I love how you drop little tip bits behind what you're doing and 'WHY". it makes it easier for me to remember things! Thanks for being a great teacher!
Made a big pot of this a few days ago, all gone now! Followed the recipe exactly, adding parsnips and turnip. So delicious. My wife says that this is one of her favorites now. Great job. Thanks.
I made this for lunch today. It came out great. I did make a few alterations. I made a much smaller batch than was in your recipe. Instead of carrots I julliened a mini red and orange bell pepper and cut the pieces about 3/8" long. I omitted the leeks (didn't have any). Before adding the ham I put about 1/3 of the soup mixture into a blender and zapped it on high speed for perhaps 40 seconds before pouring it in. This gave enough additional thickness that I could really cut down on the amount of flour needed for the roux. It was rich and creamy and tasted great. Thank you for another recipe idea.
Love how you explain why you add ingredients or what you can use. Your recipe is beautiful and very well explained. Thank you for sharing your all this goodness. 👍🏼👍🏼🤤🤤
Thank you for mentioning storage. I'm was trying to think of a meal for a large gathering. I will be making this two days before the event. It will be simple to put in a crock pot to heat up.
Billy, I always love and keep your recipes! I am not a great cook, but you have made me a better one. Made this the day after Christmas, used parsnips, for the family…my granddaughter called it pink soup! I loved it and so did everyone else! They went home with the leftovers. Thanks, this will be a repeat!
I've never put leeks into anything before, but now I know I love them! This recipe turned out absolutely delicious and certainly helps us use up the leftover Christmas ham. Thank you so much!
Looked up for seasoning a pan, which was simple and explained well. So, I thought I would look up some recipes and am looking forward to trying some. PLUS, ingredients measured in grammes. Thank you for realising that grammes are accurate and cups vary with how finely you chop etc. Well played Billy.
Love it. 2 questions: would using a stick blender before adding the ham thicken it up more? Any suggestions for a non dairy alternative to the heavy cream? We have a dairy allergies in my house
Love your avatar, I just bought a 2 X 3 foot print of it. Chef here. Your question. I have made this a million times and never added cream. A little extra ham fat or bacon grease would do about the same thing. I do not understand why he is adding raw flour to this, at least cook flour a minute in the fat to tone down the raw taste. Stick blender is fine but leave lots of chunks, for some "body" or chew. Don't worry, everybody will love it, you can't go wrong. As I mentioned, cabbage usually goes into this, but zucchini is also good. You could also top it with rinsed and fried sauerkraut.
@@eileenlester4342 I thought of some ground oats, or as you say oat milk. It probably would be good, but, not needed. People of all cultures have been using a version of this soup for at least a thousand years, and normally just used whatever was on hand, beyond the ham and potatoes. I personally love the winter vegetables of onions and cabbage. The nature of oats would give it that silky texture, certainly. Good call.
I love the presentation of your video. you for sharing! 👍🏻 I make cooking videos too! 🧑🍳 I love to be inspired and learn from other talented creators like you. 👍🏻❤️I’m cold right now but the thought of making this is already warming me up! I’ve been really into eating soups these days!
I had some so I chopped a few up, very fine and put it in with the carrots. Hubby doesn't eat enough vegetables and when I can sneak a few in, I do. I think it added to the flavor

Wonderful recipe. Lightly toasting the flour before adding, also adds great flavor.

We made this and it was on the money. A high quality ham like Nieman Farms uncured smoked makes a huge difference. Que magnifique.

Instead of heavy cream, I think you can use roux to thicken the soup, or use non diary milk.

That's what I do.
I use a high-quality organic oat milk in replacement of dairy.

Very nice recipe :)
Can you recommend an appropriate substitute for the cream/dairy components for those of us who are lactose intolerant?
Dailey brand sour cream has a squeeze container/tube to pipe on. I think it would be perfect garnish.
Daisey not Dailey. Spell correct stinks.
How long must you cook before the potatoes are ready?
If f parsnips and turnips are used and blended do you think just whole milk would work? Buon Natale!
Can you mix the flour with a little water first before adding to the soup? I was thinking that way you don't get any clumps of flour.
What are your thoughts on adding brown sugar while caramelizing the onion? Yes? No?
I don’t think you need it.
@@ChefBillyParisi thanks so much! I’ll tag you on Instagram after I make it. Do you have an Instagram?

Yummy 😋👍🏻😍❤️
Can i add mushrooms
You could certainly, but why?
I had some so I chopped a few up, very fine and put it in with the carrots. Hubby doesn't eat enough vegetables and when I can sneak a few in, I do. I think it added to the flavor
Roux are great and so simple, but a hot roux needs cold milk, I think that is why, when he added the flour, he whisked it in.
Yummm
Where are the white beans??? That's what makes the soup thick.. not cream
Sorry but cabbage BELONGS in this.
That’s a $400 pot .
Got all the ingredients for this one. On Sunday… we cook…
