Leek and Potato Soup - Marco Pierre White recipe video

[onith87]

oj...

[Antiks72]

I made Julia Child's recipe of this, and it was delicious. Love this soup.

[MikeAK147]

Why sieve the fibres out at the end? They are very good for you!

[iwanttoholdyourbigkn]

He didnt wash the leeks. Leeks are known to have a lot of sand in them. He should wash them before cooking them.

[iwanttoholdyourbigkn]

@music77ify um no. He cut stalks up and put them into the soup - without washing them - or is there another video that shows him washing them?  Cause stupid people like you would tend to just throw it in the pot like he does and choose to eat the sand with it. You know, without thinking.

[iwanttoholdyourbigkn]

@music77ify Hahaha..you graduated from CIA.....so not true. You're too stupid. 6 restaurants in 8 years?? Sounds like you cant hold a job either, or you like peeling potato's and washing pots in different restaurants. You can go and eat your Marco Piero's dick for all I care, and choke on his sandy soup as well. Better yet, why dont you shove a leek in your ass and put yourself in the oven, do us all a favor.

[iwanttoholdyourbigkn]

@music77ify ohhhh....a little bitter are we??  didnt learn much in school did we? hung out with the wrong crowd and smoked too much dope did we?? you pathetic loser. enjoy your life working for others in your meaningless position. hahahaha.....I'll enjoy traveling and eating real food, unlike the shit you serve.

[iwanttoholdyourbigkn]

@music77ify hahahaa........you're so dumb. You and the other mexicans come here thinking you know how to cook. You dont know shit, neither do they. You're just a potato peeler - taco bender. Enjoy your life on the hotline.

[music77ify]

wow

[iwanttoholdyourbigkn]

@music77ify I wouldnt let you boil me an egg in the morning cause you have no idea of what goes on in a kitchen. As for being a troll and looking for flaws.....well, I like things done right and your buddy there didnt wash or mention washing the leeks. Which I would guess you do the same thing in your kitchen where you have no clue. I live a fulfilled life, with family, food, wine and things you only could dream of while you hang with your mexican friends on the hotline. Dumbass.

[williamwilson666]

@iwanttoholdyourbigkn Leeks are well known for being harvested at the beach.

[wanyiren]

@iwanttoholdyourbigkn he might have washed it and simply didnt put it in the video coz everybody knows they have to wash their food therefore there is no point in showing it in the vid. thats how filming works, u edit out the unnecessary stuff..

[iwanttoholdyourbigkn]

@wanyiren you put too much faith in housewives and "cooks" who think they know what they are doing.

[zintosion]

@iwanttoholdyourbigkn umm im not a cook but i know to wash the food first before using it....isnt it common sense?

[iwanttoholdyourbigkn]

@zintosion you would be amazed how many places do not wash things they should wash - at home and in restaurants!!!

[KeMiSTv1]

@wanyiren He washed it..trust me it's Marco ..no need to show it I agree.

[stuev]

look watery

[TheDarwiniser]

01:25 to 01:41

this is why i watch, nay devour, everything this man produces etc.

hes telling you why hes doing what hes doing with the ingredient, not just "do this because i said so".

gold.

[thedr00]

Maybe I missed it, but I don't think he said Knorr in this recipe, just "stock".

[whitbyjet65]

He said he works it constantly but if you watch, he's stood yapping instead of stirring for most of the time.

[mookiemoomoo]

what does cook without colour mean?

[Mfab122]

@mookiemoomoo It means to sweat, not sautee. Sauteeing is cooking with high heat and looking for caramelization. When you sweat something, it should be over lowish heat and you should not be able to hear any sizzling. You are slowly drawing out moisture and slowly changing the acidic content of the leeks over to sugars.

[mookiemoomoo]

@Mfab122 thank you so much :)

[stuev]

@mookiemoomoo cook the vegetables without turning em' brown

[mookiemoomoo]

@stuev thanks :)

[KL005]

Marco's "not too fine" is my "way too fine" =X

[ec08tfa]

i love leek and potato soup

[orrinization]

Blitzing HOT soup in a plastic processor is not genius. It's stupid.

[CornDoctor]

@orrinization is that what rachel ray told you? number 1 that is a food processor and in restaurants we often puree hot mixtures in food processors. it is not a blender. secondly, if you dont put a sealing cover on then it wont blow up when you blend so dont criticize a 3 star chef when you probably get your cooking lessons from paula deen and rachel ray.

[CornDoctor]

@orrinization and if you are worried about crap from the plastic leaking into the food because it is hot, you probably inhale worse things on the street than what will get into the soup from your processor

[orrinization]

@CornDoctor Defensive much?

Be irrational if you want. With all the hormonal problems I see around me (e.g. so many men and women taking Synthroid) I don't trust that plastics manufacturers and chemists know what's going on. BPA is clandestine. Plastics changed civilization for the better, but for hot foods I'm going to find alternatives. Is it that hard to cook in glass?

PS: Where did I mention Rachel Ray? I'm watching a Marco Pierre White video for a reason.

[williamwilson666]

@orrinization Probably best to undertake a period of self-examination before calling one of the outstanding chefs of his generation stupid.

[MikeAK147]

@orrinization I use a metal stick blender.

[Balthaser]

@orrinization The food grade plastics are of course specially considered to handle content that are likely to be hot or acidic in nature, without decomposing and contaminating the food.

[SOBHex]

@orrinization No it's not. Plastic parts of food processors are thick, they are made to last. If you don't blitz it hot, it will go lumpy and disgusting.

[nimrod379]

I pity you Marco.

[robert99999]

Superb presentation there from Marco

[dezsanderson]

Great chef, best in the world

[c1k25]

@engaurd i do appreciate his qualities he is a very good cook and i have attempted many of his recipes but i just think that when he is talking to a camera or to somebody he comes across as a stuck up wanker and i hate it.

[snaggypaggy]

@c1k25 If you appreciated his qualities I don't think you would speak about him in that manner...

[c1k25]

@snaggypaggy lol

[TheChefTonio]

@c1k25 what makes you feel he is stuck up?

[MrMGD92]

@c1k25 thats the way he is,not stuck up but controlled i know it looks as tho hes got nothing to worry about and he don,t,its just i think all the years he spent in a kitchen running it at the top top level hes always had to be in control.

[c1k25]

hate this stuck up wanker!!
