why good soup ALWAYS tastes better at restaurants 🍅 tomato soup

[@acooknamedMatt]

Good soup is back and tomorrow’s video is about potatoes 🥔 !

[@satvindersingh1506]

Huge fan of your page brother. But as a fan I hope I can offer some criticism without you or other fans being upset with me. I feel a majority of long time subscribers would agree with me though. You already have videos for certain things (searing steaks and curing egg yolks, searing fish with your press down bubble technique... many, many, many more). For us long time subscribers, we've seen this. To get new viewers... I don't know. I've always been a fan of what you're CHEF technique and creativity skills were. Unfortunately, it got repetitive. You're one of the more skilled chefs I've seen on this platform. Go with it! There are plenty to teach the basics. If you're mad my POV... IDGAF

[@BenjiManTV]

Soup… underrated

[@1990matt]

What's the vid where you used the less powerful blender. My only blender is an stick motor/handle with immersion/processor bowl/jug attachments. Also do you know if immersion blenders exist that will get anywhere close to this smooth of a result?

[@emsydv2003]

I'm definitely gonna make this. What's the other spice you added? There's the oregano and red pepper flakes. I didn't see the other one. 😊

[@caseydashtban9504]

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, it makes zero sense how this isn’t at the top of youtube cooking content. It’s literally the most informative and entertaining cooking content on the platform. Keep it going!

[@acooknamedMatt]

Thank you so much

[@arabstyle-gaming6035]

I am very happy with where this channel is going keep it up

[@acooknamedMatt]

I will thank you

[@wesrobinson7366]

I have been cooking all my life and had to learn all this from experimentation. The explanation of the basics is amazing here, helps people know you can modify this to your liking. This soup is perfection with a crunchy grill cheese, my lunch today.

[@lifeofash425]

I love how you took the effort to explain the fundamentals 👍

[@acooknamedMatt]

Glad you liked it

[@masgaz9748]

The bit at 10:44 is a very good etiquette and probably the first time I see an American doing it, so kudos to you man

[@TheMunkzilla1]

I will try this soup. I can say with 100% certainty that French Onion Soup is better at my house than in restaurants. Time to add other soups to my repertoire.

[@hanklynch]

A clam chowder and a lobster or crab bisque would be epic. Love where this is going.

[@lifeofash425]

+1 for lobster/crab bisque pls

[@acooknamedMatt]

Yum ok. 🦞

[@chungkng]

honestly thankful for having you try your best while making these videos. explanations always on point brother thank you once more

[@KritchieXX]

Love the vid, love the channel, always such great quality! But I have a request! Do you think you could either 1. throw up a little recipe card somewhere in the video, 2. link to a recipe of yours in the description, or 3. name the ingredients in the video as you use them? Because I've got no clue what you used at 6:42, I just know it was something dairy based. I'm not an American-based viewer and have a lot of different dairy products available to me that have the consistency of what you used, so really can't be sure just by what was shown in the video. It looked like milk when you were pouring it into the tomato tin, but kinda spread like cream when poured into the soup, but the "pouring" cream I can get looks much thicker than milk so I'm just stumped.

[@karennimmo8231]

My favorite soup hands down, but no MSG for me. Had no idea tips like this could make the soup so much better. I wish I had a gas stove though. I have the Vitamix, which I absolutely love!

[@sworddomo1951]

Looks good. I wonder about other soups New England clam chowder Broccoli and cheese Tortilla Chicken noodle Some sort of shrimp heavy soup.

I’d love to see your take on chicken tortilla soup. I know it’s the basic tex-mex soup you can get anywhere but I’ve been compiling recipes taking what I believe can make it better to make one that blows them all outta the water.

[@AnimeNox]

The recipe on your site is a little different than this. What are the measurements for the seasonings? And how much tomato paste do we use?

[@JustinReynoldsUtah]

Split Pea Soup! There are so many recipes, I’m curious how you’d do it. Bolivian Peanut Soup (sopa de mani), pozole verde, Egg drop soup.

[@donnaradonski2470]

In Everett just north of Seattle there’s a family diner called Totem. It’s been there since the 1950s and has the best split pea soup. They say they are homemade from scratch. It’s really hard to get the perfect Split Pea soup and they have it mastered. It’s been several years since I’ve been able to get there but I hope they still make it. Used to be Wednesday was split pea soup day.

Great vid Matt! Also do the same except haven’t blended for longer than you think so will try it next time! Question: in beginning where did you get the flat wooden stir stick? My old one broke and haven’t found a good one like that. I make a killer split pea soup and cream bacon corn soup if you have would be curious to see if you make it differently. ❤

I do not buy fresh tomatoes at all, the ones from the supermarkets are force ripened mostly and have piss poor flavour and texture. Tomatoes with good flavour and texture are to pricey to be blunt especially now, I do grow my own tomatoes which i process and preserve but i have nowhere near the volume to provide year round while still growing other vegetables. Canned tomatoes is one of the few produce ingredients i buy from the store, I don't buy the best, but buy the best value for the quality so mid range mostly and go ape when an offer is on the good stuff. Since covid lock downs i have converted 80% ish of my back garden to growing vegetables, added a second greenhouse 8' x 12' and filled the conservatory with planters. Sounds rather insane when you write it out but every month my family saves acouple of hundred by growing and preserving our own produce, as well as supplying my parents and my wifes parents. Our children learn a valuable lesson on where food comes from and the work that goes into preserving and cooking there food, dehydrating, freeze drying, canning, vacuum packing, pickling, fermenting, salting and freezing. It takes afair amount of work up front but once you have done it the upkeep is simple, The road i live on has 181 houses and prior to covid lockdowns only afew has small vegetable patches, now more than half have vegetable gardens and we swap produce and seeds. If you can come together as a group it saves costs by sharing equipment, seeds etc. About seeds if you buy some vegetables or fruit you like see if you can collect the seeds and grow your own, rinse and repeat. I bought several types of hierloom tomatoes from the farmers market to try and the ones i liked best i saved the seeds and grew my own, the same for chillis i grow, tried different varities and now grow the ones we like. I would also suggest keeping a reserve of seeds as well just in case, sadly we are ruled by senile old men who seem hell bent on securing there place in history, or just be a prick to everyone. Paranoid, yep you bet i am, i have family to take care of, plan for the worst, pray for the best, Prior Proper Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance vs Piss Poor Planning Promotes Piss Poor Performance, i take to first one seriously as my grandmother told me how her family surived WW1, the great depression and WW2. Take care, God bless one and all. apologies for the novel length post, but i deemed in important with regards to ingredients for your soups and stews, from the view of costs and availability as supply chains are still abit screwed up and fragile, post covid lockdowns.
