MY BEST RECIPE FOR SPLIT PEA SOUP WITH CHICKEN



My Best Recipe for Split Pea Soup with Chicken image

I have to say, I may never make recipe for split pea soup without chicken again. The shredded chicken adds something beautiful to this soup, a lightly sweet flavor that doesn't compete with the smoke usually provided by the ham hocks. (Though the bacon adds just a hint of smokiness, which is nice.) The texture is spot-on, and honestly, I think this soup recipe is one of the most comforting things I've eaten all year. Definitely a keeper.

Categories     Soup

Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 16

One 3-pound whole chicken (skinned and cut into eight pieces, with back reserved)
1 whole carrot (sliced)
1 whole parsnip (sliced)
1 whole red onion (sliced)
1 stalk of celery
8 cups of water
4 slices of bacon (finely diced)
2 tablespoons butter
1 whole onion (diced)
2 whole carrots (diced)
1 stalk of celery (diced)
8 cups chicken stock
2 cups split peas (rinsed)
1 tablespoon honey
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt (or sea salt)
1/2 cup crème fraîche ((optional))

Steps:

  • In a large soup pot, add all chicken parts, carrot, parsnip, onion, celery, and water. Heat just to a boil and simmer gently, barely bubbling, for 1 hour. Occasionally skim the schmutz off the top.
  • Once the broth is done, strain the stock through cheesecloth into a large pot and set aside. Separate chicken from vegetables and set chicken aside to cool. Discard veggies and wash pot so you can use it to make the soup. Once chicken has cooled, shred and reserve meat. Discard bones.
  • In a large soup pot, fry bacon over medium heat until crispy. Using a slotted spoon, remove bacon from pan, leaving the fat in the pot. Place fried bacon in a bowl, cover, and place in the refrigerator until the soup is done.
  • Add butter to bacon fat, stirring until melted. Add onion and cook just until the onion begin to brown, about 7 minutes. Add remaining vegetables and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add chicken stock, split peas, and shredded chicken, stirring well.
  • Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low, simmering the soup uncovered for 2 to 3 hours, until the peas are soft and the soup is nice and thick. Occasionally scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to prevent burning.
  • Once the soup is done, stir in honey and salt.
  • Serve hot, topped with a sprinkling of fried bacon and a spoonful of crème fraîche.

Provided by Fanny Slater

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups cubed chicken breast (about 12 ounces)
1 teaspoon coarse salt, divided, plus more to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
1 large bell pepper (any color), diced

2 cups dried green split peas, rinsed under cold water
8 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons minced chives

Steps:

  • Season the chicken all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a large Dutch oven, melt the butter with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chicken to a plate.

Return the pureed soup to the pot, stir in the chicken (along with all of its juices from the plate), and cook for 5 more minutes to make sure the chicken is heated and cooked all the way through. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
  • Divide the soup among bowls, garnish with chives, and serve hot.

BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S FRESH PEA SOUP



Barefoot Contessa's Fresh Pea Soup image

Earlier, I had posted Recipe #285307 after watching an episode of Ina Garten's show on the FoodNetwork. Now, I have finally tried the Fresh Pea Soup from that airing and found that I love it, as well. I prepared this with frozen peas, and while the original recipe did call for mint, I didn't have any on hand and omitted it. Pea soup may make some people's heads spin, but this is so good. Pairing with the flavorful Roasted Red Pepper Sandwich would be an incredible meal.

CHICKEN STOCK



Chicken Stock image

Chicken stock has almost endless uses, from soup bases, of course, and gravies to a rich but low fat flavoring for veggies. The stock freezes will in those zipper type freezer bags. After trying homemade stock you will never want the store-bought kind again.

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds chicken
7 cups water
1 large onion, halved
3 stalks celery
3 carrots, cut into 2 inch pieces
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a large pot over high heat. Add water to cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 1 hour.

  • Use the meat for soups, salads, sandwiches, or other dishes where cooked chicken is needed. After stock has been defatted, use or freeze immediately. I freeze the stock in one-cup amounts and use instead of water for cooking rice or vegetables or making gravy.

SIMPLE SPLIT-PEA SOUP



Simple Split-Pea Soup image

The long cooking time and use of homemade chicken broth is what makes this split-pea soup so flavorful. This recipe is the result of much experimentation and years of trying to fix my mom's recipe for split pea soup! Sometimes, instead of simmering this on the stove I'll let it simmer in a Crockpot all day long. Putting some of this soup in a thermos makes the perfect lunch in between classes or at work; you don't even realize you're eating a lot of vegetables and the split peas make it high in fiber. A very nutritious choice!

Provided by GFMaddy

Categories     Onions

Time 4h30m

Yield 10 oz servings, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
3/4 cup chopped celery
3/4 cup chopped carrot
1 cup chopped potato
1 cup finely chopped up ham
1 cup dried split peas
5 cups homemade chicken broth
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Saute onions with olive oil in a large stock pot until translucent on medium heat, which will take about 8 minutes.
  • 2. Add celery, carrots and potato and saute 3-4 more minutes.
  • 3. Pour in chicken broth and add split peas and ham. Uncovered, bring to a boil.
  • 4. Once boiling, cover and turn heat down to low. Let the soup simmer for 3-4 hours. The soup is done when the split peas have broken apart and are evenly mixed throughout the soup.
  • Notes: The longer you cook the soup, the better and more developed the flavor gets--sometimes I'll transfer it to a crock pot and let it simmer in there all day. If you like a smooth soup, blend finished soup with an immersion blender or in a food processor in small batches (large batches will make a mess!) If you like a thicker soup, add a small hand full of split peas to the 1-cup listed.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables to create a flavorful stock. Mirepoix (carrots, celery, and onions) is a classic combination, but you can also add other vegetables like parsnips, turnips, or leeks.
  • Roast the vegetables before adding them to the stockpot. This will help to caramelize the vegetables and add a richer flavor to the stock.
  • Use a good quality chicken. A free-range or organic chicken will have more flavor than a conventionally raised chicken.
  • Simmer the stock for at least 2 hours, or up to 4 hours for a more flavorful stock.
  • Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any solids.
  • Use the stock immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Chicken stock is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, from soups and stews to sauces and gravies. By making your own chicken stock, you can control the quality of the ingredients and the flavor of the stock. With a little time and effort, you can make a delicious and flavorful chicken stock that will elevate your cooking.
