I just finished making and enjoying a full batch of this soup. Wife, Daughter, and I all loved it! I was not shy about the herbs. I think I made a slightly-oversized batch of the salsa but it adds a lot to the soup. Anyway, this is great stuff. Thanks for this recipe and demonstration, Chef!
Chef Pierre I have a question I have some parsnips that I need to use I thought about putting them into the potato soup recipe will they work with it and I have half and half can I use that instead of cream ?
Would any student of Physics tell Einstein that he was talking too much? No, we would sit at his feet, absorb every morsel of insight, and ask as many questions as he would allow.
I couldn't believe it when you said "I am retired..." That in this phase of your life, you have dedicated yourself to helping all of us learn to be the best cooks and food providers for our family. This level of instruction is unobtainable to the "common man/woman". Thank you Chef!
I have to say, I spent over 20 years in the culinary arts and Chef John has clearly spent time in the trenches. He is intuitive. This is very different from the faux chefs on UA-cam or some that have only spent time at an academy and had no real worlds experience.

I am retired also...since I cooked/baked for a living, until I was early '30's, I am extatic to get back to 'cooking and baking' since I have retired! Thanks for YOUR videos. I watch them all the time...God bless you!
Chef, not one time did I ever think your videos were "too long." On the other hand, there were many times I wished your videos were much longer; they are exceptionally informative and entertaining. Thank you!
You are so right. He's videos are my daily relaxation pills ... and yes, I learn(ed) so many cooking "details". I will forever be Jean-Pierre's fan. Keep on ... talking too much my friend. Good luck.
I actually love watching JP's videos. I could do so all day. He is so cordial, warm, and friendly, it is refreshing. While I'd wager part of it is simply for the camera, I have no doubt that Chef JP is much different in person. Rock on, Chef. 🤙🤙🤙
I think that chef JP (or maybe his production staff) get discouraged by seeing the other "youtube chefs" (sam, chef john, etc) whose videos are relatively short like 12 minutes or less and they have in the low millions of subscribers with view counts regularly in the hundreds of thousands, so they figure it's the length of the videos turning people off. While I'm sure it does for some of the ADD zoomers, JP and his staff should realize that the videos are different environments, those are for entertainment, these are for education. I hope they realize that and stop trying to neuter JP's teaching and personality just to make his videos shorter. I picture his director being like "hey JP stop talking the video is too long" and just get angry.
this is so true, that happens only when you have a passion and keep your young boy's love for things, cooking, music, cars, whatever.Chef Jean Pierre's videos not only are a complete and extremely competent superb cooking school, but show a kitchen that some so called chefs have simply forgotten or never knew...and, they are an example of how positivity and human values can move the World.The 1,3 millions followers are not only here because they need new recipes
I’ll say that cooking is the closest thing, besides music, that is as close to actual magic there is. A wizard who enjoys the results of years of success would no doubt always be excited by the magic he creates! I certainly feel like magic when I cook now. Intention is everything
I love a good, fresh made soup. For sure, we are one generation away from losing the every day common skills needed to make good, nutritious common people foods. That's not to say that everything you make is common, it's not. But potato soup is simple, unpretentious and approachable from any vantage point. The possibility of losing these cooking skills makes your efforts of showing, step by step, food preparation in a simple but detailed way so very important! I knew a man, an old man from Canada, some 23 years ago, who was, as a child, in the Polish concentration camps. He told me he survived as a forced laborer, working for a man who gave him one or two potatoes a day. 55 years later, he tells me he still loves potatoes in the form of potato soup. I made my best attempt at a creamy potato for him. Today, with your recipe, i am learning a better way, and if I had another chance to make it for that old man, I would gladly do so with this Potato Bacon Soup recipe! Thank you Chef!
This Man has no idea how much he has helped my Restaurant Game! I went to a great Culinary scool but I think I learned more from watching him then I did from school! Thank you Chef Jean!
I never went to school, but I have studied acook book, 100'snd what he teaches is far greater than the books, A single Mother, at 56 he has opened my eyes and taste buds.
Those of us that have been watching since the beginning of this channel do not care about the length of the video, the longer it is the more info we get. We do enjoy the quality, knowledge of all those delicious dishes you share weekly !!!!😋
I am sure he has been excellent from the beginning and I really planned to watch from the beginning and keep watching his videos. However you are lucky to have discovered him earlier on he is really such a joy
I don't know who these people are who are telling you that your videos are "too long," but I doubt that's an opinion shared by the majority of us who love this channel. I can say with complete honesty that if you were to have a video where 20 minutes is just you telling us stories about your time in France or stories about when you first came to America, or any other stories you want to tell, while the onions caramelize, I (and probably a lot of other folks too) would just love it! I can always go to Tick-Tack-Tock if I want to see a fast video with no personality! :) This channel is special because it's YOUR kitchen.
Jean-Pierre saved my marriage during Covid isolation, giving me inspiration to cook gorgeously simple dishes to impress my family and friends. Not sure which is more delicious - his unpretentious cooking style or personality. Either way, I wait in anticipation for each new episode. Thanks Jean-Pierre!
I knew when he smiled and set the small motion blender down that he was going for the Tim Allen super charged motion blender lol I love you Chef Jean Pierre! that is so awesome!
So much fun to watch. Chef JP acts like an absent-minded professor, but is a genius. I always love watching when he pulls out his industrial strength immersion blender. Lol. Crocodile Dundee…. “That’s not a knife. THIS is a knife.”
You know we’re in for fun when the boat motor comes out. Onyo always number first except when there is bacon. Looks absolutely awesome! Nice new intro too Jack!
My thirty-year-old masseuse went to culinary school after he became masseuse. I asked him why and he said his mother was a horrible cook and he wanted to do better. I Regale him with stories about Chef Jean-Pierre especially the motorboat immersion blender.
Chef Jean Pierre, God Bless You! My wife us always getting on me for "creative" cooking. I never measure. I played her this video and she oh my, there are more you that never measure. Lol Be safe Chef ❤Rick Mansberger
Chef, you never "talk too much". Your personality is what sets you apart from everyone else. Anyone can cook and share a recipe. Only you are you and only you have your amazing personality to bring us all into the kitchen with you.
.Another excellent video. Apart from his expertise and experience, Chef Jean-Pierre's passion for good food really shines through. Keep the videos coming, Chef! P.S., in English, we usually say a head of celery.
Too long? Never . . . Interesting? Always . . . Do I learn something? Every time I watch a video . . . Thanks Chef Jean-Pierre for taking the time to produce these educational and entertaining videos. By the way, I've already made the roasted Chicken dish two times. Also, the chicken stock hasn't lasted 17 years at my house; we have used it up too fast. I have about a week's worth left in the freezer.
You chat like a teenage girl! But it’s part of the charm of your channel and we love it. Your so nice and down to earth. We appreciate that too. Your proof that you don’t have to be a tyrant in the kitchen like Ramsey or Marco, but can achieve the same results if not better by being decent. We love you and what you do chef. This is one of my favourite channels. WELL DONE!
Even my Grand Children like watching you. Yesterday they came over to visit and they sat and watched you make the Beef Wellington and “Friends”, I could not get them away from the computer. It was “Amazing”.
Golden moment of this video: 17:55, Chef JP whips out the giant stick to puree the soup, I just laughed my heart out! Chef JP you are always a joy to watch, such passion for food, such joie de vivre, thank you for the excellent work, God bless!

AND AMAZING TIP !!! WITH THE WHITE DOTS IN THE SOUP I ALWAYS WANTED TO SOMEHOW FIX THAT !! !!!! NOW I KNOW TO ADD THE SEPARATELY COOKED POTATO TO THE ALREADY PUREE'D SOUP AND NOT COOK THE POTATO IN THE PUREE
My Grandad taught me how to make this soup when I was a little kid (the only difference was the stock was store bought and no awesome “salsa”), and when I was a teenager I’d stay at his house when he was sick and make this for him. I can’t believe it’s the same soup! He worked at restaurants all across the southern states, and was such an amazing cook. Thank you, Chef, for bringing back old memories! Now I’m going to try it your way with your homemade stock! 🙏💚
Chef Jean-Pierre, just to tell you and the team again(7 again), we love the time we spend together here, we love your stories, you are a genuine person(not a nut) and keep making them videos longer so we spend more quality time together listening to your stories and cooking with happiness. Cooking is fun as our Chef Jean-Pierre says! Always
I luv Chef Jean-Pierre - measure carefully, freezer for 17 years, onion first, et al.... HIs style of cooking resonates with cooking - use what you got on hand,, don't worry about measuring everything, experiment with new ingredients / flavors and don't sweat the small stuff! I can only imagine how much fun an in-person cooking class would have been with him! Keep up all the great content - love your zest for life!
"Use the best ingredients, treat them with the utmost respect and you'll end with pretty good food". Couldn't agree more, you can taste it in the food when people don't put in the work and the respect for the ingredients they're cooking. Also a great recipe! Another one for my soup arsenal! Greetings from Portugal Chef!
I echo pretty much everyone when I say the videos can't be too long. I think one of the longer ones was the Beef Wellington and I watched it like it was a Netflix Special. I guess what I'm saying is, the longer the better! Your fanbase can't get enough of these! God bless you!
You're "retired"? I don't think so. Keep making these great videos and teaching us. I agree with others, your videos have NEVER, EVER been "too long". I love soup, homemade is always the best. Thanks for teaching us how.
Both of my favorites together. printing it off now. Potatoes and the king of meat aka bacon. Thank you. So many years of amazing experience to share with us, in such a short time BTW.I made beef stew for combined family dinner and added tomato sause for the first time to store bought beef stock. I became an instant winner. Later my wife asks how i made stew so much better than I had in the last 27 year's. I told her I know a guy. Thank you, Chef.
The explanation is full of information that only adds knowledge to the viewer. The videos are not long, they are the size necessary for a full understanding of the subject. Long live the honorable Chef!
Agreed, My split pea soup is the bomb, mainly because I've always cooked in this manner, that being said, I would watch to learn how Chef J-P does his. I could watch Chef, all day long.
I'm back to this recipe again. My family loved it the first time I made and have requested it for dinner tonight with grilled cheese/onyo/sliced tomato sandwiches. Evidently this has become their favorite soup. as always, Thank you Chef Jean-Pierre! PS: The onion rings were a HUGE success with my family!!
DON'T LET ANYBODY EVER TELL YOU THAT YOU TALK TOO MUCH OR THAT YOUR VIDEOS ARE TOO LONG! You guys have the best vlogs on the internet. Bar None! . You are very entertaining, and I've learned so much since watching your videos. I have made Many of your recipes and I don't think I've ever had a failure. You are a great teacher, because you can explain difficult tasks and turn them into easy solutions. or accomplishments. We set at our Senior Center and often discuss your videos. Many of your recipes have really improved or definitely kicked up our pot luck suppers at the Center. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
People like Jean just make life so much more enjoyable. Excellence in anything makes good in everything, especially in food. Good people and good food make a life well lived. Thankyou Mr. Pierre for making this life even butter!
In my past I have been an amateur professional chef, ie untrained and slightly competent, but made a few coming to the restaurant happy, if only because of my mother and two Sicilian grandmothers.., and a lot of butter, before it was fashionable again....but cooking is fun and even meditative again, thank you for bringing the joy, and the technique! It is indeed child's play!
What? No butter! Would add that your beautiful hello at the start is enough. Everyone and their brother starts their videos with loud abrasive music, and to us it detracts from the pleasure. Play some Edith Piaf or something classic, not electronic balearic music. You already have our attention.
Some time ago you showed us how best to keep herbs in the fridge by putting them between paper towels and into a plastic container. I've learned a lot from you but that tip was a total winner. Thank you SO much for that. Before, I used to throw out half of the herbs I bought as they quickly turned mushy before I could use it all up. Not any more! It more than doubles the keeping time.
I’m making this one today for sure, I was thinking about what kind of soup to make for the cold snap we have here in Alberta Canada right now and this will hit the spot. Thanks again chef and I like the new intro.
We have a combined family dinner once a week, to get everybody, in laws, nephew's, nieces all together. next Friday's menu is now set. Life it to short not to eat well.
Chef you're not wrong there's no such thing as real bacon bits in a bag believe me I've tried. You know I think to be a good chef or a cook is all about loving what you do and you'll succeed eventually. Love watching you cook I learn a lot and have fun in the process.
Chef, I can't thank you enough for how much you've taught, and mostly how you have grown my passion for cooking great food!! Keep doing what you do! Love the new intro!
Yes I'm 71 living by myself I stopped cooking. over 10 years ago. And now I may be buying a chinois. Which I probably will use five or six times in my life but I would enjoy each time I do it
Absolutely love watching him cook. 😂 Especially when he’s tasting hot food! We just dug our fresh potatoes and want to use the ones that were pierced by the potato fork when digging them up. Thank you for the great information and entertainment. ❤️
One of your best videos! Great recipe, great explanations and hilarious jokes throughout. I was laughing so much but my biggest laugh was when you appeared with that huge wild creature otherwise known as an immersion blender.😅 It was taller than you! Ha ha ha. You could have had a career as a stand-up comedian as you are naturally funny! I have made potato soup several times but now that I have seen your wonderful method I will be trying it again, and doing it your way - except for the huge blender. 😉 I will just have to make do with a normal size one. The bacon bits are amazing. I will be trying that method out. The presentation of the salsa in the centre of the soup really dresses up the soup. Loved your video so much! Thank you!
God Bless You for sharing not only your talent, but your enthusiasm for what you do!! You are a force for good and we need more like you in this troubled world!!
Hello Chef! I made this soup tonight for friends and family. Everyone LOVED it!!! Thank you for this wonderful recipe, and making me a better cook. Bruce
My mom bless her heart ,we had a huge family and my dad left her with the children of course. But she was very poor , she made potato soup about 4x a week. We were raised on it , I was not very fond of it. But today I would kill for a bowl of it and a conversation with my mom, maybe thats what heaven will be like?
Good afternoon Chef, the soup really looks gorgeous. One of our favourite soups. Me and my husband like thick creamy soups, not my son. Yet he enjoy soups a lot! the potato soup I make is very similar, never tried it with corn, bacon and potato pieces! Mine I cut carrot julienne, celery julienne, cook them separately, then drain it, add to the serving soup in bowl, carrot and celery spooned in the centre with the cream poured gently around the veggies. It really is a good soup. Just a variation, , I will try the corn, maybe a dash of cayenne pepper in the bowl for colour. Loved that gigantic mercer blender, now that's a blender. Thank you for sharing, we are fast approaching autumn, so soup will be welcome a no fuss meal. Take care, go well. Kind regards.
Good Morning Chef Jean Pierre ! The soup looks delicious and for sure will be making this. Thank You for sharing your expertise, look forward to Thursday 😊👌
We love soup too. Bring it on and longer the video the better. In the chain-restaurants they bake then deep fry bacon to make it crispy. They turn good healthy bacon into toxic bacon. This is the reason people get so sick from dining out. Thank you chef.
Yummy! So making this next weekend!! Love your videos chef!!!! I think it’s called “celery stalk.” Totally agree those “bacon bits” are completely something else lol. Never had good tasting ones, so we just make extra and save them in the fridge for salad toppings later ;)!
I just finished making and enjoying a full batch of this soup. Wife, Daughter, and I all loved it! I was not shy about the herbs. I think I made a slightly-oversized batch of the salsa but it adds a lot to the soup.
Anyway, this is great stuff. Thanks for this recipe and demonstration, Chef!
That is just awesome to hear !!! I am so glad your family enjoyed it! 😊👍

Don't apologize for talking too much Chef, we are listening to all the things you teach. Thank you
I literally only tune in for the talking, could listen to him for hours 🤣

I luv Chef Jean-Pierre - measure carefully, freezer for 17 years, onion first, et al.... HIs style of cooking resonates with cooking - use what you got on hand,, don't worry about measuring everything, experiment with new ingredients / flavors and don't sweat the small stuff! I can only imagine how much fun an in-person cooking class would have been with him! Keep up all the great content - love your zest for life!
Thank you 🙏❤️
The new opening is excellent. It hints at the quality of the recipe, chef and production. Two thumbs👍🏻👍🏻up.
Enough already, CJP... you NEVER talk too much!
"Use the best ingredients, treat them with the utmost respect and you'll end with pretty good food". Couldn't agree more, you can taste it in the food when people don't put in the work and the respect for the ingredients they're cooking. Also a great recipe! Another one for my soup arsenal! Greetings from Portugal Chef!
I echo pretty much everyone when I say the videos can't be too long. I think one of the longer ones was the Beef Wellington and I watched it like it was a Netflix Special. I guess what I'm saying is, the longer the better! Your fanbase can't get enough of these! God bless you!
Your videos are never too long or too short. They show me exactly what I need to know and are very entertaining as well. Thank you, Sir!
You're "retired"? I don't think so. Keep making these great videos and teaching us. I agree with others, your videos have NEVER, EVER been "too long". I love soup, homemade is always the best. Thanks for teaching us how.
fantastic bcs he explains "why" he does he does things the way he does. Quick great recipes
these videos are never too long and you dont talk to much! You are so fun to watch!
Man o man this looks fantastic! Got to give this a try.
God bless all here.
Both of my favorites together. printing it off now. Potatoes and the king of meat aka bacon. Thank you. So many years of amazing experience to share with us, in such a short time
BTW.I made beef stew for combined family dinner and added tomato sause for the first time to store bought beef stock. I became an instant winner. Later my wife asks how i made stew so much better than I had in the last 27 year's. I told her I know a guy. Thank you, Chef.
When you pull out the big immersion blender, I know its gonna be great!
Your videos are never too long. We giggle and drool through the whole thing. ☺️
The explanation is full of information that only adds knowledge to the viewer. The videos are not long, they are the size necessary for a full understanding of the subject. Long live the honorable Chef!
Making soup the Jean-Pierre way is the right way. I've never made much soup before but when you do it this way it turns out AMAZING!
Ha, ha ….oh my goodness…the immersion blender! 😂 I love these videos! Not only are they a wealth of information, but oh so entertaining!!
I absolutely love this guy… how bout a split pea soup?? On a side note who doesn’t love listening to a French chef talk and cook?
Agreed, My split pea soup is the bomb, mainly because I've always cooked in this manner, that being said, I would watch to learn how Chef J-P does his. I could watch Chef, all day long.
Please don't change, we all really love you and the channel just the way they are.
Wonderful recipe, love chefs performance, and professional camera work. Such a pleasure to watch and learn.
Truly a delight.
i like how you explain “why” you do things the way you do
I'm back to this recipe again. My family loved it the first time I made and have requested it for dinner tonight with grilled cheese/onyo/sliced tomato sandwiches. Evidently this has become their favorite soup. as always, Thank you Chef Jean-Pierre! PS: The onion rings were a HUGE success with my family!!
My wife is an excellent cook and I could burn water. We both love your videos!
Love the new intro. The soup looks great, and never stop explaining or tell us stories, talk as much as you want!
DON'T LET ANYBODY EVER TELL YOU THAT YOU TALK TOO MUCH OR THAT YOUR VIDEOS ARE TOO LONG! You guys have the best vlogs on the internet. Bar None! . You are very entertaining, and I've learned so much since watching your videos. I have made Many of your recipes and I don't think I've ever had a failure. You are a great teacher, because you can explain difficult tasks and turn them into easy solutions. or accomplishments. We set at our Senior Center and often discuss your videos. Many of your recipes have really improved or definitely kicked up our pot luck suppers at the Center. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK.
People like Jean just make life so much more enjoyable. Excellence in anything makes good in everything, especially in food. Good people and good food make a life well lived. Thankyou Mr. Pierre for making this life even butter!
THANK YOU 🙏
Love you and your cooking style all the way from Sweden.
You make my day! Just luv you Chef. What an outstanding teacher. The best cooking show available.
In my past I have been an amateur professional chef, ie untrained and slightly competent, but made a few coming to the restaurant happy, if only because of my mother and two Sicilian grandmothers.., and a lot of butter, before it was fashionable again....but cooking is fun and even meditative again, thank you for bringing the joy, and the technique! It is indeed child's play!
What? No butter! Would add that your beautiful hello at the start is enough. Everyone and their brother starts their videos with loud abrasive music, and to us it detracts from the pleasure. Play some Edith Piaf or something classic, not electronic balearic music. You already have our attention.
Love that new action packed intro! 😂
it needs an AMAZING at the end !!
@@KutaPuta: Or maybe, an "Even a child can do this!"
Me too 💝
OMG! This was sooooo good. My family LOVED it!! Thank you! I have learned sooo much from your videos.
Some time ago you showed us how best to keep herbs in the fridge by putting them between paper towels and into a plastic container. I've learned a lot from you but that tip was a total winner. Thank you SO much for that. Before, I used to throw out half of the herbs I bought as they quickly turned mushy before I could use it all up. Not any more! It more than doubles the keeping time.
You are a great guy and mentor for home cooking!!!
Chef, I love the new intro. You are an amazing teacher and chef. (First recipe without butter.) Much love, Chef Jean-Pierre!
But I noticed the butter was on the counter in front of him...for moral support!
I still want a hug from chef Pierre. I feel like it would alleviate all of my issues.
I’m making this one today for sure, I was thinking about what kind of soup to make for the cold snap we have here in Alberta Canada right now and this will hit the spot. Thanks again chef and I like the new intro.
We have a combined family dinner once a week, to get everybody, in laws, nephew's, nieces all together. next Friday's menu is now set. Life it to short not to eat well.
Where in Alberta?
Nice touch on a classic dish Chef!
Anybody else actually laugh out loud when Chef JP stuck that outboard motor in the soup? 😂
Do know how many homeless peeps, that he is saving... his cooking... Inspires me.... Thank you chef JP
Me too. Immersion blender by Evinrude!
That blender really made my day ... bravo Chef Jean Pierre !!! Your videos are so relaxing and full of humor, THANK YOU!
It looked like a leaf blower 😂
Chef you're not wrong there's no such thing as real bacon bits in a bag believe me I've tried. You know I think to be a good chef or a cook is all about loving what you do and you'll succeed eventually. Love watching you cook I learn a lot and have fun in the process.
Chef, I can't thank you enough for how much you've taught, and mostly how you have grown my passion for cooking great food!! Keep doing what you do! Love the new intro!
Yes I'm 71 living by myself I stopped cooking. over 10 years ago. And now I may be buying a chinois. Which I probably will use five or six times in my life but I would enjoy each time I do it
Chef, your videos are not too long. You are an outstanding teacher. Keep on doing it your way chef & thank you. God bless.
Absolutely love watching him cook. 😂 Especially when he’s tasting hot food! We just dug our fresh potatoes and want to use the ones that were pierced by the potato fork when digging them up. Thank you for the great information and entertainment. ❤️
I made it...I made it...can you hear me scream of pure joy??? Thanks Chef Jean Pierre...it was a success!
Awesome 👏 👏👏😊
One of your best videos! Great recipe, great explanations and hilarious jokes throughout. I was laughing so much but my biggest laugh was when you appeared with that huge wild creature otherwise known as an immersion blender.😅 It was taller than you! Ha ha ha. You could have had a career as a stand-up comedian as you are naturally funny! I have made potato soup several times but now that I have seen your wonderful method I will be trying it again, and doing it your way - except for the huge blender. 😉 I will just have to make do with a normal size one. The bacon bits are amazing. I will be trying that method out. The presentation of the salsa in the centre of the soup really dresses up the soup. Loved your video so much! Thank you!
Chef has a way of keeping us locked in conversation and entertained at the same time we’re learning. Great job
Love the new intro! I can't wait to try this soup too.
My ab-so-lute favorite soup ...Merci Beaucoup, Chef
Love to see your smiling face first thing Monday morning Chef! Another great recipe to try, I love soup as well! Love the new intro! ❤️
God Bless You for sharing not only your talent, but your enthusiasm for what you do!! You are a force for good and we need more like you in this troubled world!!
Hello Chef! I made this soup tonight for friends and family. Everyone LOVED it!!! Thank you for this wonderful recipe, and making me a better cook.
Bruce
My mom bless her heart ,we had a huge family and my dad left her with the children of course. But she was very poor , she made potato soup about 4x a week. We were raised on it , I was not very fond of it. But today I would kill for a bowl of it and a conversation with my mom, maybe thats what heaven will be like?
May our Mom rest on peace 🙏😊
Good afternoon Chef, the soup really looks gorgeous. One of our favourite soups. Me and my husband like thick creamy soups, not my son. Yet he enjoy soups a lot! the potato soup I make is very similar, never tried it with corn, bacon and potato pieces! Mine I cut carrot julienne, celery julienne, cook them separately, then drain it, add to the serving soup in bowl, carrot and celery spooned in the centre with the cream poured gently around the veggies. It really is a good soup. Just a variation, , I will try the corn, maybe a dash of cayenne pepper in the bowl for colour. Loved that gigantic mercer blender, now that's a blender. Thank you for sharing, we are fast approaching autumn, so soup will be welcome a no fuss meal. Take care, go well. Kind regards.
Your videos are NEVER too long.
Good Morning Chef Jean Pierre !
The soup looks delicious and for sure will be making this.
Thank You for sharing your expertise, look forward to Thursday 😊👌
Yes! The chicken would be wonderful! I am so very glad to have found YOU and your show.
Your Ukrainian friend, Tatiana
Yum, yum Chef J-P! Made it, served it with center cut Petite lamb chop and broccoli. Followed by black berries and coffee. 👍
One of My Favorites
The intro was great and so is the soup. Going to get the recipe and print it off now. Great show as always.
This gentleman is dropping gold for the one who perceive, amazing flexibly of humor, facts and imagination. God bless you sir!.
Wow, thank you!🙏 ❤️
Looks delicious!
Thank you Chef and God bless.
We love soup too. Bring it on and longer the video the better. In the chain-restaurants they bake then deep fry bacon to make it crispy. They turn good healthy bacon into toxic bacon. This is the reason people get so sick from dining out. Thank you chef.
"You can use an immersion blender which works great, or... (whips out a trolling motor) this works VERY great!"
Don't ever change, Chef! 😂
I just want to give everyone watching chef Jean Pierre's videos a warning. Don't watch late at night or you might find yourself in the kitchen cooking
Too long??? Dont think so. when I first found your channel I binge watched 8 in a row, so much fun!! Take your time chef, we'll gladly be here.
Yummy! So making this next weekend!! Love your videos chef!!!!
I think it’s called “celery stalk.” Totally agree those “bacon bits” are completely something else lol. Never had good tasting ones, so we just make extra and save them in the fridge for salad toppings later ;)!
Me too, next Family night, Friday or Saturday.
