Nice save, Chef! You are the Dr. Who of this cheesy broccoli stew.

[@lafinitryder]

Suzanne Baruch 😂yes!!

[@AntoniasNails]

Suzanne Baruch nice 👍

[@horatioswrld]

This is why I love you Jon. You easily could have edited this to make it seem like you are perfect everytime but instead you let us not only learn from the mistake but appreciate how you got from error to success.

[@athickie]

lmao I died of laughter when you said the first batch was terrible. I not only love this channel for your sense of humor, (obviously), but also for how brutally honest you are with all your recipes subbie 4 life!!

[@RuToob]

I once cooked a pot of gooey starch, because I thought you could simmer spaghetti noodles low and slow. This year during the holidays, I noticed people were actually excited that I was cooking. It was a surprise to me, and it felt very good! I've come a long way, thanks to you Chef John. :-)

[@SmokyRibsBBQ]

The thicker version looked like gourmet baby food, and from your reaction, it possibly tasted like it. Glad you left that part in, and explained how to fix it, since many people would end up with the same results if they tried this. The thinner version looked excellent, and good point on using bite size croutons. Also love the mix of cheeses you used. Love your videos!!!!

[@Sebastopolmark]

Thanks for showing the whole video. This is a perfect example of how to "stay with it" to achieve the desired results. Winner Winner - Broccoli Soup for Dinner!!!

[@sempre_avanti_01]

Soup too thick? Then call it a dip! Then slowly look over your shoulder to make sure no one heard you say soup.

[@paulantntte]

After watching this, I opened a can of cream of chicken soup, buttered and toasted some bread, got my pack of sliced "cheese", put it in a stainless steel bowl and popped it in the oven. I feel so gourmet.

[@mattdickey2717]

Best channel on KZbin. Please don't ever stop making videos.

[@ricdwe]

I appreciate the educational purpose of your videos like this one, Chef John. You never needed to show corrections or a remake, just final results. But there was a lesson to be taught. Thanks.

[@ironox8480]

I want to thank you for all the recipes. I can now cook foods people will eat.

[@marrkk111]

I always get so excited when I see that you've posted another video. Your recipes are always so amazing, and watching you cook always convinces me that cooking isn't as complicated as we novice cooks are afraid it is. I love when you show us your mistakes too - it reminds me of myself in the kitchen attempting new things. It's hard to describe a cooking video as inspirational, but your cooking videos are inspirational. Thank u Chef John

[@MelanieOh]

fascinating to see how you fail. I learned a lot this way. thanks, chef!

[@SuzanneBaruch]

Agreed. This is what separates the TRUE teachers from the showoffs.

[@saf2127]

Eric O agreed! I like that he's not afraid to show us his mistakes, and walk through his thought process in improving them.

[@Azucc5]

I kinda like how you still showed your mistakes in the video, its cool because it shows that even a chef like you isnt perfect and we mess up but dont stop filming because the show must go on!

[@user-xw8fn9bi5j]

oh my gosh its so nice to see such a skilled chef fail and then try again with such good results thank you chef jon

[@bortmaximus]

One thing to really love about your methodology is you include some of your failures and admissions of imperfect successes. It definitely helps us kitchen neophytes who really don't know a lot about what we're doing or how it's supposed to turn out.

[@tulsaTMR]

What I love about your videos is how transparent you are with your experimentation, your mistakes, and your results. And of course you have a golden voice. Thanks for the recipe!

[@yangdaxie6752]

posting videos of fails just makes chef john more awesome.

I want chef jon to narrate my life.

[@jonlivington9179]

It is everyone's dream, dear.

[@jonlivington9179]

Adam Fuzzybutt He's not everyone's cup of tea. I personally like his voice, it makes the execution of the jokes so much better. Go watch his older stuff, from like 2007 - he has a much deeper voice in those videos.

[@robjnixon]

Either way thick or thin it looks delicious 👌🏼

[@9737asdfghjkl]

I'm vegan, can I replace the cheese with dirt or sand?

[@SuzanneBaruch]

Just use the "Parmesan" in that green can. As we all know, there's no actual cheese in there anyway.

[@Clairevoyante]

That made my day. Thank you dear!

[@comock]

9737asdfghjkl clay most likely has the same texture as cheese.

[@LaviniaDeMortalium]

I recommend mummy dust, personally.

[@nothingheard]

That's nature cruelty. just don't eat!

[@MasterMaulz419]

been watching this channel for a long time and he still kills me . this guy knows humor

[@andichua9007]

The only food channel that show you how we may potentially failed and saved the meal.

[@JeffKeenerRCJH]

I had a comment but I can't see through my tear!! Too funny!! Love the Dan Fouts reference...appropriate for the way you "Charged" ahead to save the soup!

[@psych101436]

Love that you showed your mistake and your solution. Thanks for being human!

[@leviatordelaney1167]

The thick one actually looked tastier to me. But I'm also the type who breaks like six-seven crackers into soup. Possibly more. Definitely more.

[@balduccirichard]

Man I love thick soups, both look awesome to me

[@ameakter3927]

I loved that you were so honest and showed you are human no matter what!! love you chef

[@dianehutchinson9257]

Chef John, I love you! I love your food, I love your humor, I love your disdain for vegetable stock, whatever that is.

[@MamaMittens]

You said the first one was terrible but I still would have eaten every.last.bit! 😄

[@NickyKnickerson]

Never let the food win.

[@tybo09]

"...you can use veggie stock, whatever that is." I want to hug you through the KZbins! :D

[@castorellacastor3220]

The first bowl of soup looked amazing... to me any way 😛 I will certainly try this tomorrow. I love your channel

[@boberikson1242]

6:08 I don't know why maybe because I wasn't expecting it, but the way you said that was so hilarious.

[@amandagotter]

2 Recipes in 1!! a starter to a broccoli dip and a broccoli soup!!! YESH!!!

[@commentman1911]

i like the way you cook because you give good tips and tricks and aren't afraid to make and admit mistakes

[@mrs.w5539]

Thankyou! I like when you show the mess ups, it helps us avoid it.

[@terrancejones8192]

Thank you for showing the mistake and giving a recommended correction. Tried it with your third suggestion, more chicken stock, and cubed day old French bread with the cheese on top and liked the results.

[@rogerlowry3276]

always honest in you after action report. failure = learning moment. Thanks!

[@DanteTing]

I personally prefer thicker soups. Thanks for the recipe!

[@Nygge1982]

wow, i always learn something new from chef john. today i learn i can chop up and eat the broccoli stem.... i used to throw that away

[@cof6655]

Oh mon Dieu! cela à l'air tellement délicieux!

[@YariePerez]

Love ur honesty. 2nd version looks amazing! Thanx 💕❤️👍🏽

[@pahanin2480]

It's 3 degrees Fahrenheit outside here in lovely Wisconsin, where 90% of the Wisconsinite diet consist of beer, cheese, bratwurst sausages, and the Green Bay Packers. As I am also a broccoli lover, this soup looks delicious and totally perfect for consumption in Wisconsin on a bone chilling day. I am convinced Chef John is secretly a cheese loving Wisconsinite that enjoys good micro brew beer and loves the Green Bay Packers.

[@delicatedark2376]

Waiting for the day chef John will respond!

[@foodwishes]

Keep waiting.

[@meangrl4evr365]

Food Wishes 😂😂😂😂

[@Thehairysoap]

God speaks.

[@LeeLooface]

He's so sassy! lol

[@Seventeen_Syllables]

He is the Calvin Coolidge of building a commentary bridge.

[@Logan001]

Glad that you let this be a learning experience and more so that you shared the mistake with us! This was sure to happen to some one and now we have an idea how to prevent "broccoli bread pudding".

[@Richard_is_cool]

Thaaanks Chef. My next food wishes: 1. cheese soup with crutons and broccoli toppings 2. bread soup with stale broccoli and cheese topping 3. bread soup with stale cheese and broccoli toppings 4. cheese soup with stale broccoli and melted bread And as aaalways, enjoyyy!!

[@nevie1172]

I would try this without blending the soup, or maybe just blending a portion of it. I thought it was strange when he blended it, I prefer broccoli soups to have broccoli chunks in it.

[@GigiTally]

I love that you shared this with us. If you are new to cooking you can think a mistake is a big deal but it is not and we all make them.

[@heinkristen1]

i love that you put the video on anyway and everyone can see that even someone as skilled as you are can still make mistakes. :)

[@gupbernard]

love how he narrates his fail but still keeps his tone of voice calmly lol

[@cherryboo65b56]

Lesson learned : Don't become despondent, over a Broccoli And Cheese au gratin!

[@MzValerie]

Well. I like really thick soups, I guess you wouldn't call it a soup any more. It looked delicious . The second version Looked awesome as well.

[@TheRealDrCube]

Awesome video Chef! I really appreciate videos like this, where you show some problems you ran into that might not seem obvious, rather than just redoing it the "right" way using the magic of editing.

[@datdudeoverthere1040]

No views and 1 like. That's when you know you're good.

[@mike8989ful]

Most would have re shot the video, but I like chef John learn from my mistakes so I respect that he can admit to a mistakes...

[@MatthewPaul.]

Chef John spoil's us with all these delicious recipes ☺️

[@sydneyca]

I prefer thicker soups so that one looked better to me.

[@MsTaraVlogs]

I have had to save many dishes, so it was so nice to see that mistakes happen and lessons are learnt. After the amazing experience with your potato leek soup, I'm looking forward to trying other cream soups. Cheers Chef John!

[@jimmie200]

They both look delicious, Chef John. Always the professional.

[@TheAmalys30]

I actually want to try to thicker version 😀😋🍜 looks yummy to me.

[@ianzthingz1]

Nice one Chef, Just making a batch of my Broccoli & Stilton soup mmmmm :)

[@arlynnoel]

Well, Chef, don't feel bad. You salvaged the operation with no waste. A little time was all that was lost. You tried, erred, corrected and saved us the trouble.

[@zanesmith666]

7 minutes! So close I've practically met chef John, and by practically I mean not actually at all.

[@SodaPopJX]

zanesmith666 why the heck did I read this in chef Johns voice

[@callmewaves1160]

SodaPopJX I did too!😂

[@buttercupbill1701]

+SodaPopJX wow yeah me too

[@golden1302]

That sounds really good. I might try it with cauliflower, or a mixture of both.

[@woogie6785]

Great video as usual chef! =] I had a question and was hoping you would be willing to help. I'm looking to buy new pots and pans and wondering what brands you'd recommend for stainless steel as well as non-stick. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

[@AAB6432]

Love the video, thanks for adding your mishaps. We all need to see that.

[@TisTheoCapable]

chef john still killin it. Gonna try this tomorrow with the small croutons, and maybe a little less broccoli. Very excited.

[@tatatati2931]

I loved it because you didn't give up!! Yes!!!

[@kberken]

This is almost exactly how I make this soup too but I love the au gratin top. However, I have added lemon pepper instead of the plain pepper and it's fantastic! Plus I did see you double dip but who cares, it's your soup after all!

[@Gquebbqco]

I was in Winter Park CO yesterday and it was minus 15 degrees. What I wouldnt do for a bowl of this yesterday or today for that matter :)

[@alexlove6144]

I love that you show your mistakes. It is very encouraging!

[@Objection202]

Chef John love the video, I have a food wish back from the old bistro I used to work at. Garides saganaki was hands down the best item on the menu and I always gave it to new comers, and id love to see your rendition

[@brentmeister1072]

Appreciate you humbly showing a struggle... thanks

[@Charlie-wq1gi]

It's good to see you show some of your "SEMI mistakes". Makes me feel almost not as bad when I screw something up. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@i0606]

Something I've been wondering for a while is why we don't want the garlic to brown at all in these recipes. Isn't toasted/roasted garlic pretty delicious? Just wondering, thanks.

[@ribtickler]

Yum!! Love this type of soup......easy and quick.

[@jmarylastone]

oh but the thick one looked good too!

[@yourmexicanfriend550]

Chef, you ever cease to amaze me! Keep it up!

[@Bearrden]

This is the best video you've made. Laughed do hard!

[@romananijman5557]

Looks great!!! I actually like thick broccoli soup 😊

[@pop9095]

Not sure if I enjoy the skill you show or the cadence and tone changes in your voice more. Either way thanks Chef, you are doing it right as far as I can tell.

[@RandomTorok]

I made broccoli cheese soup last night. Tonight it becomes the base for my mac and cheese.

[@kiwicov]

love that you kept the mistake in

[@maiadixon2501]

Well. I thought the first version looked beautiful and delish!

[@evahamrick3282]

How about leaving some of the broccoli in pieces, about 1/3 ? French onion soup has pieces of onion. There's a restaurant that makes homemade croutons like for salad to put in the French onion soup. Very good. Love the site gives me good ideas.

[@manelgamadone7556]

Thank you chef. It is a nice recipie.

[@Mossydeerbones]

But thick soup is gorgeous!!

[@shirleyquast1477]

Love your sense of humour.

[@Wingedshadowwolf]

Stick blenders are wonderful for this kind of thing!

[@Wingedshadowwolf]

I know presentation is important, but if it tastes good, you're doing good!

[@intrepidnick2939]

I love you Chef John and here's to 2017 being our best year. :)

[@edgedjbob]

It's a great Idea may I suggest if it is better if the cheese was melted by a torch or use a cheese that melts quicker so the croutons will still have a little crunch.

[@beansieopiela4777]

That twist was so good I thought M. Night Shyamalan directed this. Looks good. It's like a deconstructed broccoli cheese soup with a crouton

[@Kimy31268]

Yummy!!! ❤️😀👍🏻 My Joey makes homemade pancakes all the time. But this morning while I was on the couch. I heard your voice!!! Joey had you on KZbin following YOUR recipe!!! Haha. I love it!!!

[@OmegaGamingNetwork]

I'll give this a try even though I've never been a huge fan of Broccoli soup. I mean I really like Broccoli but soup is sort of a "meh" area for me. That said, I will try it. I was unsure about the peruvian turkey and that ended up converting me from "tolerating" turkey for the holidays to full blown loving it or at least that version. That and being honest my sister bought me my first real quality knife for christmas and I'm just looking for excuses to chop things.

[@LooterLoser]

Chef John blew a 3-1 lead.

[@vonversace]

Looter lol
