I don't think people realize the value of a big pot of homemade soup. Not only is it nutritionally dense in vitamins, but it's also hearty and filling and very easy on the grocery budget. I make this soup and it's quite similar, however adding the basil is something I've never thought of. Every once in a while, I mix it up and add a small can of quality diced tomatoes. I freeze all my soups and yes, they last for a very long time. I will certainly be trying that when my next crop (next summer) is ready to enjoy. Thanks Jean-Pierre, always enjoy your videos and P.S. YOU CAN COOK FOR ME ANYTIME.
I commend you for combing recipes! I always say, " It's your soup...do what pleases you. " That's what I do! I combine minestrone (with both beans and pasta) along with spicy Italian sausage crumbles, tomato paste and diced tomatoes. Brown the sausage first, remove and set aside, then cook the veggies in the rendered fat. If I'm freezing a bunch of it, I cook the pasta separately, and staple the smaller freezer bag of the pasta to the larger bag of soup. Very hearty, a bit spicy, and very yummy!
Hey chef, just noticed your energy is a little down, but I still love your smile. No matter what happened in life, if grandma and mom have passed or anything else, I hope you know we love you and appreciate everything you do. Please keep smiling and keep cooking!! I love every video 😊
This minestrone recipe is almost identical to the traditional minestrone I used to enjoy many moons ago at a little family-run Italian restaurant in Sussex (Hove). Since moving, & decades later, I have never encountered Minestrone like it and therefore make my own. It is so nice to see this recipe by Jean Pierre. Spot on. It nourishes the soul. I made this post Christmas but with the stock of the smoked gammon and it was sublime.
Spent yesterday making a vegetable stock and seafood stock....full freezer! Guess what we are having for dinner! I have never had a minestrone soup without both pasta and beans....like yu said, everyone makes it different. Thank you for all you and your team do.
I cook with leftovers in mind. When using rice/pasta in soup I cook it separate in broth for flavor but add it to the bowl when serving and store it separate in the fridge so it doesn't absorb all the liquid and turn the soup to moooosh after a day or two.
It's a chilly, dreary, misting rain day here so it was an ideal day to make soup. And so neat when you said you were going to make minestrone!! Thank you, dear Chef, for another great recipe! God bless. 🙏💝
Loved hearing about your mom and Grandma in this recipe!!!! Cannellini beans are so underrated ! They are so yummy in this soup! Thank you for sharing this with us with your amazing fun happy personality . I can’t imagine how fun it would be to cook with you
I made this tonight, and it was so easy! My husband said it was the best soup he’s ever had! It really was delicious. I love how adopting your cooking methods has changed my life! Love you, Chef! ❤️
It's 9.26.24 @ 11:30 PM here on the east coast. I believe I could eat half of the pot of soup! Your portion control needs work! Never large enough! lol. Fantastic! May God Bless You, Sir!
My friend! We enjoy watching you perform each week. So amazing! Thank you. Do want to comment about stirring the pot, drives me crazy (short road!) when you're missing the section closest to you.... 😜
Great recipe. Made for my wife and mother in law last night. Skipped the green beans and added a some diced smoked turkey sausage that I sautéed at the end. None of us are vegetarian so the meat helped add some more hearty flavor. Keep up the great work and we will continue to tune in to watch you share your passion.
You read my mind Chef JP! I've been planning to make a minestrone soup for this season of fall. I love yours very much. Mine, I use to call it zucchini soup until my friend from Italy had it, and told me I was stupid cuz I made a minestrone. 😂. I had no idea. But I love the fact that you can put the kitchen sink of veggies in this soup and it's still a minestrone and everyone can make it their own way. Amazing soup for the soul! God Bless you Chef! And God Bless America! 💪😎🇺🇸 How come you stopped saying God Bless America at the end? I can read it, but I miss hearing it from you. 🙏 It's okay. You're still my favorite person in cooking and my best teacher. ❤️
My mum had to blend the soup when I was a kid because she always put Fagioli del Papa in, as a kid they were absolutely revolting. Now they are my favourite beans to eat. we always put hock in minestrone too.
My Father was a hunter as well as me but to a lesser degree having a lot of different meats on hand, we would brine and smoke venison bones like ribs and normal soup bones .. I have had this soup in many ways .. my favourite way is to use smoked cured venison bones really really good can't beat it in the middle of a Canadian winter making fresh bread like biscuits or just ordinary white bread fresh from the oven ..I would have at least 3 to four bowls .. it is a great food memory
I made this soup for dinner last night. Used Onyon, Carrot, Celery, Green Beans, Squash for the veggies, and a reduced chicken stock. Cannelloni beans and egg noodles. Finished with diced chicken breast. It was fantastic! I think the best soup I have ever made. Thank you, Chef for the inspiration.
Oh Chef, what I wouldn't give to be your apprentice! My 93 year old aunt made the best minestrone I had ever tasted, but she sadly passed away a couple years ago and I never acquired her recipe. I will gladly put your recipe to the test.
Nothing like making food from your memories of home. I guess alot of people have their favorites growing up. Great video Chef JP. Will look forward to the next one. Cheers!!
60 years ago our landlord (from Sicily) would occasionally make Minestrone by the cauldronful! They would have us come by and serve us up huge bowls of soup. At 10 years old I only ate and went back out to play. NOW I appreciate all that goes into making a decent Minestrone! Thank you, Chef!!
Hello Chef Jean Pierre, in autumn my family loves to sit and eat good minestrone soup. I will certainly try your recipe and have my family tell me how much they like it. If it's like any other recipes I made for them to try. Your recipes of course) I know it will be a success. Thank you for sharing your expertise and great recipes. Best Regards.
Looking forward to making this! BTW, shameless plug here...Got the Fig Balsamic vinegar last week and can't put the bottle down. Works on almost everything and the acidity is in the background, but not overpowering! Will be ordering another one soon! Thanks Chef JP!!!
We love shameless plugs Al! Thank you, we are very proud of our oils and vinegars, and nothing feels better than hearing an unsolicited testimonial! Two desserts for you All! 🙏🙏🙏😊
i have to try this recipe. i never use potato and pasta together. usually one or the other since the starch would be too heavy. especially when adding beans and carrots. this is a very rich and comforting soup. perfect for the fall weather. sometimes i like to experiment with herbs and the aroma and flavor i got from grinding fennel seed was amazing.
Love it Chef! You're right, families differ in the way they make minestrone. My family uses dried pinto beans, soaked over night and diatalini . In the summer a nice scoop of pesto added to the pot. We even use broken up spaghetti. Oh the memories! Good thing cold weather is upon us. Will be making this soon.
It's soup season in the Midwest and this minestrone looks delicious and I love a one pot dish. No more condensed can soups for me since watching your soup recipes which can be easily made and the taste is incomparable! Thank you Chef!👍❤️
Dear Chef J-P congratulations for another fantastic recipe!! Fresh, healthy, colorful, tasty. I use to grow up most of vegetables in my own garden. We usually prepare brood / stock with a piece of meat that boils for 2-3 hours. A tasty dish eaten during the winter season as a starter heat yourself up or as a main course. I usually get it as main course followed by an apple pie .... a delicious dinner served with a bit of parmigiano reggiano or sbrinz.. Viva il minestrone !! Cin cin Chef J-P 🙂
Hello from Germany, Chef! I made the soup this morning. Exactly the way you made it. It took me some time to chop the vegetables, but it was worth it! Thank you for this wonderful recipe. My youngest son, a true soup expert, gave me the highest praise. He has never had such a delicious soup. Thank you again and I look forward to more recipes. I am so glad to have discovered this channel. Everything I have cooked from you so far has been extra class! By the way, my wife and I took our honeymoon to Ft. Lauderdale in 1980. We must have missed each other somehow 😉 .
Chef! Here you go again spoiling us with more soups. I love minestrone and I love that you shared both your mom and grandmothers recipe. :-) Thanks chef!
Made this today using your recipe exactly as described in video. I even made your vegetable stock recipe and used it as you did. I don’t think I can ever bring myself to ordering Minestrone in a restaurant ever again. Nothing is going to come close to the rich flavors and textures as this recipe! Thank you Chef!! 🙏
My Mother made soup like this before and we always added in the end when serving some butter, and the soup just reached super high levels of flavor, you should try it :D
YES , ONYA IS ALWAYS FIRST, UNLESS THERE IS BACON , LOVE IT CHEF JEAN PIERRE.
👍👍👍😊
Anytime I cook now, I always start with the onyo, and then I say to myself "Remember friends! Onyo is always number first!" Love you Chef!!
👍👍👍😊

Good post my friend.
Today is one of those days where I really wanted soup! I am sick and husband doesn’t cook 😭
Chef Jean Pierre is so genuine and down to earth with his teaching. My new favorite chef on RUclips hands down!!
He’s awesome! Always entertaining and food is amazing too
We kept it kosher; easy. Bless your mom and grandmom.
Just how I make it. Pasta and beans of course. Nice hunk of crisp Italian bread.
Stay healthy, Chef.
I cannot imagine a world without you, my friend.
Needless to say that I absolutely love your work.
Perfect food for cold autumn days!
my friend, you know the answer: . . . . . you're the BEST ! ! !
I use shredded cabbage instead of lettuce, never have i thought about lettuce in soup! Can't wait to try it!

I'm from Alberta Canada, it's cold up here in the winter, this will warm me up, thanks Chef!
My favorite soup! Perfect for Thanksgiving!
Thank you chef for sharing your matriarchs' recipe!
Thanks Chef Jean-Pierre!

God bless Chef's mother and grandmother.
My favorite soup I do make it all a time
I always use swiss chard for my minestrone - love the taste!. Thank you for reminding me to cook it again!
Two of my favourite things right here - Chef JP and Minestrone
I cook with leftovers in mind. When using rice/pasta in soup I cook it separate in broth for flavor but add it to the bowl when serving and store it separate in the fridge so it doesn't absorb all the liquid and turn the soup to moooosh after a day or two.
WOW! Soup with everything in it!!
It's a chilly, dreary, misting rain day here so it was an ideal day to make soup. And so neat when you said you were going to make minestrone!! Thank you, dear Chef, for another great recipe! God bless. 🙏💝

It seems very very healthy and easy to prepare
my o my, how easy is that to make...thanks for the recipe
This is my favorite recipe so far. Authentic Italian, straight form mamma's hands.
I made this tonight, and it was so easy! My husband said it was the best soup he’s ever had!
It really was delicious.
I love how adopting your
cooking methods has changed my life!
Love you, Chef! ❤️
What a nice person Jean Pierre is! Always gets me in good mood ❤
Perfect winter dish.
It's 9.26.24 @ 11:30 PM here on the east coast. I believe I could eat half of the pot of soup! Your portion control needs work! Never large enough! lol. Fantastic! May God Bless You, Sir!

Amazing !!
Chef, you make every recipe come together so effortlessly.
Thanks for Blessing us with your culinary wisdom.
Best way to start my week ❤
🙏🙏🙏😊
There's only one thing better than a bowl of minestrone soup....2 of them.....awesome video Chef Thanks so much!

It's okay. You're still my favorite person in cooking and my best teacher. ❤️
Nobody doesn't like minestrone soup. Thanks my friend.
Thank you Chef. This looks amazing! I’m sure you made your mom and grandma very proud and continue to do so!😊
🙏❤️
Just watching the ingredients had my mouth watering.
Love soup when the weather starts cooling down
I hope the Chef never runs out of recipes!
Chef you are so blessed in so many ways, keep up the fantastic work you do, God Bless.
🙏🙏🙏😊
Souper!!! I must try it.
Oh my!!! Thank you Chef...I can't wait to make this for my family. I am DEFINATELY spreading the word about my favorite Chef!!
kudos to your mom and grandmother

My mom would use a big bottle of V8 juice for the stock sometimes, so good. Thanks for another wonderful recipe Chef Jean.
I made this soup for dinner last night. Used Onyon, Carrot, Celery, Green Beans, Squash for the veggies, and a reduced chicken stock. Cannelloni beans and egg noodles. Finished with diced chicken breast. It was fantastic! I think the best soup I have ever made. Thank you, Chef for the inspiration.

There's nothing like a really well made minestrone! Looking forward to trying this out!
Does anyone else think of Jonathan Winters when Chef says "rub all over My body"?
@@robertakerman3570 Sad to say, I thought of the butter scene in "Last Tango in Paris" . . .
@@robertakerman3570 yup
It’s that time of the year for hot soups, stews of brisket and shin beef. Bravo chef, amazing as ever.
I love his energy. I'm going to put this soup together today. It's a cloudy fall day. Perfect 👌🤍😅
Years ago my wife and I had a restaurant: Soups, Salads & More. I absolutely love soups! Can't wait to try this out. Thanks Chef!!
Soups are here
For the Season ❤️
You are the Best
Chef
God Bless America 🇺🇲🇺🇸

I think I have a bruise from thumbs upping Chef JP’s videos so quickly!
Awesome video Chef. Have you got a video on Italian wedding soup?
Best home made minestrone recipe I have ever seen.🙏
Excellent -More soup recipes, please!
Pasta Fazool ?

Who needs a soup maker machine . As always very inspiring ,mouthwatering and educational. Thank you chef .

I've always wanted to make minestrone soup. Looks delicious and will do good for a nice warm up this winter.
I'm making this soup and I call it ribollita. I love it! 😍
Love Minestrone, thank you for the recipe and tutorial Chef. God Bless and stay safe.
It's soup season in the Midwest and this minestrone looks delicious and I love a one pot dish. No more condensed can soups for me since watching your soup recipes which can be easily made and the taste is incomparable! Thank you Chef!👍❤️

Perfect timing Chef, winters almost here, will definitely make this and freeze the rest , for the next 17 Winters!
Minestrone Soup has been my favorite soup, Chef Jean-Pierre!
Thank you, for teaching us how to cook it homemade!
A great recipe! With much respect to your mum and Grandma, I will definitely be making this. Thanks Chef JP.
Never A disappointment, Thanks For Sharing , Great Soup
Another Chef Jean-Pierre treasure. Thanks Jean-Pierre, please pass the onyos!

My husband made your Minestrone Soup. We loved it. Thank you for all the recipes. There hasn't been one that we've tried that we didn't like.
Chef! Here you go again spoiling us with more soups. I love minestrone and I love that you shared both your mom and grandmothers recipe. :-) Thanks chef!
Another fantastic video with a beautiful recipe to up my soup game :-) Thank you so much!
Made this today using your recipe exactly as described in video.
I even made your vegetable stock recipe and used it as you did.
I don’t think I can ever bring myself to ordering Minestrone in a restaurant ever again. Nothing is going to come close to the rich flavors and textures as this recipe!
Thank you Chef!! 🙏
We have never made this soup but that will change now.
I was going to make chicken soup this week, but this is now what I will do. Great recipe, again, JP.
Glad to see my favorite chef has this recipe! Just discovered my toddler loves minestrone soup so I can’t wait to follow this recipe.
Time to thaw out the veggie stock... looks good friend!
My Mother made soup like this before and we always added in the end when serving some butter, and the soup just reached super high levels of flavor, you should try it :D
Your mom sounds AMAZING!!!
This is why I love your channel you always come up with something different that I love going to try this and maybe add a little rice
Chef you are magnificent! Please include more quizzes! Thank you for all you do!
Thank you! Will do!
