- Hey everybody, it's Bobby here
0:02
and I've got another great recipe for you today
0:04
that I think you're gonna like.
0:06
Soups can be intimidating,
0:07
but we're gonna make one together.
0:08
So if you don't make soup,
0:10
this is a good one to start with.
0:12
The flavors are great, it's healthy
0:15
and it's pretty simple to make.
0:17
We're gonna continue with our theme of,
0:19
not a theme, it's life,
0:21
grocery store's expensive
0:23
and it's really expensive to cook for your family
0:25
and I'm gonna help you save some money
0:27
and create dishes that you can serve today,
0:30
tonight and maybe tomorrow too,
0:32
and this is definitely one of those dishes.
0:34
This is gonna be a creamy squash soup.
0:36
So we've got butternut squash, we've got carrots,
0:41
onions, salt, chicken broth.
0:44
This is gonna be the beginning of our recipe
0:46
and there's not really much more to it than this.
0:50
I'm gonna start with the onion,
0:51
'cause that's always where you start to me.
0:55
And the onions are...
0:56
The thing about a recipe like this,
0:59
any kind of a pot,
1:00
if I'm making chili or if I'm making soup,
1:04
I always like to build that dish from the bottom up.
1:09
And it might sound...
1:11
I don't know how it sounds, but it's true,
1:13
the onions will begin to sweat
1:15
and they'll release some really good flavors
1:17
and they'll just work to season the whole dish
1:23
from the bottom. And I'll tell you what I mean,
1:25
instead of pouring in the chicken broth
1:27
and then just dumping in the squash,
1:29
dumping in the carrots, dumping in the onions
1:30
and then turning it on and cooking it,
1:35
it doesn't have quite the same effect
1:37
as sweating your onions, getting some nice flavor from them,
1:40
then putting in your carrots because they're really sturdy
1:42
and doing the same thing with your carrots
1:44
for just a minute.
1:45
And then we'll add the squash
1:46
and we'll get all those things sort of toasting together
1:50
and then we will add to that our chicken broth
1:53
and then let it all meld together.
1:56
So why don't we,
1:56
while we're waiting for our carrots to come up
1:59
and before we add...
2:00
Excuse me, while we're waiting for our onions to sweat
2:03
and get ready,
2:04
why don't we go ahead and take a break
2:05
and we'll come back in just a minute.
2:07
The onions are beginning to sweat
2:09
and they're giving me that nice onion
2:11
in the kitchen flavor there.
2:13
There's nothing like
2:14
the smell of onions cooking in the kitchen.
2:17
(spatula tapping) It's wonderful.
2:19
And the carrots are super sturdy,
2:22
take a little bit longer to cook,
2:23
so we'll add those next,
2:25
once the carrots have begun to release.
2:29
And we're gonna let this do the same thing,
2:32
so we're quickly gonna take another break
2:34
'cause I know you don't want to just sit here
2:35
and watch these carrots cook.
2:37
So let's take a break,
2:38
we'll give these about five minutes
2:39
and then we'll come right back.
2:41
The carrots and onions look and smell wonderful.
2:44
I'm gonna add to them just a little salt,
2:47
a little pinch of salt.
2:49
Stir that in. And then in with the butternut squash
2:54
and with our chicken broth.
2:55
And they sell chicken broth, everyone,
2:58
in big 32 ounce, like cardboard style containers.
3:05
And I keep a lot of chicken broth in my house,
3:07
bone broth, beef broth,
3:08
I keep all these broths in my house 'cause they're great.
3:11
When you're making your rice,
3:12
I use chicken stock to make rice.
3:16
I add it to all of my spaghetti's, my goulash's,
3:21
some beef bone broth.
3:23
Keep those things on hand
3:24
because they are such a wonderful flavor
3:28
and they just add so much.
3:32
So our squash is in, onions, carrots,
3:36
a little bit of salt.
3:37
And now I'm gonna add to that my chicken broth.
3:41
(chicken broth drizzling)
3:46
So wonderful.
3:48
Perfect soup for fall.
3:51
The butternut squash is plentiful,
3:52
I was just in the grocery store this morning
3:54
they had plenty of them.
3:55
I bought one, I just bought one this morning
3:57
and brought it into my house,
3:59
because I'm gonna make a butternut squash soup
4:02
at my house too.
4:03
Oh, I think that we were talking before,
4:06
you may be unsure whether or not your kids will like it,
4:10
just as...
4:14
I don't know.
4:15
It's anecdotal, but my six year olds love it,
4:19
they lap it up.
4:20
Butternut squash soup doesn't last in our house.
4:22
So if you got kids and you're like,
4:24
"Eh, I don't think my kids will like it",
4:26
they may very well.
4:28
Okay wonderful.
4:29
So I've just cooled this pot way down.
4:33
So now we gotta wait till it comes back up
4:35
and we're gonna cook the squash,
4:39
carrots, onions, salt together for about 40 minutes,
4:43
let it get soft
4:44
and then we're gonna get to our emulsifier
4:45
or your Vitamix or your food processor,
4:48
whatever it is that you have at home.
4:50
So we'll take one more break
4:51
and we'll come back when this is ready.
4:54
This butternut squash soup smells so great already.
4:58
And the combination of the onions and the carrots
5:02
and the chicken broth, when I brought it out in front of me
5:05
off here on the stove,
5:06
I was just like, "Golly, is that...",
5:07
Oh man, this smells wonderful.
5:10
Aunt Peggy, I don't know if you can smell it
5:12
from where you're sitting.
5:14
I think you can. It's great.
5:17
So we only have one thing left to do,
5:18
our squash is still of whole
5:20
and in sort of rustic chunks.
5:22
We're gonna emulsify it.
5:24
You could use a Vitamix
5:25
or you could use a food processor, whatever,
5:27
but I've got an emulsifier that I'm gonna use
5:30
with a couple of tablespoons of butter.
5:33
I'm gonna go ahead and begin to
5:37
cream our soup. (emulsifier whirring)
5:42
Oh gosh, I've just tasted it
5:43
and it is so wonderful already and it's not quite complete.
5:47
The good thing about an emulsifier is
5:49
you can leave it a little chunky if you'd like.
5:51
If you put it into a Vitamix or into a blender
5:53
you're gonna get it super creamy
5:55
and you've only got really sort of one way that you can go
5:59
and that's really creamy.
6:01
But if you wanna leave some chunks in there,
6:02
the emulsifier is really the way to go.
6:05
All right, now last but not least,
6:07
I've got some heavy cream
6:09
and I'm just gonna take a little bit of our
6:12
soup mix here and add to it so it doesn't curdle.
6:18
Stir it in so it's warmed up. (spoon clanging)
6:27
All righty. Now in goes our heavy cream.
6:36
One more shot with the emulsifier,
6:38
so why don't we take one last break
6:39
and we will serve it up. (emulsifier whirring)
6:42
So our butternut squash soup is complete
6:47
and it tastes so good.
6:49
I just gave it a little sip and it is wonderful.
6:54
And I'm so happy to have somebody here to share it with,
6:57
my Aunt Peggy.
6:59
- I'm right here. - Do you like
7:00
butternut squash? - We're moving in.
7:02
- [Bobby] Do you like butternut squash soup?
7:04
- [Peggy] I haven't tried it recently.
7:06
- Really? - Really.
7:07
- Peggy. Well I'm about to make you a very, very happy lady.
7:12
Now if you would like to,
7:16
you can add a dollop of sour cream to the top
7:19
of this at home.
7:22
Believe it or not,
7:23
we don't have any sour cream, we're out.
7:26
Mom has used all of hers.
7:28
So we're gonna have to go without sour cream,
7:30
but Aunt Peggy, trust me,
7:31
I just tasted it and it is oh, so wonderful.
7:34
You know what else would be good on there,
7:36
would be a nice homemade crouton
7:38
could be really good right on top
7:40
or something like that.
7:41
But we'll just finish it off with a little bit of
7:44
fresh black pepper
7:47
and (indistinct). - Yeah, I'd like (indistinct)
7:48
see that down at the restaurant one day.
7:50
- [Bobby] Mm-hm, for sure.
7:53
And right on top,
7:55
just for giggles. - Something different.
7:57
- [Bobby] Just for giggles,
7:59
a little greenery garnish.
8:02
Might not even need a spoon, Aunt Peggy,
8:05
you could drink that like a...
8:09
- Oh, that is hot. - A spoon for you.
8:14
So butternut squash soup.
8:18
The whole point is we wanna make dishes that are
8:22
not gonna break the bank.
8:24
We wanna be able to serve our families right now
8:26
and maybe tonight and maybe tomorrow.
8:29
And this recipe really fits the bill.
8:32
It's butternut squash soup,
8:33
it's butternut squash, carrots, onions,
8:36
a little bit of heavy cream, some chicken broth,
8:40
nothing that's going to overstretch your budget.
8:45
And I think you're really gonna enjoy it.
8:46
Tell me what you think, Aunt Peggy. Cheers.
8:53
- You like that? - Yeah, do you like it?
8:55
- It's (indistinct).
8:57
- It's great, right?
8:58
- Yes. - Bursting with flavor.
8:59
Somehow it manages to have lots and lots of flavor.
9:02
This is a great dish.
9:04
My children like it, my Aunt Peggy likes it
9:06
and I like it too.
9:07
So thanks for tuning in, we'll see you next time.
9:09
I'm just gonna drink mine.
