Souper Soups for Supper

From easy to elegant, Jacques Pepin shares more than 125 recipes from his legendary career. With his usual ease and flair, Jacques cooks what he loves -- from classical Escoffier Quenelles to homey Braised Beef in Red Wine, and mouth-watering treats, including a Quick Almond Plum Cake and a perfect Chocolate Mousse. It's no wonder that Julia Child called Jacques "the best chef in America!"

Souper Soups for Supper

Season 1 Episode 20 | 25m 5s | CC

Jacques’ Tomato Chowder with Mollet Eggs is a simple soup that can be made in moments and embellished with a soft and creamy, lightly cooked egg. Then Jacques prepares Black Bean Soup with Bananas, a dish that pays tribute to his wife Gloria’s Puerto Rican heritage. Plus, two soups from his childhood: Garlic Soup and Onion Soup Lyonnaise-Style, followed by the classic French Consomme.
