- Hey everybody, I'm Bobby,
0:01
and I'm here filling in for my mom, Paula Deen,
0:04
while she recovers from a little eye surgery,
0:05
she's doing great.
0:08
But she's enjoying, I think, Jamie and me coming in,
0:11
filling in for her and taking some of the workload,
0:14
and I don't mind cause I've got a lot
0:15
of great recipes for you.
0:17
And today, we are, we're kind of getting into fall,
0:21
we're gonna make a really nice butternut squash soup,
0:24
its one of my favorite,
0:25
there are many versions of it.
0:26
My wife makes one that's just excellent.
0:32
And its a little different from this one,
0:34
but she does it in the blender at home,
0:37
and today I'm going to do something
0:38
just a little bit different.
0:40
So I've started with, I've got a pot on the stove here
0:42
that's got a little bit of olive oil,
0:46
I think it was maybe a half teaspoon of olive oil,
0:48
and then a tablespoon of butter,
0:50
and into that I've added some vedalia onion,
0:53
and that is just a great base for anything,
0:56
and it smells so, so good.
0:58
So, to that I'm going to add my butternut squash,
1:06
if you've not made butternut squash soup at home,
1:08
please do, you're going to love it,
1:10
you're family'll love it, we make it for our kids,
1:13
nobody, nobody turns this down, its so good.
1:18
Now I'm just kinda stir that in,
1:21
and we're going to add to that
1:24
something maybe unexpected to you, some apple.
1:28
Ooh, yeah.
1:30
Those are the flavors of fall right there.
1:33
Squash and apple together?
1:38
Then one more thing, stay there Ed,
1:40
I'm gonna add to that
1:46
five cups of low-sodium chicken broth,
1:56
and I'm gonna get my pot on about a medium heat here
2:01
and let that cook.
2:06
But, before I let it cook,
2:10
I'm gonna add one more unexpected ingredient.
2:13
This is tofu, its a great way,
2:17
especially if you're vegan or vegetarian,
2:20
I'm not necessarily, but I don't mind some tofu.
2:26
Its a great way to add some protein,
2:29
well I just added chicken stock,
2:31
so vegan, no that's out of the way,
2:34
but this is a great way to make a meatless soup, okay?
2:36
So you can get protein without having to add meat to it.
2:42
And I'm just going to break that up like so,
2:46
that tofu, just break it right up
2:47
into my squash, apple, chicken stock combination.
2:55
Did I miss anything?
2:55
Yeah I did.
2:56
I'm gonna add to that pot a little thyme,
3:01
a little bit of thyme, stir that in.
3:03
And I'm gonna bring this to a simmer,
3:07
and I'm gonna let it go for maybe about 20 minutes
3:12
until the squash gets good and soft.
3:16
And then we'll come back and we'll do the next step.
3:20
We are making a beautiful butternut squash soup,
3:23
this is from my book, from Momma's Table to Mine,
3:26
its called Secret Ingredient Butternut Squash Soup.
3:29
Secret ingredients here, one of them is very unexpected,
3:33
but its a great fall flavor,
3:35
and that is that we added some apple,
3:37
we also added some tofu for protein,
3:39
and we've got a really simple, delicious soup here,
3:41
what we've done so far is we cooked our onion
3:45
in a little bit of olive oil and butter,
3:48
and then to that we added the butternut squash
3:50
and we added the apple, and we added the tofu.
3:53
Also chicken stock obviously is the liquid in here.
3:57
You could do this in a Vitamix or in a blender,
3:59
or you could use a hand mixer,
4:00
I'm gonna use an emulsifier,
4:02
and lets just go ahead and mix up our soup.
4:06
(whirring)
4:23
- I did.
4:29
- Yours, tofu.
4:35
This is called Secret Ingredient Butternut Squash Soup,
4:38
there's two things that you wouldn't expect,
4:40
one is the apple, and the other is the tofu,
4:42
so whichever one you want to be the secret ingredient
4:44
you can call the secret ingredient.
4:51
- I've actually had fried tofu that I thought was good.
4:58
You need to come in and check something?
4:59
I'm real lucky I'm here while my mom is cooking.
5:01
Momma, what are you cookin?
5:03
- [Paula] I'm cookin Lace Hoecakes.
5:04
- Are ya?
5:05
- [Paula] Yes, to go with that soup.
5:06
- That needs to be flipped.
5:07
To go with this great soup.
5:08
Are you gonna come flip that?
5:09
- [Paula] No.
5:13
Oh Bobby better not touch my stove.
5:14
- Okay, we just gonna hope that it magically turns over?
5:18
- [Paula] Well its just cooking, its not ready yet.
5:21
- Mm mm, look at that lace cornbread.
5:28
- [Paula] Yes, look at that lace cornbread.
5:30
- (Bobby) There's not a lotta houses,
5:32
I don't think, where there's people
5:33
cookin lace cornbread right now.
5:36
I love it, lace hoecakes.
5:39
I love it, this is something I remember so well growing up.
5:44
Golly, Momma used to make that with turnip greens
5:46
and with country-fried steak and gravy,
5:47
and that's exactly what she's making right now.
5:50
(Paula laughs)
5:51
And I'm making butternut squash soup,
5:54
and I'm making tofu soup.
5:57
(whirring)
6:14
Its a handy dandy tool, the emulsifier.
6:30
- [Paula] (inaudible) was in there or whatever they are.
6:32
- Yeah, hey Groot.
6:35
How you doin?
6:36
Family's all here.
6:38
(laughs)
6:40
I'm making soup.
6:42
- [Paula] I'm making Hoecakes.
6:43
- Step on in and do whatever you need to do Mom.
6:46
We can make sure that its a real tight shot
6:49
of just your hands.
6:49
- [Paula] I'm not good enough yet for my friends.
6:52
- (Bobby) Wanna taste it?
6:54
- [Paula] I know its delicious.
6:56
Those little muffins are out of this world.
6:59
- (Bobby) So good.
7:01
I made this beautiful butternut squash soup,
7:04
I also made earlier some pumpkin and cornbread muffins,
7:14
and boy are they gonna go perfectly with this soup.
7:16
Come on in here Momma and do something about your cornbread.
7:19
- [Woman] I did it.
7:20
(laughs)
7:24
- [Paula] You little bugger.
7:25
- I want you to be in this so bad.
7:27
- [Paula] No.
7:28
- So the flavor is great.
7:29
Now, butternut squash is really, really firm.
7:32
Its more to the apple.
7:33
So we had to cook these at a really nice simmer
7:37
for about 20 or 25 minutes,
7:40
so that the fruit and the vegetable could soften up.
7:43
And I gave it some time after that,
7:45
and now we're emulsifying.
7:47
I got a little bit more blending to do,
7:48
so let me do this really quickly.
7:50
(grinding)
7:52
So our soup is perfect, it smells so good too.
7:58
I snuck a little taste and I thought it was just great.
8:04
Hey Michael.
8:06
(laughs)
8:09
- [Paula] He can't answer you, his mouth is full
8:11
of chocolate covered peanuts.
8:13
- Yeah I know cause mine was too just a minute ago.
8:17
They have these bowls of candies around this house
8:20
that are just, makes me angry.
8:24
Beautiful butternut squash soup,
8:26
little dollop of greek yogurt on top, a little parsley,
8:35
just looks great.
8:36
What do you think Mom?
8:37
- [Paula] It does.
8:38
It looks beautiful Bobby.
8:39
But I do hope that everybody will try those corn muffins.
8:43
- (Bobby) Yeah, you like them right?
8:44
- [Paula] The pumpkin corn muffins, they are delicious.
8:47
- (Bobby) Yeah, they really are.
8:49
- [Paula] They're kind of on the healthier,
8:51
the healthier side.
8:52
- (Bobby) Yeah they are, I mean, you know.
8:54
- [Paula] But they don't taste like it.
8:56
- Don't taste like it.
8:57
They don't taste like it.
8:58
I'm gonna dip one in to my soup.
8:59
- [Paula] Ooh, yes.
9:01
