🥫Taco Soup Recipe Stuff In Our Cupboard Keep Calm - Cook On!
welcome friends welcome back to thekitchen I hope all of you are safe and
healthy given what's happening right nowI had no plans on cooking this week in
the kitchen my work schedule was quitebusy this week with other things I
wasn't gonna shoot or anything and thenglobal pandemic happens all of
productions that I was going to work onthis week are shut down because people
don't want to congregate and I thoughtoh well maybe I'll shoot some stuff in
the studio I go to the grocery store Idon't know what it's like where you live
but here in Toronto the grocery storesare crazy everything everything is gone
this the shelves are pretty much pickedclean
people are panic buying there's no needto panic buy there's really no need to
panic buy so Jules and I started lookingaround and saying okay well we'll be
fine we've got lots of stuff in ourpantry we'll just cook what we've got
and we'll make doeverything will be fine and then I
thought let's bring you along for theride I'll cook a few things that are
really simple edit them quickly get themup and maybe it'll help you out so today
we're gonna make a soup and I'll tellyou a story of this soup as we go along
so I've got a pot on here fairly highheat I've got some ground beef that I
pulled out of the freezer last nightthought it out we're gonna put it in and
we're gonna start to brown it off andjust get in there with the spoon and
break it up a little bit you don't wantit to clump together as it's browning
that's browning up nicely now this is asoup I've never made before we have
quite a few ground beef soups on thewebsite on the channel most of them have
rice and cabbage in them those arereally good couldn't get any cabbage
didn't have any cabbage in the house butI saw this recipe in the newspaper
yesterday yesterday or the day beforeyesterday and it's from Ricardo and now
if you live in Canada you'll know whoRicardo is a really great chef from
Quebec has a magazine he's you know heis a he's a really good guy it's got a
recipe here for hamburger flavored soupand I read it I thought oh that's
interesting but what could I do withwhat I have in my house and even though
I had all of the ingredients for thehamburger soup I thought let's take it
in adifferent direction let's make taco
flavored soup so that's what we're gonnamake we're gonna make taco flavored soup
using stuff that Julie and I already hadin our pantry stuff that you probably
have in your pantry or some version ofit that you have in your pantry already
that you can just throw together reallyeasily next into the beef pot are a
couple of sliced onions pantry item thatwe always have something that's always
in the cupboard or in the fridge andsome Chipotle and adobo sauce we always
have a couple of cans of chipotle inadobo sauce and if I don't finish a full
can I'll stick it in a container and putit in the freezer and then just slice
off what I need when I need it and sothat's what I did this morning we're
gonna give this a skirt we're gonna keepit down until the onions have softened
now I've already started building flavorin this pot by browning the beef and
putting in the Chipotle and adobo saucenext in I'm gonna put some of our
homemade taco spice if you don't haveour homemade taco spice in your pantry
cuz probably you don't a packet of tacospice would work fantastic so I'm sure a
lot of you will have that in the back ofyour cupboard or a splice spice blend
that is tex-mexor something along those lines so I'm
just going to put in a couple ofspoonfuls and see what happens now ours
is a mix of a bunch of different thingsI will link to the recipe below if you
want to check it out I'm just gonna putthat in stir it in to coat everything
and then the next in is Rotel and Iwould put in two cans of Rotel if I had
them but I don't so sort of make up I'mgonna add in one of our jars of stewed
tomatoes because we have a lot of stewedtomatoes down in the basement it's
something we make every summer we keepover the winter we use all the time
I don't expect that a lot of people dothis at this point in 2020 but if you do
this is a great way to use up yourtomatoes and if you don't I'm sure
you've got a couple of cans of tomatoesin your pantry
so I'll just stir this in and get itgoing now the next thing we need is some
stock chicken stock beef stock porkstock whatever stock you want to use
vegetable stock if you're grabbing yourpantry and what you need is a box like
this that's fine it's in your pantry italways should be in your pantry it's
always in our pantry just in casebut last night or two nights ago we
pulled the chicken out of the freezerand roasted it and after I finished the
chicken last night I put the bones inthis pot along with a couple of celery
stalks and an onion a little bit saltand pepper and stuck it in the oven 180
degrees and I've left it overnight sothis has been in here for about 12 hours
what we've got is a nice beautifulclearish dark stock and that's what I'm
gonna use in the soup and making stockin the oven is just so simple because
you don't have to worry about it youdon't have to stir it you don't have to
worry about it boiling over or boilingor getting cloudy you don't worry about
it evaporating too much with a lid on inthe oven
it just goes put it in forget about it12 hours later you've got an incredible
stock so I think I've got enough stockin there now I'm gonna bring this up to
a boil and just kind of let it go forabout 15 minutes and I'm gonna stick our
lucky iron fish in because about 10minutes of boiling will give us enough
iron in this soup just to top us up alittle bit before I put the last couple
of ingredients in I just need to fishout the fish it's usually pretty easy to
find there it is and it's hot so prayertongs or something else just to grab it
now last two ingredients I'm gonna putin some pickled jalapenos
I think the pickled jalapenos will bringquite a bit of flavor to it but also the
vinegar that it's pickled in will add areally great brightness to the flavor
vinegar or an acid of any kind is greatin a soup because it's sort of it
brightens everything up makes everythingtaste better
so I kept those in and macaroni macaroninot really a taco ingredient at all but
I think macaroni in this soup will begreat so in that goes now I'm just gonna
cook this until the macaroni is al denteor cooked through you could cook the
macaroni separately and then put it injust as the soup finishes by putting the
macaroni in now and letting it cook inthe broth it will thicken the soup a
little bitthe macaroni will release starches to
thicken the soup and it will also as itcooks absorb some of the liquid taking
on the flavor of the soup and gettingthat flavor all the way through the
macaroni hey Jules hey Lawrence so how'dyour soup work out I see you're doing
some it occurred to me at the lastminute that frozen corn would be really
good in this I'd like more vegetables inthis is usually my statement so maybe
you know that much corn and I'll juststir it in and frozen corn cooks
immediately I mean as soon as it's justin there heated
we're probably good to scoop it out
right now one of the things I always tryto get across on this channel is learn
methods if you learn methods instead oflearning recipes then you can look at
something like this from Ricardothanks Ricardo and take inspiration and
make it your own because we almost dideverything we did have it well we didn't
have any deal - no we do yeah we've goteverything that's on this list but I
thought let's just take it in adifferent direction and see what happens
and I think all of these flavors workwell together so what you can do if
you've learned methods is you can takeflavors that work in other dishes and
then just sort of transform it intosomething else I mean let's face it how
many different flavors are tomato-basedflavors right I mean so many soups so
many soups of tomato based tomatoes aresuch a global type of fruit and so you
get this and I know that I know that youknow macaroni maybe not very Taco II but
I think it worksokay hmm
yeah it was really good yeah and thereyou could also put rice in it
Oh Glenn mmm it might be a little spicybut you've had it in in a while it
builds up you got it now um no okay somaybe too much chipotle in adobo sauce
but you know I'm riffing I think it's Ithink it's still little dal dal put
yogurt we'll take care of that umdeliver the sour cream put some cheese
on top you've got cheese you couldcrumble in nacho chips I mean you could
I I mean we go into this at the end ofevery video enjoy it make it your own
make it your own let us know what you doso stay safe stay healthy thanks for
stopping by see you guys soon I wonderif chicken
