I am sitting in my chair with a huge bowl of popcorn and beverages, waiting for the movie to begin. When you are ready Kevin, please start the projector. Looking forward to all the boxes being ticked again. Cheers.

Hello Kevin, As I have mentioned before, you sure know how to "keep 'em keen." Looking forward to your next creative filmmaking gift. Thank you and cheers, "Gent of the Canals."

I just love how people feel the need to ask about your personal life, current medical status etc. Just keep doing what you do Kevin and don't respond to the weirdos. Totally making this soup BTW...I love a proper ham hock though...very cheap from the butcher! All the best bonny lad!

I've been watching you since you first appeared on Amazon. Your videos have been a huge salve for my anxiety-ridden brain. I just want to say how much I particularly enjoy your cooking segments. I live in an American sized home with an American sized kitchen, BUT the interior designer was clearly not a cook, because there is a serious lack of functional worksurface or cupboard space. Hence, I have very limited cooking equipment and can't cook anything that requires a lot of "faff". Your recipes are perfect! You do such a great job of showing what culinary tastiness you can achieve in a real situation. Thank you for providing such quality content. I'll be a fan whether you're cruising or cooking or camping. Take care from Ohio - where sadly our canals are all but forgotten.💓

I think we need a Country House Gent cookbook now. Another great video Kevin thanks so much for sharing!

Enjoyed the non-frenetic activity, as usual for three years now. Good to see you and Aslan going well.

+10 points for having Dr Phlox in the background! Soup looks very good! Cheers, Bob & Jill

We in the Texas call it "Split Pea Range Soup" with a twist, we use beaf instead of ham and sprinkle bacon on top with cheese.

Well done Kevin, it looks delicious. Its weird but I can not eat soup in hot weather, however there is not much better than hot soup on a cold winter day.

My sincerest Condolences for you at the loss of such a great lady HM Queen ELIZABETH II. I hope you are well. Missing you and your dry humor. 🙂🙂🙂

The questions you are asked 🤷‍♂️ I enjoyed your drone shots a while back and wouldn’t mind seeing some more of your beautiful countryside 👍

Hi Kevin! Here in the Southern US, split pea soup is a fav!! Looks delish!

Kevin, Condolences from Arizona, on the passing of your Queen. I am so sorry for your loss and for your Country. So glad to see and hear that you are well!

Looking forward to more travel videos to get through the gloomy days.

just thoroughly enjoy watching your cooking episodes, Kevin...I find them calming and pleasant, find myself trying to imagine what the end product tastes like, probably quite good --

From Texas - we love your travels! We miss you.

KEVIN, I GOT TO SAY AGAIN WHAT A GREAT SERVICE YOU DO FOR ME. IT'S LIKE SOME SORT OF MAGIC BUT EVERY TIME I GET TO WATCH YOUR NEWEST VID IT COMES AT THE PERFECT TIME FOR ME. IT IS INSTANT RELAXATION FOR ME, WHEN I HEAR YOUR VOICE OR ASLAN'S GENTLE CHUG-CHUG I CAN FEEL THE DECOMPRESSING INSIDE OF ME. THANK YOU GOOD SIR!

Kudos to Kevin for a guy who cooks.

I always marvel at how efficiently you use your prep space. I’m in SoCal. Going to make pea soup on the first cool day here. My pea soup is my Dutch greatgrandmother’s recipe. For the meat I add sliced breakfast sausages. My kids called them sausage pennies.

Very compact environment. Love it.

Lovely! This just popped up on my feed two months later?.. just planning to make black bean and pork soup. Having our first really cold snap here in the mountains. Love the antique boat! Saw some Celluloid Beads hanging, from the 1930’s! Have fun!

miss you!! watch every week for something new .....love the pea and ham soup!!

Frankly I love the Enterprise screen saver!!! You look great Kevin.

Nothing like a proper pea and ham soup❤️. My husband can't stand peas!... which means more for me👍.

Missed this when it first aired but I'm catching up. We have an RV and the kitchen isn't much bigger than yours. Adapt & overcome 😉 Thanks for a great recipe, wish I could smell it. Additionally, sincere condolences on the loss of your Queen. What a grand lady she was, I've never seen more dedication in any leader anywhere. A loss felt by the entire world.

Excellent...a video I missed. A Friday evening fix while I wait for the next season.

It's nice to see this current time update on your cooking!

greetings from the beautiful Arizona mountains (USA) enjoying the episodes , thanks

I love your cooking videos! Thanks for doing these.

Lovely. Whatever floats your boat. Keep on trucking. Best wishes Stu

Your cooking videos have added so many good meals to our home! Many thanks, Kevin. I hope a cookbook is in the works. And thanks for continuing these videos.

Looks fantastic.

You're an excellent cook! Today's recipe was simple and looks delicious!

Nice one, Kevin! That soup made me drool here 🙂I love that people care so much about you that they ask about your health and well-being. Just shows what an impact you have on us, your followers. All the best!

watching Star Trek and enjoying your meal ;) looks like our house lol

Another excellent recipe. Thank you for sharing.

I certainly enjoyed your latest cooking segment, thank you!

I really enjoy your cooking videos.

Hi Kevin! Enjoying your cooking videos! This soup looks yummy!!

Wonderful ... can almost taste it!

Looks lovely 😊

As always it’s a pleasure visiting with you whether your cooking or riding the canels with Aslan.

Great job. Looked delicious! 👍👍👍👊😎

A very delicious looking dish! Kevin, you are the quintessential chef !!!!!

Great minds think alike… I also use a kettle for boiling water. Keep up the great work and stay safe on your travels my friend

I very much enjoy your videos. That looks like a grand recipe, thank you!

Your soup looks wonderful! I would never have thought about the addition of mint-how refreshing! Your explanation about the kettle for boiling water was hilarious. I did wonder a bit at the time, but now it makes perfect sense. We love you and your videos

Nice one Kevin, thank you..................

I just made a batch of this soup Kevin and it is a delight! Very nice for an Autumn afternoon....just wonderful!

Top video thank you 😊

And I have the same insertion blender! Excellent!

So glad you’re back.

Good afternoon Kevin. Watched this episode while having my turkey sandwich for lunch.....now I'm wishing for a good hearty soup! Your recipes look wonderful. I need to get cooking! You look well and happy! Wishing you all the best!

Looks delicious and easy, which I like!

Thanks Kevin. Loved the video. Off to the shop we go. Keep well.

That’s a great trick with the paper. I’ll have to try that.

love it! thanks, Kevin.

HI Kevin good to see you again. Soup looks easy to make and delicious. Thanks for sharing. Thinking now that fall is here you'll be traveling soon. Looking forward to that. Best wishes, D

This was so very interesting. I love your explanation about using the kettle instead of boiling water in the pan. Brilliant! Also, so very much better tasting and better for you to limit the salt. I've never seen stock in a container like that before. I always learn so much from your vlogs. Thank you very much.

I was taught to make pea soup with dried peas. Your version looks so colorful. I have saved your video so that I can make it myself! 🌻

Looks delicious, must try some 😋

Yum, that pea and ham soup looked delicious 😋 Sour dough bread toasted with garlic power sooo delicious...Store bought soup has tons of salt...Homemade is much better...yummy Thank you!! Your looking good😃

Love the t-shirt, the soup looks delicious. I’ve just been catching up on some of your latest videos. ❤️

Excellent job as usual Kev! Loving the cooking vids! Thank you! Ps…loving the Enterprise vibes!

Hi Kevin, crusty bread yum is the best with soup🥰. Thank you for the new recipe to try. The first time I noticed you using the kettle to boil your water for more than tea, I thought what a great idea. I do that now. I just thought it was a British thing. Have a great week.

Looks delish! Love watching your videos from Verbena, Alabama 🇺🇸

In a winter trip to Amsterdam a couple of years ago a group of us went to a small bar and ordered Erwtensoep, Dutch Ham and Pea soup; talk about belly lining comfort food ! As you said the addition of crusty bread dripping with salted butter was great. Great vlog, regards AJ

Hi Kevin! The mint is a new twist for me, so I will be giving it a go. Cheers!

Another good looking recipe! I think I will try this. I'm also glad you haven't had any health issues. ( I don't know why people ask either, other than they worry about you). Stay safe and fabulous.

Hi Kevin. I love pea and ham soup - your recipe looks delicious. Great video. Regards RickLG

You are looking thin in this video! Hoping you are fine! I’ve missed your videos. Don’t know why. But glad to see you again!

Nice dowm-to-earth (as well as delicious and inexpensive) meal. I'm gonna go make me some ham and pea soup, too.

Brilliant vidio as usual ta kevin

I know what I’m making for dinner now. Very good Kevin.

Hi. Kevin never had pea soup.but it looks nice.And yes i boil the kettle to use in the pan to.so keep doing what you know is best.I also like todo stews in my pressure cooker comes out quite nice and quick todo..keep enjoying what you do.☕☕

Lovely ❤️❤️

Really enjoyed watching you on Amazon Prime with my guy. And we seen all from beginning. Your doing fantastic and hope you are well.🙂🙂

Looks yummy

Loving the cooking videos Kevin and definitely going to try the soup recipe it looked delicious 😋 and before I go we also use the boiling water from the kettle to speed up cooking and make a cuppa of course 😉

Excellent job, Kevin! So enjoyed and in fact, we had split pea and ham soup last nite!

An extra thumbs up for the pure-blooded T-shirt 😁👍

That soup sounds tasty, I also boil the water for pasta in the kettle first for the same you reason you explained, look forward to the next recipe

My new fav is a tortellini soup with fresh spinach. Love your cooking vids kevin!

Love your videos Kevin😎😎

Looks delicious. I love a ham hock……very hard to get these days, might find one baked but not the same. One hock would last me a week. Hot with potatoes and parsley sauce, cold with fried eggs, Spanish omelette, macaroni cheese, ham pasta salad, and sandwiches then soup. Oh I do miss them. The powers that be don’t know from nothing.

Hi Kevin, just watched the episode of when you were attacked, I cried for you, there is some wretched human beings out there. luckily enough there are wonderful one like your good self to make up for it. Friends told me about your series as I am going be buying a river boat, would love a narrowboat maybe when I retire. Keep doing what you're doing 💜

Looks yummy despite the fact that it’s super hot out right now here in So California. But I’ll definitely try this when it gets cooler(minus the mint as I don’t care for it). Love your videos. Always good to see you. Take care❣️

I used to use a ham joint or ham hocks. This takes time because you have to drain the water off to get most of the salt out of the meat. I use green split peas, lentils that don’t need soaking. And I add half a cup of garden peas so you get the soup consistency and the freshness of the garden peas. Nowadays I don’t use a joint of ham or hocks. I use bacon lardons which creates a nice stock throughout the cook process. I add a teaspoon of fresh mint sauce to serve. Super! I’m making barely broth today with lamb but I have to soak my pulses overnight for this and my meat will need cooking for a coupon hours. Haven’t had it for a while. But looking forward to it.

Really enjoying these cooking vlogs, we are healthy eaters and it’s nice to have some new things to try 👍xxxx

I made your recipe soup because you looked like you were enjoying it so much.... I thought you you were putting it on a bit but no.... it was lovely... the wife and me were the same while eating it. The greaseproof paper is an excellent cooking tip/trick. Hope to see more of your adventures soon

An immersion blender is worth it's weight in gold; I call mine a "boat motor" because of it's resemblance to an outboard motor!

im hungry again... ive only just finished eating too! 😂😂😂 (proof of good food!) bril recipie kevin! 😁 nice and easy, nothing unnecessary, just what it is nothing more! (sounds like a marketing quote that!)

Looks delicious...nice work! A favorite of mine...😊 I hope all is well...take care.thnx!!😊

That’s the fastest method of pea soup I’ve ever seen. I always use frozen peas for a meal accompaniment, so I’m going to try this. I’ve made pea soup for many years from soaking dried peas, and cooking with a ham bone. Takes a long time. I have a hand blender, I think I’m ready to follow your lead!! 😊🥣

So healthy....nice one Kev x

Thanks for the explanation Kevin about the kettle and the water, I just may start doing the same thing from now on, why,..because I want to!
