ASMR Potato Leek Soup

A cooking video making a simple peasant-style potato leek soup. Recipe by Jacques Pepin.
relaxation for sleep, deep voice

[@MyLaundryStinks]

Petition for you to do an ASMR cooking episode each week because this is absolutely fantastic!

[@MonotonicASMR]

I'm getting a very nice response to them so I'll definitely do more!

[@ifrit8989]

@@MonotonicASMR Would love to see you do more soups. The bubbling sounds are SO good.

[@jriley8614]

I made this soup tonight following your instructions! Added some butter to the olive oil sautee, a dollop of Worcestershire sauce, and some celery seed. AMAZING.

[@MonotonicASMR]

So happy you made it your own and enjoyed!

[@shy1000]

Something about "Peasant Soup" really speaks to me. Also those are the most beautiful leeks I've ever seen

[@MonotonicASMR]

They really were wonderful!

Me too.

so true the leeks are LUSH

[@jarekhartwell6235]

The thing you said in the beginning about older cooking shows and how much more mellow they are reminded me of something. Before she passed, I'd watch cooking shows with my grandma after school. I loved the old cooking shows but most aren't like that anymore. But your cooking content reminds of it a lot, and it's nice to see

[@MonotonicASMR]

That's a wonderful memory, thanks for sharing!

[@MonotonicASMR]

Yes, I like to make polished vids but it's also important to remember that life isn't perfect!

[@guacomanny]

This video is really well lit and composed. I like how most of the colors are green or brown

[@MonotonicASMR]

Thank you so much! This soup is kind of harmonious in that way.

[@iodinev]

That red onion really enriches the color scheme, and the white leeks are both bright and soft

[@rororo869]

The wooden spoon hitting the pan occasionally sounds so nice, almost meditative

[@MonotonicASMR]

Glad that sound works for you!

[@elvenstein]

I’m not even trying to sleep watching this. Just admiring that awesome looking soup.

[@MonotonicASMR]

I feel you!

[@gamersunite7968]

Here's a tip for cutting onions! When cutting onions, don't cut the bottom off. Cut the top off then place the onion on the cut surface then cut pole to pole. The bottoms will be on both sides of the onion and you can use that as a handhold so you avoid having a layer pop off and potentially slice your finger. Also try this with a little bit of butter melted into the olive oil. The smell of leeks, onions and garlic in butter and olive oil is honestly such a hunger inducing smell. Sprinkle some salt in when cooking the leeks/onion to season them and help soften them, draws out the water.

[@MonotonicASMR]

Thanks for the suggestions!

[@franzmuller3396]

Easy peasy lemon squeezy Japanese and you can use the green part of the leak especially in soup you cook it soft anyway or even puree it, I use it in fillings e g

I heard "dirty, dirty vegetable" and immediately thought of that episode of Black Books. I too miss Pepin's show. Him and his apricot jam lol. A master. Watching him take apart a chicken always impressed me. A Gentleman. Glad I stumbled on this.

[@MonotonicASMR]

I learned how to take apart a chicken from Mr. Pepin.

[@jriley8614]

Some voices are just naturally soothing, like a special quality that can't be taught. You have that quality and the production value of your videos is an incredible showcase for it!

[@MonotonicASMR]

Thank you so much for the kind words!

[@jeannineasselin2804]

I totally agree.

[@luna7207]

I've heard a LOT of asmr voices in my day....but yours has to be in the top three of MOST soothing/relaxing. So glad I stumbled upon your channel.

God bless the small channels with amazing content. I'm genuinely interested to see and to listen to this. I absolutely love these types of simplistic videos, with simple ideas and actual noises. It gives the video a very real feeling to it, which personally relaxes me more than your usual ASMR video. May more people find this channel.

[@MonotonicASMR]

So happy to hear you enjoyed this style of video! More cooking will be coming...

[@D.H.-mg2cz]

Your cooking videos are my favourite. Looks like the still painting of the old masters of the Netherlands.

Came for the asmr and stayed for the recipe, I'm genuinely interested in making this soup now lol

[@MonotonicASMR]

Nice, hope you like!

[@jackdotzler6115]

I think a really underrated quality of your cooking videos is that you stick to warm/muted tones. Too many other channels have harsh purple/blue light which makes it harder to fall asleep to.

[@MonotonicASMR]

Thanks for this feedback!

[@omoyams]

this video just appeared on my feed a random night 2 weeks ago and it basically compelled me to make the soup. i finished at around 6am but it was worth the effort👍👍
