Canada! Habitant soup was my fovourite split pea soup, right up until my parents moved us to California. When I know someone will head to Canada, I give them money to buy that and Harry Horne custard. Yummy.

“Habitant”, French Canadian, it’s what they call split pea soup … love this going to do up a ham hock soon so I’m going to make split pea soup with the meat I take off that…. I cook my split peas in ham stock 😊 It’s soup season!!! (To clarify: Habitant literally = inhabitant, habitant soup = split pea soup).

I made & canned 14 qts split pea ham soup yesterday. TY Leisa 👍. Kitchen cleaned up, LG soup pot & utensils washed, jars washed & ready for shelves. Tiny kitchen but I work around myself lol 😂. Think I will make up a song like Tiny Bubbles 🤣🤣🤣. 🎵 🎶 Happy canning makes me feel fine. I think about preparedness all the time. Happy canning makes me feel fine ♥️😂👍 🎵🎶 Happy canning makes me feel fine ♥️😀👍🎵🎶 🤣🤣🤣 Ur laugh for today

I always love making recipes at home that way you control the ingredients ie; salt/pepper etc.. More healthy than store canned.

i love split pea soup ---my mom made it with a ham bone so there was still some ham in there--what is funny about it is she hated the soup but she still made it for my dad and us!!:)

I had to pause at 13:30 to order 200 lids. Thanks for the pointer! I've canned pea soup (and bean, potato with ham, beef vegetable, chili...) and it's wonderful to have on the shelf. Take it easy, Leisa, and rest. You are appreciated.

Enjoyed your video,Soup looks very good. My husband loved pea soup. Unfortunately, I lost him in Jan 2021, and I have not canned since. Don't have family, and at 74 it isn't much fun canning for yourself.Just lost the incentive after losing him, but still have canned meats that I did before he passed. I did go on and buy some extra ForJar lids a short while ago just to have on hand in case I want to can later. You never know, so wanted to have them on hand. Thank you for telling us about them, or I would not have known. I don't often comment, but enjoy your channel very much.

So glad that you are back. Please do not overdo, like I just heard that you did. I ordered the Forjars lids and am so excited to be getting them. I am ordering more! I made your beef stew. Hurrah! And it is good. Split pea soup is on the list to do. Shelves are getting a bit bare on our island in SE Alaska, so stocking up for the winter. Take care and I am learning so much from you.

That soup looks great! I think I would be more inclined to boil down a bone from a picnic ham and use some of that meat for the soup, too. But, that's just the way my Dad always did it when he made pea soup. It's been a very long time since I made pea soup, so I might just have to put that on my "to do" list for soups in the near future! Thanks for the memories, Leisa!

Split pea soup is one of my favorites. Many times I make a broth with a ham bone and then cook the peas and veggies without meat. Delicious. Today I ordered more Forjar lids!

Time to make the soup! Since being diagnosed with a wheat allergy I’ve had to learn to make my own convenience foods and this is one of my favorites

I LOVE split pea soup. A real comfort food from my childhood. I also placed my 3rd order of forsjars lids. Have used 400. I order 200 each time. I have only had 1 buckle. Operator error!! I love these lids. Thanks for this video Leisa.

Leisa, I have been canning all day and watching Canuary videos waiting on the canner. Last batch was your split pea with ham soup. I had one jar that did not seal (my error, I'm sure) so I had some of it. OMG It was awesome!!! I tried someone else's bean with bacon but had to dump the broth and start over because the seasoning she used do not suit our tastes. But your cooking is the bomb! I need a bigger canner cause I just started canning and am using a Carey, which I love, but for this soup, I need to make a batch the size of yours!!! It was THAT good! Thank you! I think I will stick with your soup recipes to stock my pantry. You let the real flavor of the food shine through. This will be a staple. Next canning session, I will do 4 batches of this soup alone!!!! Oh, and you are not the only one who gets excited hearing those jars pop! LOL

This soup is so lovely! I'm rather odd about equal distribution of meat throughout the jars. Since I make the soup with ham hock broth I've experimented w/ putting the diced ham equally in each jar, then adding the soup to each jar.

Split pea soup is one of my absolute favorite's! I had no idea I could use ham already packaged! What a blessing! Thank you!!

I hope you heal quickly remember don't over do it.

You are very good at teaching canning! I love split pea soup, I will try this soon! Thank you for sharing!!

I’m the only one in the family that likes split pea soup. So, I’m making this for me! (And maybe I’ll give a jar to my sister and da for Christmas. Lol). I placed a For Jars order. The delivery will be delayed because of the hurricane. The company is located right where the eye of the hurricane hit between Tampa and Ft. Meyers. I’m hoping all is well with them.

I love this soup, so therefore I need to.make this, yes indeedy

WOW can't keep Leisa down. Your canning already, just amazing. Be careful so glad you have Phil to help.

I love pea soup (in our house, it's PEASE PORRIDGE. LOL!) I make it and can thick.

You are my canning guru. Absolutely love your no nonsense delivery and funny sayings. I know I will always get the straight up way to do anything needed without a lot of extra fluff. Never made split pea soup before but this will have to try. Husband can be the guinea pig. haha

I love pea soup I’m the only one that’ll eat it though, so if I make a batch I put it in smaller jars just for me

I love Split pea soup and usually make a small crock pot full for me and freeze it. I am so glad I found your recipe here because I have zero room in my freezers and am looking forward to getting these beauties on my shelf. Thank you again for giving us great recipes we can feel confident in putting up on our shelves!

Glad you're feeling ok. You make things I like, thanks lady. You have a good man in Phil, compliments what you do.

Ok! I will take my ham off the bone and make broth to can my soup. Tks!!! Love your vedios!!!

Can't wait to can up a bunch of split pea soup! Canned 5 quarts of chicken this evening. Probably try this soup tomorrow. Rest and take care!

Looks soooo good!

I managed to slip an order in for lids. I'm so glad I watched your video tonight instead of tomorrow nite! I couldn't get the larger quantity packs but I ordered more of the smaller amount packs. A savings is a savings. With what I saved with your discount I can buy more ham guilt free. Haha, like I would feel guilty about split pea soup. Thank you.

This looks amazing! Great to have you on your feet!

One of my favorites. Thanks for sharing!

I agree with the rings being a tool. I also want to say please take care of yourself. It’s hard for workers not to work. Ask me how I know.🫣 But I am about the same age as you and I have learned if I’ll rest my body after surgery and do all the “things”, the end result is sooo much better. Your loyal subscribers aren’t going anywhere. We truly do want you well and healthy. 👩‍🌾🙏💙

Looks soooo good 👍

I see Phil put the hot jars on a cold cookie sheet, I wd b afraid jars wd crack. I always use a towel underneath the jars. I like the wooden rack on ur counter 😀. Love ur tutorial canning videos; learn much frm U😀♥️👍

Sounds so yummy

I made 24 pints of this a year. We love this recipe.

That’s awesome. Glad you are feeling better

I will definitely be making this to can. Thank you.

Beautiful soup

Thank you Leisa.

Now you made me want to make this, I love this soup

Prayers and hugs for you and husband. Looking forward to making this. God bless.

Love split pea soup, thank you! Hopefully you heal fast.

YUM! Starting mine tomorrow!

I can’t believe I mused this !yummy😊

I’m making this today!!! So excited to have this in the self this winter. Sending good wishes your way!

OH MY GOODNESS, YEP! Mine came out of the canner looking exactly like yours! WHEW!!

Yeah, Leisa!! Thank you, Phil for helping your favorite girl!!!💖

Phil, thank you for helping. Leisa, Split pea soup looks wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

Hi, Leisa! I'm a newcomer here and realize you might already have the answer to your question. After reading a number of comments, I didn't see that answer come up. Habitant Peas Soup is a French Canadian recipe which is made with yellow split peas and I'm fairly sure a good amount of garlic (probably powder or granulated). I'm reasonably certain this is the only difference from your split pea soup recipe. Your site is awesome!

I always come back to the REBEL of canning, I love me some split pea soup!

Liesa I love the split pea soup and I will be using my dehydrated carrots and onions in my next canning Thank you for sharing

Thank you so much for this vlog. I have a favourite moroccan red lentil carrot soup which I look forward to using this method with. There isn’t any meat, but the red lentils, carrots, onions and spices are similar.

Thk u I love pea soup

Split pea soup is one of the best! I canned some a few years ago. I think I need more. LOL

One of my favorites is green sp!it pea soup. Thank you so much for the recipe. Wonderful addition to my pantry. I love ham chunks in mine.

Tonight I made my first soup well stew beef so excited it turned out great thanks to your video ❤

Welcome back😊

Used my Forjars today...held up better than one of my jars...BTW... I found out what cloudy water is... apple butter.. gonna be a fun cleanup

I am glad you said that about it ending up so think. Mine is just like that and made me wonder if I had screwed it up. Keep feeling better!

Glad to see you back after surg...1st thing I canned was split pea soup and it did turn out like cement!! Ty for this video...very helpful!!

Hope you’re feeling better!

So glad your up to canning after surgery Hugs

I was thinking about split pea soup 😊

I add a bit of powdered clove and non iodized salt turns out wonderful

Oh so good. We ate it all. Got to make more to jar. I think I should at least double it.

Leisa it just occurred to me (and my lightening-fast mind) to see why the name 'Habitant Soup' after that recipe name. I've wondered for years, haha. Turns out Habitant was a soup brand from 1918 on so I'm guessing that split pea soup must have been nicknamed Habitant due to that association. It is time for me to make another batch of this but I'll do half-pint jars, hubby didn't care for it because the peas came out too soft for his liking. Who likes Al Dente pea soup? Apparently, only him. Isn't this recipe mind boggling with the density that comes out of the canner? And they say we can't safely can pumpkin butter?! Oh well, I understand. But honestly...their recipe produces 'pea sludge' in the jars yet perfectly safe, yay! I just can't believe you were canning so soon after major surgery. ::Not Worthy!:: Now would you grab your knitting and settle into a recliner for Pete's Sake?! Love you!

I’ve never eaten Split Pea Soup, but it looks really good! I may try to can a batch! Thanks fir sharing.

I make pea soup all the time but freeze it all the time never though of canning it I will from now on thank your very much hope you feel better soon

I just went and took ham hocks out of the freezer. Amazing that you have crunchy grass already in the mornings. It's going to be 80° in Seattle at the beginning of November! Shocking.

You are amazing!

You go girl you're doing this after your surgery wow👍🤯

Another great video! Be making it this weekend!! I better stop watching your videos your making work!! 🤣 No all good!! Thank you for sharing!!

Oooooo...I want to eat it all up!

Habitat is a brand of pea soup sold here in Canada

I’ve dehydrated huge amount of leeks. In Ireland potato’s are compulsory (😂) So thick potato and leek soup is my comfort food If I had a huge amount of jars I would do this however the jars are extremely expensive here, so I only use them for meat.

Well, know what I will be canning next week.

How did you keep the extra jars warm while the canner does it’s magic? Thank you for sharing that you can pressure can split pea soup with ham. On my to do list

I have 1 jar left. I also need to make (36+ more jars). It is so good!! ❤

I love adding grated cheese and croutons to mine that's my salt added as well.

Thank you for your video. Sorry to hear you've been under the weather. Feel MUCH better soon eh? I love the way you cook. "THERE!" you say as the onions get tossed. Oh, oh, I canned the Ham. All the time, ... I just treat it as a processed meat and add liquid to the jar of cut up Ham along with a tsp of Onion Soup mix. It hasn't killed me yet. It's the Ham bone I use to make my split pea soup. I'll leave lots of meat on the bone and simmer it for a couple of days with onions, carrots and some celery, if I have it. BTW, it's now a terrible time finding Split Peas around these parts. I haven't seen them in stock for months and the dried bean section is shrinking every month. It's freaking crazy. I thought I found Yellow Split Peas in the International section of the store so I grabbed a couple of big bags and read on the label when I got home I had bought Split Yellow Chick Peas, .. lol, .. I bet they'll work just as good too. Back to the soup. After fishing out the fallen apart bones, I'll strain the stock for lumps of meat and whatnot, (don't you love that meaty whatnot?) and set it somewhere cool to harden any fat for easy removal. After sanctifying the soup stock in such a manner I desecrate it by adding more water and the Split Yellow Peas, more onion, and salt and pepper to taste, to be cooked for an hour or more making sure to add lots of meat and whatnot. Only time can tell with a good soup. When I believe the Peas are soft enough I jar the crap up and pressure can it for the time it takes to process the meat with 10 lbs pressure here at sea level. I couldn't believe how thick it got. I have to add a pint of water to a pint of soup when I open it in order to turn it back into soupy soup. Sum good too. BTW, I'm not "sold" on those ForJar lids "yet" just because they use a food grade silicone. As far as I'm concerned, there's no such thing as food grade poison. I guess I've worked with too much silicone around water tanks on boats and understand how easy it leeches into water to ever believe it could be safe. We never allowed silicone to come into contact with the drinking water. Waste water? no problem, ... but never potable water. If they used a natural rubber like the original old time lids were made with, I'd be impressed. Pass that on to the Boss of "ForJars". AND! Remember, pain is your bodies way of telling you to stop doing what you're doing. Are you listening? Now I'm not one to tell anyone "not to push it", .. so I won't. Be good, be safe, .. and have a great one!

I can my leftover ham every time we have ham for a meal. So far so good.

Don't know why the title mentioned canning with a specific brand of lid. Canning is canning. Lids are lids, only difference is in price. Must be some promotional compensation in there somewhere. Not knocking, just stating. Love your channel. Probably the best knowledge available right here.

Brilliant! This will save so much of my freezer space. Can I use my canned carrots?

my forjar lids are brilliant well worth the delivery to the uk ☺️

Yummy

Your canning mat also inspired me to make me one. Since my son also cans with me I made one that says, " KERRy on my wayward Son there'll be 🎵Pings🎵 when you are done" ... I wish I could send u a picture of it but idk how. ... ❤️

Ironic! I got very brave this morning and took out my Christmas ham bones and basically made a huge stock pot full of split pea soup and basically along the lines from the ball canning book like yours. I just got mine out of the canner and they look different than I had expected, so of course I am hoping I didn't take too many liberties in how I canned it. That is why I got on here to Google it...of course u saved the day for me. U veered off the recipe about as much as I did. I soaked the peas last night and used ham bones...and used bay leaves and all spice. There is about 1/3 of liquid on top, bottom is the peas and veggies. Please warn me or reprimand me if I crossed the line 😁👍👍

Yumm.

We would love to have you do a video on switching from the gage to the weighted regulator . I have done it but I’m nervous to be sure it’s working .

Leisa, I've had more lid failures than ever this year! I am restocking with ForJars lids BUT I'd like to know if there is a way to use my remaining lids (mostly wide-mouth) that is more likely to be successful. For example, do you think recipes with shorter processing times, or steam canning versus pressure canning? It's a lot of lids to save just for vacuum sealing my dry goods so I'd like to use them if I can. I'm so glad you're back! Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who gets distracted and lets their pots boil over. I have a really nice old hot plate from the 1930's that must have not been used much, as the ceramic part of the heating element looked nice and white and new. Of course my pan boiled over, and the nice white ceramic is not dark gray and burned looking. Oh well. I liked your recipe. You didn't salt and pepper this or put in any garlic? No other herbs? No chicken or ham broth instead of water? Ok you addressed the salt and pepper part.

Hi Leisa. Happy New Years!! I'm new to your channel and loving it. I was wondering what you do with the jars that are waiting to go into the canner when your first batch is processing. Do you keep them on the counter? I want to make this but I will run into the same problem and don't want to mess it up. I also want to thank you for mentioning using the ham bone. I was wondering that when I first started watching this video. I have had a ham bone in the freezer waiting for me to make this soup and now that it's New Years Eve I will have a 2nd ham bone to replace the first one.... Or I just might have to keep canning the soup. I hope you are well and have a blessed holiday

Looks good, but take care of yourself!!!! Don't overdo, ya want to heal all the way.

Hi Leisa long time no see. Hope you are on the mend. Love from the UK

We don’t like split pea soup ( it’s a texture thing ) lol. But I like your videos and teaching so much, I watched anyway! Hope your well soon 💜🙏🏻

I love peas so I am excited to try this soup but I might add half chicken stock half water but no ham thank you for shareing 🙂

Good morning, thank you for sharing. I recently canned pea soup. It thickened up after letting them seal, I was worried about over cooking it with my processing times at 90 min 15#. I'm not sure if you remember me, you gave me such an encouragement i canned 7 qtr of water when I first purchased my presto canner. I come so far since then. I canned chili beans, ground beef, mutton stew corn, raw mix vegetable -carrots, celery, onions, green n red bell peppers and apple filling, roasted NM Hatch green chili, garlic onion red potatoes. And water bath can salsa, diced n whole tomatoes, apple, pears, peaches. I continue to have trouble with my tightening tenchen on my lids going into my canner. Usually have some siphoning issue on some of my finish products however my lids seal. But usually the liquid content is less than when I stared with. Because siphoning occurring I let my canner sit longer to depressurize more and do the same with my water bath canner as well. In addition, I'm always in need of canning lids both small and wide mouth. Thank you for sharing, you have helped me out with improving home economics skills to better my family life. Take care and prayers for your recovery. I too am going through cancer treatment and recovery at this time. God bless. rhaleyduBoise

@sutton daze… this looks great. Do you think I could can this using canned ham? Thank you♥️

Wishing you a fast recovery
