Watching Jacques in his prime is awe-inspiring. His skillful and deft movements look so simple, all because of his casual and masterful instruction. Instead of a cooking video from an expert chef, this felt like a conversation with an old friend. Gosh, I love this man!

As a kid I used to eat a whole bowl of croutons from my grandmother's kitchen while she was making soup and the croutons. They are just delicious when fresh, without anything, as a snack. The croutons were usually made from leftover sourdough Polish bread, fried in butter. I cherish those memories.

When this great man said this was his mothers recipe, I was like yep, gonna make. Not gonna lie, just made it for my folks, and it was deeelish.

Love him. He is on tv. He was very young here.❤

Second week without Jacques from home, I hope he’s doing alright.

Every video is GOLD. Pepin is just the man.

Man, I gotta get my knives that sharp. The way he cuts through that onion is :-)

I'm speechless but yet I'm leaving a comment! Jaques, you make my day when I see you cook. Thank you for being you. You're a gift to us.

No matter what I might do to prep ahead it would still take me at least twice as long as it takes the master. He just blazes through it all the while explaining everything and cleaning as he goes.

Before you make anything, go through the process mentally, compartmentalizing the different ingredients, stages, and items you need to complete the process. You'll find you are able to complete the process much more efficiently.

Why is he the goat! He mastered simplicity, technique which not very chefs get!

so many little tricks like using the whole leek. and how to cut the end off of the garlic for easier peeling , and leaving peeled potatoes in water!. also watching him dice an onion is artwork.

Fabulous! So handsome Chef Jacques!

This is one of my favorite recipes of Jacques. He's updated the recipe since this video to include using an immersion blender at the end instead of the food processor. No need to remove from the pot. Even my meat-eating husband enjoys this soup for dinner - just the soup and croutons - even if I don't add cream. So filling, warming, delicious, and easy to make with readily available ingredients. It really thickens up the second day should you have leftovers.

So glad you commented! I think I'll try it. I do love all the ingredients, and, especially, lots of garlic!

It's amazing to see the younger version of Jacque! You know?!!

Jacque is just pure awesomeness. I made this by accident a couple of weeks ago when I was using up some leftover vegetables from the refrigerator. Lots of leek and garlic but I did not have potatoes at the time. I added chicken broth and pureed in the food processor. It was possibly the BEST pot of soup I have ever made. Soup made from leeks and garlic is a particular pleasure.

Really enjoying Mr.Pepin in his younger days,great then,great now!

I just made this. It was a little thicker than I thought, so I added a little more water after I ran it through the food processor. It's not bad. I only have skim milk, so I didn't add any. I'm drinking some out of a coffee cup right now. That's the first time I ever used a leek in a recipe. Yes, I cut it and washed it. It had clumps of dirt in it. Edit: Oops, I forgot the croutons. lol. Oh well, I"ll make those tomorrow.

Thank you Zacque! You are a blessing. My family loves when i make your recipes. You and yout family are in my prayers.

I have made this soup. It was by far the best soup I have ever had. Today I make it again.

Thank you Chef Pepin for correcting my misconception (from some other misguided cook) about the green part of thee Leek.

This Is Jacque rock and rolling. I just love this guy.

Other than the gray hair, his style and speed haven't changed over the years. He is truly in his realm

Jacques Pepin is AWESOME! I do not call many people my hero but he is one of the very few. Not only has he shared his awesome gift of cooking knowledge with the world, but now he operates a charity with his wife. Thanks to him, I can now have a lovely, proper French omelet (traditional) at home any morning I chose instead of having to walk several blocks in the scorching heat and paying more than I can afford for 3 eggs and a knob of butter (+love and technique!). I watched that video many times and ate many less than desirable omelets but I got it down thanks to his patient explanations. I gotta try this garlic soup now!

My favorite of all time! Pure class Jacques!

I bet this is the soup that General Calvet offered Major Ducos in Sharpe! Thank you for posting it!

Such a joy to watch him👍

He is the best.

Such a pleasure to watch this. Very accurate explanations of what and why and none of that show-boding nonsense camera work you see in many videos of Gordon Ramsay's.

I love that he makes simple recipes, and that he also gives a lot of tips on cooking healthy food and economising ingredients as he goes!

I made this soup and it was absolutely glorious, threw in some parsley and spring onion because both were starting to wilt.

outstanding.. ..this will be dinner tonight. I adore Chef Pepin.

When this man cooks you watch and listen

i love this man

Chef Pepin , Love it !! My Chef Idol !

I can never get tired of watching Jaques Pepin,( not sure if it's correct spelling of his name). Back in the days you didn't need cable or internet, geezz, really look how far we've come...

Jedi Master of the kitchen, amazing knife and technique skills.

Wonderful to be able to see these earlier shows. Fantastic. 👍❤️👍

The master on display. Be safe and happy you wonderful person.

Greetings from southcentral Texas USA 🇺🇸. The soup 🍜 looks fabulous. I will make this as soon as I can; it will be delicious! Thank you, Master Chef Jacques Pepin. Again, thank you. Wonderful.

MacGyver: creates a submarine with duck tape and a piece of paper Chef Pepin: creates the most delicious meal with a mushroom, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and a piece of chicken. ....I'll see myself out

I should make this tomorrow. I have plenty of potatoes and garlic!

Just made this soup yesterday. It is so good. 10/10 will make again!

That looks delicious. I may have a difficult time sharing it with anyone.

I have become a much better cook since watching these quick informative tutorials! My Oma made me potato and garlic soup once! I remember because I said yuck garlic! But I was sick and I ate it, had garlic smell on me for days but I got better! And it did really taste wonderful and was pleasant to look at! Garlic was used as anti inflammatory/ antibiotic type medicine for 100’s of years! Thanks. Yours is a great recipe! ❤

Jacques taught me how make a real french omelette. Master level Chef for sure. Thank you very much sir!

What a great kitchen. Bigger than living room. Lovely tastey soup recipe. Will cook that today or tomorrow

Loved this video. Jacques is a wonderful teacher. I just love being a student in his classroom. Thank you so much Jacques for the delicious recipe and the cooking tips you have shared with us!

I was just looking through my recipes and came across chefs leek and potato soup. This is pretty much the same thing except the addition of garlic, yum! Perfect! I did think it was interesting him mentioning calories. I don't even think about that anymore. The food is so rich, flavorful and satisfying that a little bit will fill me up very quickly.

Hi @KQED! Last week you were asking if we prefer full episodes or clips like this. I have to admit that I prefer the clips since sometimes the different dishes are intertwined in the original episodes. It makes it easier to follow this way. Thank you!

Lovely! I would like to extract a detail: he uses the green parts of the leek. I love this! Been so frustrated from many, many cooking clips where they are simply discarded. Not only is that food waste - Jacques is right (of course lol), it's the best part! More leek taste, and the texture is more exciting than the white parts!

""What I like to do is put about a tablespoon of oil on top of the croutons" (Proceeds to pour a third cup of oil over the croutons)

this looks sooooooo gooooooood !!!!

Damn, so far I've been watching videos of Jacques when he's old and doesn't chop as fast. Still impressive sure but since he's like 20 years younger in this one, the onion chopping was out of this world.

As Jacques alluded years ago, you must be judicious in the use of the food processor because it will turn things into baby food really quickly. Nowadays with immersion blenders, I think I'd use it discreetly and leave some texture.
