Can you start a new show called "Broke with Babish" so you can teach us how to cook something delicious on a really small budget

[@McFreend]

I made this yesterday (granted in a much smaller pot than his) and I still got about 6 bowls worth out of it. Got the ingredients for about $20 at WalMart. $3.33 per meal is pretty budget friendly, I think.

My mom made chicken soup in a very similar way, and prepared her stock for 24 hours. When I first moved out of the house, I ended up in a colder environment than I was used to. I ended up getting sick for awhile, and felt awful. I remembered my mom's chicken soup - she prepared it much like you do - and bought some from the store. It barely helped at all. My mom found out I was feeling ill. She made a whole batch of chicken soup and sent it to me in mason jars. I was feeling so awful one night, the last thing I wanted to do was eat, but she made me promise to. One bite - everything changed. I felt a warmth radiating through my whole body. I could literally feel myself healing. My appetite came back. I ate the whole bowl and had another. Slept soundly, woke up, and the sickness was gone. Thus I can attest that this heavenly stuff will indeed cure anything.

Soup, of any kind (chicken noodle, menudo, caldo de res, shuyo, pho, gumbo, etc.), especially homemade, is the end-all, be-all cure for everything. The flu, sour stomach, heartbreak, bad days, tonsillitis, tonsillectomy (personal experience from when I couldn't eat anything for weeks 'cuz my throat just didn't want to heal), and I didn't want to say depression but it *IS* harder to not feel something when you've got a tummy full of warm and heartfelt goodness.

[@vinsonnguyen8717]

I really like the idea of using the scraps from one dish in another. As someone who has to make all their meals, I like to try to be as efficient as possible with my ingredients and my budget. I'd be very interested in a series of videos where you use ingredients from one dish to make another for a week's worth of meals. I think a lot of people like me would really benefit from being able to watch that and plan their meals and their shopping around it with confidence.

[@bbyjcky1]

That’s the main question I’m having. What exactly can we do with the leftover meat from the chicken used to make stock

[@TheNinnyfee]

And in this video there were quite some scraps. My inner WW2-surviving granny voice was like, "NOOOOO!" a few times 😄. That's the advice from my real granny that stuck. Half of the leek, onion skin which most chefs leave in if it's clean, and carrot ends immediately come to mind. You could stew the leeks or make more stock out of them with the onion skin and other veggie scraps. I just learned by a comment to another video. that you can freeze veggie scraps until you have enough and make stock. If you have leftover bones from a carved roasted chicken you can throw these in, too.

[@TheNinnyfee]

I even saw that you can re-root leek/spring onion bottoms, mini Romane lettuce and other veggies and put them in water to grow more leeks. With spring onions it works.

[@dylanvickers7953]

Kanji Lopez-Alt does that sometimes, maybe check some of his stuff out, he turned leftover carbonara into savory morning French toast

[@sanrose2152]

I have made chicken salad with the leftover meat.

[@larswesterhausen7262]

Great video. Just my two cents: If you don't skim the stock, the scum will actually become solid, sink to the bottom and the liquid basically clears itself. If you don't stir like a madman in between or let it boil rapidly, nothing will get cloudy. It will be clear like consumée. Also you might want to leave the onion skins on, because they add to the golden color. What can't be said often enough is: DON'T SALT IT. You are absolutely right. You never know, how much you're gonna reduce it. And furthermore, there is a second reason why we don't salt, called osmosis. Water always flows from the level of low to the level of high salt concentration. So if the cooking liquid is not salty, the natural salts in the meat and veggis will suck in the water. The cells fill up and eventually burst, so all the flavor gets washed out into the cooking liquid (diffusion). That's why we don't salt the water if we're after the stock, but lightly salt it if we want to use the meat later on.

[@derekwest8636]

that osmosis bit has to be some of the most critical information ive learned in regards to stock. Its science!!!

[@larswesterhausen7262]

@@derekwest8636 Osmosis and diffusion - cooking stock is all is all science. @ M T If you peel the outer skin layer and leave the the inner clean layers on, it's not gonna be bitter.

You're not wrong. I spent 5 hours wondering why I was wasting my time on this bland broth but once it got past the 4 hour point, with some seasoning and the other vegetables it became an almost religious experience. I didn't even need noodles. What would be good is some more guidance on the ratio of water to erm... other stock stuff. For me I just went for the "barely covered" rule and I couldn't get boneless thighs so it made sense to throw the thigh bones in to the pot with 500g wings... but I had to top up a little once or twice. Holy shit. This stuff made my prostate shudder.

I had a few chicken spines, and wing tips. So I tossed those in, a few pounds of wings that were on sale, and because I had them three turkey leg bones cracked open. I tell you, the turkey didn't make it taste like turkey, but definitely added some kind of richness.

[@Marcel-Marcel]

When you leave the stock for at least 4 hours, does it need to be left on heat?

[@victoriakathleen01]

I'm glad he mentioned that you can use scraps, because I was very confused when he peeled and cut the vegetables and then used the whole veggies and not the peels. When trying to make the most out of your food and avoid waste, stock is the best way to do that! I keep veggie scraps in a bag in the freezer until I have enough to make stock, and after straining you can compost it :)

A quick tip to prevent getting sick (or to help get over your cold faster) - Always spit out after sneezing, and try to "hock out the loogie" in your throat. It works, I've been doing it for years, it helps get rid of the mucus in your sinuses and throat since that's where 90% of the germs are. 10 seconds of preventive care will save you 10+ days of being sick.

[@dennisweggeman3751]

For anyone asking for amounts of ingredients, here's what I used and found out what was correct for me (not including the obvious like the garlic, and you can indeed not add enough herbs): - Celery: 1,5 pieces (used about 3/4 for the stock and 3/4 for the filling) - Carrots: about 18 to 20 carrots - Leek: a large one - Chicken for the stock: about 800 grams of wings - Chicken thighs: about 8 pieces of thigh I think I used a pot about as big as in the video, I added about 3,5 to 4 liters of water (4 liters when adding some additional water after skimming the fat). I wouldn't add the dille next time, or maybe less, using "a ton of it" makes your soup actually taste like dille to much in my opinion. Other than that the soup is mind blowing and would definately make it again.

Well I'm just saying this is *Basics* with Babish, it seems like omitting anything could lead to some issues for people new to cooking.

[@abergs-dp2ob]

yeah flagrant omission on his part:/ still this shit looks amazing

[@qwerfa]

You're right... he went from no water to full pot :P. But if you're wondering, you cover your ingredients and add a bit more water to make sure they stay covered while it's simmering. The exact amount doesn't matter all that much because you can always dilute it if it's too strong flavoured, or reduce it if it's too watery, as long as you have everything covered (and a little extra) to extract as much flavour as possible.

Making chicken or turkey stock with the carcass of a bird that's been smoked is even more amazing. After the Thanksgiving turkey has been carved I freeze the giblets, spine, neck, and the rest of the bones (along with any meat that might not get immediately eaten as leftovers) and wait a few weeks until we get REALLY cold. Then I make smoked turkey soup- either with wild rice or pearl barley. It's the absolute best on a cold winter evening.

Just this past Monday I made an Alfredo sauce that called for chicken broth, but I used my own chicken stock instead and it was absolutely divine, better than any Alfredo sauce I've had at a restaurant. Buy whole chickens. Cook chicken, keep bones, make stock, repeat.Your taste buds will love you for it.

[@joshuasaylor45]

Watched this video multiple times over the past couple months and I finally got the time and courage to try my first stock and this dish. I clocked the stock for 8 hours I could of used a bit more chicken in the stock but oh well. End results is an 8 year old stating “I may have this for desert.”

[@BlackSharn]

I cooked it today and the family loved it....but it wasn't as strong a chicken flavor as I thought it would be. Almost tasted half like a vegetable stock. Next time, I would either add more chicken than what he used or ditch the turnip/parsnip.

I was already confident in your judgment previous to watching this video, but my goodness you have exceeded expectations on this. Did everything you said (forgot lemongrass) truly the best soup I’ve ever had. Thank you so much!

[@Daniel-dj7vc]

As a Pole I would really suggest You to try celeriac instead of cellery, also It's a nice idea to put the onion on your stove for browning before You put it into the pot and if You want your chicken soup to be great You should always give your chicken a friend of a different meat a duck, turkey or beef (bones are great here). Cheers.

[@evanprice3286]

What about pork bones?

[@joelkennedy2701]

If your chicken soup isn't a little green, then you need more herbs. I loooove chicken soup! (also, you can use wild rice instead of noodles if you have celiac's)

[@joeyb9146]

I've made this multiple times since I first followed this video months and months ago and it has changed my life

[@miguellucero]

I’m about to buy all the ingredients. Only problem I have with this “recipe” is there are no amounts. I’ll need to skim through the video to grasp the amounts. Any way you author could add it to the description?

[@d6damiani]

@@Grace-ez2ot his website doesn’t have specific amounts either. Not that I could find.

[@sarahmel123]

@@d6damiani Yeah, it also never mentions adding water at all, which is interesting.

[@SuperBossGiovanni]

That's because soup like this is mostly to one's specific taste. If you like celery, use more, if you hate carrots, use less. Perfect Chicken soup will be slightly different for everyone

I absolutely half-assed this recipe and it still came out great 😄

[@SethroAloysius]

I'm sick and have a bunch of chicken spines from practicing the whole chicken so this couldn't have come at a better time.

[@notgaybear5544]

Made the stock last night following your ingredients exactly and it is the best chicken stock I have ever tasted/made. I have watched your video while making chicken noodle soup many times and usually I just leave out all the ingredients you use that I normally don't (parsnips, turnips). From now on I will do it your way first then make modifications if desired.

[@melissabrito2260]

I made this for the third time yesterday. Finally made a big enough batch to freeze a few portions to keep some on hand

[@angusmac1056]

The intro music always throws me off, i'm like "oh the vid paus- nope"

[@ayeshak8365]

Had my heart ❤️ at “ton of dill” ah! Yes!!! Making this soup right now. Thanks for the recipe chef! Also a side note: you can use the chicken and carrots from the stock for your dog (if you have a dog like mine that loves cooked chicken and vegetables instead of store bought dog food… but as always use your own discretion).

[@elkaiozen]

I know many don't have one or aren't comfortable with using them but if you do have one and are comfortable with them; I would highly recommend using a pressure cooker while making the stock so you get much more of the collagen and dramatically cut down on the cook time.

[@johnny_apple_]

Just made this stock and soup... when you said a lot of dill I think I went a little to much.... it became over powering... but to that note still the absolute best soup I’ve ever made. Thanks babbs

[@Forevertrue]

Thanks man, I am a chicken soup fan as well. I am glad there was no cardamom or liquorish in it. I Like well done, well brothed, well seasoned, and well cooked chicken noodle soup! I will have to try the root vegetables, turnip and parsnip, in my soup as well. Thanks again!

[@babishculinaryuniverse]

Hope you enjoy!

[@triiiiiiiisha]

Ineluctable Smith we aren't making pho here buddy, just chicken soup, lol

[@sassora]

I get you- eeeeeverything nowadays has to include stuff like cardamom and cumin, turmeric or curry. I get it. Asian spices are trendy. But give me a break every now and again, not everything has to taste like grandma perfume.

[@Dasman_adventures]

Made this recipe - It WORKS! I blended the stock leftover veggies and will use them later in soups. This recipe is WOW because it really works well with many veggies (I added bokchoy, curry leaves, turmeric) and it tasted amazing!!

[@12jmlnv7]

The key to the perfect stock: *throw in everything under the sun*

[@leasagna2202]

with a soda on the side........ btw my mom always makes this for me when i'm sick or just having a depressive episode and i love her for that. i love my mom so much LOVE UR MOMS

[@marycreatesart]

My husband is in the middle of making this for the first time as gifts for my family for Christmas. We are jarring and freezing the soup base and the noodles will be packaged separately and gifted together as a meal from us. Our house has smelled like fresh chicken noodle soup for 2 DAYS and I have been tortured wanting a bowl of this soup! I finally got a sample bowl of it and let me tell you I INHALED IT. it didn't even have noodles in it yet! this would go so well with a toasted Italian or French baguette and some butter. I really hope we get to have some servings left over for ourselves!

My mom was uncertain when I told her I’d be making chicken soup from scratch, but when she took a bite she said it was “the BEST soup I’ve ever had” the chicken was so soft and all the herbs were delicious! Thanks for another amazing recipe Babish!!

[@yomommie]

Made this recipe and it’s def the best chicken soup I’ve ever had. Thanks babish.

[@LadyAneh]

Why? Life is too short for low res.

[@tike012]

Because if you watch it right after the video gets released only the 360p version is available until the higher quality versions finish encoding/uploading. So "true fans" will watch in low quality just to be able to watch ASAP.

[@TheKnowledgeAge]

This was my first time cooking with leeks, parsnips, and turnips; I feel like such a newbie, they smelt so good raw. Everything in the pot, now let's see what happens in 3 hours.

[@HighArchingCrests]

Anton K. Currently cooking the stock too! Can’t wait until dinner

[@HighArchingCrests]

Anton K. One thing - are you covering the stock as it simmers?

[@TheKnowledgeAge]

@@HighArchingCrests no I didn't. I lost about 20% liquid but I re added it at the end, there is a lot of flavor so o figured putting water back into it was fine. Wow best soup I've ever made!

[@HighArchingCrests]

@@TheKnowledgeAge glad to hear it. Turned out really well for me too! Was honestly a lot of work but worth it!

[@Tinky1rs]

Try a celeriac once. It's the root veg of celery (similar taste obviously, but more sweet) and works great in thicker soups. You can try to make Dutch erwtensoep (Traditional Dutch Split Pea Soup).

[@scarmoon9395]

[@vgbondarev]

“...it will mend a broken heart...” Al Green would like a word with you.

[@ADayOOO]

I usually add the onion peels into my stock. Not sure what it does, but I remember hearing somewhere that it makes the stock darker and richer. No idea if that's true though lol! Also, I like to brown the onions that go into the actual soup. It gives the soup a really nice roasted flavor mmm :)

[@bonniemarter4851]

Me--Yes I do the same. I think it makes a difference. 😉

[@andrewroberts7145]

I also leave the onion skin on. Does nothing for flavor, but helps give the stock a little nicer yellow color. And it's one less thing to do. Always a bonus.

[@rbettsx]

Me Sure. Onion skins for colour. I don't understand why the other vegetables got peeled, either? I save the peelings and trimmings of carrots, parsnips, turnips, celeriac, and so on, frozen, along with any bones, carcasses, I've accumulated. Personally I don't go for the flavour of boiled onion, so it's leek/greens of scallion every time for me. Don't throw away leftover mushroom stalks / parsley stalks, either!

[@calciferdanna]

I just made this, I am eating a bowl of it currently, and I can attest to it's magical powers. I was so tired and drained and this soup has completely perked me up. This is one for the books, 100%.

[@steliamoo69]

I just made this, first time ever makeing a broth from scratch, but I have to say the complexity of this dish has forever changed my view on chicken noodle. It took 20 hours to make but it was so worth it. I had a cold and it litterely caused my sinuses to drain and I feel so much better. I made about 2 gallons with of stock, and I think it cost me about $28 in total, everything picked up from a Asian market. Thank you so much for this, Iook forward to the next dish I make.

Thanks, now I finally know what to do with stock! I’ve watched this video about all kinds of skills people should have in the kitchen and it taught me how to do stock. But you take everything out and you’re left with nothing but the liquid. It sounds silly but I was so confused how this would be turned into a soup. This video is amazing and your style of bringing everything across made me subscribe instantly. Stock might be liquid gold but your channel seems like… channel gold 🥹
