.
Oooohhhhh delicious! I think I'll definitely give that a try! It's winter here in NZ so last weekend I made my what's-left-in-the-vege-drawer soup which was a big hit.
Looks so good I could almost smell it. I try to get some smoked rib bones when I see some at the supermarket. I don’t see them very often so when I do I pop some into the freezer. I add a piece around the size of your hand to the pot, it adds a lot of flavour into so many soups and bean dishes. Yum 😀🐝
@Peggy C: I've never seen smoked rib bones in the market...but I DO ad a bit of smoked paprika to the soup pot when making lentil soup......and I like to stick 1-2 whole cloves into the piece of ham. (remove before serving)
gina wiggles that sounds yum, I’ll give it a try. The smoked ham bones are quite seasonal here, they are random bones in the deli section. I just ask for the rib pieces specifically. One good size piece gives a ton of flavour, so I freeze a few for later 🙂🐝
@@peggycearnach8034 : I think SOUP (and crusty bread) is the perfect meal. I love making stock & always have some in the freezer so it's handy if the weather gets even SLIGHTLY chilly. :)
Hello from Cape Town. I was taught to make Dutch pea soup by my father, using exactly the same ingredients except for the lentils, which are replaced by split peas. I decided to try this recipe and it turned out really well. Thanks for giving me this great alternative!
