The BEST Soup Explained: Keys to a Healthy YOU Year

[@karenmiller1105]

I literally could watch you cook and showcase Frankie all day long. Love your videos.

[@sv8911]

Humor remains on point. Nice one! And thanks, Derek, for what you're doing. It's really wonderful and really appreciated.

[@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.

[@tazziemae4705]

I will soak the bean tonight. There will be soup tomorrow. You are such a blessing. Thank you.

[@snuffleufagus9771]

Same here!

[@linzertube]

Miss America was extra sassy today but she actually did give a few compliments as well.❤. Great recipe…I agree with the addition of potato but, all those toppings..YUM!

[@TisHotMessHistory]

This thumbnail truly stopped the scroll. This looks AMAZING. But nothing looks better than Frankie. So cute!

[@DerekSarnoChef]

She’s a queen

[@Melmksl]

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

[@greenspiritarts]

Blending the bean veggies to add back to the soup is something I’ve never done but makes perfect sense! And the editors creative cut at that tip made me laugh out loud! Warm and wonderful, as always! 🙏

[@Captain_Ian]

Thank you Derek. Your videos consistently are one of the highlights of the day whenever I watch one. You make me feel good about food.

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Appreciate you find these of benefit. Thank you

[@MicheleCowie-e3d]

A lot of caring warmth exudes from this delightful show. Thank you Derek and Frankie aka Miss America.

[@karenchapmannewton3081]

Derek, you’re a love! Such a pity for us that you’re leaving the UK! I think we need to clone you ♥️♥️♥️

[@debramurphyhand]

So full of goodness, just like you Derek and Miss America , she cracks me up with her sassy talk, love her ❤️ xxx

[@lizfinn5954]

I always watch to the VERY end, as I don't want to miss any Frankie action 😊.

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Me too.

[@teegee289]

Laughing and learning about plant based cooking helps me fight the winter/holiday blues. Thanks for the videos. Also thanks Conan O'Brien. I'm imagining him in your kitchen just feeding Frankie literally everything!! 😂

[@violetstarrlight]

Yay! Can always use more soup recipes. And more Miss Frankie 😊

[@ReillyWilde]

Ms. America aka Frankie is as lovely & supportive as always! 🐾♥️

[@KandyLovesGreen]

Miss Frankie is in a mood today! Totally hilarious 😂. I’d rather eat what you’re making than what I’m cooking right now but oh so grateful for what I have! Hugs to you and Miss Frankie! 💚💚💚

[@hoon75]

Frankie's commentary always makes me chuckle. She's so sassy 😂 Thank you for your videos. I've been watching for several years now, and I always keep your techniques in my mind while I'm cooking! Sometimes I feel like a real chef 👩🏻‍🍳

[@andreturbide9757]

Who needs Masterclass when you have Chef Derek S. to teach us how to make these delicious meals to feed our families and friends so great full thank you

[@TheLeisamarie]

If Derek says serve with toppings, I make the toppings! Beans on soak already! Love having meals covered for a couple days with leftovers! Ms. America always brings a smile! Thank you, beautiful soul fir bringing me along again today!

[@Bravecomet]

Your videos are wonderful and your recipes delicious. I’ve eaten kindly since 1993 and raised five kids to eat this way, but I learn from you on every video!

[@teegee289]

Do you have any channels or anywhere to find kids plant based meals/ snacks? I'm trying to get my Mom to feed my nephew and niece healthier stuff. Milk and cookies and if it's not that it's bologna Mac and cheese chicken strips etc

[@jobubbled]

This lady has a young son who loves what she makes! Lovely scenic videos too. youtube.com/@recetasdegri?si=9yHgJempQNL3nq1A​@@teegee289

[@Klaudine-u1b]

Frankie being extra frank today!

[@marathorne6821]

You just have to look at that bowl of soup and KNOW it's delicious, comforting and nutritious! 👍 Your Italian nonna would approve 😊

[@elizabethmcdonald4318]

Another great recipe along with some fantastic tips. Blending the carrots, celery and onion used to cook the beans and adding it to the soup as a thickener is genius! Would love to see a legume masterclass. Many thanks.

[@JannieMac]

Frankie melts my heart!!!❤️

[@wolfdreams2000]

Ms. America and Derek❤ I live in Vermont and definitely appreciate your soups 🍲 ❤

[@chikatoo]

I love all your recipes, but especially love love love your love for Frankie! 💜

[@Julie5231veg]

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.💜

[@befitz9380]

Frankie’s side eye comments bring me such joy! Recipes are fabulous as well. Thank you

[@brendismuke8149]

Oh My Dog!! You and Frankie are the best. What an awesome soup recipe and Miss America is such a lovely. I enjoy the love you two share. My Best!❤

[@redcurlvegan]

Another fab recipe - what a massive healthy wholesome bowl of goodness oh my gosh! I don't think there is a single video of yours that I haven't watched, and as I've said many times before your content really is therapeutic for me... I love seeing Miss America and her cheeky commentary, and it's heart-warming how much you love her 🖤 Always a joy when I get a notification of a new Derek video - thank you 🙏

[@DerekSarnoChef]

Thanks for always watching, Red

[@claudiaholland2603]

You and Frankie are my guilty pleasure!

[@vivianweissmann217]

Derek, I'm salivating here; I can't wait to make this wonderful nourishing comforting soup. Thank you, take care. Kisses and hugs for Ms. Frankie; uh, oh, Ms. America.

[@user-fs6ou3fk9p]

You're a blessing. I've been struggling with my mental health due to loss, responsibilities, and a challenging 46-year relationship. Healthy food helps me as well as the story of your life.

[@suzanar.6847]

I love Frankies’s comments ❤ And the recipe. This is best cooking ever. Beans are one of the best things in the world, I’ve never cooked them like this, but will definitely try this recipe. Thank you ❤

[@kymdipzinski9960]

My mom and I buy dried beans throughout the year and can them. We haven't purchased store-bought canned beans in years! We go through a lot of them, all different kinds, and just love them!

[@Dublin1008]

Mmmmh, thank you Derek 😍 kisses and hugs for Frankie❤❤❤❤

[@soul_survivor_oracle]

You crack me up ! He smoked the stems. I also love dogs and talk to them all the time. Thank you for the teachings .🌟

[@DeidreHAWA]

Thank you Derek for all you do! Inspiring soup for a cold portuguese day....blessings to you and Frankie.

[@louverousse9023]

Hello Sir, Just got some beans soaking , azuki beans, black eye peas and some mung beans also . That soup looked so delicious , will make it tomorrow and freeze some ! Thank you for being you and please give Mrs Frankie a kiss on the nose, a belly rub and a treat from me . Have a wonderful evening .

[@Jim_L]

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. 👍

[@andreabono3437]

Derak, you are so therapeutic to watch and an inspiration…..I love your videos and also love Gaz Oakley, Avante Garde chef….you include the message of veganism in a kind and thoughtful way….I am coming up on being vegan for 42 years…..love your approach….

[@MistyMayo-23]

I soaked pinto beans Thursday night. Cooked the beans low & slow and so far we’ve had Pinto Bean Soup with Cornbread, Pinto Bean Shepard’s pie, & tomorrow bean burritos are on the menu. Next up: White Beans, Derek Sarno style! ❤

[@jaieatsplants]

Never clicked so fast. Another Frankie sighting!! All is well with the world. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@artisanaromatics]

YUMMO! I want this soup!! I'm so glad I found your channel. Thank you so much for showing the world how scrumptious plant-based food is. 🙏🏼

[@user-fs6ou3fk9p]

I love using dry beans. I've tried cooking them in my instapot. It worked great!!!!! I also love to cook and learn something new almost every day. We're using less and less meat.

[@Di-eq7wn]

Any instapot tips for beans?

[@user-fs6ou3fk9p]

@Di-eq7wn I just googles dry beans in the instapot and came up with lots of videos.

[@VeretenoVids]

@@Di-eq7wn Rinse, sort, chuck 'em in the pot, add water (generally ratio by volume is 1:3), salt, couple of cloves of garlic, two onion halves. You can toss in a bay leaf or some cumin if you like. I find that smaller beans are usually done in 30-35 mins. Larger ones take 45 or so. I use the bean setting only because it's like a preset time/temp I can just press. If you open the pot and the beans are still a bit firm, give 'em another 5 minutes.

[@todayisforever]

i love how you describe the cooking and giving a guide and a "short recipe, thx for this.

[@sheeralim8020]

Bought an instant pot. I can pressure cook any dry beans in 35 minutes. Best purchase ever!

[@VeretenoVids]

I love my Instant Pot for beans. Dump dry beans in (after sorting and rinsing, of course), add water ( I find generally 3 inches above the beans is plenty and any extra becomes pot "likker" for soups, etc.), add salt, chuck in a couple of smashed garlic cloves and two onion halves. Seal it up and 30-45 minutes later there will perfect beans! (It does take a bit of experimentation with different varieties before you get it bang on every time.) I never thought I'd want an IP, but now that I've discovered the joy of cooking beans and steel cut oats in it, it was totally worth it for me.

[@edonna7370]

L8ve the new look...and your clean as you go. Oh ya and the soup.

[@VeganViki]

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.🙏🌱💚

[@racheldevine4822]

Wow, that looks so good… I am trying to eat more plant-based meals and your posts are most appreciated !

[@JustFrederiksen]

I LOVE those jar cubbies in your kitchen! What a great idea.

[@jenniferhuff2566]

I love that,you have Frankie tell on you when you forget something! I make tons of soup, often cleaning out the fridge of any leftover veg I have around. Great tip blending up the veggies from what you cooked beans with. Genius . Thanks for another great recipe

[@Sharon-py5ns]

I am hooked!! I literally catch myself droooling over ALL your videos! Plant-based cooking with layers of flavors has renewed my passion for cooking. So deeply grateful:)))

[@meherenow]

Frankie’s comments are the best. Recipe is pretty good too ❤

[@molliegill1559]

Thank you Frankie and Derek 💕

[@3PairDesigns]

Another mouth-watering meal! And a hilarious "commentary" by Ms. America! Thank you Derek and Ms. Frankie, xoxo!

[@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. 😊

[@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.

[@valeriescrivner3857]

My nickname as a kid was beans! I love this recipe 💚 And thanks for the reminder not to be stressful, working on it 🙏

[@mcanultymichelle]

After years of using a small chopping board, I finally got a big one and I’m going strong on my vegan journey.you were the inspiration(and a health scare😬) thank you. Hope you relocating is going great.

[@lisekapp268]

This last year I have finally gotten my act together and soak and boil beans for all my soups. But I have never boiled the beans with the herb and veg first, thank you for the best tip ever!

[@sharonbest4983]

thank you for the 'try not to stress out too much...' needed that reminder so grateful for your peaceful videos

[@bradlafferty]

I had just finished supper and my mouth is watering - looks fantastic! Toppings were something I’d not considered, but will. Ms. Frankie is a little fresh with her unsolicited remarks this week, the chiding gal! Loved it! Thanks for the recipe and all the other fun stuff your vids bring.

[@barbaracohen2856]

This looks awesome, Derek. Thank you! So enjoy your videos. I learn so much and it's always a treat to see you and Frankie.💙

[@esmrkseneviratne280]

LOOOOOOVE bean soup!!! Thank you Derek !

Cold season GRUBBIN'!! Looks downright cozifying 😋

[@Hollysuzette33]

I love the thickening trick and the lemon. Dogs love soup, and they will steel my soup on occasio .Thank you!

[@charishb]

I always say soup is magical! Comforting, nourishing, economical and so versatile. I especially love the creative toppings idea!

[@notoriousmaxify]

Love a good hearty healthy soup. Goes down soooo good in the winter. Thanks Derek!

[@kellynkarr6270]

We’ve been making the trumpet mushroom chicken noodle recipe of yours and now we look forward to this one! Absolutely love how much flavor you appear to pack into this soup. Cant wait! Thanks for another banger, D!

[@karizmaone]

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.

[@seajayami]

Great recipe- adorable Frankie- creative chef/videographer, and... I want a kitchen like yours!

[@billycordery6479]

Miss Frankie's comments crack me up!😂 I've never thought about adding 'toppings' to a soup. Love that idea.

[@christineyoung6620]

What a healthy and delicious winter recipe! Thanks for sharing

[@eightybananas4515]

I just LOVE the way you cook Derek! Such a pleasure to watch. Great tips too! Hi Frankie! 🐶

Great old style cooking - it looks soup-er delicious! 😁 🍲 Ms Frankie - awesome and sassy 😅

[@dginpomo1461]

Sure looks yummy on this rainy B.C. day!

[@Sp1n3c]

Not only cheaper, but apparently Canned beans are full of BPAs = endocrine disruptors that leak from the inner layer of the can. Make them yourselves ! Fantastic work as always, chef! Great idea using the first water and making broth out of it! Retaining some of the protein !

[@jawilliams6275]

That's what I'm talking about!! Awesome! and looks yummy!
