Add Stock to Split Pea Soup

Video Transcript

"I am going to show you today how to make some fabulous Split Pea Soup. Now that we have our mirepoix cooking, we have our celery, carrots, onion, garlic and it's all been browned nicely. We are going to add our stock. Remember you can add water, you can add vegetable stock or chicken stock. I wouldn't recommend beef stock for this recipe. I actually had made stock cubes and I had just put the stock cubes in a pan and heated them up to melt. I have a little over a quart of liquid here. I am going to pour it in slowly and if it is not enough, you can add more stock later. If you want to see how much stock you have to your peas. Let's say I only had that much stock. What do I do? You can add water or you can just make this with water. You don't need to have the stock but it adds a depth of flavor to the soup."
