Pro tip on the corn soup from an Iowan. After you cut off the corn kernels, scrape the corn cob with the back of your knife to get most of the pulp out. The majority of the sweet flavor and creamy consistency is in those remnants, especially if the corn is in season. You won't have to add nearly as much cream or sugar.
Pro-Tip on the tomato soup: instead of using a cup of water, pour the water into the can of the tomatoes that you were using. That way the water even adds more tomato flavour to the soup! Great vid as always man
My little brother is allergic to dairy products, so I used margarine instead of butter. But when I made it for him he said "It feels wrong to eat this because how creamy it is" Definitely a good recipe to try at home
@@banosisbest4976 i never even hinted at trying to brag about it or anything. My comment was the most to the point comment a comment can be and yet you still think im trying to flex or some shit?? What is wrong with you bunch??
Why not go into the world of Korean food? You've gotten into so much asian food from Chinese, Japanese, and Indian dishes before, why not try a crack at Korean dishes? I recommend a korean movie called Extreme Job, it's got an interesting recipe for fried chicken. As a Korean myself I'm super interested in seeing you try some dishes from my home country.
Steve Choi he might do it, unless a different movie suggestion just passes you, doubt it though I never tried korean food but from what I’ve seen it looks pretty good
@@jep9092 you do realize that some recipes arent up to date with spices and seasonings so you have to add your own, for taste? Instead of saying it's bland try different seasonings and be creative.
@@BasedBlackGirl_ very true what I recommended with added seasonings, herbs, spices, or if they like it add some chicken and chorizo qualified chefs like me and this guy and so on will make flavours which are a one off I've made many soups that anyone who tried liked without even thinking because I'm qualified it's sorta wired into my head haha did you know meat has to be 75 degrees Celsius before it's safe to eat ?
Fun fact; this channel made me figure out how to cope with depression. My life has never been happier, and my tummy has never been more thankful. Turns out that cooking while having a mental breakdown rlly brings family together like a charm lmao
alpha1beta1gamma nobody cares about your brilliant grammar skills. I get it, he made a grammar mistake, and if your intentions were to correct him so that he doesn’t make the mistake again, you did it in the rudest and most hateful way possible by patronizing him and pretending like you are a greater individual who has ascended beyond humanity. English probably wasn’t his or her first language, and that makes him and even smarter individual than you because he knows one more language than you. RU-vid is also an international platform, be grateful he even spoke in English. And finally, it is very easy to mix up the pronunciation of should’ve and should of. I’m done ranting now, and for those of who had read this far into my comment, thank you and have a nice day 👍.
The tomato soup reminds me a lot of salmorejo, which is like gazpacho except you blend tomatoes with olive oil and bread without cooking, and then eat cold topped with dices of serrano ham, olive oil and a bit of balsamic vinegar. This recipe brings so many great memories of Spain and makes me want to make comfort food right about now ^^ thank you so much for sharing it!
This got me on a blender soup kick this week. So far did roasted tomato, asparagus, and broccoli. I think I'm going to try a mix of a bunch of vegetables and see how it goes.
Babish the special thing about corn soup is the corn flavored water, try this and tell me what is better: Boil the corn ears in hot water and save dat water, sauté the onions for 15-20 mins with butter until blonde, cut the corn out of the corn ears and put in the onions, add some of the sweet corny water (and stock if you want), add little bit of acidity to balance and add salt to enhance the flavor, blend, add more salt and vinegar if needed.
I love watching basics - while I already think of myself as quite a good cook, it’s great to see different approaches...also it’s very relaxing listening to Babish explain it all!
Made the elote soup tonight for me and my parents. I loooove corn soup, and this was amazing. Definitely holding onto that recipe, and I can't wait to try your tomato soup too
A bit of roasted red pepper makes tomato soup so much better ^^ I usually use just one pepper per a big pot so that you can't tell its there but it enhances the flavor so much
Appreciate that you've tried to upload even the simplest of basics recipes whilst on the mend. Even the simplest are sublimely enjoyable on your channel.
When I first moved away from home I always made a carrot blender soup, which was basically just a few carrots, an onion, some garlic cloves, vegetable stock, creme fraiche and a dash of sweet chili sauce mixed together. It was great, but I ended up making it so often that I grew tired of it, haha!
Looks good! For a future basics episode, could you show how to properly cook, de-shell, and different ways to serve lobster? I love lobster, but I don't want to pay for it at a restaurant, and it seems pretty intimidating to prepare in the kitchen. Thank you! Your channel is the best.
or you know, you could just google online for 5 minutes and find way more. Or you could just make something using common sense as a guide. Sorry wait i just realized you don't have that my bad
@@nakedsnake836 actually yes. It really bothers me how reliant people can be on one specific way to learn something especially when it comes to cooking
@@joem1480 Because you may want a ''vegan'' (it more a vegetable soup in my opinion) soup without being vegan and want a grill-cheez to accompany it? I think it's a good reason personally. It's like putting the cream in the end if you're vegan it's up to you not to put it, no one breaks your hand to do it ;) (sorry my english is not the best,I am learning to write it beacause is not my first language ;) )
Hey babish, I’ve been getting into cooking a LOT more after watching your videos. It’s helped me become more confident as a chef and I’ve actually managed to impress people! Which is why I’m making that tomato soup tomorrow before work, it’s gonna be a hit!
Hi I’ve just started university life so im living by myself for the first time! I’m very excited but as the weeks go by im getting sick bc of my diet with so much instant food which doesn’t feel filling at all. Could you do an episode for college kids or people who’ve just started living alone? I dont even know what to buy for groceries so im spending money on stuff I don’t even use. All the spices i have right now are garlic salt and pepper. 😭😭
Did you think to look at the circular to see what was on sale to the groceries? sometimes it helps with a small budget and a desire to eat well. ;) And you can make many good recipes with garlic salt and pepper as spices :3 (sorry my english is not the best, I am learning to write it beacause is not my first language ;) )
Simple butternut squash soup: Place half a butter nut squash, 2 halved onions, and an irresponsible amount of garlic cloves on a pan and broil until blackened. Blend with half a cup of chicken stock and some olive oil and enjoy. T'is oh so good.
I always find the basics with babish relaxing, but with the different soothing music and Andrew's voice a bit more raspy I am ready to take a nap. Amazing job.
Made the elote soup after seeing your appearance on the ad lib dinner party. A friend of mine kept exclaiming in the middle of dinner something to the effect of, "This soup is amazing!" 10/10 would recommend for your next dinner party or gathering.
Another way to make a cream soup, if you are avoiding dairy, is to add a boiled potato cut in bite sizes to the blender. Thank you for the video and I hope you feel better soon!
THANK YOU!! I've been struggling to find my favourite foods dairy-free since I found out I was lactose intolerant - this tomato soup looks perfect. Thanks Babish!!!
