Soup inspired by food in Studio Ghibli films part 97.
I juuuust want to eat every food they’ve ever animated, particularly the soup.
•
Melt 2tbsp butter in a large soup pot. Dice and cook 1 chicken breast until cooked through and a bit brown. Remove and set aside.
Dice a sweet onion, three carrots, two cups-ish red potatoes.
Melt 2tbsp butter in the same pot used to cook the chicken, add diced onion, carrots, potato and cook on medium heat for 5-7 minutes.
Add 4 cloves minced garlic, cook 2 minutes.
Add 1 tsp each dry sage, oregano, basil, 3 bay leaves, 1tbsp fresh rosemary (rosemary is optional, do not substitute dry rosemary). Salt and pepper to taste, you can adjust s&p at the end.
Add 1 can corn, 1 can green beans, 1 cup cauliflower chopped into tiny florets, stir.
Add 5 cups chicken broth, bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer/low boil type situation, cover and cook for 20 minutes.
Turn heat to low and wait for it to stop boiling completely then add 1 26oz can cream of mushroom and ¾ cup milk.
Put the cooked chicken back in and cook on low for five minutes.
Since it is Ghibli Gourmet month, I wanted to share this recipe for a soup that looks just like the one Arrietty and her family eats in The secret world of Arrietty!
When I rewatched Arrietty a couple of days ago and saw this soup, I thought that it looked just like a traditional Swedish vegetable soup. So I thought I could share the recipe. ^^
In my family we call it summer soup since you eat it in summer when there are fresh vegetables.
Recipe for 5 persons, cooking time 30 mins
Ingredients: 3-4 Carrots depending on size
½ Cauliflower
1 Broccoli
1 Small Leek
2 dl Fresh or frozen Green peas
8-10 dl Water
2 tbsp Flour
5 dl Milk
1 tsp Salt
1 dl Parsley
Black pepper
Start by washing all the vegetables. Cut the carrots in coin big pieces and slice the leek into thin slices.
Then break the broccoli and cauliflower in bite size bouquets.
When you are done with cutting all the vegetables heat up some butter in a pan. When the butter has melted, add in the leek and fry until the leek has softened. It should not get any color, just a little bit translucent.
Then start with adding 8 dl water and 1 tsp salt to the pot with leek. Bring the water to a boil. When it´s boiling add the broccoli and cauliflower. Add more water if needed, the water should just cover the vegetables.
Bring it to the boil again and then let it boil for about 1 min. Then add the carrots and boil for 3-5 minutes or until all the vegetables are barely soft. While it is boiling, put a strainer over a bowl. You need it to keep the water after straining the vegetables.
To check if the vegetables are done, stick something threw them and taste them.
Drain the vegetables over the bowl.
After draining the vegetables put them aside and put the water back into the pot.
Now it is time for the flour. With a whisk, whisk together 2 tbsp flour and about 3 tbsp milk in a bowl. This is the roux that will make the soup a little bit thicker.
Add the rest of the milk to the pot with water and let it come to a boil. When its boiling add the roux (flour and milk mixture) while whisking. When it´s all combined, add the vegetables and the green peas. Let it boil and add black pepper and salt to taste.
Cut the parsley, save some bigger bits for decoration and the soup from Arrietty is done!
I totally forgot about the parsley ~_~; .But it really improves the taste a lot, so don´t forget it!
Here is the final product!
I should have skipped the leek just for the looks and add the parsley but otherwise I think it turned out really well. ^^
As you see I use dl (deciliters) and not cups for measuring. 1 cup is about 2,25 dl.
This is probably my favorite soup so I hope you try it and enjoy it too.
In this post, I list 7 of my all-time favorite apps / chrome extensions that I use daily. I hope I can help out some fellow uni students who are struggling. This might help make studying less painful and a tiny tiny bit more enjoyable.
You really love to see old gay n trans people supporting young gay n trans people. You absolutely adore it
He’s bisexual which I feel is so important considering that bi people have the lowest rates of participation in the LGBT community (as in, are usually closeted or alienated, bi men especially) so it’s so good to see an older bi man making himself visible like this🥰🥺
