Acorn Squash Soup | Chef Jean-Pierre

[@thegodofpez]

I’d watch a 32 minute Chef JP squash soup recipe over a 3 minute recipe any day! Main reason? He’s the best, and he goes into great detail along the way. My favorite chef of all time. ❤

[@ChefJeanPierre]

🙏❤️ Thank you for your kind words!🙏❤️

That boat motor is impressive tool for the kitchen. I want one lol

If I used one of those my kitchen would be a crime scene 🤣

I had a bamix for 20 years and it died, I replaced it with a cheap one , def getting a boat motor next

[@debbiezullo7056]

I place a rolled kitchen towel under the squash, just as you would do with a bowl, that way it’s pretty much stabilizes it. Much easier to cut much safer. I love your videos. You truly a world-class chef.♥️

[@joedent3323]

He sucks at cutting halves, though 😊

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Thank you so much! That's a great tip - I'll try it next time 👍❤️

[@GreekPackDragon]

I have done this for years and not makes it so simple. Squash, watermelon etc.

[@kimberlyolson4705]

You have provided a lifetime of impressionable moments and we all love you for that. I have far more respect for someone who is not afraid to be "human" on camera and include all the issues that are found in a kitchen. Thank you for all you do! Bless you.

[@xraycharli]

the best way to start a new week is to watch a new recipe creation made by the best Chef ever. Funny and eductional in the same way.

[@rebeccamcgraw5318]

Ooops, I almost forgot: thank you for teaching me the correct way to zest things. For years I was a DING DONG! You have shown me the way!

[@LunarLocust]

Don't trust this "chef", he doesn't even wash his chicken with Lowrys seasoned soap. Also, his smoke detector isn't chirping, so it clearly isn't working.

[@lesdaddy912]

I LOOOVE Monday, because it's "Hello there fwends.." time! Thank you, Chef Jeane-Pierre and Jack, for all you give us. God bless.

[@mariavillela8065]

Chef Jean-Pierre! You’re amazing! Love to watch you cooking you a great chef and very funny!!

[@bartomand3681]

Jack - the production quality just keeps getting better and better! Keep up the fantastic work. You make Chef look good! Don't be shy, get on the camera, even if its just to try the food.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

🙏❤️ Thank you very much! 🙏❤️

Jack is chained to the radiator in the corner to keep him from attacking the food

[@wileyhuntjr5152]

Even when Chef makes something I won't eat (which isn't offten), I will watch him cook it because he is a true American treasure. God bless him.

[@lynnettespolitics9656]

Me too! I hate lamb, tomato based pasta, fish...I know, what's wrong with me? But I wouldn't miss his show because I still learn something!

[@nukeengineer5214]

merci beaucoup

[@markmower6507]

I love Acorn and Butternut Squash. But I simply roast it with roasted garlic and shallots and add Good Fresh Ground Salt and Peppercorn medley, some Fresh Herbs like Thyme and Mexican Oregano and Good Butter, like KerryGold Butter and top it with Really Good Expensive Smoked Cheese, like Aged Smoked Cheddar, Smoked Gruyere and if the Budget is looking good some Stilton...

[@rebeccamcgraw5318]

Jack, you crack me up with your suttle humor (5:26)! Jean Pierre, you crack me up with your over-the-top jestures and sideline comments. Yours is truly most fun, educational,practical, and entertaining cooking channel I have ever watched!

i cant express how important it is to have a good seareated knife

[@susanbrown4891]

We love you, Chef Jean-Pierre. Wonderful winter soup recipe. 😊 Happy Holidays, Chef. 🎄🦃

[@jaradonly]

Thank you chef for this video and this amazing channel. What I like about you is your personality, I mean being yourself and make mistakes and laugh about them without being too serious and formal.

[@billwatters4833]

Dear Chef, We must be telepathic. This morning I noticed a butternut squash in my vegetable locker. It's been there for months, I think I had planned a curry with it. Today I was going to make a prezzamole and fagioli soup but I had some leeks, no carrots so I used the squash to make a rich creamy soup. I whizzed it up and added cream with cayenne. I'm going to start this evening's meal with a liquid aperitif first.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

👍👍👍❤️

[@stepenskowron6085]

I have a tip for you! I have been baking acorn squash with butter for years and this is the way you can cut it in half. First I use my chefs knife so no sawing is needed. Take a slice off the bottom so it will sit flat on the cutting board with the stem is pointing up. Angle the blade slightly beside the stem so the finish of the cut will be somewhere off center at the bottom, start the cut by moving the knife in a rocking motion while pushing on both ends of the knife and once you get the cut started it is very easy to finish the cut. Seriously try this it works like a charm. Use an ice-cream scoop to remove the seeds. Once you do a few it gets easier.

[@oregonsnob31]

Yay! A great way to wake up here in the PNW w Chef

[@Admiral86Untidy]

I want that huge immersion blender 👀

[@Lulis56]

I have no intention of making this soup as I’m not a fan of squash but I love your videos so much I watched the whole thing just to laugh! Thanks chef, I do have to admit it looks yummy! Don’t burn yourself!

[@ChefJeanPierre]

Haha! I appreciate your support! 🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@forteandblues]

Imagining chef JP listing to “just a little bit” by 50 cent makes me laugh. He is just so wholesome.

[@AjArpopP52]

Chef, I think you do a great job. I don’t think I would attempt a lot of these recipes if it wasn’t for you. So it’s ok to, as you call it, mess up. You’re a great teacher. Thank you 😊

We grew acorn squash in our garden for the first time this year, we love it! 😋🤪☺️✝️🇺🇸

[@spamcan9208]

Looks like the perfect dish to warm you up on a cold and snowy day here in New England. Especially after clearing the driveway and digging the cars out. Not only are you tired and freezing, you're starving!

[@suzannevega2289]

I like the seeds, I roast them the same way as I would pumpkin seeds. yum!

[@patricialavery8270]

The seeds can be roasted the same way as pumpkin seeds.I would suggest flipping the squash halves into a bowl and scooping the cooked flesh out.I have grown and dealt with alot of winter squash.Kabochas are real beast to cut.This looks delicious.I will have to get stuff together and try it.

[@chrispappas4097]

I made this along with the Jalapeno Cheddar Cornbread and took it to my mother's house. She poured the soup over the cornbread and devoured them both along with some of the maple bourbon. 😃 Chef, you are an inspiration!

[@ChefJeanPierre]

🙏❤️ That is so awesome to hear! Take good care of your mom and enjoy every minute you have with her!!!❤️👍

I made your potato bread for my parents (they are both in their 80s) and they absolutely loved it! Next stop, acorn squash soup 💕🤗 Thank you Chef, for giving us such gorgeous recipes. I am a widow, and I haven’t much wanted to cook lately, what fun is it to cook for one? Well, I can cook for my family, and that brings me joy. Much love to you and Jack (my nephew is named Jack, but I’ve always called him my rabbit 😂) Anyway, just wanted to say you and your crew are AMAZING Chef. Much love from middle Tennessee ❤

[@TJSMadDetailing]

Hi Chef, I like where you are always good at making complicating dishes and convert them to make them seem much simpler but still more delicious. But you always find interesting ways to add butter 🧈🧈🧈to everything which is great. Like Chef Jean Pierre always says “Butter is good for you”. Keep up the great work

Cutting an acorn squash is something I miss every time Jean Pierre! So you make me feel better about it now hahaha!

[@garryhammond3117]

Thanks Chef - Fall soups are the best - Cheers!

Squash seeds great for a lot of things!! They are nutritious and delicious, roasted for about 25-20 minutes at 375-400, with salt and olive oil.

made this today. usually i use kabocha squash but this was spectacular. i didn't realize that i was out of sage so i subbed margoram. i also had to use apple brandy at the end and it was brilliant. my other sub was yogurt for sour cream and it was also friggin' brilliant. it did take all day, but now i have soup for 17 years in my freezer! Bless you chef for all that you do to make this hard world a yummier place. you warm my heart.

Just love you Chef JP. BTW my chickens love squash seeds.

[@mrlarry999]

It’s subtle, but there are so many lessons in this video on how to become a better chef! 👍🏼👍🏼 *I could use my regular immersion blender, but I’ll use the one I call my outboard motor! “🤣 (Something like that)

[@fooyung1987]

Made this with butternut squash and whatever else I had on hand. The result was absolutely amazing! Thx Chef!!!

[@CrisperPoet]

The day you uploaded this my stepdad mentioned how his late mother would make roast acorn squash as a kid and it was the best thing. So when I came home and saw this recipe video I knew I had to make it. There's just one thing I'm confused about, how do you manage to get the squash into the soup without eating it? I had something like 2 pounds more squash than the recipe called for (they were HUGE, size of your head!) So I set some of the roasted acorn squash aside as a snack while I waited for the soup to simmer and it was amazing, and I only used salt, pepper and regular vegetable oil, no fancy garlic infused anything. I feel like I gotta make up for time lost looking at acorn squash like they're ornamental, fool that I was!

I read the title as "acorn _AND_ squash soup" and was fascinated how you were going to incorporate those two together. I've done things with acorns before. They only really shine as an ingredient when they're made into flour.

[@jerryodell1168]

Mother had a soup game: " Stone Soup ". During the harvest season She would put a very clean, safe stone in a pot and tell us it was lonely in there and the soup would not taste good with just water and a stone. It needs stuff from the garden. We would do a vegetable treasure hunt finding vegetables etc., then we would clean, and prepare them. She would take out the stone, add seasoning and meat if She desired. Always great fun and always came out wonderful served with fresh baked bread, biscuits, or cornbread. " Fragrance of Memory "

[@ChefJeanPierre]

That's a beautiful story - I love the idea of the vegetable treasure hunt. 🙏❤️

[@overripe]

I love your videos and recepies Jean-Pierre. I'll try this one, as butternut squash with coriander soup is one of my favourites. I cook the whole squash in an oven for 20 minutes first, then it cuts quite easily, and is not mushy. I've never seen an Acorn squash before. Look forward to making this.

[@bethehole]

We just made the butternut squash last night! Delicious! A week hardly goes by that I don't use several of your techniques for sauces, etc. So happy that you share your knowledge with us all. Have a great week

[@BruceEEvans1]

I went to the tool store (Harbor Freight) and bought a 5 dollar machete. A BIG knife about 18 inches long and that is what I use to cut watermelons and butternut squash in half. You can use both hands but be careful about getting your fingers under the semi-sharp blade.

[@leefrankel4191]

I love this recipe. Can’t wait to make it. 😋

[@salernolake]

Great recipe chef! However I must take issue with your dismissal of the squash seeds. I clean them, season them, and then roast them in the oven. Delicious and nutritious! 😋o

[@brendawatsoninsurance]

Chef John I logged in just for you today. Love your videos by the way and watch as often as I can. Anyway, had to tell you, this morning I made a version of this based on your video. I make butternut squash soup in large batches and freeze in servings for the winter for hubby and I, it's just the two of us know so freezing has become my friend. Anyway, this morning I took a butternut squash, a very large sweet potato, and the rest of your ingredients ( I never used the rest before except onion and roasted garlic). Half way through blending I remembered I have Chipolet in adobe sauce so I added a couple and some sauce....... OH MY WORD, TOOK IT UP A NOTCH. If you haven't tried it you should, IT'S DELICOUS. Can't wait for a snowy day to heat this up with some spicey italian sausage balls and my regular toppings (green onion, pumkin and sunflower seeds, a drizzle of good olive oil and roasted cauliflower).

[@andreacarr909]

Wish I had a boat motor 😂 Soup looks amazing ❤
