This is a meal made up of salt beef, cabbage, carrot, turnip and potatoes. We usually have this meal on SUNDAY’S or at CHRISTMAS TIME, I shared a link for you to check out and then you will see what i’m talking about. To continue on to our main recipe PEAS SOUP from Leftovers. After Sunday we call the JIGGS DINNER, leftovers and we make a few different meals from it. Another one is called COULDN’TS. Traditional Newfoundland Couldn’ts also called hash.

So are you interested now!

Here in Newfoundland and Labrador we don’t waste food and any time we make a meal we can get more then one from it. Years ago when our elders would have a JIGGS DINNER or BOILED DINNER they would have enough potatoes to make a potato salad call COLD PLATE, Traditional Newfoundland Cold Plates

Traditional Newfoundland Cold Plates
Cold plate with mustard salad, beet salad, coleslaw, tomato, iceberg lettuce, and cheese.

 I HOPE YOU ARE STILL ENJOYING OUR RECIPE FOR PEAS SOUP.

No waste is what its all about and any time you can use your leftovers to make more then one meal, you have saved yourself money. Please continue on to our recipe for PEAS SOUP from LEFTOVERS and I will also share my link to our COOKBOOK on amazon. https://www.bonitaskitchen.com/cookbook

Peas Soup from Leftovers
Homemade peas soup from LEFTOVER PEAS PUDDING, and boiled dinner. This recipe is so delicious and easy to make.

I’m sure you have enjoyed our recipe method so far, this is a lovely soup and one our son’s love to have. Every time I visit our son’s I be sure to bring with me a pack of yellow split peas to make them a boiler of peas soup and doughboys. But the peas soup from the split peas are made different then the leftover peas soup. I will share with you our link to that recipe and it is equally as delicious. Traditional Newfoundland Peas Soup & Doughboys

Can you tell the difference, I’m sure you can’t.

Anyone that have made peas soup before can agree they taste the same, but a few steps less then making it from scratch.

      I’m getting readyto make our Jiggs dinner for Christmas. I have always made hash (couldn’ts) the next day and all the crowd comes for that too. Just as good as the main meal in my opinion. I still always end up with additional peas pudding left. I never thought about making peas soup. Great idea. Thanks. Now I’m looking forward to that as well.

      What a great site! I have never liked cooking but this site has actually gotten me excited about preparing the familiar foods that I love. After 50 plus years of living off the island these are still my favorite. Thank you Bonita.

        Hi Pauline: Thank you so much for your lovely message and I’m so glad to help. When we lived away a few years ago for over thirty years I would long for our homemade recipes that my mom and dad made for us years ago. I would call my mom and she would read the recipe over the phone that cost hundreds of dollars in phone calls with no phone plan. Plus she would leave out a few of the ingredients and it turned out wrong. So after we retired from our full-time jobs in the NWT we started Bonita’s Kitchen and we have been trying to find and make all the recipes that we missed and loved from years ago. We are so glad to help and enjoy everyone of them. Bonita 🙂

          Keep up the good work, sharing your recipes. I enjoy watching or tape your show to watch later. Have tried alot of your recipes and they are delicious.
          Now, I am wondering if you have a recipe for baked leftover peas pudding. My Aunt always made this and now she has passed away. My brother loved it..I would like to find a recipe and make it for him. He will be turning 80 years old next month.

        Hi Kim: Isn’t that the truth, you can make so many meals from just one. That’s like a roasted chicken and left over vegetable’s cut them up and the chicken and make chicken soup. I have that recipe on there as well for you to check out. Thank you for stopping by, Bonita
