this is zoe this is emma
0:03
aren't they precious they live in new
0:06
she works in a restaurant in the city
0:09
you do food styling yep so
0:13
i can't wait to see what these two girls
0:17
paula we can't wait to show you and
0:20
an unstuffed cabbage soup
0:23
am i gonna have any cat fights today
0:27
we both and i'm in the center aren't i
0:32
well you're tough this is based on a
0:34
recipe that our grandmother taught us
0:36
it was a stuffed cabbage but it was too
0:38
difficult to make all the time because
0:40
we had to actually stuff cabbage leaves
0:42
yeah which isn't a lot of work that dish
0:45
zoe actually adapted it into a soup so
0:48
it's much easier now it's just a soup
0:50
and it's a lot more fun
0:51
this sounds so interesting y'all so i
0:56
what our end result is i've turned on
1:00
i've put a little oil in it because the
1:02
first thing we're gonna do
1:03
is saute our onions and garlic so this
1:06
is about three garlic cloves we're gonna
1:08
mince them really finely okay we're
1:10
gonna throw it in the pot i'll do the
1:12
you want to start the carrots okay and
1:14
you want this garlic fairly fine yes
1:17
okay well it's strange that you girls
1:20
both wound up in the culinary world
1:23
i think it's strange also now who was
1:25
the first one to become
1:30
we both were not at the same time
1:34
so did y'all cook in the kitchen a lot
1:37
all the time my mother is the most
1:39
passionate person in our family
1:40
is she now we got our onions and our
1:43
garlic yeah so now we can just chuck in
1:45
our crushed tomatoes 128 ounce can of
1:49
next we're gonna add one and a half cups
1:51
of water and we can just reuse the can
1:53
and get the rest of the
1:54
crushed tomato out of it get all the
1:56
goodie out of that can
2:02
and then we put all of our carrots in
2:04
and cook it until they're soft
2:05
okay because we're going to blend the
2:06
whole thing to make a sauce and these
2:08
are nice and thin so they won't take
2:10
long fast so as you can see i'm mincing
2:13
the other half of this onion
2:14
really fine because it's going to go
2:16
into the meatballs that are going in
2:18
so we can go in with our tomato paste
2:19
and our ketchup now as well
2:21
and just get everything in the pot
2:23
because you want to put it all in up
2:25
this is going to be a real real tomatoey
2:28
fancy so this is a half a cup of ketchup
2:32
okay i'm going to add a cup of tomato
2:33
paste which is gonna make
2:36
this so rich and thick y'all it does
2:40
delicious girls i can't wait to taste
2:44
so now i'm gonna cut nice flat slices
2:48
and throw right into the cabbage soup
2:50
okay okay so this is a
2:51
half cup of brown sugar right there
2:56
a little salt and pepper girls sounds
2:59
okey-doke okay so i am coring the
3:03
i'm going to take the middle part out we
3:05
can save this and use it for coleslaw or
3:08
but what we really want is these nice
3:10
outside parts and then you just cut it
3:11
into nice thick ribbons because you
3:13
don't want them to be too
3:14
skinny how about if i help you please do
3:18
