TRADITIONAL FRENCH-CANADIAN SPLIT PEA SOUP
This is my family's recipe for old-fashioned French-Canadian split pea soup (or soupe aux pois, as it's known in Quebec). Made with split peas, smoked pork, vegetables and herbs, it simmers on the stovetop all afternoon long to keep your house (and your belly) warm on cold winter days.

Steps:
- In a very large heavy-bottomed pot set over medium-high heat, sweat the onions and carrots in butter for 5-7 minute, or until onions are soft and translucent.
- Stir in water, split peas, ham hock, bay leaves, thyme and savoury. Bring the soup to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the peas are soft and begin to fall apart into a puree.
- Remove the ham hock. Pull the meat away from the bone, and shred or chop into small dice. Set ham aside, and discard the bone. Remove bay leaves and discard these as well.
- Taste soup, and adjust seasoning as needed with salt and pepper. For a very smooth soup, use an immersion blender to puree completely, or leave as-is for a chunkier texture. Stir chopped ham back into the soup, and serve immediately.
FRENCH-CANADIAN PEA SOUP (SOUPE AUX POIS)
A traditional dish for Fridays (a legacy from Quebec's religious past). After cooking, I like to remove about half the peas and puree them in order to thicken the soup. I use a ham bone or pork hocks instead of salt pork. The savoury is essential to get the right flavour. You can also soak the peas overnight instead of using the quick-soak method.

- If using salted pork, cut in thick slices and boil in water for 10 minutes before dicing. In a large heavy-bottomed pot, fry bacon or pork until it starts to brown.

QUEBEC-STYLE YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP
Steps:
- Trim off and discard skin from ham hocks.
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add carrots, celery and onion. Cook, stirring regularly, until softened, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in dried split peas, bay leaf ,savory and thyme. Cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes.
- Stir in chicken broth and water. Add the ham hock. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover the pot and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the peas are very soft and soup is thickened, about 1 1/2 - 2 hours. *NOTE: You may need to add additional water or stock if soup gets too thick.
- PICK OUT AND DISCARD BAY LEAF and remove the ham hock to a plate. *Note: I prefer a thicker soup, so I blend just a bit of the soup with an immersion blender or blender. Just do a quick blend (or blend just a cup of the soup. You don't want a completely pureed soup. You want it to retain most of it's texture, but the bit of pureed soup will incorporate with the broth for a thicker soup.)
- Let ham hock cool slightly, then remove any meat on the hock and add it back to soup. Discard the fat and bone from the hock.
- Stir to combine meat with soup. Taste and generously season with salt and pepper, to taste.

- The world’s famous Poutine. Poutine is the unofficial national dish of Québec. I would not say it’s the most traditional food of my province, but it surely the most known and famous one!
- Baked beans (fèves au lard) A traditional dish consisting mainly of beans and pieces of pork, slow-cooked in an earthenware dish or in a slow cooker.
- Meat pie (pâté à la viande) or tourtière. A ground beef pie with potatoes with a top and bottom crust. My mother cooks the best! Just like baked beans, meat pie is very common in a traditional breakfast or brunch.
- Sugar pie (tarte au sucre) Among traditional food of Quebec… we also have dessert! Sugar pie are filled with a mixture of cream, flour, egg, and brown sugar, which is sometimes replaced with maple syrup.
- Pea soup (soupe aux pois) Finally, pea soups are thick and consist of dry yellow peas, salt pork, and sometimes vegetables. L’Érablière du Chemin du Roy makes some very good pea soups!

11 FOODS TO TRY IN QUEBEC CITY | WHAT TO EAT IN QUEBEC CITY

- Poutine. Perhaps Canada’s most famous cuisine, poutine combines French Fries with gravy and cheese curds. The best poutine that we had was at Bistro Le Sam, a restaurant at Chateau Frontenac.
- Crepes. Crepes are one of the traditional French foods that is popular in Quebec City. We tried both sweet and savory crepes. We went to L’Escale Bistro et Crêperie, which is in the Quartier du Petit Champlain and had crepes with ham, cheese, mushrooms and hollandaise, and a sweet crepe with bananas, strawberries, nutella, and whipped cream.
- Steak. We had a picky eater with us, but that wasn’t a problem since steak and burgers can be found on almost every restaurant menu. We tried cheeseburgers, prime rib, filet, and rib eye, and loved it all.
- The Hot Chocolate at Artefact. Sipping hot chocolate by a roaring fire is the ideal way to warm up, and the best place to sip hot chocolate by a fire in Quebec City is Artefact.
- Maple Syrup. I’m not suggesting that you drink maple syrup, but you should definitely order something with maple syrup in it while you are in Quebec. And that is an easy task.
- Maple Taffy. During winter some restaurants and cafes set up little stands outside where they make and sell maple taffy. This sweet treat is made by pouring boiling maple syrup into snow.
- French Onion Soup. We visited Quebec City in January, and it was cold. A bowl of French Onion Soup is a perfect meal for a cold day. French Onion Soup was the #1 thing that Charles wanted to eat in Quebec City, and he said that the French Onion Soup at Bistro Le Sam was the best he has ever had.
- Tim Hortons. Canada’s answer to Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks has multiple locations in Quebec City. Canadians LOVE Tim Hortons, and we made a point to check it out!
- Pea Soup. Quebec’s pea soup is unique because it is made with yellow split peas. While Quebec style pea soup calls for many of the same ingredients as my Dad’s pea soup recipe, the Quebec soup doesn’t get blended up.
- Meat Pies (Tourtière) Another Quebecois speciality is Tourtière, a meat pie. When you think of meat pie, you might think of something like a chicken pot pie that has meat and vegetables and a sauce.

- Pouding Chômeur. Photo Courtesy of Food Nouveau. Once when I was passing through Quebec City I stayed with some friendly folks from the couch surfing community.
- Cretons. Part of a balanced Quebecois breakfast, cretons (pronounced cruh-tone) is a pork spread containing onions, garlic, spices and breadcrumbs. It has a creamy yet coarse texture and tastes better than it looks.
- Cheese. A selection of brie, Oka (centre) and cheese curds from Quebec. Quebec produces most of the cheese in Canada, and is particularly well known for its soft ripened and Trappist cheeses.
- Pork Hock and Meatball Stew (Ragoût de pattes et boulettes) A stew of pig’s feet and knuckles may not sound appealing to some, which is probably why it’s often just called “ragoût” or “meatball stew”.
- Smoked Meat (viande fumée) “I’ll have a hot medium with a half sour and a black cherry soda, please!” – that’s my typical order at Schwartz’s Montreal Hebrew Delicatessen.
- Maple Baked Beans (Fèves au lard) Photo Courtesy of Aux Aciens Canadiens. Quebec baked beans may have been a lumber camp adaptation of the French dish, cassoulet – or maybe not.
- Pea Soup (soupe aux pois) Photo Courtesy of Aux Anciens Canadiens. It is said that explorer and founder of New France, Samuel de Champlain, voyaged to the new world with a ship’s pantry of dried beans, cured meats and salted fish.
- Tart au Sucre. This delicious sugar pie is made with brown and/or maple sugars. You can find it at grocery stores, bakeries, sugar shacks and many of the restaurants I’ve mentioned in this post.
