I don't think people realize the value of a big pot of homemade soup. Not only is it nutritionally dense in vitamins, but it's also hearty and filling and very easy on the grocery budget. I make this soup and it's quite similar, however adding the basil is something I've never thought of. Every once in a while, I mix it up and add a small can of quality diced tomatoes. I freeze all my soups and yes, they last for a very long time. I will certainly be trying that when my next crop (next summer) is ready to enjoy. Thanks Jean-Pierre, always enjoy your videos and P.S. YOU CAN COOK FOR ME ANYTIME.
This minestrone recipe is almost identical to the traditional minestrone I used to enjoy many moons ago at a little family-run Italian restaurant in Sussex (Hove). Since moving, & decades later, I have never encountered Minestrone like it and therefore make my own. It is so nice to see this recipe by Jean Pierre. Spot on. It nourishes the soul. I made this post Christmas but with the stock of the smoked gammon and it was sublime.
Spent yesterday making a vegetable stock and seafood stock....full freezer! Guess what we are having for dinner! I have never had a minestrone soup without both pasta and beans....like yu said, everyone makes it different. Thank you for all you and your team do.
Minestrone is probably my favorite soup as well! I really like to use kale when I make it. I know a lot of people dislike kale, but I find that when it's slightly soft, it adds a nice flavour.
Hey chef, just noticed your energy is a little down, but I still love your smile. No matter what happened in life, if grandma and mom have passed or anything else, I hope you know we love you and appreciate everything you do. Please keep smiling and keep cooking!! I love every video 😊
Great recipe. Made for my wife and mother in law last night. Skipped the green beans and added a some diced smoked turkey sausage that I sautéed at the end. None of us are vegetarian so the meat helped add some more hearty flavor. Keep up the great work and we will continue to tune in to watch you share your passion.
I commend you for combing recipes! I always say, " It's your soup...do what pleases you. " That's what I do! I combine minestrone (with both beans and pasta) along with spicy Italian sausage crumbles, tomato paste and diced tomatoes. Brown the sausage first, remove and set aside, then cook the veggies in the rendered fat. If I'm freezing a bunch of it, I cook the pasta separately, and staple the smaller freezer bag of the pasta to the larger bag of soup. Very hearty, a bit spicy, and very yummy!
My friend! We enjoy watching you perform each week. So amazing! Thank you. Do want to comment about stirring the pot, drives me crazy (short road!) when you're missing the section closest to you.... 😜
Loved hearing about your mom and Grandma in this recipe!!!! Cannellini beans are so underrated ! They are so yummy in this soup! Thank you for sharing this with us with your amazing fun happy personality . I can’t imagine how fun it would be to cook with you
It's a chilly, dreary, misting rain day here so it was an ideal day to make soup. And so neat when you said you were going to make minestrone!! Thank you, dear Chef, for another great recipe! God bless. 🙏💝
Nothing like making food from your memories of home. I guess alot of people have their favorites growing up. Great video Chef JP. Will look forward to the next one. Cheers!!
I made this tonight, and it was so easy! My husband said it was the best soup he’s ever had! It really was delicious. I love how adopting your cooking methods has changed my life! Love you, Chef! ❤️
Love it Chef! You're right, families differ in the way they make minestrone. My family uses dried pinto beans, soaked over night and diatalini . In the summer a nice scoop of pesto added to the pot. We even use broken up spaghetti. Oh the memories! Good thing cold weather is upon us. Will be making this soon.
My Father was a hunter as well as me but to a lesser degree having a lot of different meats on hand, we would brine and smoke venison bones like ribs and normal soup bones .. I have had this soup in many ways .. my favourite way is to use smoked cured venison bones really really good can't beat it in the middle of a Canadian winter making fresh bread like biscuits or just ordinary white bread fresh from the oven ..I would have at least 3 to four bowls .. it is a great food memory
i have to try this recipe. i never use potato and pasta together. usually one or the other since the starch would be too heavy. especially when adding beans and carrots. this is a very rich and comforting soup. perfect for the fall weather. sometimes i like to experiment with herbs and the aroma and flavor i got from grinding fennel seed was amazing.
I cook with leftovers in mind. When using rice/pasta in soup I cook it separate in broth for flavor but add it to the bowl when serving and store it separate in the fridge so it doesn't absorb all the liquid and turn the soup to moooosh after a day or two.
You read my mind Chef JP! I've been planning to make a minestrone soup for this season of fall. I love yours very much. Mine, I use to call it zucchini soup until my friend from Italy had it, and told me I was stupid cuz I made a minestrone. 😂. I had no idea. But I love the fact that you can put the kitchen sink of veggies in this soup and it's still a minestrone and everyone can make it their own way. Amazing soup for the soul! God Bless you Chef! And God Bless America! 💪😎🇺🇸 How come you stopped saying God Bless America at the end? I can read it, but I miss hearing it from you. 🙏 It's okay. You're still my favorite person in cooking and my best teacher. ❤️
Chef! Here you go again spoiling us with more soups. I love minestrone and I love that you shared both your mom and grandmothers recipe. :-) Thanks chef!
It's soup season in the Midwest and this minestrone looks delicious and I love a one pot dish. No more condensed can soups for me since watching your soup recipes which can be easily made and the taste is incomparable! Thank you Chef!👍❤️
I made this soup for dinner last night. Used Onyon, Carrot, Celery, Green Beans, Squash for the veggies, and a reduced chicken stock. Cannelloni beans and egg noodles. Finished with diced chicken breast. It was fantastic! I think the best soup I have ever made. Thank you, Chef for the inspiration.
It's 9.26.24 @ 11:30 PM here on the east coast. I believe I could eat half of the pot of soup! Your portion control needs work! Never large enough! lol. Fantastic! May God Bless You, Sir!
Hello Chef Jean Pierre, in autumn my family loves to sit and eat good minestrone soup. I will certainly try your recipe and have my family tell me how much they like it. If it's like any other recipes I made for them to try. Your recipes of course) I know it will be a success. Thank you for sharing your expertise and great recipes. Best Regards.
My mum had to blend the soup when I was a kid because she always put Fagioli del Papa in, as a kid they were absolutely revolting. Now they are my favourite beans to eat. we always put hock in minestrone too.
Made this today using your recipe exactly as described in video. I even made your vegetable stock recipe and used it as you did. I don’t think I can ever bring myself to ordering Minestrone in a restaurant ever again. Nothing is going to come close to the rich flavors and textures as this recipe! Thank you Chef!! 🙏
Oh Chef, what I wouldn't give to be your apprentice! My 93 year old aunt made the best minestrone I had ever tasted, but she sadly passed away a couple years ago and I never acquired her recipe. I will gladly put your recipe to the test.
YES , ONYA IS ALWAYS FIRST, UNLESS THERE IS BACON , LOVE IT CHEF JEAN PIERRE.
👍👍👍😊

Good post my friend.
Today is one of those days where I really wanted soup! I am sick and husband doesn’t cook 😭
Anytime I cook now, I always start with the onyo, and then I say to myself "Remember friends! Onyo is always number first!" Love you Chef!!
👍👍👍😊
Stay healthy, Chef.
I cannot imagine a world without you, my friend.
Needless to say that I absolutely love your work.
Chef Jean Pierre is so genuine and down to earth with his teaching. My new favorite chef on UA-cam hands down!!
He’s awesome! Always entertaining and food is amazing too
I use shredded cabbage instead of lettuce, never have i thought about lettuce in soup! Can't wait to try it!

We kept it kosher; easy. Bless your mom and grandmom.
Just how I make it. Pasta and beans of course. Nice hunk of crisp Italian bread.

Perfect food for cold autumn days!
I'm from Alberta Canada, it's cold up here in the winter, this will warm me up, thanks Chef!
I think I have a bruise from thumbs upping Chef JP’s videos so quickly!
I always use swiss chard for my minestrone - love the taste!. Thank you for reminding me to cook it again!
Hey chef, just noticed your energy is a little down, but I still love your smile. No matter what happened in life, if grandma and mom have passed or anything else, I hope you know we love you and appreciate everything you do. Please keep smiling and keep cooking!! I love every video 😊

Best way to start my week ❤
🙏🙏🙏😊
Just watching the ingredients had my mouth watering.
My favorite soup! Perfect for Thanksgiving!
Thank you chef for sharing your matriarchs' recipe!
My mom would use a big bottle of V8 juice for the stock sometimes, so good. Thanks for another wonderful recipe Chef Jean.
my o my, how easy is that to make...thanks for the recipe
My friend! We enjoy watching you perform each week. So amazing! Thank you. Do want to comment about stirring the pot, drives me crazy (short road!) when you're missing the section closest to you.... 😜
My favorite soup I do make it all a time
There's only one thing better than a bowl of minestrone soup....2 of them.....awesome video Chef Thanks so much!
After starting to watch the chefs channel I had to purchase a larger freezer for all the items that last 17 years
👏👏👏❤️
Thanks Chef Jean-Pierre!
Souper!!! I must try it.
Loved hearing about your mom and Grandma in this recipe!!!! Cannellini beans are so underrated ! They are so yummy in this soup! Thank you for sharing this with us with your amazing fun happy personality . I can’t imagine how fun it would be to cook with you
I hope the Chef never runs out of recipes!
Awesome video Chef. Have you got a video on Italian wedding soup?
Excellent -More soup recipes, please!
Pasta Fazool ?
It's a chilly, dreary, misting rain day here so it was an ideal day to make soup. And so neat when you said you were going to make minestrone!! Thank you, dear Chef, for another great recipe! God bless. 🙏💝
Nothing like making food from your memories of home. I guess alot of people have their favorites growing up. Great video Chef JP. Will look forward to the next one. Cheers!!
God bless Chef's mother and grandmother.
Two of my favourite things right here - Chef JP and Minestrone
Good Morning Chef! I love me a good minestrone. Such a comforting soup.
It seems very very healthy and easy to prepare
I always thought minestrone soup had 🍖. I have learned something today. Great great recipe. Thanks dear dear friend
This is my favorite recipe so far. Authentic Italian, straight form mamma's hands.
I made this tonight, and it was so easy! My husband said it was the best soup he’s ever had!
It really was delicious.
I love how adopting your
cooking methods has changed my life!
Love you, Chef! ❤️
Years ago my wife and I had a restaurant: Soups, Salads & More. I absolutely love soups! Can't wait to try this out. Thanks Chef!!
a recipe I've been waiting for!
Love it Chef! You're right, families differ in the way they make minestrone. My family uses dried pinto beans, soaked over night and diatalini . In the summer a nice scoop of pesto added to the pot. We even use broken up spaghetti. Oh the memories! Good thing cold weather is upon us. Will be making this soon.
Amazing !!
Chef, you make every recipe come together so effortlessly.
Thanks for Blessing us with your culinary wisdom.

Another Chef Jean-Pierre treasure. Thanks Jean-Pierre, please pass the onyos!
It’s that time of the year for hot soups, stews of brisket and shin beef. Bravo chef, amazing as ever.
my friend, you know the answer: . . . . . you're the BEST ! ! !
I've always wanted to make minestrone soup. Looks delicious and will do good for a nice warm up this winter.
Oh my!!! Thank you Chef...I can't wait to make this for my family. I am DEFINATELY spreading the word about my favorite Chef!!
Danke!
Thank you 🙏
Thank you Chef. This looks amazing! I’m sure you made your mom and grandma very proud and continue to do so!😊
🙏❤️
Time to thaw out the veggie stock... looks good friend!
I cook with leftovers in mind. When using rice/pasta in soup I cook it separate in broth for flavor but add it to the bowl when serving and store it separate in the fridge so it doesn't absorb all the liquid and turn the soup to moooosh after a day or two.
Who needs a soup maker machine . As always very inspiring ,mouthwatering and educational. Thank you chef .
You read my mind Chef JP!

It's okay. You're still my favorite person in cooking and my best teacher. ❤️
Fantastique! 😃👍
Chef! Here you go again spoiling us with more soups. I love minestrone and I love that you shared both your mom and grandmothers recipe. :-) Thanks chef!
Mmmmm soup! I love it
What a nice person Jean Pierre is! Always gets me in good mood ❤
Perfect timing Chef, winters almost here, will definitely make this and freeze the rest , for the next 17 Winters!
It's soup season in the Midwest and this minestrone looks delicious and I love a one pot dish. No more condensed can soups for me since watching your soup recipes which can be easily made and the taste is incomparable! Thank you Chef!👍❤️
Love soup when the weather starts cooling down

Perfect winter dish.

This is why I love your channel you always come up with something different that I love going to try this and maybe add a little rice
Best home made minestrone recipe I have ever seen.🙏

Most wonderful minestrone recipe I have come across. I must make this and will make your vegetable broth. I love your show!☀️☀️☀️
My mum had to blend the soup when I was a kid because she always put Fagioli del Papa in, as a kid they were absolutely revolting. Now they are my favourite beans to eat. we always put hock in minestrone too.
Best minestrone I ever had ..😃😃
Nice touch with the Escarole!!
Merci Chef!!
Nice winter soup my friend
My husband made your Minestrone Soup. We loved it. Thank you for all the recipes. There hasn't been one that we've tried that we didn't like.
Chef you are magnificent! Please include more quizzes! Thank you for all you do!
Thank you! Will do!
Great soup my friend, keeps everybody happy. Love your show, very vibrant.
I love his energy. I'm going to put this soup together today. It's a cloudy fall day. Perfect 👌🤍😅
Thank you chef. Heading to the store to get these ingredients this morning
You are going to love it! 👍🙂
I was going to make chicken soup this week, but this is now what I will do. Great recipe, again, JP.
Thank you so much Chef for sharing your family Minestrone Recipe, looks amazing!!!

Thank you Chef, it will be my next soup!
Glad to see my favorite chef has this recipe! Just discovered my toddler loves minestrone soup so I can’t wait to follow this recipe.
Another fantastic video with a beautiful recipe to up my soup game :-) Thank you so much!
Minestrone Soup has been my favorite soup, Chef Jean-Pierre!
Thank you, for teaching us how to cook it homemade!
Chef! Anything in that gorgeous veggie broth would be heavenly! Mom's/Gramma's minestrone looks fabuloso! 😉❣
Made this today using your recipe exactly as described in video.
I even made your vegetable stock recipe and used it as you did.
I don’t think I can ever bring myself to ordering Minestrone in a restaurant ever again. Nothing is going to come close to the rich flavors and textures as this recipe!
Thank you Chef!! 🙏
I’m excited! I love minestrone. Can’t wait to try this recipe!!
Oh Chef, what I wouldn't give to be your apprentice! My 93 year old aunt made the best minestrone I had ever tasted, but she sadly passed away a couple years ago and I never acquired her recipe. I will gladly put your recipe to the test.
Looks delicious!
Always come here for ideas on weekend meals. Never disappoints!
Super JP … Best vidéo 🎉
Thank you very much! This recipe brings back a lot of good memories regarding my grandpa and his cooking. Absloutely perfect!
Love minestrone soup! Gotta try this recipe!!
