How Italians Make "Soups" for People Who Don't Like Soup | Soup-erb Zuppa Recipes

[@PastaGrammar]

Change my mind! What's a soup that will turn me into a real soup lover?

[@sooz9433]

I think we just saw 3 soups that you love!! 😊 ♥️ Thank you Eva..thank you Harper. ♥️ 🥣

[@janetEC1C2]

How about Acqua Cotta (viterbese)? It includes the egg like the zuppa Pavese…. Great explanation of what zuppa actually is!

[@the_abandoned_monastery7218]

Escarole and beans soup. Also, pasta fagioli! :)

[@PickBit]

My man don't think you have seen all that Italian zuppa has to offer until you have tasted ribollita. To me there is absolutely nothing better when talking about soups. With Eva being such a wonderful cook I'm sure she could make you a really mean ribollita

[@dannyboyNS752]

What kind of person doesn't like soup? But try Soupa de Ajo or a great Nova Scotia Lobster Chowdee

[@Qub3rs]

As a Canadian, soup is essential... As an Asian, soup is engraved in my soul... As an Asian/Canadian, soup is essential to the soul....

[@themushroominside6540]

As a south east asian. soup is so integral to our life that even in the hottest weather we cannot survive a day without having warm soup with every meal

[@Joeskee68]

as a Can-Asian, we get it...soup is ESSENTIAL!!!

[@raquelpenzo6299]

as a Dominican-American, whose family hails from a hot-as-balls Caribbean island, who eats sancocho (meat soup/stew) year round, I also agree that soup is essential for me: clear broths, creamy broths, stews--I don't discriminate! But I can't think of anything that will change Harper's mind LOL

[@Qub3rs]

@@raquelpenzo6299 sancocho's so tasty... 🤤

[@sheilakerr-jones4345]

As a Scot, ditto!

[@sunklee]

I'm Asian (Viet/Korean raised by a single Vietnamese mom) and soup is the backbone of my culture. We Vietnamese typically eat pho for breakfast. I can happily eat soup at least once a day for the rest of my life -- no joke! My husband (who is of European descent) does not understand my love for soup, and I don't understand how he doesn't love it. There is just something so comforting about soup, especially on a cold day, or if I'm under the weather. Soup is love in a bowl. It's a delicious, edible, warm hug.

[@elenamoulin3252]

Same for Easter Europe... In addition, for Westerners, soup time is dinner, and we usually have it at lunch 😢 Surprisingly, there are a number of soups in France, from velouté to peasant's kind of soup, so generally it is fine but for the time of the day

[@lorrie2878]

I love soup. Made minestrone last night.

[@Noneya5241]

I can understand why people who live in warm climates really don’t care for soup. I live in New England and a great homemade soup or stew is just so comforting!!! I’m watching this in the hazy hot humid month of August and I’m pretty sad that summer is almost over. For me soup is one of the only reasons to I like winter. I hate the winter and the snow and the sleet and ice and shoveling and the only way to get through all of that crap is a homemade soup or stew also there’s lots of great winter comfort foods!!

[@rivox1009]

Here in Lombardy there's a say "se l'è minga supa, l'è pan bagnà" which translates to "if it's not soup, it's wet bread" meaning that it's the same thing

[@chiccachannel]

Here in Rome it's the same "si n'è zuppa è pan bagnato" 😊

[@gregorioavalos1256]

Zappa.. the last one, I ended up with extra broth from pollo alla cacciatora, I may replace the beef broth with this??? 😂 sorry Eva, I’m Chicano.

[@BestCannaWimberley]

Where I live, they say..."what the hell kinda soup do you bake in the oven?"

[@rini6]

I love soup. It’s vital in the winter. Nothing warms you like a bowl of soup.

[@MonicaDamon-iu5eg]

Soup is extraordinary. People can live on soup and even have soup for breakfast, lunch, and dinner from various national cuisines. Soup is filling and healthy. You will never get sick from hot soup. The boiling kills all bacteria. Homemade Italian-style chicken soup is a miracle food. The Zuppa Pavese looks fabulous. I’ve never had it, but I am going to make it. Thanks Eva.

[@NataliaEmelianov]

As a Russian I love soups, we have it every day! Russian borsch is very delicious!! But I'll take any soup :)

[@elenamoulin3252]

Sorry, borsch is Ukrainian 😅 There surely are Russian kinds of soup

[@dank2265]

😂😂 National soup day! I just finished canning 8 gallons of chicken soup using 22lb of chicken, 3 bunches if cellery ,3 bunches of carrots, a bag of onions,and a 2 lb of brown rice.

[@jimburns3636]

Watching Eva carefully cut and arrange the zuppa ingredients is like ASMR for the eyes. It illustrates the gulf between American rushed "cooking" and Old World 'slow' food. Grazie.

[@kimtaylor4480]

Lol Ava! I know when my husband is loving a dish because he ALWAYS start to hum a little song to himself. 😂 Too funny! ❤️

[@marroosh]

Layers of bread and cheese? SIGN ME UPPP😋😋😋 Sooo Harper’s approval grunt equals Eva’s hand gesture. I like it😊

[@LisaL87]

Not a soup lover?! 😮 I could live off of soups/stews. Just something that feels warm and cozy about them. Always on the lookout for a new one to make. Thank you! ❤

[@jane-cn6nd]

Yes, a big pot of homemade soup is like a warm hug.

[@muddyacrefarms]

My goodness I so agree.

[@ModdingNewbie]

One of my favorites, too! As a matter of fact, my most used nickname for winter is "soup season"! 😆 :-9

[@anyaroz8619]

I am a soup lover, but my husband is not. Going to try to convert him using your tips! Thank you. Oh and I have a request (more like a plea): please make fish dishes of all kinds on your channel. You have tuna salad, you have anchovy pasta, you have a seafood pie. But I want more. And I don't want to go to another channel, because I love yours and trust you and Eva to have the BEST takes on dishes. I love Pasta Grammar and watch it for both entertainment and as an instructional channel

[@gracehesketh9928]

A Calabresa, living in Canada, My brother used to say, "Italians eat bread with Pancakes." Loved all your soups, especially the cabagge one. All your videos make me smile.

[@Rochesterhome]

I beat one egg with pecorino cheese and while the soup broth is boiling drop it in and let it cook for a minute. Then pour it over the bread. My grandma always made this mixture for our holiday chicken soup. It flavors the soup sooooo....gooood!

[@WinstonSmithGPT]

Stracciatella. (A word that has several very different meanings.)

[@futuredirected]

Man does not live by bread alone; You need some broth and cheese with it. I could live with that! Brava Eva! Bravo ‘Arper! ❤🎉❤

[@margaritalee1]

I Love both of you, not just your recipes and techniques. Your behavior towards each other speaks volumes and sets a good example for couples all over the world. A marriage with good food and laughter is the best recipe for a long life.

[@patriciaadler5743]

❤ Italian vegetable lentil soup!

[@kennethcope7266]

So, 'Now is the moment of the cheese', should be on a t-shirt. I'm making that my phrase of the month. As always, loved the video; thank you.

[@SlyPuma]

In Genova we loved to make passata di verdure, a dense vegetable soup blended with a hand mixer and served with olive oil & pesto. Perfect winter dish! 🇮🇹

[@rochelles.8387]

I just finished a bowl of Zuppa Pavese and it is now my favorite soup. I did add some frozen peas and carrots for a little color and I poached the egg in the broth which worked well. Such simple ingredients but such a delicious soup. I think I'll make this for dinner tomorrow night too! Thank you Harper and Eva for another delicious recipe.

[@hb7282]

Those noises Harper makes are a result of foodgasms and are an extremely high, if not the highest, compliment a cook can be given. The food is so good that the diner is not going to waste a moment of eating on trying to form words

[@natalialopes719]

I love soup. Especially in the winter.

[@darklordmenet]

i'm really glad this channel is here. yea we teach the nieces and nephews the recipes my grandmother taught us. But sometimes they just don't get it. Having this channel lets them understand just a bit better what we're talking about because they see it from someone elses point of view. and some how it just clicks for them better.

[@davidfinan4041]

Interesting recipes, the last one really seems to be more like what we would call dressing (stuffing) here in the states.

[@Michele-z4k]

My mom made soups by putting all the leftovers in a pot. Consequently, I wasn’t a fan of soup. Then, as an adult, I worked in a kitchen. I never knew you could have ‘themed’ soups. Broccoli & cheddar, French onion, cream of spinach, cream of mushroom, etc. The soup world became my oyster.

[@sideeffect2]

I could eat soup for every meal. I usually make a soup every week! 100% my favorite thing to eat!

[@AngelaKSellsHomes]

I loved watching you speak about Harper's sound effect scale. The love between you two is beautiful. ❤

[@knownothing5518]

Soups, broths, consommés, all that jazz? LOVE LOVE LOVE IT Ok now Imma watch the video.

[@marcobiagioli3905]

Bravissima ! Anzi... mmhh ! A quando i canederli ed il gran bollito ? Vi siete dimenticati di dire che la carne è le verdure del brodo si mangiano

[@KH-nz4ld]

Last two zuppe almost like Italian take on French onion soup without interruption of onion.And thank you bringing recipe from Valle d’Aosta.❤That region of Italy has special place in my heart.They have some of my favorite ingredient ,which they harvest a lot of from their forests and mountains-fungi porcini!!!

[@cristineramos6051]

If the first zuppa should be served with a raw egg, I think a poached egg would be better because you can keep it really runny. Can’t wait to try this.

[@RetroRobbin59]

These “ soups” with the tomato bread salad…perfect!

[@izzu64]

Toasting the bread in butter for soup is life changing! Grazie!!

[@coldstone01]

Yum. I'm a big fan of soup from a midwestern state so it's a full-on season along with off-season versions.

[@mollyjones4165]

The bread lasagne is giving me serious inspiration. I have a fresh baked loaf of bread and I love toasted slices of bread with melted mozzarella on top. So yes the layered bread and mozzarella looks divine!

[@gohabs9]

what is the name of the version from veneto that was mentioned?

[@David34981]

Zuppa Cuata@@gohabs9

[@mikerey7210]

In general I hate soup. Nothing there to keep you from getting hungry soon after. These look amazing!

[@barneycoffman6663]

Since I speak the same language, I understood Harper and Eva did a very good translation.

[@pompe221]

A Valle D'aosta recipe! :D The farther northwest you go in Italy, the stronger the French and German influences like using more butter and cabbage. I would love to see your take on bagna cauda (my Nonna's go-to recipe for Lent), vitello tonnato, and bonet.

[@genanadeau5476]

It’s windy here today and I have bread, broth, and cheese! Thanks for the inspiration!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Love Sunday afternoons with Pasta Grammar!! Hi from England ❤

[@maryallen9391]

Love Soup...can't wait to see what she does!!

[@KalhyceK]

I'm watching this while eating a soup of my own. Not as good as Eva's, but good enough. My mom always made soup as an antipasto at home. I didn't appreciate it much when I was a child, but it grew on me over time, and now I love it.

[@MaryellenS.13]

Soup is my absolute favorite food group! I make a pot a week!

[@miradfalco251]

Ooo, this is very similar to a favorite breakfast! I poach eggs in chicken broth, and then add them to a bowl piled full of fresh spinach, broth and all. Serve with plenty of toasted bread. Will definitely try this!

[@drmarx999]

It's always such a joy watching you two enjoying each other!

[@brucetominello7440]

I agree. Nothing better than approving grunt over a good meal!

[@aquacommelina]

I live where it's Very cold in the winter months. Our homemade soup is wonderful to help keep us warm. It is very comforting.

[@federicomuzzu4696]

Thank you Eva for bringing zuppa cuata on this channel not once but twice! This makes me so proud (and hungry)

[@lindacallahan7388]

In one of my many trips to 🇮🇹 Italy, I consumed versions of these Soups, delizioso is all I can say❤❤..Mangia🇮🇹

[@debbycastellitto6659]

I’m beginning to think Alexa is listening to me or reading my mind. Yesterday I watched an old American Test Kitchen show and they made this cabbage baked soup and I found it something I had to make! Now I’m obsessed with making it for my first generation Italian husband (my Valentine)💌

[@Jch79]

Harper, its funny you mentioned being excited about the bread dipping... I watched a spaghetti western as a kid called "They call me Trinity". There's a scene in the beginning of the movie where Italian actor Terence Hill(Mario Girotti) dips bread into a huge bowl full of beans eats the entire thing in minutes. It left a big impression and looked so good that to this day I can't eat soup, or anything with a lot of sauce, without bread to dip in it.

[@jillcnc]

I love soup! The best thing about winter is that it's soup/stew season!

[@Ludekuize]

I was halfway into the video when I noticed the "Soup-erb" in the title - lovely!

[@heathermiddleton4958]

I love soup. Yum.

[@peacemakers6316]

I love the way you think! what a wonderful day, I love soups!

[@jeanettegirosky7735]

I love soup....I am Polish so nothing like a hearty soup to fix the soul! And I took a deep dive into Asian cuisine....I love raw egg in my soups.....and century eggs.....makes everything so velvety. This soup looks good too.

[@Frederic_S]

Although I am a BIG pasta lover .. this maybe is my favorite episode.

[@Notturnoir]

Bread bowl is the most exciting thing for a kid!!!

[@donnapadula1658]

Love, love, love soup 🍜

[@ditackett]

U two bring such joy to my heart when I see u interacting together. I hope u plan to have children. I was love to see a little Eva in the kitchen or a little Harper with a pair of glasses on teaching a cooking class.

[@gagamba9198]

Looks great. If you're looking for sheep, a good place is the South Asian Muslim markets with a halal butcher. Usually it's labelled mutton. A good substitute for mutton is goat. The Arab butchers for that, but I reckon if you have Africans, Jamaicans, and/or Dominicans in the area they may direct you to their sources. Both are much cheaper but tastier than lamb, but longer cooking time because they're tough. And goats are hearty beasts that can handle the desert. You ought to raise a few in the garden, Harper.

[@MelvisVelour]

I was going to suggest the same though you may have to order ahead of time especially during major holidays such as Eid.

[@Iranda_]

I love soups! All soups!·And Italian soups in particular!!!!! But I must admit, this broth & bread soup shown first is really new to me. Will try.

[@Sheggor]

I also let out some grunts when I'm really enjoying my food 😊. Thanks Harper, I feel less alone now! I'm a big soup lover, and there are so many great soups around the world: French onion soup, Vietnamese pho, Thai tom yum, or Turkish lentil soup (shorbet adas). Of course I suppose I'd be less of a soup enthusiast if I lived in Nevada instead of Belgium 😂

[@GinadiGiulianova]

Wonderful video! I now have the urge to make a zuppa tonight! I want to add that "zuppa" is derived from the Italian verb "inzuppare" which means to soak or to saturate something in a liquid. Now I would love to see a video on "minestra"...per non saltare la finestra!

[@BakerVS]

You probably missed Aosta because it's such a small region, and because it's about as far from Calabria as it's possible to go in Italy. An alternative to fontina is raclette cheese from next door in the Swiss canton of Valais, also very good. Do some Valtellina dishes as well! Pizzoccheri are a classic.

[@victoriamiranda-stotelmyre4382]

I love soup. Our multi family holiday and special occasion dinners always start (other than appetizers) with a first course Soup. It’s never the same soup either so I’m happy that you made this video to add to our roster of new soups to introduce to the family. Family members always look forward to see what the new soup will be as we rotate main courses. Grazie ❤

[@greatboniwanker]

Eva, you just rocked my world. I know you know what you're talking about so now you have to explain to us about _real_ provolone!

[@viggo6607]

Cinnamon is also used a lot in Chinese savory dishes, but it's almost undetectable because it combines so well with the other fragrant spices. This was another fantastic video.

[@Max2U]

I live for soup. I will turn up the A/C to eat soup in the summer. Can’t wait to see/hear your recipes. MUST HAVE BREAD FOR DIPPING!

[@flatcreek4665]

[@michaeldefalco1568]

So incredible, I had to watch the entire video twice. to make sure I had the steps down!

[@frederickacerra7766]

Always something I have never seen before when I watch your videos. I have done soups with bread both at home and the restaurant's i worked at . Those three were totally new to me.

[@DrinknStitch]

I do love soup. I bake lots of bread & have copious amounts of it. Thank you once again for inspiration!

[@dominicbleau3395]

I do love soup with hot bread, in the winter...

[@pamelakilponen3682]

Our Finnish salmon soup with our buttered rye bread is fabulous!! I also love our pea soup, with rye bread.

[@robinsonstegard538]

I love the grunts! That makes me happy when I get that reaction to my cooking too! 🙂

[@MykePagan]

When pasta grammar says you can’t get an ingredient in the USA, I say “come to New Jersey.” My local grocery store usually has it. Imported Fontina? Check! Fresh sheeps milk ricotta? Check! Heck, I just found that they even have cacciacavalo (spelling?) so I made Sfincione for my ski club last weekend.

[@coolguy9360]

I made this soup and it came out delicious, specially on a cold rainy day!!!! Thanks Eva and Harper. The 1st recipe

[@debbybrady1246]

lol I'm making soup today! My granddaughter is coming over and we're making fresh pasta noodles (your recipe)! YEAH I made rebolita for our New Years Eve day. Everyone loved it. I actually ran out. We had 10 for lunch. Happy soup day.😊

[@johnwarr7552]

Pea and ham soup made with a home cured ham bone & trimmings and marowfat peas. Food of the gods in winter :-)

[@charlesdraghi2673]

I put Zuppa Pavese on the cafe menu in my restaurant: it became a huge hit. I usually garnished it with chopped parsley.

[@servicecritic7340]

Im with you Harper.. Soup YUK ! Soup (or Pastina) is for when your sick ! Even though it all looked lovely, I will be only enjoying this episode from a bystander. Love you guys ❤❤❤❤

[@arthurmiller9434]

I was unaware of this type of soup. Eager to make it Thank you for the introduction and recipe.

[@anthonygm85]

I'm big soup fan soup with bread can't be beat, but you guys got me with the bread lasagna one hmmm gotta try that one

[@Angelicwings1]

“Now is the moment of the cheese” I’m gonna use that from now on. It’s sounds beautiful.

[@victorpena6124]

Absolutely love your channel, I think it would be wonderful to see Eva can do an episode in Italian.

[@CreatorInTrng]

Years ago we stayed in a private holiday apartment in Toscana. One evening the owner came by and gave us a dish of Zuppa di Panne his wife had made earlier in the day. OMG was that delicious! After begging for the recipe he gave it to us. (I think he knew we would never be able to really replicate it.) The bread is different, the freshness of the herbs are different and the experience and attention to detail were beyond us. Years later after many, many attempts, we get close, but never the same. And, of course, every household has its generational recipe. We learned that a lot of the bread in that area does not use much salt in it, harking back to the days of Salt Taxes. They just got used to it and adapted.

[@momuv6980]

I love soup, stews, chowder. Growing up in Vermont meant lots of those dishes during Fall and winter. Some of my favorites are my mother's bean soup (fresh green/yellow beans from the garden), diced salt pork in a milk & butter broth. The irony is that beans from the garden are harvested in late summer, so we were always bathed in sweat eating this hot soup in August! So yummy, though. Winter meant corn or fish chowder, beef stew, etc. I also made "cupboard soup" for my children when they were young, using random canned veggies, beans, etc. from the cupboard. I adore cold weather food - definitely my favorites. Love, love, love soup! Love you guys, too!❤😊

[@frednurk8590]

Love your work guys. Uuuh is about as expressive as I'd be, given the opportunity to taste those zuppa.

[@PockASqueeno]

That first one is like Tuscan onion soup, but without the onion. What kind of broth did you use?

[@nancymiller349]

I'll do anything with cabbage. Love it

[@mariestark392]

Now I gotta go cook. lol love you both!

[@lisapop5219]
