Recipe based on this from @bakedbymelissa on TT

Heat up some neutral oil to to sear 4 boneless chicken thighs
Make sure your oil is hot before you put them in or they will stick
And by hot I mean no more than a 5 on your dial, just make sure it’s heated up for a few minutes
Sear each side 5-7 minutes until they’re brown and remove
Chop up your leek or two leeks for extra leekage
Chop up some amount of carrots
Chop up some amount of celery
Chop up a whole bulb of garlic
Try not to feel bad about how mad your hands are at you
Chop up a chunk or ginger or shred it while disregarding how your hands feel
Add all those veggies to the pot and make a hot salad for a few minutes. Add a bit more oil also
Add 4 cups of broth (I use broth concentrate and just add more water as needed)
Feel free to over water it so it cooks down if it's not soupy enough for everything to submerge at first
Start with 2 teaspoons of salt and add more as needed once you taste the whole concoction
I keep forgetting to salt the chicken before searing but it wont’t matter since it’s
All getting infused when we put it back in so salt the chicken before, after, no one is ever gonna notice and if they say they can they haven't double blind tested it
Get the chicken back in so the broth is boiling it for at least another twenty minute or more until it’s cooked through
While that chicken is in there add:
1 tablespoon or so of cumin, the greatest spice of all time
1 tablespoon of turmeric, the spice that can heal literally anything except when it doesn't
Some pepper pepper pepper
Remove the chicken and shred it with two forks
Now that your hands have forgiven you, give them something else to be mad about and micro chop two potatoes
Add one can of vegan lard
By the time the potatoes are cooked it's probably done
But check for WABS and adjust the salt
If you're not sure about adding more salt, put aside a small bowl and sprinkle in some salt and wangjangle it. You should be able to tell from comparing if it tastes more full, or too salty
If you added too much salt, fake your death
If you didn't add too much salt, bask in the adulation and praise that is coming your way - Навчання та стиль
Why is cumin the best spice? I think it's because of how it tastes.
That makes sense
Cumin on top
I think it's because it can be used in puns
This is intentional this has to be intentional there is no way you didn't make a huge mischievous grin after posting this comment
Stones are the best
The toast falling off of the book cover was immaculately edited
So… it wasn’t real??? 😳
@@ellengrace4609 4:47 he told us it was in a simulation.
@@Merennulli Right. I was trying to be funny. 😂🤷♀️
@@ellengrace4609I was too. It was a joke about simulation theory (where all of reality is a simulation).
@@Merennulli Well we’re batting a thousand today! 😂
This was MY secret recipe!
You leeked it!
funny pun
😂😂😂
My favorite part of making butternut bisque is always the chance to say, "Take a leek."
Nice
Go stand in the corner
You nailed your style from day one and have maintained it unfailingly for a full decade.
Omg has it been a decade already 😱
His videos are fairly different from when they first started. They're far more cheerful and less profanity laced.
@@Zwickerly2also missing the various narrative elements that added an incredible layer which i miss a ton. also the unique music/songs were incredible.
his videos are still auto-watch, but i'm no longer desperately waiting for the next one, lol
PIMBLOKTUUUUUUUUUUU (to? time to go rewatch the first 100 again)
As someone who watched YSAC from episode 2, I could not disagree more. This channel has changed considerably, and pretty much all for the better.
I love that YSAC is never afraid to be real with the garlic
Always squash it. U get more flavor and is better for u. The 😊peel comes off too.
The Fork brushing the leek hair fucking killed me
“Shhh”
Lovely Leek Lady
me too! 🤣
Fork? That's a dinglehopper!
If you are having a dinner party and added too much salt to the soup, it would only be because they cried in their bowl at how delicious the soup is.

Wet and hot is my favorite way to eat a salad
Wet and hot is my favourite everything.😋
Are you saying you like to eat wet, hot salad or that you like to be wet and hot when eating a salad?
*WAP slowly fades in*
@@jamesmetzler2031 that's none of your business
wet hot american salad
I legitimately often forget that medium is hot if you wait long enough.
I'm so impressed with how this channel has become a legitimate source of quality recipes. I made this soup last night and it was an absolute banger. Next time, I'm going to double the coconut milk and add some cardamom because I want to, but not because I have to.
Does the vegan lard he uses even taste like coconut or is it like the oil, neutral in flavor. I ask because I'm unsure if it's even supposed to taste of coconut and because I'm making this tonight.
@@sim-unation The vegan lard, aka coconut milk, tastes quite a bit like coconut. I also find that coconut oil tastes like coconut. The oil used in this recipe is not coconut oil but instead is "neutral oil", which is something like vegetable oil or avocado oil, and which therefore does not taste like coconut.
@@AugustDwight Yeah, I picked up the oil and milk. Ended up using the milk instead, didn't regret it.
I felt so bad for the knife... it had done such a good job!
I know. Poor baby. 😢
No he gets it. Sometimes it’s just too much and nothing personal 🤷♂️
My roommate: What are you watching?
Me: A cooking show.
My roommate 30 seconds later: This doesn't sound like a cooking show.
Me: Yep.
I do suck at cooking. So I’ve been watching these videos. Thank you.
1:27 WHY IS THAT BOWL MAGNETIC??????
He made it in last episode more modified Ramen. I found it just now, lol
When the magnet bowl showed up for like 2 seconds at 1:26 I had the biggest smile on my face. I actually find it even more funny when it wasn't even mentioned, just there for us... Always so positive...
I love the reoccurring jokes :)
When I was 3, I was offered a dish with turmeric in it. But I didn't eat it. However the turmeric was so powerful is healed my childhood cancer despite me never giving it a chance. Thanks turmeric❤
what
@@stormcloudsaboundTumeric is truly amazing isn’t it
Tip for too much salt in your soups/sauces. Add a raw potato and leave it until it's cooked. The potato will soak up the salt. Discard the potato after, or make a mash or something with it later.
Damn, for real? It never occurred to me to try and utilise osmosis like that lol. Thanks for the hot tip!
This channel is catharsis for perfectionist cooks
So I’m at the library the other day (who even goes to libraries anymore?) anyway, it was for some event my kid had to be at. So I’m browsing the books in the cooking section. And I see this book called “You Suck at Cooking.” I feel this book call my name. Weird. I end up bringing this home to read and the humor and writing style is good for my soul. Then to find out there is a UA-cam channel and the videos are just as good!? Oh man. Double win. 🥇 New subscriber here. Now time to binge watch the crap out of your content. Thank you for putting out that book that found its way into a small local library in San Antonio, where people around here say “Remember the Alamo.” 😂 🍻
My leeks usually oppose the dinglehopper stroke, but yours seems particularly soothed!
As I keep experimenting in the kitchen over the years I find myself substituting onions for leek more often. It's a decent choice for almost anything.
So you use onions instead of leeks? Just saying..I think you may have reversed your wording ;)
@@deprofundis3293 English aint my first language so that's likely, what I've meant is the reverse of course, I'm using leek more often than not.
Are leeks like giant green onions?
Started to make this and realised I didn't have any ginger, decided to improvise with a couple tablespoons of Thai green curry paste instead and it's also delicious.
01:15 if he used a Miku wig, would have been perfect
3:32 He sent his knife off, crying. You, sir, are the one who sucks today.
First Pimblokto, now the knife…YSAC is the true villain here.
I actually cooked this today after watching this video, and it turned out amazing!
Highly recommend.
Impressive. Very nice.. Let's see Paul Allen's "SO if you put a bunch of different ingredients into some broth and cook it with some spices and some salt that's what's UP"
I remember how I had no wifi at a winter holiday once on vacation and i saved a bunch of his videos to watch and use as a sleep aid also. It still reminds me of that place. I‘m so glad he‘s still doing it now!
The soup looks appetizing and delicious. The broth looks flavourful. Thank you so much for sharing the recipe.Have a nice weekend🤩👏👏🙏
That toast looks totally amazingly incredibld in thr opening shot
2:58 that's actually a folk etymology. people used to greet each other with 'soup?' to make friends because everyone loves soup. that eventually diverged into 'sup?' as a greeting and 'soup' as the food
Perfect time for this to come out. I've been on a soup making journey and have been enjoying every minute of the ride. Can wait to make this part of the journey
If you like garlic, look up the lemon garlic recipe from Jenny Bolle. It’s a YT short, I think it was about 5 shorts ago on her channel. I made it last weekend and it was so easy and delicious!
@@ellengrace4609 thanks! It looks great so I'm adding it to the list of soups!
@@Dil_pickles You’re welcome! Hope you like it!
I rewatched all of your videos over the past 2 weeks! I did it!
I tried it and loved it. Great recipe, thank you !!
Can't wait to try this one. Thanks YSAC. My family loves your pumpkin pie from a ways back. I always make it during the holidays.
Even tho I read it three times, there actually WAS no puns or word play! WTH man!?!
This video is "stewpid."
I love it. One of the funnier ones. ❤
This is definitely being added to my cold weather recipes. 🎉
I loved the clip where you threw the chicken shreds back in! It was my favorite part!
Going to make this soup this weekend!!
I love that I knew there was going to be one more thing to chop.
Missed your videos man!
Finally someone else who understands that vegetable stock is the best stock.
“Big leaky pile” was my nickname in college
Looks awesome, must try👊
Made this for dinner tonight and it was AWESOME!
I added lemon juice and it was delicious. Thx for the recipe! Keep it coming🙃
I laughed so hard at the ending. Good stuff. Really want to try the soup too. Huge fan YSAC. Thank you for your content 😊 You are one of my kitchen inspirations!
Yay for stoups!
Mum used to make many of them for us kids when I was younger. Much younger.
Am making this on the weekend for me and my coworkers on Monday
You’re hilarious and informative which I love
tried it tonight, delicious
Ok, I really need some of this stoup right now. And I want that Chicken Soup book too. 😂
I really thought it was real 😭... but now I know the title isn't taken....
@@rlynn6658 yeah, I looked it up because I wanted it. I was disappointed.
My mom has done a very similar chicken curry for many years, on stoup scale it's just a bit above stew, and she usually serves it with rice. Very good
Made this today and added some lime juice and dried chili too - went hard as hell, strong recommend on this tactic
I made this meal, and it wad delish! I'm going to make it again this week!
It seems I haven't watched your videos for too long, your style grew up! 😮
2:06 when he said good job it made me think of Pimblokto and his catchphrase "good job everybody," now I'm sad😢
The cumin and turmeric combo is the default answer when I ask my mom what spices she used. So good job, I'm proud of you
Thank you
"vegan lard from the coconut tree" STOp PLAYING WITH ME
"chicken soup for the existentially rattled" threw me so off guard, used to read that religiously
I made this, and aside from needing just a touch of lemon juice and sugar to even out the flavor, it was amazingly comforting and delicious.
I highly recommend this souperfood
If you thought I was going to post something about how great Pimblokto's soup making skills were, you'd be wrong.
This was a very nice one
The reason for the temperature difference is that your using an electric burner instead of a gas one. When people talk about temperature their usually talking about a gas stove and almost every recipe is for a gas stove. I use electric too and every single recipe I find calls for the heat to be way too high, yet I literally watch them use a gas range and cook it perfectly at the temp they said to. And it's every electric stove I've ever used which is quite a few of them. At least you've figured out that 4 is the equivalent. It took me for ever to figure it out myself, but I eventually got there too.
I find 3 1/2 is perfect for salmon. Super simple too. Salmon at room temp for about 20 mins (in case anyone doesn't already know to do that), cover in oil, the add salt and immediately cook it flesh side down and watch it. Once the fish is about 75% cooked up from the bottom (the part touching the pan, not the tail end to be clear just in case you're cooking a fillet) toward the top then you flip it and let it finish cooking until it looks completely cooked from the bottom up. It takes about 5 mins for really thick salmon, less for thinner. Perfect every time after you get the hang of it. It's really just learning what 75% cooked looks like and not missing the moment it gets there. I use a non stick pan and I would suggest using the same, but you might be able to get away with using a well seasoned cast iron.
Love that blue salt.
Just bought your book. Haven't read it yet as it is on a truck in Chicago, but I hope it doesn't suck.
The jingle remains 😌 thank god
Da king is back baby he neva miss
Could you smash a leek into multiple green onions (gronions)?
The break down of the meaning of soup is crazy
Oh my gosh u r so funny. I absolutely love love y video. I am glad I found u .😂😂
Great video.
This recipe was so good I paused the video right when it ended and missed all the jokes and probably a song at the end.
The 'potato trick' to absorb too much salt REALLY works.
I’ve tried and never succeeded. Do you do it with like already cooked meal?
@@divinenonbinary nah, you need to cook the potatoes in it so they absorb the salt.
The magnetic bowl was very funny
made this tonight and it was good as hell
While I've got great neighbors, if you were another one, I'd call occasionally just to see if I could come over while you were wangjangling. You are da chef!
Yummy
This is actually pretty close to an old Scottish soup called cock-a-leekie soup: just replace the potatoes with barley, take out the garlic, coconut milk, cumin and turmeric, and add some chopped prunes before serving.
Love it ...
Not gonna lie, that looks absolutely delicious.
Ok, this look cool
I have the same stove. Can confirm that 4-5 is "medium high" and anything above that is "silly hot."
Souper susceptible, you're a genius
I've been sick for a week, and damn I needed this ❤
Hope you feel better
@@yousuckatcooking well now I certainly do! thank you!
3:50 I can forgive YSAC misrepresenting coconut cream as lard. It was worth the chance to summon Dylan Hollis.
You cook book it on my wishlist sadly none of my friends or relative so will have to buy myself pouts lol
If you oversalt your soup, you can add a raw peeled potato, let it cook for a bit, then remove the potato. The potato will draw out some of the salinity
So, as we speak, my vegetables are with the broth and the chicken reducing a little before I remove the chicken for shredding (at which point I'll also add the coconut cream).
This is the first of your recipes I've actually decided to make immediately after watching the video 😅
Followup: this is now the best soup (by far) that I've ever made! It's godamned delicious.
Thanks to you, I suck slightly less at cooking 😄
I didn't think I'd miss the songs, but I do.
I miss the do romps.
Thanks dude :)
Someone please remind me to make this tomorrow, thanks in advance.
