Have you basically turned into a black bean?

[@esthermelchor9681]

She came back after seven years then disappeared.

[@kelath5555]

@@rax816 I am a bean-based life form now (soup is simmering as I type). A lot of Chef John's recipes are now staples. I recommend this and corn pudding to bring to potlucks and gatherings.

I look forward to these videos ALL the time. I am an aspiring chef who is currently 18 years old and all i do is cook. I love it more than anything. I wake up In the morning and think all day at school what I am going to make for dinner that might for my family. Often these videos are what we end up making for dinner. And by the way Chef John, your spinach artichoke dip is the bomb!

[@markofcain]

Did you make it? Are you a chef?

[@housewife3]

Good luck to you! Lol

[@joanies6778]

More belly laughs in this video than any other to date. OMG. You are a treasure, Chef John!

[@TomTheTruckdriver]

You are a treasure, chef! Inspired me to try lots of new things.

[@godgivennutrition2263]

Great recipe! I made this for dinner tonight. To stretch it for my family I spooned it over rice, a little sour cream too refreshing!

[@NewfieLawNerd]

From what I can remember from my grandmother cooking, the amount of spaghetti that can fit in the hole of the spoon is 2 servings

[@crabbymagnolia6035]

Love the laughs...and the recipes are great.

[@calebbrown4612]

Dang, didn't expect this recipe to crack my top 5 chef john recipes, yet here we are. Amazing.

[@girlgonefishing1971]

Hi Chef John! We've been making this for the last few months.. this is the BEST recipe and super easy!! The only difference we do us we add a LOT more cilantro and stock instead of broth, and skip the cayenne, double the cumin. My husband has mastered this dish, and since it's one of my favorites, I win!! THANK YOU for your video's!!

[@Nataloff]

You make KZbin recipes fun to watch. Thank you for remembering that food is fun.

[@WendyBanner]

The hole in the spoon helps with texture of the sauces and makes stirring easier. This looks like a great winter meal. Can't wait to try it!

[@theblackcrowe]

Another great recipe, Chef John! The bacon and smashing half of the beans makes all the difference! That relish also rocks! Thank you!!

[@harrypoter6591]

thank you, chef, i can't express how much i love your channel and how much you've been a joy to watch through the years. Lots of love, a viewer from Kuwait.

[@sheilamore3261]

Yes now that’s my kind of cooking that looks delicious I’ve got to try this

[@tbirdlew]

I watched this video last night and ran out and bought the few things I needed and made it. Absolutely delicious; the whole family loved it! Thanks for another great staple recipe!

[@Teayana]

Made this for a snow day. The lime and green onions with the sour cream really make this an excellent soup. Very yummy!

[@mrfiesty505]

Delicious Chef John!! I make the same soup but I use slow cooked smoked ham hocks and when the meat falls off the bones i use that instead of bacon!! good variety!! Kudos to you chef!!

[@sheilaarp6453]

Looks fantastic I might put diced avacodo on top because I love avacodos.i love all your dishes thank you for sharing

[@randyattwood]

Had a can of black beans in the pantry that I couldn't remember why I bought and didn't know how to use so I did a search on your site and there it was! Did this for lunch today and it was great! Thanks. I'll be buying more cans of black beans.

[@rhondamarlnee832]

Made this last night...YUM!! Will be making it again soon and sharing it with all my friends.

[@sheilamore3261]

Wow that looks delicious I need to try this😋

[@dawnmassey2797]

Used this recipe to base mine on last night. So good I can't let it go today. So cold here that it is all I can think about. I only ate half as eating two cans of bean seemed like a bad plan. Hard not to keep eating it. Even the cat and dog were salivating. I don't eat bacon much for my personal health issues, but added a ham seasoning flavor packet. Awesome!

[@liyenlp8996]

That was delicious!! the best we've tried, all my family loved it, even my picky young daughter!! A big THANK YOU for this recipe.

[@melodyhart1331]

I love my wooden spoons with the holes,they help blend everything so well .

[@EarthAstroGirl]

The soup was delicious on a cold rainy day. Thank u for an easy, quick recipe.

[@christinasun428]

Tried it yesterday. Tasted much better than the black bean soup in the restaurant!!!

[@historicalcookingwithcourtney]

Made this with leftover prime rib... what a treat!

[@maryargueta5607]

Guess what Chef John, I made your cauliflower soup with the bacon, just like you did and it was AMAZING. Love it, Love it. Thanks. I am always looking at your recipes and making them. Stay healthy and THANKS A MILLION FOR ALL YOU DO FOR US🌹🌹🌹

[@Dwergideon]

The pilosophy behind mashing beans, and the psychological effect of cooking-meditation... You are truly the most amazing chef ever

[@desomii]

This video not only boasts a yummy black bean soup that I love and about to make again....but it Al's feast urges in my opinion the funniest chef on KZbin!!

[@jayessX]

Third time making this soup, but I tripled it this time. Used only 9 slices of local smoked bacon (very flavorful but not too fatty) and still removed ~4T of bacon grease before adding the onions. We always use Mexican oregano (if you can find it- it's really fantastic!). Using a spider, I removed about 1/2 beans/bacon/veg and then immersion blended the soup in the pot before adding the reserved mix back in to finish simmering. We prefer a mix of chicken & vegetable broth, very little water unless it simmers down too much. This batch was made pretty much as written, until the very end (of course): We added a splash of cider vin for the final stir. About half was packed up for the week's food prep lunches. ALWAYS a flavorful and healthy soup! We use a variety of garnishes- roasted elote-style corn is my fave. If you don't like bacon... Make something else ;)

[@LarryKirkendall]

This is one of the best black bean soup recipes I've ever come across. All the other posts seem to be between 3 and 11 years old, are you still alive? Brilliant answer BTW: re the hole-in-the-spoon thing. Very clever to post the answer down in the comments like you were one of the huddled masses I would have never figured that out.

[@joyfulparadise]

Chef John u are seriously hilarious!! Love your humor in all your videos.

[@jacob112291]

"You are the boss of your black bean soup; ACT LIKE IT!" god man, your great, thank you for all the recopies and laughs! thanks!

[@clorofemully]

"you could of course use vegetable stock which you know pairs great with bacon" hahah :)

[@nineinhand]

I love your teaching of bean smashing therapy.

[@jimrassler]

Bacon and Black bean? You can't go wrong with that! Thanks for the recipe, John!

[@RachelB263]

I watched this when you first posted it and I seriously make this constantly. I like the bacon, but I leave it out a lot to save on fat. However, topping this with reduced fat bacon bits is amazing. I seriously stock up on black beans because of this soup! So yummy. Thanks Chef John!

[@pourattitude4206]

I once was poaching some eggs and had a brain fart and tossed my slotted spoon into a sink with a small mountain of dirty dishes in it. I grabbed the wooden spoon with a hole in it to fish out my eggs. It worked. That's really the only time I ever used it for a specific task. I do want to thank you for clearing up my concerns about bringing food to a potluck where vegetarians/vegans might show up. It's kinda been a worsening problem lately but thanks to your intelligent guidance I think that I will now have a lot of options that I had given up.

[@simpleliving4703]

I made this for my husband and I...we liked it very much! Awesome, thanks!

[@gemellodipriapo]

Smashing beans meditation ... pure genius! Thank you!

[@2dasimmons]

I used to have a delicious black bean soup at Grundy's @ Berkeley, CA waterfront and they garnished black bean soup with chopped boiled egg and a lemon slice. It was a delicious 1st course with the rustic bread served before the main course of Chicken Kiev. Delicious! Good memory.

[@iastorgaphotos]

Such a simple yet delicious recipe! And this video posted 11 years ago! 👍🏽🥓🤩

[@cjzanders5430]

This is one of the more thorough cooking channels. Very good job sr.

[@shaynemcallister]

My favorite black bean soup is the one I make at Thanksgiving. I smoke turkeys in my smoker, and make smoked turkey stock after we eat the meat off the bird. Smoked turkey black bean soup is the best ever.

[@bridgetosomewhere8635]

This sounds and looks great! And I want to make it exactly like Chef John down to the relish. I knew I bought those 4 cans of black beans from Walmart great value for a reason.

[@LeeLooface]

There aren't many things more comforting than a nice bean and bacon soup.

[@slam854]

Noticed a bag of Black Beans in the pantry. Soaked overnight I gave them a rinse, course chopped 1 1/2 large yellow onions, black pepper, oregano, cumin, red pepper flakes, 2 tps ea chicken & vegetable BTB Seasoning base, good shaka shaka garlic powder & 1 fire roasted dried poblano pepper. Cooked above for 45 min while shoveling snow, used immersion blender to thicken soup, blop of sour cream and I had a wonderful no meat meal. Oh, 1 bunch of green onions, whites at beginning, greens at end. Sweetness from onions was perfect.

[@suchanjv]

I will make this someday, looks great.

[@zane631]

One of the better soups I have ever made!

[@spicynomad]

instead of bacon i put dried chorizo . so good.

[@Cindy-vg9ki]

rere nomad Thanks for the suggestion!

[@KibahinaxSasuino]

that sounds so good! I was going to do smoked beef sausage because we have neither bacon nor chorizo right now. lmao.

[@izzy9132]

Thanks Chef. I stopped eating processed meats but the bacon really adds some great flavor to the black bean soup.

[@karenharris3808]

hi , I hope you are well. I made beans I did not have much to work with. Some spices . I put calantro in it, I put dry dill I bought fresh and dry and crushed it, It came out really swell . Both those things can be used in fish chowder and I would love it. happy holidays

[@jessicahsieh12]

Definitely love you humor about smashing your beans

[@carminesilverado]

I am defiantly going to do that thanks for all your recopies I am a fan

[@sandyadkins2637]

Mmm sounds good I love beans so comforting with hot buttermilk cornbread I don’t eat pork I would add maybe bison or beef thank you I enjoy so much your videos thanks for sharing the love with the world ✨💕🤗☀️🙏

[@berenthacrowder9038]

Have a can of black beans in my pantry and will be giving the recipe a try. Thanks for sharing.

[@piaarmstrong4432]

Fast and easy it was for dinner. I made corn bread to go with it. It was good over rice and I also used it for black bean burritos.

[@chionwolf]

EXCELLENT recipe! i replaced the chicken broth with french onion soup. Sprinkle your favorite cheese on top in lieu of relish. :) UNREAL how great this is!

[@stevehaynes9498]

This guy is naturally funny 😄,by the way that recipe is on point 👍💕

[@May825]

Im making this recipie right now since i have most of the ingredients!! ^.^ THANKS CHEF JOHN!!!!

[@autumn.267]

So we've been chillin' down here in Florida at currently 63 degrees - brrr! lol I thought today would be a great day to make this soup and it was dee- lish!! Thank you Chef John!:)

[@Haroldm814]

I agree with your comment but LOL at 63 and cold. I'm in Connecticut and we're still in short sleeves up here.

[@MissLatteC]

Black bean soup is great! I sometimes add a tiny bit of sugar to give it a more sweet taste, but the soup is fine on its own 😊

[@waxyTOOL]

Gotta try this one. Your instruction vid on French omelet changed my life! Peeps love my omelets. They had no idea eggs aren't rubber fodder. And as always; ENJOY!!

[@sharmj]

Ah the mindfullness of cooking. So right

[@Glaide]

Old video, but HAD to watch it having learned a similar lesson from a co worker.. The big difference is fresh jalapeno while its cooking! Adds a nice little hit.

[@theatlantean8008]

Love this guy ❤

[@pelosuelto70]

I just cooked this (as I wasn't going to go food shopping at 10pm at night) and this was absolutely delicious! Goes great with bread on the side for a light dinner! Thanks, Chef John! :)

[@ultratec66]

For any of you that think the hole in the spoon really makes a difference, you need to have your head examined! Nice recipe, I will give it a try :)

[@brandonpurple165]

12 years later and I still come back to this video to make it

[@AveIvy]

Yum yum. Looks so delicious!!

[@bluebear2301]

Made this without the bacon and it was BOMB! 👍

I soo agree with the mini meditation theory!! awesome easy recipe thank you!

[@bophreyhumgart2953]

I'd rather meditate for 10 seconds while it's in the blender.

Love it! And you too 👨‍🍳 😊👏🏻👏🏻

[@ClaireGoGoGo]

nice and yummy and healthy, thanks chef John! Just bought your cook book on Amazon, and it's awesome!

this video definitely made me crave my moms cooking! a bowl of that with a nice piece of crusty French bread....mmm mm mmm!!! fogettaboutet! thumbs up from another Cuban:)

[@IAmRachelMcCartney]

This is the greatest meal in the entire world. I add a diced red bell pepper, two diced jalapeños, and double the beans/stock/spices. Great with rice, better with cornbread.

[@withoutfurtheradoforever]

I suspect Chef John cooked this on a Sunday, hense the Holy spoon.

[@NPrinceling]

This is such good soup

[@JoanOfArcBeans]

Wow! This looks amazing. We can't wait to try it out!

I love you, Chef John.

[@MrPerla2005]

Chef John... This is badically the way we prepare our Frijoles Rancheros (in México). We always make them when we grill carne asada (fajitas). You are just missing the tomatoes. We don't add sour cream though. Delicious.

[@TrailwaysOfNYDrivers]

Chef John between you and a few other chefs on here I only trust You Jack, and a few others with recipe's everyone else just makes cooking something so simple the hardest recipe in the world

[@wade_powell]

This recipe saved my life.

[@Briantan1911]

I use one can of black beans and one can of refried black beans, you can skip the mashing step.

[@63annushka]

You are missing out on the bean smashing benefits.

[@magicalsimmy]

Genius, Brian! Thank you!

[@dhrsangria]

If you happen to have corn tortilla dough, you can add dumplings while in the final simmer! Will try your recipe, Sir. Looks yummy

[@NickMercurio]

@TotallyGraceful it's a stirring spoon. it helps the ingredients combine more evenly. good for batters and starting doughs

[@sevillavieira]

In Venezuela We always eat this too much... I Like it.
