This was so much fun to make! Thanks beryl for showcasing my dish 😁😁

[VeraVermeire]

As a Dutch person, Hens just seems like that typical cool uncle that you always wanted to go to as a kid because he let you do all kinds of stuff that your parents wouldn't allow😅

“Before there were anti-depressants there was soup”. I read that a while ago and it’s stayed with me. Soup is one of the most comforting and delicious things you can eat. With so many variations from so many different cultures, the possibilities are endless! Thanks PBS and Beryl for another wonderful episode. Sending you and everyone lots of YUM. ❤

I love the goodwill in this show. The whole ethos of sharing food and the backstory is really endearing. It's just so wholesome

[rubysoffner]

From a Dutch person, nothing gets you through freezing dark winter days than a big bowl of snert with dark rye bread. And being Indo, I always add a big dollop of sambal

[geralynivettepereznegron]

I’m so happy for featuring the Sancocho. I’m puertorrican 🇵🇷 and this is my fave soup with white rice as is shown. Thanks for this episode.

[sauersaxon]

Hens is the most Dutch person I've ever seen

[JackelineFilionPino]

This made me so happy and proud! I am Bronx born Dominican and sancocho is my favorite meal. It brings many people together. My husband makes fun of me, he says at any sign of rain, I make sancocho 😂

[TheMughes]

I just love the people in this series, Hans looks like such an interesting guy!

[BethAge]

Ah, pea soup, unites my home country of Germany, with the country I chose as a home, Finland, with one of my favourite countries - the Netherlands! All countries make them slightly different but the creamy peas stay the same. Since winter is approaching fast in Finland, I already stocked up on dried peas and will make my first batch of the season soon!

I would watch multiple episodes on SOUP! One of the most respected chefs I follow is Jacque Pepin. His love of soup is contagious but it also comes from my dear mother and my time spent in restaurants when I was young. It’s comforting year round. ❤

[FishareFriendsNotFood]

I love soup because it KEEPS, and is really easy to choose different portion sizes per meal, two factors that are very useful for people living alone

[luchewigg]

This video was so so sweet I can’t wait to see more clips of pan pals!

[dinahselah]

Yes Snert or Erwtensoep...from my country The Netherlands. The most Dutch soup ever 😊

[randomaccount]

"If you stick a spoon in it it shouldn't sink" is also a measure of a proper borsch 😂
Never had the Dutch version, but I do love the pea soup here across the border in Belgium. I imagine it's not too different.

[consuelaprade]

I am not really a soup person, but these 2 ...YUMMMM. My mom cooks both regularly (mixed race living in Suriname) and I always go for seconds. Great episode!

[n.q]

I am raised with snert / erwtensoep. It really is my go to dish on a cold day. It's one of my favorite dishes! I am really glad that Dutch cuisine is getting its well deserved place in the spotlight. It's really delicious if done right.

[IgorEngelen]

making soup is like therapy. nothing can beat preparing and cooking a soup in my slow cooker.

[FreedomJane-bxum]

Beryl's a star now! We always knew she shined. 🌟
