​@ChefJeanPierre *Hello chef! Do you have any Indian spicy recipes? I have only just found your channel 😂*

[@jeanniebrooks]

@@ZS-mx6qxMost chefs do what they grew up with, what their descendants cooked, their grandmothers, grandfathers…..Jean Paul knows and loves French and Italian, and that’s where he came from and that’s what he loves. People cook best what they love …. Why ask him for something he has no experience in ?

It's never easy for a professional to admit to getting anything wrong. That's one of the many reasons I absolutely love Chef JP, he is a lesson in humility, humor and simply a joy to watch. Love him ❤

[@Haka-f3k-u]

That has nothing to do with being a professional, and i've met many who readily admit to making a mistake and then correcting or explaining why it doesn't need to be fixed. I think you're projecting.

I swear Chef Jean Pierre must be the Bob Ross of cooking - he may not sport an Afro and he‘s certainly not beating the devil out of his ladles, but every episode is so full of fun and so very educational every time ❤

Dear Chef Jean-Pierre, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for this recipe. I've been waiting for your take on it since I started watching your cooking channel over 1½ years ago. My mom, who trained as a chef in Vienna, Austria, made a lovely chicken soup with liver dumplings. However, not being a big fan of liver, I eventually convinced her to cook Italian Wedding Soup instead. I have beautiful memories of cooking that soup & other recipes with her before her passing over three years ago. Thank you again for all that you do. You're very appreciated!!! A devoted follower from Canada 🇨🇦 😊

[@flarican64]

[@alfredopiacentini7471]

Hello from Rocca di Papa (near Rome), chef! je-ne-sais-quoi in italian is "un certo non so che". Is the italian for "I don't know what". We use it exactly like they do in France. The pronunciation is like you say all sticked together "un certo nonsocchè"! ❤

[@ireneposti6813]

I love this soup, I make it often. I make my meat balls much smaller. It takes time to roll them by hand but I like them smaller so it pays off.

[@ireneposti6813]

I also bake my meatballs 😅

[@cyndifoore7743]

Looks delicious! I need to make my wedding soup soon. It is a tradition here in western Pennsylvania and eastern Ohio. I use spinach and acini de peppi. And everyone here makes beef meatballs about the size of the tip of your little finger. It has a chicken broth and some shredded chicken in it, also a little shredded carrot.As it cooks you have a stalk of celery in it that is removed later. Most people use escarole but I put baby spinach in mine.

Oh my gosh I’m so excited to learn how to make this soup! God bless you and your team. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your enthusiasm and experience with us. ❤

[@Bob-b7x6v]

This is the superior wedding soup...

[@jamescaron6465]

My first wife, god rest her soul. was first generation and made the best wedding soup. She would brown the chicken and pressure cook the carcass to get all the gelatin out of it. If you can't get escarole (some call it chicory) you can also use endive or baby spinach. If you put an egg in your meatballs, they will hold up better.

[@oizukitom]

Chef, you had me rolling with laughter during this video. When the occasion calls for it, we add fried dough balls (dumplings.) They are maybe twice the size of a pencil eraser. Fry to a golden brown in olive oil or butter. Add to bowls/cups of soup at serving time. They are dense and have a little crunch. Jack great timing on the pop-ups. I never miss a video.

[@thinkofsomethingcooler]

Do you use a zeppole dough or a strufoli dough (sweeter) or a pasta dough for those dumplings? I’ve not heard this! Love it! The size and crunch sounds like a strufoli crouton! Wow 😮 yummy 😋

[@oizukitom]

@@thinkofsomethingcooler Hi. I apologize for my late reply. Pasta dough. 1:1 egg to cup flour. Nothing special. Roll your dough into snakes. When you cut your dough balls down to size, try a dull edge utensil. Cut the dough and pinch the end shut at the same time. Let them dry. Give them a saute in olive oil to a light golden brown. I think Chef might say use "butter." I had to look up a photo of struffoli crouton, they look amazing! These dough balls have the texture of a dense pasta. You get crunch for sure.

[@thinkofsomethingcooler]

@@oizukitom thank you so much for your reply. Sorry about the delay Easter Week can be busy. :)) This post fueled food conversations with family for days, everyone giving opinions as to how best to make your pasta. We also made struffoli this week and I thought of you and whether or not you’d tried it. There’s a good video on this channel for it if I’m not mistaken. And embarrassingly I’d like to add I’d never thought of my doughs in egg flour ratios before, always following recipes as if by rote memorization. This makes so much sense! It definitely helps with the shopping too. So thank you doubly!

[@Bob-b7x6v]

I watched Justin Wilson on PBS with my dad. Good times.

[@1949chefjojo]

I follow your recipes and want every one for my international family palate. Thank you 🙏

[@richardcorsillo9819]

Yeah Chef, Italian-American creations are in their own group of cuisine. Wonderful how our people stepped up when they came to America. The food creations sometimes came out of necessity, sometimes out of new traditions, but sometimes they are marriages between other cultures. For example, sausage stuffed banana peppers are on every italian menu in Cleveland, and that was created because of Hungarian immigration mixed with sicilians/italian.

This made me smile. 😊Everyone can enjoy Wedding Soup it’s a marriage of flavors (usually beef, chicken or veal, and pork in the meatballs) not a flavor for marriage. Enjoy! God Bless and Good Eating 🥣

[@jeanniebrooks]

This is not made to serve at Italian (or any) weddings. “Wedding” refers to a wedding or marriage of flavors. Anyone can make it for any occasion, probably just a family dinner, maybe a Sunday soup. Traditionally, they were made with half inch meatballs bc meat was too expensive for the peasants and country folks. Some Italian Grandmas have said they only served it on Sundays. (Per PBS America’s Test Kitchen Italian Grandmothers series.)

[@thinkofsomethingcooler]

@@jeanniebrooks source => an Italian it is made with tiny meatballs bc it’s not matzoh ball soup! 😂 How would you fit soup in a soup bowl with regular sized meatballs? What do you eat out of? 😂 And no one ever ever never made it for Sunday meal. That’s pasta with an assortment of meat. I wonder why all US documentaries focus on the word “peasant” when much of Italian cuisine dates back to Ancient Rome and has changed very little (Source:: Culinary Arts Institute) it’s as if ppl will only eat things if they think very poor people had to “settle” for it. Anyone who eats this soup is very fortunate and it’s not cheap to make either. PBS used to be factual 😂 My guess is this dates back to WWII propaganda and ppl just repeated through the ages. I never heard it before bc it’s simply not true. Are you implying the dish was invented bc they couldn’t afford meatballs? There’s a ton of tiny meatballs in it! It’s made with 3 meats! Do you claim the same for Swedish meatballs? Why are they small? What about finger sandwiches at tea time? Is this because they couldn’t afford six inch subs? Do you see how you shouldn’t trust everything you hear? I mean it’s actually preposterous. Just bc something was provincial doesn’t mean “poor”. And finally while Italians tend to eat more than most, Europeans don’t eat the Super Sized portions Americans do, so using American tv culture or America’s Test Kitchen as a guide is not very wise. They eat a small amount of many courses.
