As it is Winter, and very cold, Lady Braybrooke has asked Mrs Crocombe to make a simple soup for distributing to the poor of the parish. It needs to be tasty as well as filling - after all, "just because one is poor, there is no reason that food should be bad"...

INGREDIENTS
Bacon - 3 rashers, streaky
Butter - 1 tbsp
Onion - x1, large
Carrots - x2
Celery - x2 sticks
Yellow split peas - 300g / 11oz / 1.5 cups
Mint - 2 sprigs
Stock - 2 litres / 4pts, vegetable or meat stock
Salt and pepper, to season
METHOD
Soak the peas overnight in plenty of cold water, then drain. Peel and chop the vegetables, and dice the bacon.
Fry the bacon in butter, and add the vegetables to the pan. Cook for a few minutes and then add the peas and stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for 45 minutes until the peas have ‘split’. Add chopped mint and seasoning to taste, and cook for a further 5 minutes before serving hot.

As always, thanks for watching! We’re glad to see so many of you have enjoyed this episode and intend on trying the recipe at home.
We’ve pulled together answers to some of your FAQs below. For those of you asking about a Mrs Crocombe cookbook, be sure to check out this link: bit.ly/37dkKvJ
WHAT STOCK SHOULD I USE?
Any stock would work well. For a veggie soup, use vegetable stock (and substitute the bacon for something else rich in umami, such as mushrooms). The Victorian kitchen would have had several different grades of stock on hand, from fine white (veal) stock to a general stock made of offcuts of vegetables and spare bones.
WHY WOULD YOU USE MINT IN A SAVOURY DISH?
Mint is a popular accompaniment to peas. It is often put in pea soup, or in peas pudding. You can use other herbs but it gives the soup a very pleasant bite - we suggest you give it a try and let us know what you think.
THAT’S NOT A LOT OF SOUP! SURELY THERE SHOULD BE MORE?
Well spotted. We hate to break the magic but this video was filmed in and around 2020. This soup is a scaled down version, as we didn’t want to make an enormous batch that might be wasted. Besides, in 1881, the number of those in need varied widely. Audley End is surrounded by several small villages and one small town. As such, there was no need to feed everyone.
THE ROYALS WOULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS, WOULD THEY?
They most certainly did. It was an accepted part of how royal food worked, to the point that when Edward VII's coronation was postponed, all the goodies went out to the poor of the parish, who feasted on truffles and foie gras for a few days. You can find out more about this in Dr Annie Gray’s book ‘The Greedy Queen’.
COULD THE POOR AFFORD BACON?
This soup is for the poor, not for the poor to cook i.e. it is being cooked for them. Bacon was one of the cheapest meats around, often the only meat a poor household would see with any regularity. It punched above its weight, adding salt, flavour and fat. If you can't obtain decent bacon for your kitchen we suggest using some gammon ham.

I love that the coronation feast became a feast for those who rarely got to attend feasts of any sort.
Found your channel today and I love the recipes. But this I would add potatoes about halfway through. Makes for a more hearty filling soup. And potatoes are cheap.

@@Pluvillion nice
"Just because one is poor, doesn't mean food should be bad." Bless you, Mrs. Crocombe. I was homeless many years ago and got lucky enough to find work, but have lived in poverty ever since. I learned that beggars should be choosers too, not only the very lucky. Money is not what should determine if one lives or dies, because wealth is entirely based on luck. You can't earn your way into financial stability anymore. At least not here in the United States, where I'm from. It's a financial disaster over here. Anyway, thank you for setting the right example for the world!
I can empathise- the UK is having a *slight* monetary problem at the moment (we left the EU, so food is more expensive, the Queen died so we have to change all the money to remove her face and put the kings' on it, Covid put a lot of people out of work which ruined the economy, Trust then buggered the pound, one factor of the war with Putin is energy and a few other food things like cooking oil are very scarce, the NHS is under extreme pressure so there's no health care), so soaring numbers of the UK are homeless and rely on food banks.
My family's been on benefits since 2005, and all of us work despite multiple disabilities- my dad's going blind due to Diabetes, I've got hEDS, POTS and Sciatica due to Arthritic joints, my mum and sister are both Autistic. Fortunately, none of us are currenlty homeless, a lot haven't been so lucky. It's not enough these days to work and give everything you have to stay afloat, it's simply due to where you're born.
I've been there too - and truthfully, the food in some shelters was less than ... inspired. But then I'd also been eating out of fast food dumpsters, so... In my area, you moved through shelters as you progressed, eventually to a point where, if you got a job you got your own room and could choose to take dinner or not (mostly I chose not, and ate at Arby's but from inside now, lol). Before that though, I vividly remember on volunteer group who would show up once a month and give us real food. Once we had salmon, beautiful fillets, done properly, on the rare side of medium. It was not popular (I'd say it was viewed with suspicion) - but I was in heaven. It reminded me of what I'd used to order and what I might eat again one day. I thanked these folks profusely. Many years later, I'm frugal because it's ingrained, but don't have to be anymore - and right now there's a nice $11 serving in my fridge that will be dinner tonight with a lemon/butter/caper sauce, just the way I like it.
hey hope you’re doing well

“Soup for the poor”
The staff that had to eat this: 👁👄👁
A harsh reminder at the end of the realities of Victorian Britain: if you were old, sick or poor and couldn't work, you starved.
The point is that the indigent were cared for at the local level. This worked, more or less. Parish poor houses, soup kitchens, and this kind of charity helped people to cope.
Families also helped; my father remembers his family taking in an elderly aunt on a rotation basis with other members of the extended family taking their turn as well.
The modern welfare state has largely replaced all of this.
Yeah nothings changed
I mean the dept of work and pensions not as bad as a workhouse but that to more with international standards than any desire of the current UK government!
The work at unsuitable work that then makes you unsuitable for real work still present.

:O

I found the last moments of this video surprisingly touching. Although I’m sure many members of the gentry provided for their servants after they could no longer work, they certainly were under no obligation to do so. Mrs. Crocombe’s unblinking assessment of her possible future reflects the harsh reality back then.
there was the concept of "noblesse oblige"
"they certainly were under no obligation to do so" lmao after exploiting workers, that's the bare minimum these leeches could do
The intro music kicks in and I swear to god I can physically feel a reduction in blood pressure and heart rate as my body just passively destresses.
Oh nice
When you're so poor you can't even afford ingredients for soup for the poor 😭
Right how that gonna work out
Well, this is a soup for the poor to eat, not make.
Well, you only have "BALANCE LIMITED"
LMFAO
I mean, the most expensive thing on the list is bacon. Everything else can be bought for under $5.
"We must always remember that there are no guarantees in life. I have my savings but, one day, I too will grow old and... will be grateful for soup like that."
That honestly made me kinda emotional.
Gui Porto i got teary eyes and like “wait what happened with me”
I'd be offering Mrs Crocombe meals, but I'm afraid they'd be too basic for her to want. :(

She knows; she wasn’t born yesterday, you know.
Correction: she doesn’t stare into your eyes, she stares straight through your SOUL.
When she says "some mint", i always hear "cement". That would certainly make the soup more filling.
Wow I just realized I have been making this soup for the poor for years. I got this recipe from my grandma; but she added corn, potatoes, tomatoes and flour as a thickener to her soup. This soup is delicious and easy to make.

The best thing about soups like this one is that it’s not that much extra work to make a larger batch, and it tastes _at least_ as good re-heated.
"First I'm going to fry the bacon in butter." Oh, so it's a healthy recipe.

I've made this yesterday, but instead of using split peas, I've used green lentils (picket up the wrong packet, the split peas were next to the lentils, so I had to use them instead 🙈).
I've also added garlic, a bit thyme, 2 bay leaves and green onions - and let me tell you: The soup turned out SO SO delicious, that my boyfriend ate less to ensure he can eat a really large portion today! 🤤🤤🤤😂 Thank you for the gorgeous recipe, dear Mrs. Crocombe 🙏🏻 💙
So because the lentils worked out great in this soup, I assume you can swap out any dried legumes to your personal liking 😁
This video hit home. Especially since the pandemic hit. I can appreciate every meal I get and I’m thankful soup is affordable at the store.
“Just because someone is poor, doesn’t mean food should be bad”
- Me crying and eating ramen noodle for the whole week
Ramen noodles taste epic bruh
An egg or some of those cheap canned veggies can really spice up instant ramen. Same with frozen veggies you can sometimes get pretty cheap
I used to cook and drain ramen noodles without the seasoning packet and put ragu cheese in it and then soy sauce. I look back at myself and wonder who that was. Now, I put reddiwhip on my pizza.
Stir fry them or put soy sauce and egg
If you can get the split peas or lentils, and maybe sub mushrooms for bacon, a serving of this should not cost any more than a serving of ramen. The problem, of course, is having enough for the initial investment.
“We must always remember that there are no guarantees in life. I have my savings, but I too one day will grow old and will be grateful for soup like that.”

My grandma used to make a blended version of this soup. I make it now except I add potatoes and sometimes other left over root veggies to save on food waste. Once it's all cooked it can be blended with a stick blender to make a wonderful thick filling soup.

So much food is wasted in western civilization. I love the "revolutionary" idea of giving it to the poor. Another interesting thing are the restaurants that collect rejected food from supermarkets and make dishes out of it
The Braybrooks lived in opulence with their 5000 servants, but AT LEAST they give the poor 1 hearty soup meal, how charitable of them.

Fresh mint though... unless you grow it yourself - not at all cheap rn.
Mrs. C straight up shading her employers at the end there: "I save what little I can, but at the salary rate these a-holes are paying me I'll be lucky if someone drops some poor people's soup at my doorstep when I'm old"
Pretty sure back in those days house staff lived on site until their death.
Han Yin A lot of house staff would have stayed in some form of employment until they weren’t useful anymore. Someone like Mrs. Crocombe could always stay employed as head kitchen staff or an observer function.
But as she said, many people in more elevated employment started saving money to retire in Victorian times. If she managed to she might get to live in a little seaside cottage.
@@luiousy7329 No, when they became old, younger people replaced them. By then they had saved enough to buy a small cottage for their old age. The Families always kept in touch with them, and helped when help was needed.

@@KelseyDrummer Might I ask why?
I tried the soup I didn't like the peas very much so I made a second soup and instead I added potatoes instead of peas and I also added some garlic and a little bit of corn and it was pretty good
Peas are legumes and bread is made of wheat, which is a grain. Together, these two combinations form a complementary protein, making it a complete protein, with all 8 essential amino acids.

The way that she briskly went back to work after saying those lines as if trying ro ignore the fact that that fate is going to bestow upon her one day breaks my heart😢😢
That actually brought me to tears.
The real Mrs Crowcombe will marry late in life, have no children of her own but stepchildren. Family legend will remember her with love. One descendent of her stepchildren will hand over her original cook book. Not so bad, ey?
It may me grateful for what I have. Sometimes I can easily grow discontented in my life. It's important to recognize that some people go without food while I have a refrigerator full. It deeply touched my heart. Thanks for the reminder!
Plus there was no éxit music...
She lived long, till 1926.
Thank you very much for teaching all of us to appreciate everything we have and to be Humble in life. Your final message has slapped me hard !
These videos are not long enough! @englishheritage I am hooked and just ordered the cookbook, should be here any day now. Love from America
From a loyal customer for ramen: the Victorian poor eats better than me
Oof
Kelvin Huang You can if you took the time to make this.
It would cost 5 USD. THATS VERY AFFORDABLE AND LOADED SITH PROTIEN
@@MalteseKat you would need a hot plate for this, and over an hour of electricity, and preferable a fridge to keep it and the meat, and a large pot. When I was a poor student, none of it was available.
When I was last unemployed I worked out what I spent on food in a month and it worked out to twenty dollars a week. There were a lot of carrots, cabbage, and barley in that total, but also a great deal of fresh vegetables. It helped that I'd spent a long time learning to cook as a kid, but less than three dollars a day for meals is pretty damned amazing.
this video ends on such a downer "haha don't forget I dedicated my life to serving these rich people, but there's no pension and no social safety net, so one day I'll probably be a poor beggar and the most they'll give me is a bowl of soup"
No after service to her employer, historical records show she married. She was fine.
Donna Valentino who was she historically? I didn’t know she was an actual person
@@mishyeechii766 If you watch the Insider
video of the Victorian Way, they explain she
was a historical person at Audley House.
@@mishyeechii766 The woman she plays, Ms Crocombe, the master cook at Audley
House in the victorian era.. Watch theInsider video of Victorian Way.
I didnr know this but she even has a Wikipedia page now.
Avis Crocombe (c. 1839-1927)
I am loving this channel so much!! And this soup...omg I make it all the time. My grandmother taught me how to make it and passed the recipe on to me.
저게 당근.셀러리.양파-통칭(미루포아)를 해 고기기름과 미루포아 채소스톡에 육수와 단백역활까지하는 콩을 집어넣으니 당연히 많은 양에 든든하게 먹을 수 있는 거 같네요 역시 옛 요리사들의 노력이 저런 조리법으로서 300~500년이 지난 이후에도 쓰이고있다는거 존경스럽습니다
Finally a recipe that is suitable for a person of my class
Here filthy peasant... Have some soup - Lord Braybrooke. lol
But Heather! You're popular and rich 💀💀👀
*hands you a drink* "definitely no anti freeze in it"
@@twinklenugz1238 guess the afterlife has not been good to her.
Listen you dont have to brag about your high standing lol
I’m tired of liking every single comment from y’all 😂😂
legolas elvenking right? lol
And you just added to the goddamn queue of comments I'm like-ing.
@@onigireee and you did the same thing loll 😂
the comments are bombs.. i love this wholesome community
Yo! Legolas 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Am I the only one who thinks that this soup looks/sounds great
I learn so much from this channel. The content contains history, good manners, English language for me, cooking class and art with all these outfits and utensils from the days of yore.
👏🏼🤗
“Just because one is poor doesn’t mean that food should be bad”
I FELT THAT.
Or HOG 🐖💯
"i like to season my food very well"
* adds salt and pepper*
Asians: where are the seasonings???
Ikr but this is England and their food is kinda bland
Highly suggest some other videos on the channel which have loads of spices. This is "for the poor". Many foods given out during famine and to the poor in most civilizations don't have much spices.
Me thinking tje exact same thing 😋
In British English, the widely accepted definition of ‘seasoning’ among cooks is just salt and pepper. Herbs, spices, etc. are called ‘flavouring’.
As an Asian from a multi-cultural family, I disagree with you. We’re happy with just salt and pepper always.
I'm from Philippines and I love your videos, thanks for sharing- love history! ❤️
A good classic recipe. The addition of mint intrigued me, I’ll have to try that. It’s good this is just an acting because that wee pot of soup wouldn’t feed many.
That last line is so depressing; that people worked their whole lives in service of others and then had to rely on "soup for the poor" made by the new cooks at AEH when they're old. Smh.
yes, I felt depressed.
Not her case tho, the real Mrs Crocombe owned a lodging house with her husband and when she eventually passed she had servants of her own
Indeed ☹️
Quote from a Canadian homesteader 1837 " If I had stayed in England I would never have owned a foot of ground in my life. I'd have worked as hard, and ended by starving or in the workhouse".
Sounds like Victorian England alright..
I started watching this as I was lying recuperating after a serious brain operation. I can safely say that this lady and this series bears a huge responsibility for my recovery. Now, whenever I hear the opening tune I go into a deep feeling of well being. Many thanks all who make this wonderful series.
telemachus53 - Hope you have a speedy recovery and Mrs. Crocombe quickly comes through with more new content!
I hope that you're fully recovered now.
Wishing you good health and a continued recovery.
Take care. .. hope you feel better soon xx
Blessings to you for a full recovery. I'm so glad that you found comfort in these stories about Mrs. Crocombe. It's wonderful that they are based on her writings.
Mrs. Crocombe has an authoritative, yet calming presence.
So warm and comforting!🥣😋
