Gordon Ramsey - Brocolli Soup

[dino1261]

Very wasteful as always Ramsay...threw away 20 pc of the broccoli

[jonn8ball]

a bowel full of goodness

[betup47]

love your cooking but there are alot of people that hate Goat Cheese!!! I wish you would tell us what else would be a good choice.

[Dragon4eva]

@betup47 refer to the cup.

plain old soup

[GoHawks4]

This really is as good as he says, surprisingly.

[Ferret5317]

Ghost cheese.

[mariai1000]

mi mas grande admiracion,,, desearia hacer un curos con el pero no se como llegar a contactarlo

[davelukic]

It hasn't got shallots sweated down for 20 minutes... but it has ash rolled goats cheese?

[grovesbm]

no lid traps the gas in YOU LIL FUCKER.........FULL ROLLIN BOIL BLANCH IN SMALL BATCHES! but other than that it's baby food

[samoged]

my poop is now green! TY

[pokerace420]

im impressed

[roman14032]

destroyed the broccoli

[jjringo]

I though Ramsey was going to empty that entire bowl of salt into the waterO_O

[superhamzah85]

I'm in Glasgow, made the soup, froze it took it out, let it thaw a little bit, battered it, and deep fried it. Life's too short.

[HybridDolphin]

I fucked it up =(

[SpermBall69]

anyone else thinks brocolli looks like a tiny tree?

[forallthesheeple]

@SpermBall69 its looks like a tiny massive tree

[ZuccottiPark]

@SpermBall69 I don't see it. 

[Izumi1234]

See he's not a bad guy :D He blessed vegetarians! Other chefs don't have that reaction >_>

[SaintMichael82]

I like how he says "Bless 'em" referring to vegetarians lol

[cookiemashing]

did he just say this is good for vgetarians,bless them?

[gusselinius]

What show is this from?

[ninjajesus81]

I just ate some of this and it was pretty good. I made some changes though. Instead of cheese, I used cookies, and instead of broccoli soup, I used nothing.

So yeah, I just ate some cookies out of a bag.

[TheKhaosdogg]

Just made this with cauliflower instead of brocolli, used normal cheese instead.. my god this soup is fantastic.

[NICKAHLO]

OMG!!! this is baby food, come on, he only made broccoli purée, this soup is such a pity!!!

[Thycid]

@NICKAHLO So any other broccoli soup, would still be broccoli purée with a few things added. No?

[flyfishJJA]

@NICKAHLO I imagine you have not eaten it, I love it, it is delicious.

[PokeyBessie]

This just goes to show you can make a simple cheap dish and spike the price yet people can't tell how cheap it is because you made it EPIC. I love to cook now because of this man. Of course I can't afford half of the stuff he cooks with :O) And of course I love the comments he makes at vegetarians even on here "bless them" :D

[BreezyBluefields]

Made it for lunch, and I thought it was pretty dismal to be honest. However, I like Gordon's recipes for the most part, and well, you can't win them all. On to the next one then...

[mikzemaj]

he just busted out the stewey griffin accent......"smooooth." haha

[cliftonologycl]

Made it last night. Very good. I didn't tighten the bottom of the blender so I lost my first batch lol. Second one was better anyway. Lol.

[speedyspooley]

"And it's great for vegetarians too.....bless them"

[TijmenDal]

2:34 Smooooth!

[copperhead88]

I heard brocolli is very unhealthy it will kill you eventually... it actually gives you cancer so DONT EAT IT !

[jjay75]

@copperhead88 It kills cancer cells better than any other food and actually reverses cancer.

[copperhead88]

@jjay75 haha I know dude I was only joking :) xD

[jjay75]

@copperhead88 you just got counter trolled dude

[cosmicnights]

@copperhead88 that's only the brocolli grown with chemicals.

[crzy4euro1979]

@copperhead88 Psssttt.....we're all going to die eventually. I don't think the majority are dying from the broccoli...

[ChrisAgs88]

I actually made this soup the other day. Not as puree-like as Ramsey did it, but still delicious and goopy. And filling!

[korencek]

did he steal this recipe from athenewins's mom? ^^

[copperhead88]

@korencek lol

[evilkevin232]

Made this for my family a year or so ago...everyone had green poop

[csplinter]

@evilkevin232 You say that like it's a bad thing

[dragateli]

this guy's a retard

[skiie]

lol my boy Ramsey is selling water and broccoli to hipsters for 20$+ a plate i bet.

[marcusduck]

@skiie you're his mom?

[simonhillwrexham]

@skiie 'Your Boy' Ramsay? Is he from the hood too?

[testsubjectzz]

@skiie biggest joke is selling water for 3 dollars a bottle

[darlagoddesshate]

@skiie hey at least hes honest about it.

The man makes money by not really doing much to food. He keeps it simple, knows how to balance flavor, and thinks anyone can do it. Yet he knows sooooo many don't he is a busness man with a frying pan

[Izumi1234]

@darlagoddesshate nicely explained :D

[EPICT0ASTER]

@skiie Hipsters have no money, so you're full of shit.

[drewmaughan]

I had the cauliflower soup at one of his pubs. I'd imagine it was made the same way, but it was gorgeous - and I'm not a soup person.

[inmens]

There's something missing here: garlic.

[mirnaknin]

i always wanted to make broccoli soup, but all the recipes i found on the internet require chicken stock, but this is so easy!

[wadefulp]

I need to make this soup more, it's really good.

[madamerotten]

I am a troll, and have no business here. Please hate me.

[TheRealAlanPartridge]

I made this it was lovely...but everyone else who tried it just laughed...Wat more did they expect from just brocolli and water?

[BerthaDee]

i am a ominvore, strong on the carnivore, but i LOVE my veggies

this looks phenomenal

and super easy :)

[fizzellicious]

ahhh..thank u chef GR=it was sooo yum!

[007majorgonzo]

When you add oil to food somtimes it will leave your mouth all oily after you bite it. like fried chicken.. or if u saute somthing and the oil aint hot doesnt make the sizzlin sound when u drop it in.. WhY DID THE OIL WORK FOR THIS RECIPE??? i know olive oil is very good for you and is on the euro food pyramid! you can pretty much wear it and its good for skin. Email me bout why u can pour it on after

[FindyourFeminine]

@007majorgonzo For flavor.

[Annie1962]

@007majorgonzo olive oil is very light... it won't stick to your mouth like other fats do.

[FindyourFeminine]

Actually there is scientific proof showing the relation of animal protein to cancer. Check out the book "The China Study" I stopped eating meat because I got cervical cancer, once I went vegetarian the cancer went away in 2 months, no meds or surgery or anything. I love to cook and eat meat once in a while but it is not necessary to eat every day. If you do eat it, make sure it is grass fed and organic.

[sethy2004]

Looks like the green goblin just took a shit.

[benslooking4junk]

sexy

[greenlibr0n]

@californiadajatt Agree.Same thing happened with me.

I bet if he uses same recipe in his 3 star restaurants..

[jgzero23]

I'm going to incorporate some cream cheese with mine.

[FamilyOfMan1975]

Forget the goat cheese. Add a little Velveeta to it when it's in the blender.

mmmmmmm

Brocolli and cheese soup.  Yummy

[Iambenjoz]

I'm vegetarian. :D

[FrauleinNess]

No pepper...? Dare devil you Ramsay.

[illirond]

seriously, chef is the hardest job in the world. how many thousands of recipes are there to remember?

[realhiphop087]

WOOT that looks easy none of those urban ingredients :)

[TheSteffan1980]

I cant believe there are 'die hard vegie's' making comments on this, comparing eating meat to eating a dead corpse...really?? Vegetables have feelings too you know! Didnt you hear the brocolli screaming as it went round in the blender?? Poor brocolli :( Trees also have feeling...next time you use a pencil, remember the tree that died, so you could write that note...you b*stards!!

[usagi18]

@TheSteffan1980

Agreed... there's not such a thing as "cruelty free food", unless you're eating rocks, you are always eating something that used to have life, whether if it was an animal or a plant.

[CraigMate18]

@TheSteffan1980 Dont forget they eat the animals they claim to loves food! I dont see how vegetarians can go out for a meal knowing there is limited choices for them compared to meat lovers. Give me a nice thick medium rare fillet steak anyday! Nice and pink with the blood running out! Fuck the veggies Im not changing what I eat to keep Greenpeace happy!

[Dumb85]

this fed me thru uni, thank you gordon

[tofusauce]

i used heavy cream with it too

[nybeath]

he's unusually calm. 

[yOsHiBrO]

@nybeath He's usually like this when not on an American tv show. All his European shows show him in a much more natural, calmer state.

[taroshita]

try adding sauteed garlic and onions !!! way better ! ,,

[isawacat]

Made this. Mine was way too runny, but still delicious! And I usually hate broccoli.

[subd9986]

great for vegetarians as well,bless em rofl

[harvard004]

ok. too bland (or subtle?) for my taste.

guess i'm use to quizno's yummy version

[kurilandia]

didn't he wash the brocolis?

[alexanderthegreat100]

@kurilandia that all happens during prep.. if you watch him on tv do you want to see him washing broccoli or cooking food? lol

[1982FMJ]

i've tried blended soup as honestly think vegetable soup is nicer witht the vegetables not blended and whole. Far more tastier.

[abaigealduda]

Have broccoli in the garden that is ready to harvest. Can't wait to try this recipe with one plant that is ripe, but not particularly "pretty." 

[iononcentro]

Some originality......it's at least 300 years that we make this "passata di broccoli" in Italy.

[gussinajninen]

This is amazing but I hate brocolli :D

[animaegray]

@gussinajninen Chances are, you hate it because you've never tasted it properly cooked. Brocolli is incredibly easy to steam/boil (just like Ramsay showed), however, it's just as easy to screw it up - cook them for a minute or two more than required and you've got a dark green-ish rubbery piece of crap.

[superstar85ca]

I can't imagine not adding any green onion or garlic...wow. But since it is Gordon's recipe, I trust that it is delicious so I'm going to make it just like this!!  Can't wait!

[Bla31n]

eh-kay.

[toxkypaulina]

I love this guy...

[TimsterGraffiti]

BLESS THEM. HAHAHAHA

[pkflake]

blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh

[becoo1]

"uh" hah he loves saying that.

[Lunawhynot]

I just made this soup too. I had to use frozen brocolli florets and mozeralla cheese. Oh well, it's all I had. I'm no vegetarian, but I want to creatively include more vegetables in my diet. Wonderfully simple and delicious dish.

[Lamar560]

I love his work and if you stop by here I love your cooking period it taste beyond good in every way and it's made way healthier. We need more cooks like you .... future chef!

[cheeco8]

Best recipe ever so simple so perfect

[MrMartinHead]

"Great for vegetarians aswell.. Bless 'em."

I very nearly spat my drink out.

[InsomniacMac]

Delish! My hubby and I just made this at home! Who would have thought?! Broccoli and water!!! This has to be SOOOO healthy, too! Especially, when I know we don't get enough veggies in our diet. (We used just a smidge of crumbled Feta on top instead of the goat cheese, since that's what we had on hand. It really didn't even need it!)

[InnuendoXP]

it shouldn't if the broccoli is nice and fresh and you've seasoned the soup properly. Unless you don't have enough water or your puree isn't fine enough. If it's slightly rough or lumpy or if there isn't enough water then it doesn't carry the flavour properly and just tastes like mush. Now if it was cauliflower soup THEN maybe a bit of cream and white pepper ;)

[getalifedarling]

*broccoli

[archiepops]

Wow just come across this looking for a tasty low cal soup. Does anyone know if I could freeze this at all? Thanks.

[Natedawg422]

Broccoli soup is good, but cauliflower soup is amazingly better, especially if a bit of cream is folded in.

[criticalmass181]

@Natedawg422 Yessssss....Cauliflower soup rules. As well as cream, I like to put a little (very) crispy bacon in. Yummo!

[4youk]

salt brocolie water.. wonder how that would tast

[nig521]

what I like about Gordon's recipes that they are all very simple and you don't have to go to some speciality store to buy ingredients. he also is very precise in his instructions, does not waste words which you make you really focus and remember. love that!

[lomat]

what tv series is this from?

[Jaximus0001]

@lomat

i think it's either The F Word or just a internet cooking webcast that ramsay made

[bonzibonzibonzi1987]

@lomat This was just an internet post. It wasn't on TV.

[SmallWorldFilms]

I tried this recipe and it was very good. The broccoli has the most lovely deep green color after it is briefly cooked. I wanted a bit more complexity so I sweated a very small amount of onion and garlic and added it.

[SBarnez]

"This thing is great for vegeterians too, bless 'em"

Hahaha, fucking love Ramsey.

[oskiH]

lolololol tooo nice

[suranjangupta22]

@SBarnez how can the top 2 most rated comments be same???

[HerrCroy]

@SBarnez

what's the name of cheese?

[sarfanco]

Its great when you melt Stilton in the soup makes it very lovley

[takadi]

Looks kind of nasty to be honest. I'll take saddle of lamb cooked with a lb of butter, thanks

[CT2507]

@takadi u should try it. forget how it looks. its delicious!

[Natedawg422]

why not have both!

[Charr3169]

not exactly my cup of tea.. i'd like at least one other flavor in the soup, something to think over. chop and sautee some leeks, pop in when you blend, and add a spot of garlic, and this soup would be spot on for me.

[kokojohoko]

no one cares

[CT2507]

@Charr3169 he is just showing u the basic soup. u can add garlic and other stuff in as u please.

[jenniferinsanee]

'this is really good for vegetarians as well, bless them.' HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

[mikedrazen]

@jenniferinsanee more meat for you then, just so u know, meat is a dead corpse, you're eating something unnatural, unhealthy, unmoral, ungood

there are your chicken, beef, pork, fish, as your main meats, there are thousands of different types of vegetables nuts and seeds.

[PTurchan1]

@mikedrazen

Meat is unnatural? Demonstrate this. Also, demonstrate how meat is unhealthy. Thanks.

[mikedrazen]

@PTurchan1 it's unhealthy cuz it's got growth hormon and its like eating blank, its got no protein or calories when you eat meat, just blank, unnatural cuz humans dont eat meat

[PTurchan1]

@mikedrazen

Not all meat has growth hormone.

Meat that has growth hormone is an ample source of protein and fat, therefore having calories.

Humans do eat meat.

In order to validate your claims, you need to provide research that supports your claims. There are many things that are natural that are bad for us and there are many things that we do/use that are not natural, but we do so anyway.

[CraigMate18]

@PTurchan1 Humans dont eat meat? Are you joking me! Since the dawn of man we have eaten meat. My ancestors, your ancestors and everyones ancestors hunted animals for their meat, furs and bones.

If vegetarians love animals so much then why do you eat their main food!

[Zephilindrum]

@mikedrazen There's meat grown without hormones nor anything artificial.

Who cares anyway, we all die in the end. What's important is moderation, not complete removal of a certain aspect of a normal diet.

[stareagle11]

@mikedrazen

The human is designed by nature to handle both fruits, veggies, buts etc and meats. Nothing unnatural about it and we done it for millennia.

Beside death corpse or not it tastes great, but that is the reason I only bio organic meats I want that taste.

Also only reason not to eat meat a lot is the environment it is very inefficient to produce meat and it tasks the environment badly.

[JamesKendric]

@mikedrazen Lol your comment dosen't make a lot of sense

[JamesKendric]

@mikedrazen doesn't*

[bananian]

@mikedrazen

exactly. People, eating dead corpse is immoral. We must switch our diet to eating live corpse!

[mikedrazen]

@bananian i like the way u think, like a zombie, i like zombies, u derserve a steak

[CraigMate18]

@mikedrazen Im tucking into a fillet steak tonight nice and pink! Fuck your veggies I'll never stop eating meat to please you animal huggers! seeing as the animals are farmed and hunted for their meat.

[suranjangupta22]

@jenniferinsanee how can the top 2 most rated comments be same???

[southarmaghdave]

followed to the exact directions and it simply tasted like watery brocolli and i guess i should have realised that before hand, stick to the potato stock, onions brocolli etc much nicer

[chinoischef]

I use this recipe often and i get a strong flavoured soup. Seems you put too much of the broccoli water in the blender or over cooked it. The brocolli i use is not even the best quality.

Potato stock? are you serious?

[southarmaghdave]

yeah chino i was careful to not over cook it as i hate when its overdone and i was fairly careful with the water just ended in disappointment, but using the stock and onions etc yes i guess its not a powerful broc taste but just enough with a few other flavours to make it more interesting i guess,

[southarmaghdave]

chino i made the mistake of watching your curry video i can still hear that spoon clanging off the pot/pan 10 minutes after i watched it, looked not too bad though, pitty about the banging

[chinoischef]

dont know what you've done wrong then.

Thanks for the compliment

[yonimiller]

You either made it too watery, and/or under seasoned it. And yea, like the guy above mentions, I hope you used FRESH brocolli.

[155qwerty155]

Holy fuck, this a fucking living nightmare! Not really...

[Zaknefain69]

holy fuck this is amazing

[wadefulp]

The thing I like about Gordon Ramsey is he explains everything in a way that makes sense and it's easy to understand. Too many cooking shows leave you scratching your head. Chef Ramsey cuts through the BS and tells you how to cook things properly. He really has a passion for food and it's great he enjoys sharing his knowledge with all of us.

[49fiori]

@wadefulp and his like money too...

[Darkshadowside]

I disagree with him discarding the stems.

[wadefulp]

I think he got rid of the stems because he was going for a very dark color. If he kept the stems it would have made the soup a lighter green.

[Zaknefain69]

Yeah you would, wouldn't you.

[naytarpy]

wow thats got to be healthy and low fat! Going to give that one a go!

[Mizmo24]

I think hes a genius and a great chef. makes it very simple for us to understand and gives reasons why he does things one way. Thanks for posting

[MQnoob]

Dipping the knife in the boiling water....

GENIUS!

[hibryd15]

easy as u see ....but i think that it's to begin with a good menu for a fresh restaurant

[Paiste402]

the colour is amazing on that soup. Just water and broccoli... seems almost mad! Great dish tho

[markandPaula]

Gordon, makes these dishes seem so yummy and easy to prepare. Plus, in all of his videos he explains, what to use, why and what it does for the food.

Gordon it an amazing chef and an amazing instructor...thank you for that.

[nmac121]

great for vegetarians as well....bless em. lol gordon is a genius, simplistic and straightforward

[BrandiBroke2195]

yeah that was cute

[superA2T]

seriously, this is THE best soup ever.

[BrandiBroke2195]

really....i love broccoli but i thought this looks gross...i'll have to give it a go!

[InnuendoXP]

@BrandiBoke2195

some of the vibrancy of the colour and clarity of the sheen is lost through film and youtube compression.. when you see it infront of you, it looks a hell of a lot nicer than the typical baby-poop coloured broccoli soups you get with cream, garlic, butter and whatnot in them

[MyTwinsTheCute1]

I had company for a BBQ this weekend and made this for the first time as a fast appetizer. Used feta crumbles (cheap goat cheese easily found in all stores) and it was as beautiful as it was easy and delicious. The soup was a huge hit and very simple to make and delicious.

[tehzeebs82]

yes true :)

[Nadine91273]

I just made this for my family. I didn't have any goats cheese so I used a sharp cheddar. We ate it with some good crusty bread. As Gordan would say, Fucking Delicious.

[o7PunkDog7o]

Haha! I'm a professional chef in training and my chef assigned me with brocolli soup. It was tasteless! I should have seen this video first!

[wayne62682]

I remember an episode of Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares ("Clubway 41") where Ramsay makes this to show the "chef" that brocolli soup doesn't need a bunch of ingredients (could that be what he's referring to?) and he says something like "My dish has water, and brocolli, and brocolli, and brocolli, and brocolli" to reiterate the fact.

[thedolphin111]

I tried making it with pre-made, cut and ready to eat broccoli and it came out looking like baby vomit, as Ramsay would say, and the smell gave me a headache

[ZelOcarina]

You need to use fresh broccoli!!

[Sexyav22]

i hate goats cheese..lol

[skatekoh]

doesnt look that good to me

[jjjazzycraig]

i made mine with velveeta cheese...YUMLICIOUS.

[WeeklyIntegrate]

i MADE THIS SOUP!!! AWESOME 5 MINUTES!!

and its soooo easy to tweak and make yur own

[RiseToNothing]

SMUOOOOOOOTH

[123TauruZ321]

He looks sunsburned ^^
