Hey gang! For those who are wondering: Soup Season will soon be coming to a close. We have one more for you guys coming in a few weeks, but then we're ready to finish this first season. Take a guess which country the last soup is from. Hint: The name of the country is hidden inside this comment.
Perhaps a finish soup?
Finland
Petition for spring soup season!
Finland!
Oh noes, I loved the series.
This series of soups is something that I wasn't expecting to like THAT much, but now everytime I'm waiting for it, nice work!
YES
Same.
Ikr, I get super excited every time I see an upload.
My wife just said "He's a bad man. He makes me hungry each time you watch his videos~" and is sulking because we can't get the ingredients for this until tomorrow. Thanks for the inspiration! :P
This actually explains something that was baffling me for a long time. I lived in China for a while and tried the hot and sour soup quite a bit. It wasn't bad but it never measured up to the "Asian restaurant in the mall's food court ran by Vietnamese migrants in the middle of Europe" version. Now I kinda understand why lol
09:33 'This is gotta be the one of the best soups in the world' said Andong in every of his soup season videos 😂
Hey Andong can you do a hong kong style russian borscht for the next soup. I basically grew up with it and it has some interesting history
This sounds really interesting.
I found that my hot & sour soup would always turn watery once ladled into a bowl. Turns out, most starches can't handle acidity. So normally you would add the starch slurry and then as last ingredient the white pepper and vinegar and ladle it out. The vinegar breaks the starch bonds which is why it's suddenly watery again. Arrowroot and Tapioca starch do not have the acidity penalty, so my soup now stays nice and silky even with the vinegar added. Edit: I use arrowroot unless you don't mind the sheen that Tapioca adds.
If you look up Souped Up Recipes and check out her hot and sour soup recipe. She specifies when ingredients go into the mix and specifies that the vinegar and white pepper go in last.
@@westernrider100 Yes, I've seen her video. I don't cook by exact measurements, I just eye-ball it according to taste. My point was that a lot of common starches are not acidity stable. So if your soup is nice and velvety from corn starch, once you pour in the vinegar and white pepper, the vinegar will break the starch bonds and your soup is as watery as it was before adding starch. Of course this depends on how much starch and how much vinegar you added. Less vinegar or more starch will keep the soup with a nice thick mouth feel. My amounts of starch/vinegar tend to negate each other. I posted this for people having the same problem and the solution is to use a different starch like arrowroot (kinda expensive) or tapioca which is cheap but produces a eerie shine and the soup kinda looks like chunky tapioca pudding. Still, both these starches are acid stable, so you can add the desired amount of vinegar without having to fear that your soup ends up watery.
great tip!!
For everyone in Germany who wants to substitute the meat, use the 'sensational burger' from the brand 'garden gourmet'. The tecture and umami flavour are perfect for soups! Just rip it into small pieces and fry it in a pan before using it in the soup. Don't use the vegetarian ground 'meat' for this purpuse, the taste and tecture are different. Enjoy!
there's vegetarians in other parts of the world too you know 😂
i'd prbly just get a beyond burger or something
Except it is from Nestlé...
@@ElliryannaLailoken
booooo Nestle....... prbly still more ethical than buying actual animal meat tho... by just a little bit ;D
@@Broockle it depends on what you prefer, human right violation or animal right violation
@@nguyenchau2765
the animal meat is kinda connected to plenty of both. So.... I think supporting Nestle with Veggie meat might be the lesser of 2 evils.
Tho it's usually possible to support a different business.
Until your channel, I never knew there was a Soup Season.
Now I want soup.
This has massive Dad energy in all of the right ways. The absolute absurdity of filming the eating of the soup in a public park in that hat is off the charts, but it fits so well in the aesthetic that I can't complain. I hope that when I have kids, I can convey at least half of the Dad energy that this video exhibits. This is, in no way, a complaint. In fact, just the opposite. I love the nonchalance of the consumption of the soup in all of these Soup Season videos. I aspire to the level of insouciance and passion in these videos. Much love from the (American) midwest, Andong. I can't believe how much you remind me of my father.
Watching him eat - food porn!!
Andong! PLEASE! Make a video about "ČESNEČKA" - its a Czech garlicy\cheesy soup and its delicious! A specially in the cold days!
Обожаю твои видео, у тебя самые интересные, познавательные, смешные и самое главное вкусные видео которые каждый раз вдохновляют меня на готовку таких крутых блюд, спасибо!
sounds delicious :D
I'm really enjoying the history breakdown on this dish! 🤩
Andong, hot spicy oil into your eating bowl makes for incredible mouthfeel and heat in this dish. Love the lip burn and endorphin rush it delivers. Great recipe and thank you!
Currently binging on your Sichuan spätzle while watching this 🤤
How was it!? I've been considering making it but haven't gotten the chance yet.
Hey Andong! Thank you for these series (and in general). I was inspired by your work and currently eating different soups for a few weeks (despite being a non-believer prior to that). Actually, I've been making a soup right when you've published this video!
Your commitment is deeply appreciated. I love going on a journey with soup, because it feels a lot simpler than a lot of other fancy cooking and there's something really nurturing and normalizing about it that matters so much in this pandemic. This is the second of these I'm making now and I'm working my way through all of them. It's everything I need right now.
It's still winter! Don't end yet!! Give us another month - we need this to keep warm and cozy!
I'm so excited to try this
Thank you so much I was really hoping that you made this. I will be making this this weekend for sure
Everyone need to try this at least once, this IS the best soup in the world.
This is an amazing series, Andong! I’m already looking forward to Soup season 2.
This soup looks like I'm going to try it next week!
This gives me soup cravings!
OMG, great series! For so long, "soups" have been my favorite food and I'm totally making this. Greetings from Mexico!
I love how SUPER aggressively you set up your outside table
Outstanding recipe & story!
I came from Nanjing, but I only tried 1 or 2 times of this soup before I came to America LOL. It seems that hot and sour soup is much more popular in America than in my hometown.
it's super popular in Hungary as well!
I love your creativity in your videos and alternative ingredients
Hey Andong! Great video as always! I love your whole channel and I look forward to your videos every time. I was wondering since you live in Berlin, have you ever thought about making a cooking video with Lefloid?
Yes! I will DO IT!
Well done Good Sir, well done. As a Polish bloke I'm a huge soup aficionado (living in UK where sadly soups are criminally underrated). Hot'n'Sour is up there in my Top10 and you've pulled a proper one ✌️
Came for the Chinese Cooking Demystified reference. Was not disappointed.
Great episode as always! For the 2nd season of soup season me and my girlfriend would love to see you make the vietnamese soup Pho Bo! Thank you for making us hungry every now and then!
Hot & Sour Soup is my go-to takeaway order! Love it!
I always LOVE IT when I find a recipe without garlic.
Looks delicious, Andong!
Compliments to the chef
I make this with Great wall Black vinegar. It has such a unique flavour! My meat of choice is a mix of chopped up beef and shrimps. I also add chili/garlic paste, bamboo, green peas, shiitake and of course egg. Before adding the egg, I always turn of the heat COMPLETELY until the soup stops bubbling. Drop the egg in the soup and let it be for 40 seconds, THEN stir SUUUPER GENTLY. That way the egg looks more silky clean in the soup and doesn't "cloud" the soup as much. My FAVORITE soup of all time! Great pick for your soup series!
Man, this is my first comment on your posts and to be honest this is the best me and my wife (Malaysian) found so far :) i really love the humour and the fact that you do your very best to suit all type of cuisine. I would really love to meet you once we get a chance to visit Berlin. Understood you are a celebrity and time is scarce. In any case keep up the awesome content. And by the way i hated that dish in Asia but i will try yours ^^
Thank you so much. I made this. It was very good. Thank you
Hot and Sour Soup is my all time favorite. This looks 🤤!
Thank you Andong!💜
i really must say i love your soupseason
Thank you SO much for sharing the recipe. I was always intimidated by Chinese inspired cuisine but this is really easy and super delicious!
I will now definitely try your other soup recipes!
damn that 4:02 deglaze soundeffect was really smooth. well played.
I love the addition of the lentils. Great source of fibre and it makes it possible to stretch the budget for those wanting some meat in their dishes but needing to feed a large family. I hope there is a Soup Season 2. You’re welcome to film on location in Canada in the future ;) You’ll definitely have snow on the ground and a nip in the air in most of the country.
Man, I don't have have any Chinese restaurants that serve "real" Asian food around me (all too Americanized), but I'm definitely gonna order some pho after this as a substitute. You know a food video is good when it makes you crave something! Awesome job!
PS: I love, love, love soup and my bf and friends always tease me about it, so this series is giving me validation lol. Not to mention cooking inspiration
Yo, lentils soaking up meat juices is an excellent shout. That never occurred to me, and I use both regularly! Thanks!
never had this but looks delicious
I love this contents
Y'know, if he plans to do more next year, I'd love to see Andong tackle rosół or żurek
Pickle soup!
Quick tip - if you thicken with potato starch the soup texture/thickness doesn't change - the vinegar 'kills' the corn starch as a thickener, so the soup gets thin, meaning you use more corn starch to start with and the tail chasing never ends!
It is a cold day in New York City and this soup looks like it would warm me right up. 😋😋
For next season some Bulgarian soups would be awesome. We have nice ones like "Shkembe", "Beans Soup", "Lentils Soup", etc.
It's still cold in Scotland so the soup season and this video has been appreciated
Here in Canada we only have 2 seasons... Winter (soup time) and Construction.🤗
i was waiting for this!!! grüsse aus der schweiz :)
Yet again. You dazzle me with your delivery.
Hot and sour soup is epic, the egg makes it. 👌
I made the one from Chinese Cooking Demystified and I'll also try this one. I think I'll like this one more, but I might add some of those sweet potato noodles that I've still lying around from the other soup.
Best series , thanks dear from Canada 🇨🇦✌🙏
Yessir I'm taiwanese and I love this soup! Been drinking it since a child
Please--more soups!
finally good recept for hot and sour soup !
sweet lord, you are such a great person.
Love it
I'm sad to see Soup Season come to a close, but I'd love to you continue with more seasonal and season-friendly dishes from around the world!
I want to eat this *now*!
A half Wuxi kid (father side) is enjoying watching this sour-spicy soup tutorial made by a German. 😋
I add sriracha to my hot and sour soup along with dried red chili. I also add sichuan peppercorn to give it a slight sichuan kick.
A lot of "Chinese" dishes popular in the West are of Taiwanese origin. General Tso's chicken, for one. Mongolian BBQ is of Taiwanese origin.
Here in Taiwan, or China for the Timid as I like to call it, the Hot and Sour soup is chiefly available at the Guotie places. Although, Knorr makes a soup packet for it and you can buy a vegetarian version in a can. Most places add coagulated blood to it, too. If you cannot find black vinegar, you can use Worcestershire sauce in a pinch.
I would say that Hot and Sour soup is the comfort soup of Taiwan in the same way that Tomato soup or Lonac is for me or whatever soup lifts your mood.
tfw watch soup season episode while eating homemade chili.
the recipe has actually been in my family for a few generations, I'd love to see a chili episode for this season since that's what we like in winter to stay warm.
I live in Chile, now we are in summer. But in june in the winter I am going to make this soup.
Hi Andong, I've been loving soup season. Growing up we would get a bag of assorted vegetables so would often make soups with the excess but it's fascinating seeing soups from round the world. A soup I only discovered a few years ago but now adore is Cullen Skink. This is a traditional scottish smoked haddock soup similar to a chowder and is my go to soup on a cold wintery day. (Though personally I use smoked mackerel rather than haddock but that's personal preference)
soooooooooooooooo good, soooooooooo good......Thanks
You deserve more subs :)
Andong inspired me. Also, I watched this while hungry. I made a version of this soup today, using only stuff I already had in the kitchen, and really needed to use up before they went bad. It's not strictly "hot and sour", it's more my own nondenominational "dumpitallin" meal. I subbed tempeh for tofu (bad idea, texture-wise), morel for wood ear (neutral), water chestnut for bamboo shoot (neutral), instant ginger drink mix for fresh ginger (and did not add any other sugar, and yeah, use fresh ginger), lupin beans for lentils (too time consuming to shuck them, but they hold their chew), strawberry vinegar, and tapioca flour. I did use beef, but if I had no meat at all, I'd probably add extra mushrooms, like lions mane or chanterelle. Something very meaty tasting without being a processed food. There is so much going on in this soup you can play around with flavours, but texture and mouth feel are very important.
I will make this soup
thanks for the vegi version tip you added
I learnt something for my next video recipe! 😜
Finally a soup I can eat!!! (I have Crohn’s and can’t have things like dairy, legumes, or lentils, and this is the first one that isn’t based around those ingredients) I’m so excited to try this 🥰
Wait this recipe does require lentils 🤔
@@TheNickness just use pure meat instead of meat + lentils
@@TheNickness yes, but it is not based around the lentils. 4/5 of the other soups, that was the base component. Here, it is easily removed without changing the dish's identity.
@@IamTheMozartMaster I get it, just wanted to make sure you're gonna be okay lol
Ummm--lentils in this soup.
Oh, yeah! Another soup. video! Not perfect for Slav taste, but will totally try it!
I use the mushroom, woodear rehydrating liquid and beef broth instead of water for the broth. Try Sichuan peppercorns along the other peppers.
Interesting to be cooking in a glass bowl :) nice video as always... keep them coming :)
I really hope you can cover a special kind of hot pot that is unique in my hometown. Its name is “豆米火锅”. The hotpot features a thick bean soup as the base of the pot. The best part is this kind of hotpot can be easily made with ingredients from normal supermarket and Asian supermarket. I made the hotpot last Thanksgiving in the US and me and my roommate had a great time eating it.
about chinese vinegar: chinkiang(zhenjiang) is a town name, and famours for making vinegar，they are now is considered as a brand name for good vinegar, they have nomal one and also a matured one
Can you please make a video about Georgian Kharcho? Delicious thick spicy-sour beef, tomato and rice soup. Georgian food is the best in the former Soviet Union
Recipe looks great! Id recommend diced bird's eye chile's for heat - never siracha - it would overpower all that great soup flavor you put so much work into :)
It's looks so thick beautiful looking and comforting soup i' ve ever seen
yum!
All those people commenting that it's not a cold winter day where they are. Well, it's -18°C here today, and I appreciate a nice hot soup recipe! :)
I remember really not liking this soup when I was in Taiwan. Perhabs I should try it again.
Andong you really need to try the fosforera it is going to blow your mind and try it with a hint of lime juice
I hope you do an episode on miso soup!
Super nice background when you sit outside! I know exactly where it is ;)
Look what you made me do; I'll have to embark on a journey to find Chinese vinegar and bamboo shoots in CHILE. And I don't even live in a culturally diverse city that has an Asian supermarket or something like that. But darn, that soup looks so good that I'll have to try.
Andong. You are really amazing and inspiring. I grew up with Lon Men Restaurant. What about Morel and Glas noodles? I have to check it out 🎉
aw man, i just ate lol, and your gonna make me eat again ;-)
I love your "great outdoors locations" in Moabit - my old hood! :D
Great video. I've got one thing to add, Taiwan like much of their culture, they brought the soup over from Fujian.
Okay okay i will do it
Made this soup straight away last weekend... is was lovely! I'm not too keen on the lentils, I don't think they go well with Chinese cooking. Skipped the MSG. And I put in some garlic for extra umami and sliced red pepper for extra colour.
When I was a student there was a cheap Chinese food stall next door and I ate a lot of Beijing soup for 2,50 DM a bowl there. This soup reminds me... only much better. Thanks for the inspiration Andong!
