      @@damason724 , I guess you've never tried it. The flavor complexities make it more enjoyable for me as a bitter herb than the minute flavor you get from the whole leaf. A little goes a long way, especially in a brine. If you enjoy good IPA beer or new and different flavors give it a try and then let me know how bad it is.

    Ok, I love bon appetit and Brad, but this was amazing.
    I'm Italian, actually born and raised in Verona, North Italy , also I'm a chef, young chef.
    I liked this 'cause this dish is one of the fews that all of us (in Italy) have is common, from North to the south.
    What Carla did is really accurate, from using the chesses crusts, to the ham scrap, thrown in the soup, this is not only a cultural background but also a "cheffy" thing to do for us in Italy.
    Love you guys, and thank you for reading this long comment, if you wanna try something really amazing, try a simple "pasta e ceci" topped with some red prawns tartar.
    Thank you for the content and the inspiration, love you guys

      Growing up we always ate what we called pasta ceci (in american we said it pasta cheech). It was extremely simple, just tomato, chick pea, garlic, olive oil. Cooked for a while to soften the flavors then eaten with pasta.
      Can you please tell us what recipe you are referring to? I would love to try it. Thanks!

    If you don't want to put meat in the soup, put a couple tablespoons of soy sauce in the broth instead. I'm vegan and the lack of meat tends to make soups not just bland but also kind of sweet, so I always add soy sauce for the salty/savory flavor. You can also do this with risotto (soy sauce + nutritional yeast = parmesan), sauces, tofu, etc :-)

      I do this all the time, it works brilliantly! I also make French onion soup with mushroom broth and it's excellent. I buy powdered mushroom extract with added salt at the local Asian grocer which makes a great quick mushroom broth (bonus points if you use actual mushrooms, too). If you are a vegetarian or vegan, that stuff is a game-changer, even if you do not usually like mushrooms. It just tastes like beef stock.

    I adored this video; the last thing said was everything; just to remember the soup my mom made; which is indeed everything. My Dad lived in Rome for 10 yrs but was born in Serbia in 1908 and loved to cook. By contrast, my mom was a Berliner jew who escaped the holocaust by inches and they met and married in Toronto Canada and cooking was huge. What I learned is how universal some recipes are but yet so intensely personal. Pasoulj is Serbia's national dish; lamb shank sometimes instead of ham hock, lots of paprika and the sofrito would substitute bell peppers for carrots, as happens in Creole cooking in New Orleans. you can see where I'm going here. Its basis is the same as here but native ingredients take over and somehow it becomes something different. An absolutely brilliant video.

    I made this for dinner tonight, and it's so good, I actually shed a little tear. I didn't have the exact same ingredients (no leeks - used sweet onion; no hamhock - subbed 6 slices bacon; no parm rind - totally out) BUT... I followed the method exactly, and Oh My Goodness. It's worth it all the patience needed to do it right.
