The BEST Soup Explained: Keys to a Healthy YOU Year

[@cmac5481]

Derek, I love this recipe and the marquee narration makes me laugh out loud. I'm going to make this tomorrow after soaking the beans - which will be a first for me. I soooo appreciate you and the straightforward cooking education. You make cooking simple and I love the fact that you don't have 100 different tools, machines, etc. just sharp knives, cast iron or stainless steel pans, and awesome clean up habits. Thank you so much for always being there just when I need the next recipe. Namaste 🙏😇🕊 and big hugs to Frankie 🤗🎄

[@marionjunkersdorf2634]

Had friends over yesterday and served tacos with a lentil filling and pumpkin, both from your other videos; everyone loved it and asked for the recipes. Next time I will be serving this wonderful soup, it looks absolutely delicious. Thank you for your recipes, your spirit, your calmness. Greetings from Berlin, and all the best for you.

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Appreciate it and you.

[@arnoldchristine2020]

Picked up tempeh to make the hot Italian sausages. Began vegetarian journey 12 yrs ago that became vegan over time. I miss hot Italian sausages. Thank you for the amazing recipe. This video is next level in effects. Love to Frankie from Harvey.

I love your Dog and I have the same pan in my kitchen so liked and subscribed ❤

[@pamcotterman7073]

So yummy 😋 I made “soup beans” yesterday…. Not nearly as delicious as this looks, but I like em. Love the idea of blending up the cooked veggies and adding them back in the soup ✔️✔️ And “toppings” 🤯 Brillant ❤

Hey Derek, I recently discovered your channel and I wanted to say THANK YOU. I've been vegan 8 years, and I'm quite competent in my cooking at this point. I used to love watching vegan youtubers but felt really burnt out the past few years as I found all the content and recipes pretty similar and I wasn't really learning anymore (still incredible creators! I just wasn't feeling it anymore) This channel is like a breath of fresh air. Great cooking tips, original recipes that I can alter easily, and a super quirky (in a great way) editing style that keeps me engaged and laughing. Plus look at that POOCH!! So so cute. Thanks, from a new fan

[@LastManHoping]

Man, Derek.. it's so beautiful to watch your videos. we are vegan for quite a time. Iove cooking and taking care that my dog and my wife and friends love my meals. I you and your videos always make us feel home, calm and happy. Thank you for that. you, Frankie and your meals are so wholesome and such a bright Happy light in this Grey world. we do Not know you personally but It feels like we do. we wish you all the best. even if you decide one day to stop with KZbin we all will understand and wish you all the best. Thanks for your great recipes. so many chefs and channels insist they have easy normal day life recipes. but often I got disappointed as it is more complexe and high skill based and expensive than i hope. but your recipes ar so clean , clear , cool .. "simple", yummy and awesome for us normal people out there. Thanks a lot for your time. appreciated. warm regards from Germany. Our vegan old Dog: Aki ...says Hi to Frankie. 😊

This soup looks incredible! I LOVE making soups/stews. I can say with confidence that I'm a soup-a-holic. 😄 One of the things I really appreciate about them is that you can easily make them into an all-in-one, one-pot meal -- meaning you can get all your nutrients in that one bowl. No having to make a side salad or a grain or a potato. Everything you need is in that one beautiful bowl. 👍

Last week I decided to get my act together and start cooking beans from scratch so I now have a larder full of dried beans. I’m going to try this recipe tomorrow(after soaking the beans overnight obviously!). I’m sure it will be delicious and seeing as soup is my all time favourite meal, how could it be otherwise?! I loved how you whizzed up the celery, onion and carrot that you’d used to cook the beans and added them to the soup. Thank you Derek. A 😘for beautiful Frankie as always.💜

[@zae5159]

I'm a big ol dummy when it comes to cooking. I LOVE to bake and can make some really delicious breads, but when it comes to cooking, it's just a huge blind spot for me. I normally make food that's just "good", filling, and nutritious, so this recipe was such an awesome upgrade to my normal veggie soup! The beans really did absorb SO much flavor while they simmered, and the end result is SO PACKED WITH FLAVOR! For my own toppings, I used field roast Italian sausages, fried French bread, and fresh parsley) Gonna be eating really well for the next few days!

love as always from Kiwi and me in Canada. There's a new tenant in my building with the most beautiful dog I've ever met (my Dad always had big dogs so ok on That List. His name is Simba, he's a Rottie/Shepherd cross, magnificent, patient stately and friends with Kiwi the wonder Peke who is a 10 lb bundle of energy. ... I have a vegan recipe I make this time of year I learned from a dear friend from Montreal, who passed away from AIDS in 1988 and whom I honour with all my soul. It's the obvious French Canadian split pea soup but traditionally made with a ham bone. Not necessary. Miso paste at the end and Robert's secret ingredient, an onion studded with cloves which no-one actually can identify. I recently learned to make proper sourdough rye which I've been eating all my life anyway and it permeates the house .... Also a lot of black pepper I know you appreciate I am far from being a chef of your caliber but both my parents cooked together (they were 2 gallant people who survived WW2 my Dad from Serbia who spent several years in Rome before coming to Canada and my mum a Berliner, Holocaust survivor who is as close to a New Yorker as you could possibly get ... they cooked together as did I and my late husband. I don't have unnecessary kitchen gadgets but thank god for the Instant Pot for this lazy person (that would be me). Push a button and wait for the timer ... it goes in 3 stages; vegan broth I collect in the freezer, check, soak the split peas they go in next and I blend a small portion. I do add a mirepoix. It feeds a multitude the proverbial loaves and fishes ....I volunteer in a soup kitchen and am happy to report that 80% of the people choose the vegetarian option. There's also a lot of dog food many people have no fixed address and there's a list of vets who also volunteer their time they can find. ..... I worry about you on the road in Trump America most probably your endless good will and integrity will overcome all obstacles. Sending best wishes for the hols.❤❤🐈🐈🐈🐈🐕🐕

Made this today with gigante beans. The broth alone from cooking the beans was scrumptious. I didn’t have fresh herbs so put dried herbs in a spice bag and let it steep with the beans. I topped mine with sliced banana peppers and nutritional yeast! Delish! 🎉

Thank you for sharing this fabulous scratch soup recipe, Derek! Soup is always so hardy and comforting IMP. I made your spicy vegan sausage recipe yesterday using extra firm tofu. Then used it for a pizza I made. I shared the pizza with my brother and sister-in-law. They absolutely loved it! My sister asked for your vegan sausage recipe. It's so versatile, vegan lasagna, spaghetti, pizza, so many ways to use it. It's healthy and very inexpensive. I hope you and sweet Frankie have a wonderful week! Take care.🙏🌱💚

This looks so yummy! We love cannellini beans! I make a batch weekly, so I'll add this to my rotation of ways to eat them, of which I have many! They're such a versatile food. We just finished a cannellini bean sandwich for lunch, which is a favorite of ours. As I was eating it, I actually thought of you, Derek, and wondered if you ever posted a video on beans. No sooner did I clean up from lunch, and this video popped up! Great minds. Hope you & beautiful Frankie enjoy the rest of your day. ❤

[@merryworld4776]

Oh? Cannellini Bean Sandwich?? Do tell...

[@roseweed761]

@@merryworld4776 I lightly toast a Cuban roll or any oblong type roll (they hold the beans better), then reheat a scoop of the beans I've previously prepared (with some of the broth because I like it). After it's heated nicely, remove from heat, stir in a bit of olive oil and some vegan Parm (I use Follow Your Heart brand) to make a little sauce, then spoon this into your toasted roll. I also use vegan mayo on the roll and some homemade roasted pepper strips sometimes, but even without those, we love this very basic sandwich. I could eat it everyday. Hope you like it too! ❤️

You are soooo right about every advantage to making dried beans. Also, re: making dried beans - once I got the process down, they're super easy, and they practically make themselves. I feed 3 adults and I make 2lbs of pinto beans per week, and eat beans in pretty much everything I make for lunch/dinner every day of the week. Salads. Soups. With eggs. Vegan nachos.

[@Xiroi87]

In Spain this kind of soups/stews are part of the traditional winter cuisine. Instead of adding ready made broth, as you'll be boiling the pulses a long time you make the broth at the same time. Just add a lot more vegetables with the beans, after boiling for two hours what you have is a nice home made broth. You can sauté the veggies first, but you can just put everything together and simmer it. You typically use onion, leek, celery, carrot, parsnip/turnip, and add whatever you have, really. I like to add a couple of fresh tomatoes (peeled, diced) and, even if not traditional, a piece of fresh ginger. And one or two laurel leaves are a must. If you boil lots of veggies with chickpeas, the broth is delicious, which you can use for other recipes.

[@hn85704]
