4 Levels of Chicken Soup: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious

For this episode of '4 Levels,' we challenged chefs of three different levels - an amateur, a home cook and a professional - to make their versions of chicken soup. Once each of them had completed their culinary creation, we brought in a food scientist to review their work. Whose version of the classic sick-day remedy looks the most appetizing to you?

4 Levels of Chicken Soup: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious

Frank is one of my favourite chefs because he puts his heart in the dish and he's very down to earth when explaining things such as in the previous videos of 50 people try and the last video of answering questions about spaghetti and meatballs.

I appreciate Frank more after watching the spaghetti and meat balls video.

[WonnieWon]

The level 1 chef is confident with his own recipe makes me so proud 😢

[TameemAlkadi]

Frank’s soup: the most professional
Johns soup: the easiest
Gabrielles soup: the most expensive (saffron)

[pablonieto]

Level 1 chef: I prefer white meat
Level 2 chef: I prefer dark meat
Level 3 chef: ChIcKeN iS cHiCkEn

My favourite combo is Emily, lozenzo and frank. All time ogs

[goodoladam]

I love these videos. Even though they are showing differing levels of experience and expertise, they're never mean-spirited. I never feel as though the beginners are ever treated with disrespect. I don't know. It's encouraging.

Beginners Soup: My soup takes 1-2 hours to make

Home Cooks Soup: My soup takes 3-4 hours

Frank: Best I can do is 5 years take it or leave it

[naruhina]

is this the first time that the professional chef's method is not totally insane and actually doable at home?

[llantup]

I want to see the three chefs taste each others' dishes.

[zamikhan]

"What is that?"
"Who is she?"
"𝗦𝗵𝗲'𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻"

[laylam]

my favourite chef combos
emily + lorenzo + frank = some bomb dinner foods
steven + beth + penny = for amazing breakfast + desert dishes
bianca + Gabriella + yuji = the best asian food!!

[jakehorowitz]

The reason that I appreciate Frank is that, unlike most other level threes, he actually makes the dish. (If you dont know what im talking about, watch the ice cream sundae episode).

[taram]

Why is no one talking about John? He is so genuine, always smiling, really the cutest

[stevenrobbins]

"Can we not use that for the final cut?" They used it for the final cut.

My Soup recipe when I sick. Immune Booster Soup:

Ingredients:
Chicken, 1 Breast + 1 Leg
Little White Pepper
Little Black Pepper
Lots of Garlic
Little Sugar
Salt ( as needed )

Method:
1 - Mix all this together in 1 litre of water. Add salt less than needed, will adjust later.
2 - When it comes to boil, make heat on very low, place lid on top of it, let it simmer for 1 hour.
3 - After one hour, half of water will be gone. Adjust salt level in remaining soup.

Enjoy it hot, will bring out bad stuff from chest and nose, even if you are not sick.

Frank: first I’ll start by taking a fertilized egg and incubating it for around 21 days until the chick hatches

[zomgseriosuly]

Professional chef: for this soup I gave birth to the chicken

Level two: We’re gonna get a little fancy here

Level three: *This Chicken noodle soup recipe has been in my family since the first crusade and I guard it with my life*
