Today’s receipt originates from A new system of domestic cookery (1806). It was labeled as being a soup for the poor. Soups like this could have been prepared for the servants of a house or dispersed out to the needy at soup kitchens or the back gates of wealthy homes. My Instagram: Thank you everyone for your kindness & patience. .

And it was healthy!!!!
I love soup in Winter
I make close to this receipt about once a month…for years. A bay leaf, lots of black pepper, some onion, 1/2 to 3/4 # smoked ham cubed, carrots, a ham hock, and 3 qt. chicken stock. Slow cook for 6-8 hrs. This soup is best made the day before and refrigerated over night. This allows the split peas to "bloom" and make a thick and rich soup. Serve with crusty bread. Feeds 6-8.
How in the world did she bake bread and get carrots done in 30 min?????
I love this channel
I would be so afraid of the long skirts so close to the fire. The soup looks delicious.
Ma’am the cross contamination on that board wtf
This looks delicious!
I remember seeing some variation of this from Mrs Crocombe. I love seeing the differences~
this food may be classed as poor man's food but its very healthy and nourishing ,
the workhouses never got food even half this good, they had to eat gruel , or a whole boiled onion for meal moast days .
i would love to live like this for a few months, i bet the food taste amazing ,
Looks pretty good to me!
Please post the recipie.
Green/split pea soup, according to some old books I read, was usually made based either on the broth made from ham leftovers, including bone, or from pigs hocks. I make it with smoked hocks as American ham is too sweet, for my taste.
I hate soup! All my life, it's been nothing but thin gruel and empty promises!
My grandmother made what she called "slop soup" basically just whatever was in the pantry and some deer meat or ground beef. Usually a tomato juice base. And also the big pots of brown/pinto beans with cornbread and ramps on the side. I miss her. She cut her teeth on depression meals and wore flour sack dresses I even got to see one of them. It had blue cornflower on it. She also knew how to make poor man's coffee out of chicory and dirt. Yep. Dirt. Had precious minerals in it for starving folk is what she said.
in dutch, we called it snert. peasoup.
One spoon of salt..No spices like black & Brown poor people…l think that soup tasted bland no flavour…water soup…
its funny cuz I make this type of soup at least once a week…..oh wait…im poor…..still good though!
