You could put the mirepoix in a food processor with olive oil and process into a paste to avoid the water and sauté instead.

i'm going through a rough period in my life. i know i will never cook anything you teach us to, but just watching your videos and being part of that makes me feel better... at least you are funny and your voice is relaxing. if my life gets better one day i hope i can cook some of the stuff in your channel. thanks.

[@foodwishes]

If you're still laughing, then it's not a matter of "if," your life gets better, but when. Good luck!

KuraiMuin, I know this is a bit late but, as my Rabbi says: "It all works out in the end; and, if it hasn't worked out, it's not the end." It WILL get better, though, while you ate in the middle of it, it seems like forever. God bless.

[@SoMyungJung]

Chef John... I love you so much. Sincerely, a straight single man.

"You are the Dwight Schrute of your musical fruit." Has to be my favorite one yet! hahaha

Over 20 years ago I use to frequent a small Restaurant owned by 2 women in Santa Cruz, CA. They were all about soups and chili and I think it was all vegetarian. Anyway they put out a small paperback book of soups they served in their restaurant and my absolute favorite was the think Tuscan blended White bean soup. It was amazing. Lost the book and have been searching for a similar recipe. I can’t wait to try this. Great video.

[@pugsandcoffeeplease]

I was literally JUST browsing KZbin saying "I wish Chef had a new video!" not even 2 minutes ago. YESSSS!!!!!!!! I have a reason to be alive now. ;-)

[@Mnce101]

+Michael Duvic Exactly what i was doing too!

[@ASMR4insomnia]

Whenever I notice his last video was posted 3 days ago I go on high alert the whole fourth day... Just waiting...

[@dumb_beard]

+Michael Duvic I too hold my breath between his videos... This is therapy for me. I'm not kidding.

[@LeilaAimeMaquillage]

+Michael Duvic Oh what a time to be alive :)

[@justins21482]

I fell in love with this channel quickly not even a month or 2 ago. It reminds me of the cooking shows I watched when i was a teenager, the stuff you might find on tv on a sunday morning. no silly music or fast jump cuts, just a laid back guy with a chill voice and great presentation. I used to LOVE cooking but have kind of fallen out of it in the last 7 yrs. Its a channel like this that has me thinking about getting back into it. I still enjoy a challenging recipe the likes of thomas keller but these are fantastic and great recipes for getting back into the swing of things! Thanks a bunch!

[@coocoointhebrains]

You're so funny but in a kind hearted way. I love it ❤

[@vgel]

Hey CJ, I'm a college student in a dorm. I really love your videos and make all the ones I can with the limited stuff I have (living on the sixth floor and getting a skillet + supplies down to the second -- not fun). I'm saving a bunch of your recipes for next year when I have a real place with a kitchen. Not sure where I'm going with this, I guess it's just really nice to have a resource like this for a cooking-deprived person like me. When I want to cook but can't it's nice to go on a Food Wishes binge and bookmark a bunch of great recipes -- like this one! Basically, keep being awesome :^)

Simple Food like this actually tastes better than something that might have taken 3 days to make. Simple is better...thanks John.

[@christinemayer3967]

OMG!!! The husband mistakenly soaked two pounds of beans so I made this one and your Italian sausage and white bean stew. BOTH ARE FABULOUS!! I just saw your clotted cream video and cant wait to try that too. All i can say is WOW, Wonderful!!!

[@MothmanBaddie]

This is honestly my favorite soup. It's cheap and delicious, especially since I took your advice and planted myself a lil windowsill herb garden. It's even good unblended! Also especially tasty with a bit of diced up ham. 😌❤️

[@pierrerossouw6083]

Thank you Chef. Because of you I can literally not say the word 'freshly' without the lilt in my voice, much to the amusement of friends and family. And although it's summer here, I am so in the mood for soup now. Soup is true soul food.

[@Heghineh1]

That's a genius idea to use a processor and grind those veggies instead of chopping . Your food always makes me super hungry and inspire to getup and cook:) Thank you

[@mwrkhan]

+heghineh It's the way we start our curries here in the subcontinent. Onions, garlic and ginger are ground into a paste and then fried off. Spices are added along with some water to prevent burning and then, after cooking for a few minutes, the meat or vegetables are added.

[@CBeatty59]

This is my go-to winter soup. Easy, delicious and cheap. Everybody loves it!

[@johnferdico2490]

Hey chef John, I made this recipe tonight and it is outrageous....I opted to do the diced up veggies instead of the way you did it on the video. I've tried a lot of your recipes with great results, you are my favorite u-tube chef........thank you for the great recipes, and humor.

[@TheDietChef]

That crispy bread just looks soooo good.

[@frannypie.]

OMG he said dwight shrute!!!! stop the presses and send chef john as many awards we can fit in his house

[@jessm305]

I live in South FL but I still love soup anytime of year and your soup looked amazing!

[@nlbhaduri]

Happy as a clam AT HIGH TIDE…..now you can understand the clam’s level of happiness…..ahhhh.

[@CBeatty59]

Delicious and foolproof soup! Croutons are delicious, i once made this without celery for a friend who can’t stand it, and just added more carrot. It was great. Normally I do use celery and also add a French shallot.

[@ravindraprasad2]

Hello chef john. thank you for this recipe. i just made it tonight. i used the blender to blend everything. its delish.

[@limorbeautified7645]

My family LOVED this! Thankyou🙏🏼

[@alsmith1025]

YUM!! i do not thing anything else needs to be said about this one. Thanks Chef John.

[@mortimezz]

i love watching food wishes so much because you always make food i would never eat looks incredibly delicious and i usually end up eating something right after!

[@pccalcio]

"where did I hear that?" "I can't remember" I litterally exploded laughing :D

[@MarcoManiacYT]

[@trkstr99x]

[@johnd5574]

I'm pretty sure you're doing holy work here. Looks wonderfully tasty!

[@PLATINUMMAXIMUM09]

I cant lie I get excited when I see a new video from food wishes under my subs. Also the cool thing is I'm in culinary school and a lot of your recipes and french terms have really given me the upper hand!

[@hotcocoa00]

Hello! I just made this yesterday! I had to make some substitutions.. I used drained chilli beans instead, and cumin & curry instead of the herbs bc I didn't have them. For the veggies, I had carrots, bell pepper, onion, & garlic. It smelt great while cooking! I even blended them in the food processor like you, but with olive oil. Idk why, I just did it that way. Also boiled some potatoes in chicken broth, and added that to the veggies and beans. After it was blended smoothly, I added cilantro, pepper, and ground ginger. It gave it a fresh spicy flavor. Anyway, it was a hit at dinner so thanks for sharing your amazing recipes! Can't wait to cook your garlic parm chicken wings for this weekends Alabama vs. Auburn game! I am literally SO ready!

[@MorselOfBread]

I will most definitely eeeeeeeenjoy this one.

[@sydneyb.267]

I just made this and it is delicious! I used home cooked navy beans, and used the water they cooked in instead of broth, but next time I think I will use broth. The croutons really put it over the top. Thanks for a great recipe!

[@davebatu1234]

ty. All your recepies are easy yet tasty

[@tinakeller7569]

Thank you Chef John for this recipe. I'm making it for the 2nd time today. Bean Soup is an all time fave of mine. However, I'm finding that the finished product from this particular recipe comes out very thin. I'll continue making it as it's much simpler than soaking the beans overnight but my personal opinion is that using 3 cans of beans would work much better yielding a thicker soup. Just this cook's opinion.

[@InTheKitchenWithJonny]

Looks great! Awesome recipe

[@gofigure6653]

Dear Chef John.l need to thank you for soo many wonderful recipes,so easy to prepare,so tasty and intercepted with bursts of laughter and giggling due to your rry sense of humour.I have tried and successfully tested many of your recipes on my family.The Tuscan bean soup and croutons though is the most delicious soup we have tasted.Absolutely wonderful.Thank you so much for all your hard work.Believe me it is soo much appreciated.All the best to you.Kind regards.Saki a

[@TheKaffeeKlatsch]

Wonderful soup, John. The only thing I didn't have fresh was the thyme, but wonderful just the same. Keep em coming the wife and I tell everyone about your pages.

[@alain6930]

Just made this and it just delicious.

[@SanahSaysHello]

I am SALIVATING. Goodness gracious.

[@ItsAlwaysFromScratch]

Oh my gossssh when you grate in the Parmesan cheese into those croutons...killin me. Definitely trying that tonight!

[@bloodandwinearered]

How about his timing. Canned white kidney beans are on special this week for 99 cents a can. I am so making this. Have lots of left over baguette to make the crispy bread. Love this recipe.

[@BasedPeanutButterEnjoyer]

Hmmm... Chef John may be stalking you and I'm ok with that, and I am not ok with that. Wrong channel.

[@vgel]

+Trevor Greenleaf The friendly guy nobody would have suspected is the real stalker. Ding.

[@lifereceiver3661]

Its cheaper to buy uncooked beans. Sprout them by soaking them. Then simmer them over low heat

[@michaeljdauben]

It's spring now, but that still looks delicious!

[@shalakakeer6163]

Wow..loved ur recipe..lots of Love from India

[@Lppppp97]

Thanksgiving is being held at my house this year and I've been binge watching your videos for a while now 😂

[@PrincessRhea18]

Looks delicious

[@dannyphehe]

Wow interesting cool idea using the blender.

[@OReitmeier]

Delicious! And such a funny presentation. Thank you

[@uncledick8562]

This is going to be my Friday night dinner. Thank you chef John.

[@JelenaBraum]

Ah, winter recipes, the only positive side of winter. This looks lovely :)

[@TheDany0089]

Chef John you are my every day hero¡

[@dlovett1771]

If you have SAD, check out a light box. Worked for me last year

[@alishadurbrow9254]

Which one do you have?

[@pugsandcoffeeplease]

Would this be a bad time to insert a "your mom's box" joke?

[@dannyphehe]

+Michael Duvic isuse boze hahah

[@woogie5506]

+Michael Duvic it's ALWAYS a bad time to insert a mom joke.

[@Cheezybrie]

A vitamin D 😏 supplements can also work if you don't have access to a light box. (Ask your doctor first obviously.)

[@jay7sa]

I made your tomato bisque for my family the other day and they ate it all. They loved it.

[@MarioDallaRiva]

Bravo, Chef Giovanni! Is it true that your personal vehicle is a Porsche Cayenne?? 😉 Looks very tasty. Thanks. I love your home made oven baked crouton recipe. Trouble is I eat them like chips! Ciao.

[@JadeGordon]

I've been blending onions and garlic to use just like this, and I swear it makes the flavors so much more intense! I forget every time though that blending one onion is like chopping a dozen. My eyes!!

[@namak915]

Looks so good! I'll definitely be trying this!

[@jodrew1845]

Looks fantastic!

[@jillpiebest]

That looks really delicious! Can't wait to try it.

[@reilea9977]

You know, sometimes I just listen to his videos just so I can feel good about life in general, not always cooking what he makes, just sometimes. I wish teachers would talk to students the way he talks to us. He's funny and he's not even trying to be.

[@TheFindingMiah]

i'm sorry you have SAD :( hopefully this season goes more smoothly than previous

[@rgisdel]

Delicious, im making this tomorrow.

[@neilbecker1140]

2:28 and this is why I love the chef John recipes.

[@bonniecarroll7370]

Thanks for this - I was just thinking it was getting to soup time of year.

[@3NinJas3]

Hi Chef John, huge fan here. Have you ever considered making another channel where you show your face some more and maybe talk about cooking in general and yourself some more. The masses would love it. Also, quick food wish: Cuban breaded steak/bistec empanizado.

[@rbettsx]

Maybe.. But please make it another channel. The reason I love these videos is that they cut to the chase. No 'look at me', no BS, just cooking. And fun. A lot of other people's recipe videos have my finger hovering over the fast forward button. Never these ones. They are beautifully made little films, and have been, all the way from the start. That's a real talent, IMO.

[@push3kpro]

Awesome. It would taste good, without blending.

[@MajorRocker74]

Man...what I wouldn't give for a handful of those croutons right about now.

[@thebeesknees1505]

+Major Rocker would you give a few bucks worth of ingredients and your time? because you _could_ have a handful of those croutons!

[@Xani13]

This is BRILLIANT! Not only do you get the taste of the veggies by doing it this way, but you don't have to put up with the annoying textures of said veggies! :D Would this technique also work with the 'holy trinity' of cajun cooking? For example, like in a gumbo? I'd be very interested to see how that turns out if you're willing to attempt it here. :D That's my food wish.

[@sujonso]

Lovely soup, can't wait to make this for Thanksgiving. I think my family is butternut squash-ed out and this is a great alternative.

[@marybuck5946]

Uh oh, Chef. We still have another month until winter begins! Hang in there! PS: Those croutons looked so good I had to get up at 1:30 am & make a piece of toast to satisfy that craving.

I've tried this recipe and it was absolutely delicious. :)

[@channiejysyiaa]

This looks so delicious!!

[@anthonydamico9705]

mouth watering while watching this

Hi Chef! The only thing that helps my winter doldrums is CHOCOLATE! You can see how much I love it by my dramatic all upper case spelling. ❤️

[@aarika1]

Looks so good!!!

[@hojiscott733]

I believe the full expression (which no one says anymore) is - Happy as a clam at high tide! Makes more sense that way, yes?!

[@msdm83]

I blend sofrito in batches and freeze in food bags. Works great

[@DarksouIjah]

Although I love your recipes and videos...can you perhaps maybe do a holiday version of Q & A??? I loved the last one that you did.

[@florencebrawner3011]

Oh looks so good. I also think topping it with cooked pieces of chopped bacon would be delicious to and sour cream.

Hey Chef John, can you tell me where you purchased those soup bowls?... And also I've noticed in some of the other videos where your baking sheets always look brand new. How do you clean them? Thank you so much for sharing your recipes!! :😬

I am born in Tuscany about 60 years ago and I continue to live in Tuscany : is the first time I see to make a soup like this and is the first time I know there is, here in Tuscany, a soup made by beans only.

Im making this right now with some turkey stock I made from one of your other videos!

What a hearthy soup, I'm gonna make it, including those powercroutons.
