Gordon Ramsay - Swede and cardamom soup

Mr. Mystery : It's a quote from the scene in Dickens' "Oliver Twist" when the young Oliver asks for another helping of gruel from the orphanage's cook. The request incenses the penny-pinching Mr. Bumble, the beadle, who manages the poor house and ultimately leads to Oliver's being put out for an apprenticeship.

Love this recipe. My teenaged son asks for this all the time. It's one of his favorite dishes ever. Thanks for the recipe.

[@johnthor4999]

watching this was really relaxing.

[@salesi712]

Another Ramsay video where you realize what a pleasure it is to learn from a master. The man is still a student and teacher at heart.

[@tsukie11]

Beautifully said and very true.

[@BISlover544]

I love his food metaphors...it really makes a great mental picture to how the food feels, almost.

[@roflcopter4388]

I was expecting him to say "FUCKING DELICIOUS" at the end LOL

[@alifewithluna4134]

One of my favorite soups EVER. I make it with heartier winter squashes and it’s just as good. I don’t use a sieve tho, I’m a savage that just eats it blended. But that’s why he’s Gordon Ramsay

[@michaelbressette2599]

I just made this. Its beautiful & very aromatic. I didnt have Honey so I substituted with Maple Syrup & I used Smoked Cardamon in place of the standard & WOW this is elegant. Thanks Gordon for this recipe. :) UPDATE I forgot, I used a turkey stock I made myself so the flavor is likely different than yours but this creamy warm fortifying soup is exquisite & is velvety in texture too. I am unsure it needed the Olive oil because this soup is already super rich on its own or with the cream. The smoked Cardamom lends a very subtle smoky aftertaste allowing the SWEDE to stand out up front. This is amazing how i can pick out individual ingredient flavor in this soup. I am not sure SOUP is an adequate label for this. I think perhaps a bisque minus the seafood maybe more appropriate, speaking of which this soup would be nice with some white fish or haddock in it... Either way it is very delicious & a perfect fall winter pleaser.

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

Ah, the cheffy olive oil finishing touch ! 😁 It could have been worse... Here in Norway we had a tv chef who put parsley and garlic in everything ! 😳

[@Battouga]

Ironically, swedes are called brits in Sweden. I just made that up. Sorry. They are called kålrot (cabbage root).

[@CreamofFetus]

Gordon always makes great metaphors... and food.

[@flowergrowersmith449]

I reckon he's the most inspiring TV chef by far. Wonderfully talented..

Damn Gordon and his floating prepositions! "IN!" "ON!" "IN!" "OFF!" "ON!"

Yeah i like that about him.

[@CosyGnomeStudios]

To finish it off with a solid verb - Done!!

[@fluorcyl6112]

Yeah that's a signature thing with Gordon. In, on, done. You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around!

[@flowergrowersmith449]

This is a glorious recipe. Made it straight away. Next time will add a bit less cardamom - this many are a little overpowering IMO. Honestly, a beautiful flavour combo!

[@one00proof]

@stevensartifacts not necessarily. this soup is like most thick soups (squash, etc.) in that the veg needs to boil in stock to soften the texture. doing it that way tho, u lose the chance to caramelize it, so his way utilizes both methods. the idea is the product caramelizes but is then subsequently "boiled" when the condensation falls down. caramelization can also lead to a burned flavor, which isn't really in his style. to compensate for that tho, he uses honey to give some extra sweetness.

[@ninamarie8654]

You are a very nice man I never realized what a good teacher you were because I've never watched you before. Wow this soup looks fantastic 😀👋

[@mjremy2605]

Rutabagas likely originated as a cross between turnips (Brassica rapa, variety rapa) and wild cabbage (Brassica oleracea) and are thought to have been first bred in Russia or Scandinavia in the late Middle Ages. Rutabagas are also generally much larger than turnips. So for a quick rule of thumb, the brownish-yellowish ones are rutabagas, and the smaller white and purple ones are turnips. In terms of their flavor, rutabagas are slightly sweeter-tasting than turnips whereas turnips have a slightly more radishy flavor. Rutabaga has 1177 mg of potassium each!!! Turnip has only 233 mg. Daily intake is 5000 mg. Rutabaga is also higher in Vit B6, Calcium, Vit C, magnesium than Turnips. On the downside, carbs are 33 mg to Turnip's 23mg. While the glycemic index of rutabaga is fairly high at 72, the estimated glycemic load is just 7. 4. Glycemic load is generally considered the more valuable measurement as it takes serving size into account when calculating a food's effect on blood sugar. Looks fabulous and so healthy! Thank you Chef Gordon!

For those talking about his pronunciation of celery @ 1:18, I’m pretty sure it’s because he nearly said ‘celeriac’ by accident but stopped himself.

[@umarah4329]

Omg the combination of flavours. Wow. Would never have thought to use cardamom. This was delicious.

@mrbeanaswell No, it's quite typical, especially since if you use a really good EVOO, it can complement the soup.

[@goodyear2602]

The funny thing is, that a lot of Swedish pastries actually have cardamom (kardemumma) as a main flavour spice in it. So (S)/swedes and cardamom = natural combination ;)

[@AbstractMan23]

looks great but wonder why he blended it with the thyme stalks and cardamom pod husks still in...

@herdondoozer Brits call Turnips Swede for some reason

[@adamnoman4658]

A Literate Chef! @ 7 23 "Please, sir, I want more" is a quote from the scene in Dickens' "Oliver Twist" when the young Oliver asks for another helping of gruel from the orphanage's cook. The request incenses the penny-pinching Mr. Bumble, the beadle, who manages the poor house and ultimately leads to Oliver's being put out for an apprenticeship. A little ironic under the circumstances, though, since a modern-day Oliver isn't going to get withing a 100 yards of getting a first helping of this or any of Gordie's cooking. After all, it's a soup fit for a king, not a thankless orphan, isn't it?

[@kurosujiomake]

ok for those not in europe the swede is not a turnip it is called rutabagas here at least in the west coast it is
