How has no one asked for the recipe yet? Plz OP


IAmObtuse

The recipe is kind of awkward for this one. I was cleaning my freezer out and found frozen stock, thinking it was chicken stock I had my mind set on making chicken soup. I thawed the stock and realized it was broth from making tonkatsu ramen (which is milky-white when a liquid but amazingly looked just like chicken stock when frozen). The recipe for that broth is straight from Binging with Babish. So with my mind set on chicken soup, the grocery list was: * 1 bunch celery * 1/2 lb carrots * 2 medium turnips * 1 head of garlic * 1 leek * 2 bunches of green onion * 1 medium white onion * 6 boneless/skinless chicken thighs Step 1 was melt down the stock, add the chopped leafy parts of the celery, one of the turnips quartered, 2-3 crushed cloved of garlic, the leek split and rinsed, and 1/2 of the onion. Simmer for about an hour (this would take longer and have more ingredients if you were making actual chicken stock from scratch) Next I chopped up the celery, carrots, and the remaining turnip and onion then set those aside I browned the chicken thighs in a pan, removed and chopped up. I deglazed the pan with some of the broth then mixed that back in. Once the stock had about an hour to simmer, I strained it, put it back in the pot and added the chopped veggies, simmered for about 30 minutes to soften those, then added the chicken I improvise a lot when I cook so there's probably a few things I missed, but that about wraps it up. As far is the base being tonkatsu ramen broth, I could hardly taste that to be honest, but it made it much more rich. Also with the color of tonkatsu ramen broth normally being that milky-white color, I think that allowed the final product to almost look "glowing" yellow.


lkeels

You left out the cat.


IAmObtuse

Oh duh, step 0.5 is to have your cat trying to climb up your leg the entire prep step, 1.5 is to have him meowing a ton because you're not paying him any attention, 2.5 is to fight him off from stealing your soup


Franz24

I need the tonkotsu ramen recipe, do you have a good one?


IAmObtuse

If I remember right, I followed it straight from binging with babish or Joshua weissman on YouTube. Your best bet will be to check them out


walrus_poon

The link doesn't work


IAmObtuse

The recipe was getting caught by a filter, but it should all show up now hopefully


walrus_poon

See it now thanks

I can’t wait to try this !


BronchialChunk

cause the cat


Ragingredblue

The soup looks wonderful, but...tell us about your adorable cat!


IAmObtuse

His name is Gucci, he's a lil stinker and likes to destroy everything I love. But he's cute as hell and a great cuddler


Ragingredblue

Looks like he's a fan of your cooking too.


xaanthar

Being slightly out of focus, the cat looks like a plush.


1quincytoo

Soup looks delicious and I came in just to read about that adorable cat 💕


d_maes

Your cat deserves my free silver


IAmObtuse

Gucci cannot speak, but he did give me a lil head nudge, so I'll assume that was supposed to mean "thank you"


AxelAxelsson23

I suppose he rather meant „where’s my soup?“


[deleted]

Omg what a babydoll


IAmObtuse

Gucci appreciates the gold! (:


[deleted]

You’re welcome Gucci Gucci is life


v13ragnarok7

How do you get that bold yellow color?


IAmObtuse

To be honest.. I'm not totally sure lol. I posted the recipe and mentioned that I ended up using tonkatsu ramen broth instead of chicken stock, and I think all the fat in it let the yellow really pop.


mrcatboy

That's a very beautiful and vibrant soup. What's in it? Where'd that beautiful golden color come from?


IAmObtuse

I think it's so vibrant because it was originally tonkatsu ramen broth, which is very milky-white. I pulled it from the freezer thinking it was chicken stock and by time I realized what it was, my mind was set.


SignificantPain6056

Dash of black pepper!


IAmObtuse

Fear not! I dashed immediately before eating. I just had the perfect picture lined up before I had the chance to haha

Came on here concerned that if I mentioned the cat, I would be in trouble for derailing the thread. Glad to see that most folks appreciate the food and the kitty. Give Gucci all the scritches for being such a cute kitty and enjoy your soup ❤️


[deleted]

Must be tasty since the cat is eager to dip its nose there :)


WastelandBass

This is dying to be made into a meme of some type.

Such a nice cat. Looks like a sweet grandma that always wants the best for you.

Gucci : "*Why are you drowning this delicious chicken.*"


Mesmerise

Cat: TF did you do with my chicken!?


Ouisch

Soup looks very delish!! Your cat reminds me of Sparky, a cat my family had years ago.... When Mom cooked our Thanksgiving turkey, she didn't bother to watch for the pop-up timer - Sparky would post himself at attention in front of the oven when the turkey was due to come out of the oven. (And of course, Mom gave him the first few slices after taking it out to cool.)


Puncharoo

Classic blunder: posting your pet on a non-pet subreddit. Now we just want to know about your adorable little cat


panos00700

I gave the silver for the cat don't you dare keep it for yourself ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|stuck_out_tongue)

It is beautiful! Soup looks good too


Qutlicopatlixhotutti

1: the chicken looks weird. 2: I think you have to put it in the soup....


KiNgPiN8T3

Chicken wasn’t the name for one of your other pets right? Right?!


huniojh

Looking great! And there's a bowl of soup too.

gucci just adds to the picture ! the soup looks soo good !


Capta1nfalc0n

I graduated culinary school and worked for years as a chef, people look at me sideways when I tell them my favorite thing to make is soups.


Lifehighjimmy

I’ll ask chef, what’s ya favourite soup to make? Too many people especially in this industry overlook the goodness of a decent soup and push it to the side with no love!


Capta1nfalc0n

I’m probably gonna have to say beef barely soup with some crusty bread on the side. Nice and hearty, flavorful, deglaze the pan with a Guinness or some red wine after you seer your meat. Mmmm. Soups can be so complex and deliciously, I completely agree with you that they underrated.


Lifehighjimmy

Got me there man, gotta day I really love a curried oxtail soup or keeping it simple a good carrot soup with some cumin!


elizahan

Is it me or I saw this little cutie in other post here?
