Sounds interesting. 00:12 It calls for: 00:49 Now, this also has at the end 1/4 cup of 00:52 soy sour cream and we're gonna be using 00:55 that vegetable cooking spray. 00:58 Now Okay. I know somebody said, 01:00 that's a lot of ingredients and it is. 01:02 But this is what makes the soups so good. 01:06 So good. Alright. You're gonna start 01:07 off Curtis, we're get those onions. 01:09 I'll help you get that started 01:10 while you get that oil going. Okay. 01:12 We're gonna chop those onions up 01:13 and put those in that skillet once again. 01:17 You go ahead and get the oil started. 01:19 I'm gonna get this oil going here. 01:20 Umh. You smell that nice smell. 01:22 You smell that ginger there. 01:24 I'm trying to cook with onions and cumin. 01:28 And ginger. And ginger. 01:29 And Curtis, ginger is also a wonderful 01:32 medicinal herb. Yes, it is. 01:33 We can talk a lot about ginger 01:35 for arthritis pain, 01:37 get some ginger tea and put a washcloth in it. 01:40 Let it soak. Put it right there on your knee 01:43 and you maybe go for that. 01:45 Umh. Helps sooth the upset stomach and. 01:47 And good for upset tummies, 01:49 good for upset tummies. 01:50 Yes indeed. It's it does. Alright, you're going 01:51 to go ahead and put in that ginger, also there. 01:53 Well, ginger going in there. 01:55 Fresh ginger, fresh ginger. 01:57 I need something small 02:00 How about a spatula. 02:02 There you go. Okay. 02:05 We're gonna stir that around a little bit there 02:07 and you see that smells moving around, 02:09 moving around, turn it down some honey, 02:11 you got it too high. I got a whiff of it. 02:14 We've got a whiff of it. There we go. 02:17 Alright. We're going to sauté that a little bit. 02:19 It actually turns translucent. 02:22 Translucent. The onion itself there, 02:23 you don't want to over burn. 02:25 Remember, you don't want to burn 02:26 that garlic too much, you want to make 02:27 sure that you keep the fire down. 02:29 You smell the ginger? Oh! Yes, I do. 02:30 Love it, love it, love it. 02:32 Now I am going to begin to add in the 02:33 other spices that's going to go with this, alright. 02:35 And that's going to be the chicken 02:37 style seasoning. The cumin. 02:40 That's going to be the cayenne. 02:42 All those are going in right now. 02:46 And keep you from getting yourself. Oh! 02:48 Worked up. Just so that you can't, you know, 02:49 yes stir it around a little bit there 02:51 and then guess what. We are going to end 02:52 all that by putting in one and, 02:55 look at that, look at that, look at that 02:56 Umh, Umh. Pan that out there 02:58 so the camera crew can smell that. 02:59 Smell the whole place. 03:01 They are having a rough time, baby. 03:02 Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed. Now I am going to slowly 03:04 slowly pour that one and a half cup of water. Okay. 03:10 That calmed it down. Didn't it? Yes, it did. 03:12 Alright. It calmed me down too. 03:16 I turn up the fire little bit. 03:17 Turn it up a little bit, turn it up a little bit. 03:19 Now, if you've noticed that I have water also, 03:25 but my water is a kind of orangish color, 03:27 and that's because well, we actually 03:30 steamed those carrots. 03:31 We actually have in there the liquid base 03:35 from the carrots itself. 03:36 So rather than throw it out. 03:37 We kept that water 'cause we're gonna 03:39 need another cup and half of that water also 03:40 as we finish making the soup up. 03:42 So what we're gonna do here is. 03:44 Curtis, that you're gonna let it sit for 03:46 a while honey, it's going to, 03:47 actually we have to let it come to a boil. 03:49 What we are going to do is I am going to 03:50 open up the food processor, 03:52 and we're gonna begin to add in those carrots. 03:55 We already got the carrots steamed 03:56 and ready to go. Streamed and ready to go. 03:58 Okay. Then move this a little bit closer. 04:00 It's going to go into the food processor. 04:02 This is the heavy duty kitchen aid. 04:04 Umh. Umh.
