I love Panera’s Broccoli Cheddar Soup too. That’s for sharing the recipe I’ll have to try making this soon as it’s getting colder here in East Tennessee. I live in Caryville Tn, overlooking Cove Lake State Park. It’s been a joy to watch you and your family grow up and have your own families.❤

[@Thebateskitchen]

So glad you enjoyed it! It’s so beautiful up there!

[@bowed305]

That looks like some great soup. Now if we can only get some fall temps here in central Texas so we feel like eating soup. We're still hitting mid-90s each day, so summer hasn't left yet. Might change later next week. Sure hoping so, and praying for all of those impacted by the recent storms. Thanks for the great video.

[@beckybanta126]

May we All join you in prayers for ALL storm victims. ✝️ Thank you for recipe! I am sure I will be thanking you, Chef Bates!😊 P.S. I really like the Blueland shower/body wash. Skin feels great, great scents, lasts a long time. Mostly love not adding more, unnecessary plastic to the earth & oceans.😊

[@Thebateskitchen]

So glad you are enjoying! I don’t think I would be loving soup at 90 degrees either, but hoping yall get some good soup weather soon!

This looks so good! I've never made broccoli and cheddar soup, but I see this in my future. I wish I could tell you the secret of cutting onions without crying. I do think it goes away with time because onions don't bother my eyes anymore. You do such a good job prepping, cooking and explaining as you go along.

@@Thebateskitchen I've always put my onions in the FREEZER for a few hours before chopping.Greatly reduces the tears.. Do you have any suggestions for a non-dairy "milk" for this? I do not like the taste of milk at all. And thanks for the tip about a lighter weight dutch oven!

Cheese fixes a lot of things lol!

[@Shell-s4d]

Hey Zack 👋 Pro Chef here, had to weigh on onions!!! Your knife should be razor sharp before cutting them, hit it with your steel and you should be all set! Three sided whetstone if dull. We have sharpening challenges in the kitchen, the guys can shave the hair on their arms, talk about an edge😂 like a barber shaving with a straight razor😂 I call mine good when the blade moves my fingerprints 🤷‍♀️ cuz I dont want a patch of missing arm hair😂 being a woman, I care about that😂 So.The sharp blade doesn't drag or fully rupture the "cells" of the onion you are cutting, sharp blades cut cleanly through the cells, leave less juice and it wont spray like ruptured cells. Anyways, the stuff we learn in Culinary school😂 I loooooove your channel and recipes! Great skills my friend, great communication to teach those just learning, so important! Thank you for helping them on their journey, you rock ✌

[@Thebateskitchen]

I love a sharp knife! All of mine will shave hair! (And my camp hatchet will as well 😂) the crazy thing is onions rarely give me a lot of difficulty other than the occasional strong one unless I’m filming. I don’t really understand what the difference is!

[@CoBeau29]

Another fall loving, anytime meal. Looks terrific & very delicious zach. 😋👍🏻🫶🏻

[@Thebateskitchen]

Thank you 😋

[@Lonesomelane-58]

Soup is my favorite food. Broccoli cheddar, loaded potato yum. I tried the Panera creamy tomato and I ended throwing up throwing it away and I love good tomato soup. I have started making my own bread bowls. I am a bread eater especially hot, homemade, fresh from the oven. Oh my. You are definitely a foodie. Congratulations on your channel. Been here since you started it and I have tried some of your recipes. I have watched the Bates family grow up, get engaged, married and start your own families. Your momma and daddy are such amazing parents and raising their children to be such amazing people and to have such good work ethics along with the "waste not, want not mentality. I laughed when you talked about peeling a potato and yes it's easier to cut the ends off to peel it but you are wasting those end and I can't do it. Lol. I grew up eating soup beans, corn bread and fried potatoes basically Monday thru Saturday for supper and on Sunday we had a big breakfast with biscuits, gravy, bacon, homemade sugar syrup that you would put butter on your biscuits and pour the syrup over the buttered biscuit and over medium fried eggs. For supper it would be meat pork or beef and potatoes of some kind and vegetables from the garden or that momma canned. We could have other things during the week but most weeks we preferred the beans, cornbread and fried potatoes. I grew up in West Virginia.

[@Thebateskitchen]

Thanks so much for taking the time to watch these! So glad you are enjoying them! It’s crazy the little things we remember from growing up when it comes to meals and cooking and food… so many memories

It always works, try it once and you will never do it any other way. By the way, you are doing great making these videos.

What can I use if I don't have a dutch oven? Just sautee them in a pot? I always peel my onions next to the sink with cold running water and it seems to help a bit.

As for over salting something... My grandmother always said you can add a half of potato to soak up the salt if you over salt something. I know it works with pulled pork. I'm sure it would work with other things. 💁🏼‍♀️
