- Come on in the kitchen, y'all.
0:03
I got Bobby in here with me, I got Eddie, got Theresa,
0:07

0:09
Lou Lou is here isn't she, Eddie?
0:12
Where's Lou Lou?
0:13
Is Lou Lou here, I ain't heard from her.
0:15
Oh, there she is.
0:18
There she is. (woman laughing)
0:21
Say I hear you talking about me.
0:23
- [Eddie] Blending in with the sofa.
0:25
- So Bobby,
0:30
for a little while we gonna be showing y'all some lighter,
0:33
quick dishes and so I'm following Bobby's lead
0:38
and we're cooking out of his
0:42
cook book that was on the New York times bestseller list.
0:46
Bobby Deen's Everyday Eats.
0:49
- Gotta correct ya, this one is not on the New York Times
0:51
best seller list, the one before that.
0:54
- Forget about it then, I don't wanna cook outta that one.
0:57
- Well. (man laughing)
0:58
I got bad news for ya.
1:00
I'm cooking out of that one.
1:01
It's still great, everything's 350 calories or less,
1:04
they're simple recipes.
1:06
And today I wanna do with you a corn chowder.
1:09
- Okay, that sounds delicious.
1:11
- I really like soups and things of that nature
1:15
and this is a good one and the ingredients are all simple-
1:17
- Well let's work and talk.
1:19
I'm ready to work.
1:21
- There are things that you can find in your
1:23
local grocery store with no problem.
1:24
So, let's get started - Okay.
1:26
- On the stove top here, I've got a little oil heating.
1:30
All right, in a big,
1:33
- When he says a little oil, y'all,
1:34
he's talking about a teaspoon full.
1:36
- Two tablespoons of oil.
1:38
And to that, I'm going to add an onion.
1:42
Just a diced white onion.
1:43
- Okay, bell pepper. - A green bell pepper.
1:48
- A red bell pepper. - A red bell pepper.
1:51
- And what else do you want?
1:52
- And I think we're gonna just start with that
1:54
for right now, mama. - Okay.
1:56
- And we'll cook those for just a minute
1:58
until they're kinda soft. - And you've got some
1:59
niblet potatoes.
2:00
I love niblets.
2:04
Do you ever buy 'em?
2:06
- I do but these were whole potatoes
2:08
and I just cut 'em into kind of a rustic.
2:10
- Yeah but they were the niblets, right?
2:11
- Yes, right, the little ones.
2:12
Yeah, they're tender and delicious
2:14
and they cook pretty quick. - I love them.
2:16
You know how, to me, they're so good?
2:21
Eddie was doing something one day in the kitchen,
2:23
oh, I think it was at Shop HQ,
2:27
and you, I don't know.
2:30
- [Eddie] I put 'em in the air fryer.
2:32
- You put 'em in the air fryer.
2:34
And they were wonderful.
2:36
When you bit into 'em, and course we didn't peal 'em
2:38
or cut 'em or anything, just,
2:42
but when you ate 'em, they popped in your mouth.
2:44
I said, this is the best potato ever eaten.
2:47
- You know what I like, is a salt and vinegar potato.
2:50
- I do too, I know this, I hadn't met a potato I don't like.
2:53
- I like 'em all - Me too.
2:54
- To myself. - Sweet potato, white potato.
2:57
Purple potato. - I like 'em all.
2:59
So we're just gonna cook these veggies
3:00
for just a few minutes, you know, until they get kinda
3:03
fragrant and a little bit, maybe translucent.
3:07
Not too long. - Yeah.
3:09
What you got your heat on?
3:10
- I got it rocking and rolling.
3:12
- All right, I like the rock and roll.
3:13
- It was on low but I got it high,
3:15
I got it on high now. - So, say we are.
3:19
- There's a couple of parts to it.
3:20
- We're making a corn.
3:22
- It's a corn chowder.
3:24
It's a south, southwest corn chowder.
3:27
And the southwest comes in with the
3:29
the green and the red bell pepper and the scallion.
3:32
It does look delicious and
3:34
it's a really simple recipe, which are my favorite kind.
3:38
- All right, it says, seasonal, fresh corn
3:40
makes this soup thick and satisfying
3:42
but it's good to know that I can make it all year 'round
3:45
using frozen corn as well.
3:48
And that's what you're doing today.
3:49
- That's right. (oil sizzling)
3:52
- If you got some cooked chicken in the fridge,
3:54
go ahead and throw that in too at the end
3:57
to make a complete dinner.
3:59
Because I was just standing up here thinking,
4:02
that some chicken would be wonderful.
4:04
- It would be great, it's a vegetarian dish,
4:06
but if you wanted to add some
4:09
some chicken to it, it would be great.
4:12
- So, it stays in a large pot or Dutch oven,
4:14
heat them all over medium heat,
4:16
add the onions, the bell pepper, coarsely chop
4:19
the white and light green parts of the scallions.
4:23
- Yep, and add that too. - And add that to the pot.
4:25
- So, let's do that. - Okay.
4:27
- And add in the scallions and if you wanna
4:28
reserve a little bit for topping, you can,
4:32
as sort of a garnish.
4:32
- Or we can just have a couple extra leftover
4:35
that we can chop at the end, right?
4:36
- Yup. That's right.
4:39
- So, cook until the vegetables has softened,
4:41
about five minutes. - Yeah.
4:44
And we're not far from that right now.
4:46
- And then add the potatoes and half for the corn.
4:49
- Right, it's two cups of corn.
4:52
And we're gonna add one straight to the pot
4:54
and the second cup of corn, we're gonna put in the blender
4:58
with some milk. - Yes,
4:59
and that'll thicken this right up.
5:01
- That's exactly right.
5:02
- So, add the potatoes, half of the corn,
5:05
two cups of water and the salt,
5:07
black pepper, and cayenne.
5:10
And you're gonna bring this to a boil, cover the pot
5:13
and reduce the heat to low
5:15
and simmer until the potatoes are tender.
5:18
And that will take 10 to 15 minutes.
5:21
So, this is
5:24
very simple, there's a good chance that somebody has
5:27
all of these ingredients.
5:29
- Probably you do.
5:30
- Maybe not the niblet potatoes but.
5:32
So meanwhile, in a blender,
5:34
combine the remaining corn and milk
5:37
and blend it until smooth and then you stir that
5:40
corn-milk puree into the soup and cook until heated
5:44
through about five minutes.
5:47
- Yeah, you know, I liked the two books that I put out
5:51
solo. - Yeah.
5:54
- Because the recipes are just, real honest recipes,
5:57
you know?
5:58
- Well, you know, that's funny that you say that because
6:01
I know when I started out years ago,
6:05
doing cooking shows, I would refer to my food is honest.
6:09
- Yeah. Right.
6:11
Just honest food. - It's just a real thing.
6:13
- Things that women had been serving and cooking
6:17
up and serving their family all over the country,
6:20
you know. - For years and years.
6:22
- Yeah, it wasn't foo foo, you know, fancy dinner.
6:27
- Want real ingredients, real food,
6:31
things that, you know, things that
6:34
everyday people shop for in the everyday grocery stores,
6:37
every day, just like we did.
6:38
- You know, I'd say, Bobby, mama's cooking
6:42
will never go out of style. - Not never.
6:45
- It will never.
6:47
All right, so I'm gonna salt this, son.
6:49
- Go ahead.
6:50
- It said to salt it. - Yep.
6:53
- And a little pepper. - Yep.
6:57
And then to it, I'm gonna add a couple cups of water
6:59
and then we'll put it into the potatoes
7:01
and bring to a boil. - Okay.
7:03
- So, that's everything.
7:04
Eddie, I don't know if you wanna come get a shot of it, Ed,
7:07
but this is such a nice looking pot.
7:08
I mean, it's just. - Beautiful.
7:10
- I love these colors.
7:11
You know, we talked about this before.
7:13
Anytime that you're eating colors,
7:16
(crosstalk)
7:17
- [Paula] I'm looking on the camera.
7:19
And that's beautiful!
7:22
- [Bobby] Anytime you're eating this kind of color,
7:24
you know that you're getting a lot of good vitamins
7:27
and nutrients and all that good stuff.
7:29
So, to that, we'll add two cups of water.
7:33
And we're gonna put our potatoes in and our potatoes are,
7:37
I just cut 'em into, you know, just uniform chunks,
7:41
you know, they just look nice, kind of a,
7:43
kind of a nice rustic cut. (light tapping)
7:47
So in they go.
7:49
And then we'll turn it up and bring this
7:50
to a little bit of a boil.
7:52
- [Paula] You got some up on the side right there, son,
7:54
you might want to scoot down into your.
7:56
- I got it, I got it.
7:58
- No, it's right over there. - Okay, I'll get it,
8:00
I'll get it, I'm coming. - [Paula] Speaking of I got it
8:01
I got it. (both laughing)
8:04
One of his little girls, Olivia,
8:06
you'll do something and she'll say,
8:08
"I got it! I got it!" - [Bobby] Yeah, she will.
8:10
- [Paula] "I got it!" (woman chuckles)
8:12
So, tell everyone how your children are.
8:15
- [Bobby] My children are- - [Paula] They're growing!
8:17
- My children are doing great.
8:18
They are triplets, there's
8:22
two girls and a boy and they're a little over
8:25
two years old now.
8:26
And they're running around like wild animals.
8:30
- Excuse me, one second, it said go ahead
8:32
and add the cayenne too. - Yep, do it.
8:34
And that cayenne is gonna give it a,
8:35
there's your little bit of your southwest right there.
8:37
- [Paula] Is that enough or? - [Bobby] You know, cayenne,
8:40
I think you could always revisit if it weren't enough.
8:43
You taught me early on, you can always add
8:45
but you can't take away.
8:47
Especially with things like cayenne.
8:48
- [Paula] You can't bring them,
8:51
some pepper out of there. - No you cannot.
8:53
So, but the kids are doing good and yeah,
8:56
they're talking and walking and running.
8:58
- So, what's the funniest thing that they've,
9:01
that you've seen them do?
9:03
- Everything they do is pretty funny.
9:05
- I know it.
9:05
- You know, but
9:08
the thing that makes me
9:11
really happy is that they're so happy.
9:14
Our kids are so happy. - They are,
9:15
they're happy babies.
9:17
And you know what else?
9:19
My little Davis Deen,
9:21
the youngest. - You had a baby?
9:23
- Yes!
9:24
- Golly. - You didn't know it?
9:27
No, Jamie and Brooke's baby, Davis Deen,
9:31
he's, what is he, eight months old, Eddie?
9:33
Or nine months old?
9:34
He is one happy baby.
9:38
Is so happy too.
9:39
- Very happy. Every time I see him,
9:40
he's got a big smile on his face.
9:41
- That big smile on his face.
9:43
- Yeah, Olivia,
9:45
back to me and my children.
9:47
- Yes. (man laughing)
9:50
- Olivia, the funny, I get a big kick out of it because
9:53
you know, they repeat at this age,
9:55
they say whatever you- - I'm realizing
9:57
I got to being very careful. (woman chuckles)
10:01
- Yeah you do. Yeah, gotta be careful.
10:04
So, but anyhow, at night whenever we're putting them to bed,
10:08
Claudia and I always go in there with 'em and we,
10:10
you know, we say our prayers and we talk to the kids
10:13
and we, you know, all that stuff and
10:16
Olivia, when I say, "All right, Olivia."
10:20
'Cause the thing that I say to all three of 'em
10:22
separately is, you know,
10:24
"Have a goodnight's sleeps, God bless you, have sweet dreams
10:27
and when you wake up in the morning,
10:29
mommy and daddy will be right here, okay?"
10:31
And Olivia always says, "Okay!"
10:34
(all laughing)
10:37
I get a big, big kick out of that.
10:39
And I call her kitty cat and
10:41
she calls herself kitty cat
10:43
and she just meows like crazy.
10:45
- Yeah, when I come in, I'll pick her and I'll hug her
10:48
and set her back down and she'll look up at me and say,
10:51
(both meowing)
10:53
- And then Amelia,
10:57
when we pray at night, Amelia will sit and get down
11:00
and she'll do like this
11:03
and it's just real sweet.
11:05
It's just real sweet.
11:06
Just real sweet. - Bobby.
11:07
- Yeah, they're great.
11:08
All right, so.
11:10
- Just take lots of pictures. Take lots of videos.
11:13
- Oh, believe me, I do.
11:14
- [Paula] 'Cause when I was raising y'all,
11:16
we didn't have a camera just sitting around the house.
11:20
We had to go buy a disposable camera.
11:22
- [Bobby] So, that looks nice and nice.
11:25
Okay, so that's boiling. - Yeah, you wanna cover that.
11:28
- We'll reduced that down to a little simmer.
11:31
And let it roll for a few minutes.
11:33
And let's move over here to our blender, okay?
11:36
This book was just laying up here on the counter.
11:39
(crosstalk)
11:41
- I was reading your recipe. - That's what people do.
11:44
They just read.
11:45
Especially when you have a good book like that.
11:47
(woman laughing)
11:49
It's just not uncommon to find it just laying around
11:51
on people's kitchens. - Okay, Bobby.
11:53
- Real good book.
11:54
And I don't see any other books in this kitchen.
11:56
- Oh, mine are all over there.
11:58
- Dad-gummit! (all laughing)
12:01
All right, so,
12:03
to the blender, we will add, where'd our corn go?
12:05
- Right here. - Okay.
12:06
So, the recipe calls for two cups of corn,
12:08
we put one cup into the pot on the stove
12:13
and the over cup we're gonna put into the blender here.
12:15
- And the cheese as well? - No, no, no, no, no, no.
12:18
The milk.
12:19
- Okay. - Yeah. No.
12:21
Blending no cheese.
12:23
Asking me trick questions, Paula Deen.
12:25
(woman laughing)
12:26
Trying to trick me and make me look stupid.
12:27
- I was just seeing, now that's Clorox water right there,
12:30
so don't forget. - I'm staying away from it.
12:32
- Okay. - All right.
12:33
So, blend it, blend it.
12:36
Make sure your lid is on good.
12:37
- Is it? - Yep.
12:39
- Now it is, right? - I got it.
12:41
- You got it! - I got it.
12:43
- I got it! - I got it.
12:44
(woman laughing) We got it.
12:47
- I wonder where she gets that from?
12:49
I got it. - Who knows?
12:50
(blender whirring)
12:53
From her dad. (blender revving)
12:54
- I would say that is pureed. - I think
12:57
that it's good to go.
12:58
(light thud) Let's take a look.
13:02
Oh yeah, beautiful.
13:04
No evidence of corn. - Looks like real
13:05
cream, cream, cream corn.
13:07
- Smells good too.
13:08
So, to our pot and look how pretty,
13:10
golly, that's great looking.
13:12
- [Paula] Oh my goodness.
13:13
- [Bobby] We'll just add right to it
13:15
our milk and corn combo.
13:18
(food sizzling)
13:20
And we'll stir that in and maybe we'll give it
13:22
a little 'nother dash of salt and pepper.
13:24
- [Paula] Yeah. Oh, that looks so good.
13:28
Now, you know what I'd add to it at this moment?
13:31
In a minute? - [Bobby] Tell me.
13:32
- [Paula] You tell me, what would your mother add to it?
13:36
- [Bobby] Butter, probably. - [Paula] Yes!
13:38
(both laughing)
13:39
You guessed it!
13:40
- [Bobby] Well you can if you want to.
13:42
I mean, mi casa, su casa.
13:46
But actually, this is,
13:47
mi casa, su casa, mi casa.
13:49
- [Paula] I ain't got no hot casa.
13:51
(both laughing)
13:53
- [Bobby] Whoa, you almost lost your butter too, pearl.
13:55
- [Paula] I dern sho did.
13:58
- Okay, so that just looks nice and nice.
14:02
And I'm using a wooden spoon and trying not to,
14:06
you know, just mush my vegetables up.
14:07
I just wanna kinds stir 'em around in there.
14:10
And I don't wanna beat up the potatoes either.
14:13
That just looks just great.
14:15
So, why don't we cover that again
14:17
and let it simmer for just a few minutes.
14:19
- Yeah. Yeah, those potatoes are gonna need about
14:21
10 or 15 minutes, oh, excuse me.
14:24
- It's all right.
14:24
- I stepped right in your way, yes.
14:25
- Let's just let it simmer for a few minutes.
14:27
And I think that that will be great.
14:30
In the meantime, you can get these dishes did!
14:31
- I'll put a little bit more.
14:34
(woman chuckling)
14:34
- It'll be just enough time for you to do them dishes.
14:36
- Yes, it will be.
14:37
- Really, really hot, mama, so be careful.
14:40
Golly, this looks and smells so good.
14:43
You ready (indistinct).
14:45
Y'all ready? - Open it away from me
14:46
- Y'all ready? - I don't need a steam bath.
14:49
- Y'all ready?
14:51
(man exclaiming)
14:53
- Great time of day, that'd made my makeup come right off.
14:56
- Southwest corn chowder.
15:00
Looking really, really good.
15:03
- [Paula] Wow.
15:04
- [Bobby] Dip me up some of that.
15:06
- [Paula] How much would you like?
15:07
- [Bobby] All of it. (woman chuckles)
15:10
- [Paula] Do you like a lot of, you want some cheese?
15:13
- [Bobby] A little cheese right on top, please.
15:14
- [Paula] Okay, well me how much.
15:16
- That's perfect.
15:17
And then garnish right on top.
15:19
Now look at that.
15:22
This corn chowder
15:25
is really simple,
15:26
until my mother added the butter to it,
15:30
under 350 calories, but the butter's fine.
15:32
And if you wanted to use heavy cream rather than milk,
15:34
you can do that too.
15:36
'Cause we talk about this all the time.
15:37
- I would probably use half and half.
15:40
If I was making it. - Whatever you want.
15:41
My recipe is under 350 calories
15:43
and it's excellent the way that it is.
15:45
If you wanna doctor it and make it a little bit differently,
15:47
you can, feel free.
15:50
I predict greatness.
