It's normal for the center of older beef case-ready packs to be a bit more brown in the center. It's the myglobin draining. The reason the top stays red and the package is bloated is that those case ready packs are filled with an inert gas like nitrogen to displace the oxidation and keep the color. I was tired when I wrote this. I meant that the nitrogen displaces the oxygen to reduce oxidation of the meat.

Ground beef soup is actually very common where I live! It's basically a tradition. Of course, we also first fry the ground beef (or beef/pork 50/50) before adding it into the soup. The rest is potatoes, carrots, parsley and parsnips, leek and onions and rutabaga. And spices of course, and it's not half bad at all. But I guess anything is pretty good when you live around the arctic circle and there's not a whole lot of choice when it comes to native ingredients, owing to the 6 month long winter.

[@Pragabond]

I mean that's the only weird part about it. I think a lot of people use ground beef in soup and I doubt they found that odd but the lack of frying/cooking the beef first is what makes it upsetting and an issue. Maybe its a tradition where you live but I've never found anywhere in the US for example that its unusual at all. Generally beef soup is with ground beef but beef stew is with actual cuts of beef.

[@irannok174]

Traditional soup in Finland and it's verygood when done rigth. Not even close to Kay's tho

[@TnT_F0X]

4:35 Actually meat is treated with a gas to keep it looking pink and not oxidized. The reason it's gray in the middle is... that's what Blood drained meat looks like. The same thing happens if you get two steaks in one package and they're overlapping just a little. You'll get pink-gray spots where the gas didn't treat it. The bright red color we think of as fresh meat is actually the unnatural color, not the gray.

[@RazDaz74]

💯 I'm actually quite surprised @Chef Brian Tsao didn't know this. Carbonmonoxide (opposite of oxygen basically), delays "browning." Almost all red meat in the USA is done this way.

Kay is the worlds greatest avant-garde experimental food artist who offers an existential experience within each bite that no other professional chef could pull off if they wanted to, legally. Making Alphabet Soup without the alphabet, putting ground meat into a pot full of water but putting pasta into an empty one, thats depth. Her art has more layers than the onions she intentionally left out.

[@ItsMeFPS]

I’m a Brit and an Oxo cube is a brand of stock cube. It’s a cube of seasoning that when added to any liquid turns it into a stock of the flavour on its packaging. Gravy granules are similar to what was said, it’s this granulated substance that when heated with hot water thickens into a gravy we pour typically over a Sunday roast, not pasta. It’s a topping.

[@RolandDeschain1]

Yes, usually you dissolve stock cubes in hot water before you add them to the dish. You don't just crumble it over the top of an already thickened put of 'soup' like Kay does.

[@hannahpumpkins4359]

I worked at a grocery store, and the butchers showed me how they used to package the ground beef (and even steaks, etc), and then insert a hose into the package that would vacuum out all the air and fill it instead with carbon monoxide, which turns the outer surface of the beef pink, but underneath it's dark in color. It wasn't that they put 'newer' beef over the older stuff...

[@sashwing7726]

Oxo is meat seasoning or stock, depending on the consistency, and she adds powered gravy. I heard of the recipe normal you brown the ground meat than use a stock followed by vegetables and pasta.

I think you can actually make boiled ground beef work, but you got to sear it first. That's what we do in Mexico with a dish called picadillo. You sear your ground beef first, then add tomato sauce (tomato, onion, garlic and chipotle), you add a bay leaf and some carrots, potatoes and green peas and it's great, specially on top of some tostadas.

[@jayani1023]

I grew up in England, and there are a lot of legit English recipes such as steak pie, that use gravy granules (usually as a substitute for other thickening agents). But not nearly in the volume that Kay is using. For a pot that size, one and a half tablespoons would probably have been more than enough.

You can absolutely use ground beef in a soup. In a traditional finnish ground beef soup you boil the potatoes and veggies first and prepare and season the beef on a pan separately and add it to the soup at the end. It´s really good.

[@TikkyNoSurname]

I think that's also what her son is thinking. Like, for once, I think he might not be used to anything else and it probably took a few years for him to understand just how bad his mother's cooking truly is. Then again, it might just be that normal stuff tastes pretty average or even normal when she makes it, no matter how badly she does it in technique. When her son flees the scene, she's like "Nice? So it's garbage," yet he doubles down on it. I don't know if what he said were his true feelings, but I like to believe he simply wanted his mother to safe face a bit.

[@biffwellington6144]

My mom was a great cook. My stepmom... not so much. She usually served spaghetti when I was visiting my dad. She just sort of tossed everything together in one pot, and then added her secret ingredient... a cup of sugar. The noodles were mushy, there was no moisture left in the sauce, and the beef was flavorless. It was like eating a weirdly sweet spackle with a hint of tomato flavor. My half-brothers sure liked it, though. You know why? Because to them, it was Mom's cooking. It was what they were used to eating. That's probably what's going on with Kay's son. He grew up eating her cooking, and just look at him. He's a pretty big guy. He gets enough to eat. He probably does legitimately like Kay's cooking, because that's his mom. Even if he has eaten better food, he probably still has a soft spot for Mom's cooking. It's what he grew up with.

You can totally start pasta from cold and still get it al dente. The trick is to time it from when the water starts steaming. You can also use less water with that method. It takes a little more attention and stirring, but if you get it right you have just enough water left to reserve for sauce, which means you get to keep more of the starch and salt in that finishing water.

[@realityunleashed108]

When I grew up there was a recipe handed down through my family from the before the 1930's when food was harder to come by and you had to rely heavily on the farms around you. It was a hamburger soup and contained varying kinds of root vegetables, celery, onions and sometimes tomatoes. We used salt, garlic, bay leaf, and pepper to season and down the line of course this changed a bit from person to person. The one solid point was the hamburger. It was easy to get, fast to fry and what it came down to was an onion/beef soup base to ground it all together. It's a really good soup if made right and thickening it the next day was a good way to turn it into leftover stew. It was also very well paired with dumplings , soft buttered buns or biscuits. Look up food of the great depression. You'd be amazed with what food was made in those times and just how many relied on what you had the ability to acquire while impoverished. The way Kay makes it is a little odd, but maybe that's how she learned how. I don't think I've ever seen it done this way with pasta.

[@NymAestrell]

my mothers stew is a ground beef stew and its one of my favourite foods, its not just raw beef thrown into water though its brownd in bigger clumps and then added to a beef stock with diced potatoes, onion, tomatoes, corn, carrots or any other canned good we had at the time like kidney beans and it ends up a bit more like chilli but you know with more veg

I made something similar very often (because that was literally the only thing my mom taught me how to cook!), but it's easy to get a MUCH better result by using the exact same ingredients. First, cook the ground beef in a pan. Boil the carrots. In one pot, cook the pasta. When there's about 3-4 minutes left on those pasta, THEN start the gravy, and NEVER bring at more than a low simmer. The sauce will be ready really quickly. Mix it all up, and you got yourself a quick, easy meal done in about 10 minutes. Not the best health-wise, but it's something.

I boil ground beef with cubed potatoes and half an unchopped yellow onion until tender. Less water though. The idea is to cook out all or most of the water. Because you usually serve these in soft tortillas or hard shell tortillas. Who wants a soggy picadillo taco 👀. But you can leave it a little soupy and put it over some Mexican rice with the taco garnishes. I make different topped enchiladas.

Nah darling, even poor people with skills can do marvels with food. if she has money for carrots she could have bought a single can of tomato soup, cooked the same exact beef in a separate pan before tossing the cooked meat patties or balls into her soup along the pasta. in your case, potatoes can be cooked in different ways, from roasted whole to smashed, sliced, fried, etc. it's one of the most versatile ingredient we have while being rather cheap and fulfilling. A slice of bread with butter and brown sugar, or "the poor's man sandwich" if you prefer, would taste better than her sludge of a soup.

But now I can’t even laugh anymore. I’m starting to think that this is all somehow an act. No one can cook for as long as Kay has and not learn anything, not one damn thing. Viewers will make suggestions about her methods and even her cookware, and she totally ignores them. Now I really think she’s just throwing crap together for the views and the sale of her merchandise. Oh, and by the way, she really does feed that junk to her dog!

[@Edax_Royeaux]

I think the dog died at some point.

[@PaulaG43]

@@Edax_Royeaux I do remember the dog passing away. It was a greyhound, and I have greyhounds. I was sad, but didn’t think she killed the dog with her cooking! It’s horribly unpalatable, but I doubt any of it is toxic! 😊

[@cathoderaytube7497]

That's the same thing commenters say about Jack. I feel sorry for the guy, because I watched a video of his today where he had use of only his left arm. It was sad to see him struggle to flip and rotate chicken using that arm.

Oxo is a stock cube. Usually comes in beef, chicken and vegetable types. Gravy granules is a gravy mix. Basically a quick way of making gravy by adding boiling water, making a typical British brown gravy. Hope this helps

[@mommabird2813]

Watching Kay cut them carrots that way gave me warm memories of my Nan(though my Nan could actually cook) she’d make the best potato salad and she’d hold the cooked potato in her hand like that and managed to get uniformed cuts every time🤷‍♀️if I did that all cuts would be different😂.

[@AadenKDragon]

I'm coming over from watching CinnamonToastKen's playlist of Kay and wanted to mention that I've actually made a quick soup like this. - boiled water with beef and veggie bullion powder - added noodles, wait roughly 5 minutes - added beef, skimming the top often - added veggies (carrots, peas) - added beef gravy roux to thicken (gravy packet, just a bit of water) All in all, took about 30 minutes while waiting for the water to boil and it was good. I didn't have a lot of food at the time but I also needed to eat something because I hadn't eaten for about 2 days previously. Things were going on and I just didn't think about it. Once I made it, I had plenty of extra to section out and reheat as I needed and it lasted about 2 days. I think where Kay goes wrong in her recipes is missing the how to properly cook starches. She once made fried rice and put *uncooked* rice in it. Honestly her recipes aren't too bad but she just misses the finer points to make it good.

Alphabet Beef Soup. There is no Alphabet. There is no Soup. And the Beef looks like alien brain noodles. I think I'll take one of those carrots.

Carrots coming right up! 🥕

[@kakefisk]

Correction - Brian, you are wrong on the color of the beef. The color difference comes from the packaging - they put gas (usually nitrogen) in the pack instead of air to reduce bacterial growth and increase shelf life. This changes the color, temporarily. Ground beef changes color back once exposed to air over time.

[@darwinism8181]

Kay is amazing because she seems so genuinely good natured as she makes some of the most abominable things a kitchen could fear happening in it, she is the Light Side answer to Darth Cooking With Jack. I'd definitely eat her cooking before his; it might be cooked to shit but I'll dodge the salmonella.

[@TheOwneroftheIC]

This isn't even Kay's worst soup recipe.

[@maximilianvonspee9329]

Watching her cook makes me unsure how to feel, on one hand it's funny because it's so bad but on the other if someone working in my kitchen did anything she does I'd literally have an aneurysm 😅

[@xDoomfirex]

Dark center is due to lower oxygen reaching the center. the bright color is a sign of oxidation. the one from the counter is typically older than the packaged beef not counting the chubs.(the tubes)

[@TheDarkLink7]

It takes a whole lot to make me see something and want to throw up. Kay actually accomplished that. Good job Kay.

[@ChefBrianTsao]

you can totally make a kickass soup with ground beef. ive done it. but if your step 1 is "boil the meat" then its not gonna be good. you gotta pre brown in then add it toward the end

@@ChefBrianTsao Any video where she makes a roux is hilarious. Whenever she makes roux she adds such a small amount of liquid at a time that it almost all boils off immediately and she's left with a paste.

Ok so, somebody needs to go rescue K from her cooking. We could have a whole channel about teaching K to cook.

The way she cuts into her hand reminds me of my grandparents. My mum still does it sometimes. Usually a serrated knife too, because her regular knives are blunt as shit. Just such an old school post-war Britain style of cooking where everything is roughly chopped and boiled to death.

[@capybareno23]

the darker color on the inside of the ground beef isn't because of old meat, factories remove can sometimes remove oxygen so the inside doesn't turn red. if you expose it to air for a while you can watch it turn red

[@Callidus9]

OXO cubes are bullion cubes, OXO is just a brand in the UK, if you are interested in the gravy granules, she didn't use it, but the normal UK brand is Bisto.

Oxo is a cube of dehydrated beef stock powder. Gravy granules are a similar thing with thickener

[@charliedavis8894]

I used to own a country diner in the Pacific Northwest. We made all our food from scratch. Wednesdays soup was called Hearty Hamburger and we served big bowls of it with hot homemade mini loaves of bread and butter. It tied with our clam chowder and hot rolls on Fridays as our best selling soups. Hearty Hamburger Soup; Cooked hamburger, chopped in bite size pieces (not strings!) and drained, sauteed mire poix (carrots, celery & onion), cubed potatoes, diced tomatoes with the juice, corn, green beans, tomato paste, garlic, bay leaves, oregano, thyme, enough water to cover. Of course, corn & green beans went in at the end. For other beef soups like Beef Barley or stew, I cut up chuck roast. Cutting carrots or other vegetables in your hand was a common practice in America up until about the 70s. I remember watching my grandma and great grandma cutting everything in their hands. They grew up without chef knives and cutting boards and they'd tell me, "Use the two hands God gave you and a knife to cut with". They used Old Hickory paring and butcher knives. Cutting in your hand or against your thumb makes one very aware of the sharpness of your knife and theirs were always sharp. I don't ever remember them cutting themselves.

What she made is essentially a nasty stew of minced beef in gravy with pasta. I always figured alphabet soup is like minestrone soup, so like a tomato and veg based soup with pasta

[@TheLocomono9]

14:00 she said you can throw in an oxo cube if you want but that’s up to you and doesn’t really matter (she slurs her words a bit so the words blend together. Oxo is a bouillon cube)

[@tomzachariah7811]

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 She's back👍 God Bless Her🙏 Always positive. She also did a breakfast pie dish. Just a couple things- The Mince Beef is the typical packaged stuff you get here in UK supermarkets. The trick is to lift up the packet & look at the bottom. If meat is grey, leave it. I source my meat from an organic supplier. Quality & taste is superior. Gravy granules are a cheat solution to making gravy for Sunday roasts. You dissolve granules in hot water Instant gravy. Bisto is famous UK brand. OXO is famous UK beef stock cube. Been around for ages. Keep on posting. Need the laughs👍
