Italian Wedding Soup | Chef Jean-Pierre

Chef Justin Wilson's opening: "How you'll are? I'm glad for you to see me!" Chef Jean-Piere's opening: "Well, hello there friends!" Two heartwarming classics.

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.

​@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 ?

[@neilsawyer3098]

The older I get, the more I appreciate a good soup.

[@ivomusician]

Me, too! (Too bad my daughter doesn't wanna eat soup...)

[@ACryin_Shame]

I love soup so much. Could eat a different one every day. JP couldn't have had better timing, I made meatball sandwiches yesterday. Now I know what will happen to the left over meatballs

[@shaggydogg630]

Me as well. I seek out these Chef Jean Pierre gems.

[@harrietharlow9929]

Same here!

[@JohannSwart_JWS]

The Portugeuse eat soup every day, as part of their meals. Married to one, I got used to that. Now I can't live without it. Simple soups, yet delicious and healthy.

[@McCavity2]

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 ❤

[@safemnt]

It’d be hilarious if he wears a Bob Ross wig. 😂

[@gd-dx6og]

Jean-Pierre, I like that you don't hide your mistakes but you use them as a teaching method, bravo Chef!

[@gd-dx6og]

We are so lucky to have one of the best instructors around, he's funny, a great chef and an excellent teacher. Again, BRAVO Chef!

[@thinkofsomethingcooler]

I love this too. I think it’s just as important to learn how to fix a recipe and at what point you can do the fixes as it is to learn the cooking basics

[@bigslim492]

Chef I have said this before but just in case no one has told you yet today you are the BEST. Thank you for all the great recipes and videos. Have a great week.

[@tomxavier4328]

I remember Justin Wilson. Thanks for the revisit to my younger days watching PBS with my parents. You are just as inspiring chef Jean-Pierre.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

[@JDLuke]

I ga-ron-tee I'll be making this one.

[@curiouslyme524]

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]

I need that liver dumplings recipe😃 I love liver.

[@peggyw172]

[@bearpawz_]

Hope you feel better soon Peggy! 🥣

[@MrKevin486]

I make my version of this at my restaurant every so often and the guests go insane for it! Its a super underrated soup. I usually sell out of it almost as fast as I made it! Great recipe Chef! 👌

[@dopeymark]

Literally in my top five of all soups. Justin Wilson was hilarious. "Add some wine... maybe a little more wine".

[@zig6234]

I am proud of my soup making abilities and have a good Wedding soup recipe, so almost didn't watch the video, but decided to anyway. In the first two minutes I had a smile on my face and a couple new ideas to try. Thanks Chef.

[@marknova8704]

Ok....referencing Justin Wilson brought back great memories of watching him on PBS with my father when I was a little kid. Thanks again Chef!! HOOOOOOOOWEEEEEE!!

[@onewaydown]

An Italian/French chef doing a creole accent - didn't expect to ever see that. Justin and Martin Yan were both a huge part of my growing up. My parents had both their cookbooks and shows on a lot.

[@ACryin_Shame]

Isn't creole french?

[@onewaydown]

Derived from, yeah. Maybe "Cajun" might have been the better word to use. =) I don't know if Justin Wilson actually spoke creole. To me, I roll all them together as that Louisiana Cajun speak.

[@georgezimmerman1490]

​@@onewaydown yeah, couple that with how much has just become so intertwined down there between the two, they are almost synonymous. But there is still a difference between the two.

[@happycommentator6773]

Justin Wilson and the Yan Can Cook were definitely part of my growing up in the 80's.

[@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"! ❤

[@oddopops1327]

We loved watching Justin Wilson!..... "I Guarantee!"😎

[@chantalcormier5789]

Hello Jean Pierre, that's a great idea with the meatballs you make cooking fun I adore you🥰 thanks for sharing ❤ Chantal

This is my favorite soup! I have been dying to find a recipe! What a better place than with my favorite chef!! 😊

[@danieldevite668]

I love your channel! Great recipes! You put a smile on my face when I watch 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.

[@ChefJeanPierre]

👍👍👍😊

[@tula1433]

That’s the way it should be! We used to TRADE! Cultures coming together and trading products and recipes without getting offended! ❤

When I was a child my Mother taught me how to make this. It was her favorite Soup...

[@marioncapriotti1514]

I love Chef Jean-Pierre because he's not only an amazing chef, he's also one of the funniest, goofiest and most lovable Frenchmen since Jacques Tati's adorable M. Hulot!

[@papagee325]

A child can do it... delicious soup!

[@Bob-b7x6v]

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

[@rjb6327]

Justin Wilson. My Fathers favorite show on TV. A 2 cup Ladle? 5 ladles = 10 cups. Recipe calls for 8 cups, ie 4 ladles. The best wedding soup I've seen. I will make this.

[@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.

[@aagguujjaa]

I have yet to see a video that has a better incentive to watch until the end. The outtakes are hilarious! No wonder everyone loves chef JeanPierre

[@Nanetteb]

Jean Pierre,you made me have a craving of soup.When watching this.

[@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.

[@thedudewhoeatspianos]

Making a vegan version of this with TVP meatballs tonight. Even though I don't eat meat (or even butter, which I know chef loves!), I get a lot of great recipes from your channel.

[@riat8006]

My family is high on soups-but I’ve never made this. Until now! I’m making it this week. ❤

[@merimiller1676]

This is my favorite soup and I can’t wait to try it. You continue to be amazing!

[@marialuizagaler7674]

In Romania we have something similar. Instead of the bread crumbs we put 3 spoonful of rice in meat balls composition, and in the soup we don t we pasta but more vegetables. It is a little sower as we add "bors"

[@1949chefjojo]

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

[@Capital.Bomber]

Chef what about an episode on how to cook perfect fish patties. Maybe a tartare sauce to match. And a glass of white wine to finish😊

[@cheriebuss193]

That looks amazing!! Thanks for making this soup. Those meatballs !!!!

[@mousiebrown1747]

Chef, I watched Justin Wilson when his shows were first run! I’m a bit old-ish! Lol! I think Justin would love your show, & he’d say, “Now there’s a man who knows his stocks and his soups!” Justin didn’t bother much with sauces, as I recall, but your sauces are superb, as well, Chef!

[@MikeK2100]

"non lo so" Looks like a great recipe to try.

[@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!

[@jtf873]

Beaitiful! Justin, bless him! 🥰

[@rakentrail]

I played in a wedding band for a few years and had a lot of bad wedding soup! Banquet chefs cutting corners. You have to get a good "brown" on the balls! I've seen where they put them in the soup raw and you get these grey anemic looking meatballs! Only fix? MORE WINE! Drink a lot more wine! LOL! Knew a Portuguese chef that used kale in his wedding soup!

[@auntyitch0019]

Hey chef can you show us how to make chicken gnocchi soup? I’ve only had it at Olive Garden and we love it.

[@AlmightyAphrodite]

When the chef started about the lettuce, for a moment I thought he was talking about escargot 😅 there's not much I don't like, but eating snails just never seemed appetizing to me 🙈 The escarole lettuce is actually pretty common where I live, my parents grow heaps of it on their garden as well. Its called 'andijvie' in Dutch, and I used to translate that to endive, but then I realized thats something else entirely also known by different terms like chicory and then theres Belgian endive which is also known as radicchio😅😅 I happen to like all of those as long as its not confused with escargot I'm good 😂

[@travisgames6608]

Chef JP is definitely a chef. He makes his plates to look presentable as a chef does. It could do with more seasoning though. Cheese, though.. Why?
