You can definitely make this vegetarian or vegan by omitting the pancetta and/or parm rind. The full recipe is always linked in the description. Thanks again for liking and watching our videos!

@richbennett6577 Год назад

Oh man brother don’t take it to heart I’m sure the soup is Devine! The recipe looks amazing but kids are kids. Thank you for sharing another great recipe! Try making traditional dirty dirty rice and see what he thinks about liver 😂😂😂😂

@devorahstree671 Год назад

I made this yesterday--so good! Everything was the same as yours except the greens and pancetta. I used only ground pork and seasoned it like sausage and arugula greens. The combination of the fennel from the pork and the thyme was PERFECTION! I have always hated Minestrone soup, but your version is the new standard. My family loved this soup! 😋😋😋

@louannhuber2651 Год назад

Just a guess. He didn’t like the kale. I’d use spinach.

@michaelauman2501 Год назад

Love it. I'm going to make this with my kids, and let them also be underwhelmed, so I can eat all of it!

@88cgdan Год назад

I know it's probably a bit but I would freakin' mad if I made home-cooked italian food and my kids were like, eh.

@jeanniebrooks 9 месяцев назад

Add tortellini, or Italian sausage, or even pasta like the tiny ones- and they’ll love it! It won’t be minestrone pet se, but your kids will love it like mine do!

7 3/4 rating, yeah right! At first James said it was really good, even better than he expected BUT THEN... he saw you smile. You can't let the kid know your pleased with his response because then he'll want to bring the pain! You gotta keep a poker face! 😂 I'm making this!

@13soap13 Год назад

I absolutely loved this ... because of James. He's growing up. Finding his own voice. And good for DAD allowing his son ... a voice and an opinion. I never make vegetable soup. Why? Because it's "nothing special." Thanks for posting!

@JackieDannenberg Год назад

I’m impressed your son will even try a vegetable soup, forget giving it a score over 5 ! He’s growing up to be very good in his diet and eating dishes that most kids his age won’t even look at. Kudos to you for raising him up right. Looks like a great recipe. Will have to try it when my house is done being renovated. My kitchen is pretty much upside down but kitchen cabinets will be in around the first full week of March. I can NOT wait ! Thanks for such a great recipe !

@liambenz6889 Год назад

I liked how you accepted your sons opinion and didn’t try to dadsplain to him why it actually tastes good 😂

@gabrielavelasquez4719 Год назад

Your son reminds me a lot of me at that age - I couldn't be bothered with minestrone unless I'd loaded it with shredded mozzarella, and I sure let me parents know it! Appreciation for veggies usually comes as they get older, or not at all! He had me dying laughing, though, so kudos to him. This recipe looks great, I've never used pancetta in it before! Thanks as always for the great videos!

@peadee66 11 месяцев назад

Best minestrone that I've ever had. That said, before this I'd only ever had it out of a tin. I've been cooking fresh food pretty much daily now for about 10 years now, and this one was a "must do" for me. It's incredible. The tinned versions of minestrone are awful compared to this. This recipe here will yield about 8 to 10 portions and I can do it for around £7.00 - £8.00. That's just brilliant. I cook the pasta separately to avoid it going stodgy once it cools down. That way I can split it into portions and freeze it. And it freezes perfectly. Less than £1.00 a portion, come on, what's not to love!!! Keep up the good work, Sir!!!!

@SA-hf3fu 6 месяцев назад

*Lol, keep letting his honesty ring!!* He’s a kid. They’re not always into the veggies and we know that. 😄 I’m sure it’s delicious and I’m making it in about an hour. Thank you! 👍🏼 *Update* I made it with a couple of substitutes because we are far from a store. I used Turkey Italian Sausage rather than Pancetta. Added some oregano. I cooked pasta separately to add at serving time. Used 15 oz. can crushed tomatoes but I gotta tell ya, it turned out so good! Hubby and I (70+ years) are still recovering from Covid and I managed to make this. The beauty is that we can eat it for several days and both rest and recover. SO good! Thank you! ❤

@amphoteric Год назад

haha omg, i would love to see you and your son cook together a meal that he prefers and will love! i loooove minestrone soup with a ton of veggies as an adult, but i didn't care for soup as a kid so i get where he's coming from lol

@Shooshoobella7 Год назад

I make Minestrone occasionally, because it's healthy and tasty. I don't put a lot of beans in mine, because they're not my favorite, so I add some pasta as well. It's a very versatile soup and your version looks really good too. But I totally understand your son's reaction, lol. Perhaps he'll appreciate it more as he gets older, like his dad.

James, my kids, like you, weren’t thrilled about minestrone. Now, in their mid 30’s, that ask me to make it. These 7 3/4 will be 10 comfort foods when you don’t live with your parents anymore. Start saving the ricotta containers now!

@truthinlovemama Год назад

I really love your videos and recipes. I’ve made a few so far, always with great results. I make the 15-minute marinara every week. What I realized with this video, though, is why I like your videos so much. They are so authentic, like we are being invited to your house for dinner. It’s the combination of the color palette of your kitchen, your easygoing personality, the background music (on point!), and the inclusion of your family. And of course, the food! I’ve watched lots of channels on RU-vid, and they all have different styles. Yours is the most homey and welcoming of all. 🍝

@stephaniefeddock776 Год назад

Love the safe space you created for James to share his honest feedback. The soup looks amazing and I have dinner ideas for tomorrow now.

@scottjustis3521 8 месяцев назад

I've got to tell you, I don't usually leave comments I'll just try a recipe and decide if I like it or not or if I should change it in any way. This Minestrone is among the best I have ever had. I have a culinary background, Have traveled immensely, Live in New Jersey (please don't hold that against me -haha), and am a definite "FOODIE", I love soup and minestrone is one of my favorites. Your Son is cute and I see in your face your hoping for that home run of 9.5 or perfect 10 but I'd say if he has tried what some people out there call Minestrone soup He'd agree with me and give you a 9.98 because this is put simply the best recipe I have ever tried for minestrone soup!! The ONLY thing I changed (Added) was some Ditilini in mine, I just like the pasta. Kudos and great Job!!

@tjrzippy5203 2 месяца назад

Your version is very similar to our family version. We don’t have a potato we had cauliflower instead of kale, the zucchini, but we also had chicken to make a little bit more of a hearty dinner time type meal. We use the prosciutto or the ham if we have it if we don’t real minute, it’s nice to see that other people have versions of it that look as good and taste as good as yours because they made it your way now when I make it again, I will probably keep the kale keep the zucchini, which I always had right near the end because I don’t like it to squishy I’ll probably add garbanzo beans along with the cannellini beans one step you do very much differently than we do right near the end. When you’re kind of thickening it, we add a very heavy, the tomato paste with Panko Romano I love the soup is a good way to clean out the fridge and make a very large quantity of soup when I make it I tend to make somewhere between four and 5 gallons at a time.

I made a really nice ham and lentil soup this weekend with a desalinated ham steak, mirepoix, lentils and a quart of chicken stock. It's amazing what you can do with only a few ingredients. For around six lunch sized bowls, it cost me about $7.50. Even the Mrs. was really happy with the offering.

@kalo924 Год назад

Dear Sir, I made it southern style and I don't mean Calabrian. We have an organic veggie garden and can stuff every year. So in place of Tuscan kale, I used collard greens. In place of tomato, I used our own canned tomato with okra. In place of limas, I used pintos and great northern beans. In place of pancetta, I pressed then cubed firm tofu and marinated it in a smoky mix. I used my own veggie stock. Just tasted it. Buono! Love from Alabama ❤️

@landamathis4295 Год назад

Perfect timing James! It's in the high 30s with a little snow in the Bay Area right now. I forgot the pancetta and ended up using a mixture of veggie + a dash of chicken Better than Bouillon… fantastic. If I weren't so lazy I would've served it up French onion soup style with a big ol parmesan + sour dough crouton on top. One bit of feedback though: I strongly prefer the videos where you put the name of the recipe in the title instead of something click baity like "easy pasta dish" or "best thing ever".
