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

As soon as I see Frank, I know this mans boutta educate me on why the chicken is even named chicken

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

When frank didn't make his own spices and chicken : *my disappointment is immeasurable*

Level 1: I like to use the breast Level 2: I like to use the legs Level 3: I like to use two whole chicken and also add the farmer that raised them

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

My husband and I have made Frank's chicken soup a few times and it's so gosh darn delicious. We have to keep watching this video in order to get the recipe right since there's no standalone video of his chicken soup recipe, so I have finally succumbed to just scrubbing through the video several times just to watch Frank's segments and write everything down. So far, I've been doing this for about 45 minutes. -_-

Me: "am straight!" Gabrielle: "what is that? Who is she? She's saffron! "

they should add a forth level, it being someone who has no idea what they’re doing.

i feel like they should all try each others’ dishes.

Anyone else jealous of how CLEAR Gabrielle’s complexion is?

level 1: i’m a level 1 chef level 2: i’m a level 2 chef level 3: *i’ve been gods personal chef since the beginning of time*

John : “I buy the chicken in the supermarket” Gabrielle : “I buy the chicken from my local farmer” Frank : “I like to improve the flavour of the chicken by *being* a chicken”

Not gonna lie, when it comes to simplicity John's soup looks the best. Every culture has it's own version of chicken soup/noodle soup, and it's the simplicity that makes it the best.

I can't be the only one just wanting them to try each other's soup...

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

Level 100 Chef: “So now we’re just gonna get a plane ticket to Kazakhstan to mine some iron for the pan...”

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.

John sounds like a professional he’s really articulate when he speaks

Level 1: Imma add in some pasta Level 2: Imma add in some pasta Frank: lets make dumplings

ironically the level 3's recipe was probably the least expensive to make

Tried Frank’s recipe on a cold rainy day, absolutely amazing. So worth it 🤤

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

Chicken soup isn't truly Level 1 unless a can opener is involved somewhere.

Honestly all of these recipes are amazing in their own right

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

“Who is she?” “She’s saffron” I feel like I’m the only one who found that comment funny.

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!!

John: *uses chicken breast* Gabrielle: *uses legs* I bet Frank’s gonna use a whole chicken. Frank: I like to use whole chickens Well excuse me then, nevermind.

John is so normal. He picked up his hot soup and jumped because he forgot it was hot. We have all done this. John is a man of the people.

i saw the thumbail, the green chicken soup, and i immediately said "that's gotta be gabrielle." she's the only one who makes food, that isn't supposed to be green, green! 😭

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.

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

I’m disappointed in Frank. He was supposed to make his own pot

I love the Level 4 expert! It’s fun to hear about the break down of each dish

Been watching these comparisons for a while. But this one got me. I find all of them great. All three did great for me. Not judging. Just saying I loved all the methods. They all gave me a new learning perspective. I truly appreciate this video.

Two of these are chicken soup and one is boiled vegetables

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

Level 0: buys chicken soup from progresso

I'm not a big soup person, but as someone who likes those Middle/Eastern European vibes in food, Frank's looks absolutely phenomenal. I'd definitely have some of that.

Level 3 chef: "Fond." *Babish wants to know your location.*

There an inconsistency with how level one the level ones are

When John said "it tastes like mom's.." you know at that moment it is immune from hate.

can we just talk about how the level 1 soup looks soooooooo flavourlesss

You know damn well an amateur would just get a canned soup

These level 1 chefs are overqualified for level 1! This is why I miss Emily. She'd probably make a ketchup chicken soup, all from cans.

Frank skipped the part where he hatches the chicken from the egg, feed it, kill it, take it's feathers off and just went straight into how you cut it apart.

I love how Gabrielle's version looks

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.

Frank is the man. Always learn a lot when he's on

John is so positive hes the reason i started not removing my vegetables from my chicken soup he made it look good so i tried it and its good! Thx john

The level 1 chef is such a sweetheart

Let's be real. Frank's shoup looks so good

Chefs: I make this in the winter Mexicans: I make this on hot summer days all the time

I learned something from all three chefs/cooks! I love the turnips and parsnips. I also like the lemon and saffron. I always like Frank's recipes.

I'm shocked that Frank didn't start by raising his own chicken!!!

frank is the only level 3 chef that isn’t depressed.

I edited this comment so the replies -don't- *might* make sense.

John is starting to be level2

I really like all levels. All are made from fresh bone in chicken, spices, herbs, acidity, starch components, and fresh garnishes. Amazing.

“Let’s not use this for the final cut” *uses it in the final cut

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

Frank is the only soup that I would try. He knows the chemistry and physics of cooking and how to use that to get amazing flavors.

So interesting so see how other people make chicken soup! I usually keep to the quitesentials (for me chicken thighs, carrots, celery, salt & water of course, lots of parsley at the end and thin pasta or dumplings). Adding acidity/ souerness for me it's another category (in my country we call these ciorba, Turkish influence) but I will try some of the other things seen here :)

Level 1: Still explaining why he likes chicken breast. Level 3: Already finished the stock.

Level 1: “I get my chicken soup from a can” Level 2: “I make a pretty good chicken soup” Level 3: “I personally care for and sit on eggs until they hatch. I then raise the newly hatched baby chicks so they become strong and powerful chickens. Once they have reached their greatest strength, I know they will be delicious. That is when I kill them and chop them up so I can make my chicken soup”

I reckon I'm at 0.5 level. Because lazy. I just take everything and dump it in the electric slow cooker. Usually an entire chicken chopped up (wash out the blood and clean out the rib cage if you want a cleaner soup), an equivalent weight or more in vegetables, and 2 chicken stock cubes with 2L+ of water. Stews for at least 4h. Salt, soy sauce and sesame oil to taste at the end. Counts as food prep and one pot is my dinner for 4 days. I'm Asian, so a bowl or two of white rice and sliced small red chilli (the very spicy kind) in thick dark soy sauce (the kind meant for chicken rice).

Posting this for myself and for anyone else who wants Frank's soup recipe. 1. 0:59 2. 1:46 3. 2:08 4. 2:35 5. 3:12 6. 3:28 7. 3:46 8. 4:32 9. 5:15 10. 5:38 11. 6:33 12. 7:39 13. 8:45 14. 9:04

Replace the food scientist with all the chefs trying and each other’s food

Level 3 chef: *STARTS HEATING UP STEEL TO CREATE A POT*

All three of these recipes look awesome. John is adorable.

What a terrific video! Thanks!! All soups look delicious!

Emily: We're gonna do something the french call 'pinsage'. That means lightly browning our ketchup.

When you're Mexican & your mom makes chicken soup even in 100° weather .

The one Frank made mostly resembles the one my mom makes 🥰 She always uses a whole chicken, sometimes even two smaller ones. We have our own chickens, they have a good quality life, being spoiled rotten. Getting loads of treats and freedom to wobble around our yard. We even have a rooster with the ladies and they have fun, but non of the hens actually goes and sit on the eggs to breed them.. Sometimes we get a batch that we dont eat and breed out those eggs. The little chicks are the cutest thing ever. Unfortunately for the hens at some point they get to old to lay eggs and thats about the point they will be taken away. I could never do that my self, but my dad was taught by his dad who used to have a small chicken farm. (This was way back in the 70s or 80s I think, when everything wasnt massproduced but everything was very locally based and the animals had way better quality of life.) Anyway, those are the chickens we use for the soup and the recipe is almost the same as what Frank does in this video. The only difference i saw so far was the use of dumplings, which isnt really common in the Netherlands. We mostly use vermicelli, which is basically spaghetti, but thinner and shorter strands. I love to have loads of it in most of my soups 🤤 But.. honestly the dumplings are looking very appetizing as well, so I am certainly going to give that a try! 😁

When I saw that Frank was using a whole chicken, I immediately knew that he was making a fond for his base. The flavor is next level when browning the bones and scraping the bits making it waaaay better than broth.

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

As a straight man, Frank's eyes are so blue they're mesmerizing. Whoever did the lighting knows how to bring the color of his eyes out.

Home cooks are my favourite tbh, they really know how to make the best comfort food

Start of the video: Level 2 and 3 chef starts cooking Middle of the video: John still waffling about how good chicken breasts are

what is that who is she she’s saffron

Level one didn't use boxed broth, he's overqualified for 1.

I cannot wait to incorporate these level 3 tips for a higher level chicken soup!

This is why I like Frank the best. 1. He has to know people don't like gourmet food and prefer traditional food 2. He is the most practical out of all the lvl 3 chefs 3. Compare his segments to others his are almost always like a how to instead of "yeah this what I'm making" he is very good at educating when it comes to cooking.

Why is no one talking about Frank's blue eyes They are to die for

She's no Lorenzo, but this is a solid lineup for sure. I love these people too.

My grandma made caldo de pollo (chicken soup), and it made me cry - it was so good. I have zero idea how to make it though. My mom didn’t really watch her make it. Sigh.

This is probably the only thing Frank has made here that actually feels doable for a home cook

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

Level 1 chef : "i buy my chicken soup" Level 2 chef: "i make my Chicken soup" Level 3 chef: "i am the chicken soup"

Each of these has its place. I can easily see myself making each one.

The woman who uses the drumsticks has my Italian mother in laws recipe. I was skeptic, but it is the best chicken soup I've ever had. She's the winner in my opinion. 👍👍👍

Okay. Frank won this one hands down. He had me when he browned his meat first.

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).

These videos are great and I have become addicted to them. Just a reminder though, Saffron is not something to be used directly in the food. In fact, it needs to be grounded and mixed with (often) hot water to get the color and aroma out of it.

All three look good, thanks for the video. Happy New Year!

Level 4 chef: so let's buy this land here so we can start a farm to get the chicken and vegetables

Frank: *Shows up in a video* Me: "It's about to go down."

10:14 At the end of the day, the most important thing is that you are happy of what you made. You can always improve.

oh my god this is such an amazing educational video! better explanation than in my professional cooking class
