    I just found your channel and love how you made the soup without the ham hock…..I will omit the bacon and make it vegetarian! I am excited to try it, thank you so much. I am going to subscribe and check out the rest of your channel! BTW…I was born in Germany and came to Canada as a child!!!

    I found on the better than bouillon website that they have ham flavor. I just bought it, but have not used it.
    So instead of using the chicken it may add a deep flavor. Goya also has a spice blend (usually in the section that sell hispanic products) that has a good ham flavor. It comes in a small box with a pig on the package. It does however have MSG in it and we can no longer use it at home (member with allergy to MSG)
    I used to make my beans with it in the past and it was so good.

    I prefer a ham hock but will use bacon if my supermarket doesn't have any ham hocks. And I too add a modest amount of cubed potato. I can't believe how many split pea soup recipes don't include any potato. I also like a bit of heat so will usually add a tiny amount of cayenne pepper (perhaps a quarter teaspoon).

    A lot of people have a hard time getting unsliced bacon to dice, the sliced is problematic in a liquid if you don't like the texture and most don't.
    My favorite is fatty ham from a cured and smoked shoulder, but I'm having a hard time finding that these days which is why I generally just use diced kielbasa. Not the best but it works, you have to remove after frying and add back in so it's flavor remains separate like most cut sausage in a braise.
    Thanks for the video, looking forward to more.
    Edit; The bay leaf is a must for me, but I have to say that I have never used a potato..

    This soup is a staple in our home. And I am also canning the soup. But we always add some "gepökelte" meat such as "Kasler" or "grüne Rippe" too. Can you get that in the US? Greetings from Germany 🙂

    I made your recipe and it is absolutely delicious! Honestly, the best split pea soup that I have had. My husband flipped over it. It also makes a large batch, so there is plenty to share and put in the freezer for another day. Thanks for the recipe. Pam

    I'm getting ready to make this. I've never made split pea soup but we both like it.

    I'm watching the video now. Thank you for linking things in your videos such as printed recipes. I like to print mine off and put them in a binder in page protectors.

    I'll let you know what we think after we eat it!

    I really appreciate you, Anja!

    Thank you for sharing your recipe. It looks delish! We used to live on the Central Coast in California and there was a restaurant in Solvang that was famous for its split pea soup. It was Anderson's Split Pea soup. That is the last time I had split pea soup and that was back in the mid 1990's!!! I am looking forward to making this home cooked version. Pam

    Sounds like a wonderful and delicious soup. I am so glad you didn’t use any prepared broth. Seems like so many people use that now. I am 70 years old and I never ever used canned or premade broths in the past neither did my mother and our soups are always wonderful.

    One of my favorites! We have used ham, sausage, bacon, and even salt pork in ours. I do have to make sure the carrots are bigger chunks because hubby picks them out lol. He likes egg noodles in his too but I do it separately because I don't.
