THANK YOU ❗️
When it’s chilly outside one of the things that always works best to warm you inside is soup and our smoked broccoli cheddar soup will warm the cockles of your heart whatever those are cockal of your heart is that even a hey Siri what are cockal of your heart
The cockal of the heart are its ventricles well that’s stupid and gross you hear that I don’t know warm the cockal of your heart it’s an expression hey Siri is warm the cockles of your heart and expression yes Max it is and quit doubting your father so now we all
Know this will not just warm the cockles of your heart but you’re going to like it and and we’re going to make which we’re going to start off with a like five ingredient beer bread because when you have soup you just don’t want to do
This you want to do this and then this and it all starts here we begin in our big bowl with three cups of self-rising flour that’s important very important follow it up with a couple tablespoons of sugar 1 tblspoon of baking powder put about a half a tablespoon of garlic
Powder in this some diced green onions and then we want to give it some cheese and keeping with our smoked theme I’ve got a block of white smoked cheddar smoked cheddar with black pepper and it smells insane that’s going to work now you would imagine we need some liquid
And here’s what it is it’s a can of beer remember this is a beer bread so this will go in oh what the hell it’s going to foam then that’ll subside as we start to mix and that we will do you just want everything to come together in one
Beautiful combo I know it doesn’t look that beautiful but it’s going to taste beautiful okay that’s done this is a 9×5 baking pan bread pan whatever you what’s it called what is this it’s a it’s a it’s a it’s a 9×5 pan that’s what it is
Two things before the dough goes in one will be a quick spray and then I like a piece of parchment because it’ll help get the bread out when it’s cooked and in goes our dough backwards for Max’s benefit and I know he always says it’s free for your benefit but I know what’s
Going on here so spread this guy down as flat as best you can look at the very least this is going to end up being a rugged looking loaf but still an easy damn good one and when it’s relatively flat anded out on top ready for the oven
And by the way don’t forget about the knives we’re giving one away every video this year just to have pay attention for your name this is going into a 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes there’s one quick step after that but in the meantime we start our smoking broccoli
Because we have to time to prep our broccoli so a big head of broccoli it’s called a crown and now all we want are the florettes so you’re going to do this cut these guys off and then you can make them that size if you want we’re going
To end up puring this after so they don’t have to be perfectly even save the stocks for something else we only want the fettes for this so continue till this is all done and when everybody’s cut they get a little squish of oil some salt and pepper we mix it then onto a
Baking rack I like the rack because it’ll let the smoke get all the way around and underneath and beside and inside out and the whole thing beautiful this we’ll take over to the smoker and in we go set her down and done smoker at 325 we want to leave the
Broccoli in there until it’s soft enough that we can do this with a knife well you can always do this with a knife but you want it to be able to go in that that’s the key and then we’ll take it off in the meantime um ah we can start
Start cooking some onion and garlic and you know that kind of business broccoli is ready and after 40 minutes there’s our bread looking lovely but we’re going to do this we’re going to take some butter and brush the top this kid’s going to go back into the oven for
Another o five 6 minutes to get what’s the word oh I know better first thing in our pot little splash of oil and one onion diced oo that pot we just want that to soften and this heat it’s only going to take a couple minutes next in a
Couple tablespoon oons of garlic paste or I’d say four big cloves and one carrot shredded mix away and when it smells fantastic give it I don’t know about 3 tablespoons of vermouth stir away and let that burn off next in remember this guy in goes our broccoli I’ve saved a handful of pieces
To mix in at the end but for now these go in followed by a chicken broth or vegetable broth if you want to keep this a veggie dish bring this to a little bubble and once boiling get it to a simmer leave it for 10 minutes to simmer
Away and while the soup simmers let’s look at our bread which is pretty beautiful considering how easy it was and that’s why you use the parchment so you can do that wow I mean I should really have it on here to cool properly but should we just come in here and have
One Little Slice look at this bread look what we made it’s beautiful but more important than how it looks I’ll be honest right now and I’m sure it’s not being represented to your ears as it is to ours but what’s going on over there right now kids are off school today
Because it’s Martin Luther King day I think if Martin Luther King was here he’s all about getting along but he’d have something to say about that meanwhile that a good hearty you know how good this is going to be in that soup which we’re now going to finish off
All right at this point it’s time to turn this into a soup because right now what is it chance just a bunch of vegetables just a bunch of vegetables that’s right so kill the heat can actually take that off we’re going to blend it but before we do we’re going to
Add a couple things one will be little smoked paprika it was about a teaspoon about the same of curry powder so give this a really nice little touch I’m a fan of putting mustard in this so this is a tablespoon of grainy mustard we give it just a quick little one two
Three around the edges then we come in with the big guns that would be our stick blender let me get you get you I’ll get you in we go you can make this as chunky as not chunk as you want I like it mediumish I don’t want big pieces for
Sure throw a little salt and pepper in a little head of our BFF of course you could do this in a blender but let me tell you something when this is all over doing this and cleaning this one part of the gadget is a lot easier than a
Blender or processor and when it’s where you want it we’re back on the heat to add two more things we’re on very low heat and we’re going to grade in two cups of sharp cheddar if you can hear me over the screaming little at a time oh
Man that one kid that that one kid and then stir away because if you try to fling two cups of cheese in here at once you’re just going to get one giant clumped ball of awfulness so stir in between each addition we’re adding we’re stirring we’re adding we’re stirring
This is going to be the best soup ever one last thing I’m going to give this about a half a cup of heavy cream bring this to a simmer and let it go on a very low simmer about 10 minutes and look how pretty that is and after 10
Minutes this is ready to be be bolded put in a bowl and in we go that’s the thickness you want or that I want now remember I saved back a little bit of the broccoli and just shaved off a little bit of the end so you can do
This and then the only other thing I think it needs little fresh black pepper like that boom and wait for it hello little bread hello little beer bread with some butter now you’re talking I’ll going be honest if this is not the best looking broccoli cheddar soup I don’t
Know what it is and it’s smoked and and then pureed so it’s this gorgeous texture the little bits of this crispy smoked broccoli on top oh my God come on let’s go you absolutely get the smokiness and I meant to say this if you don’t have a
Smoker no problem just do it in the oven you’ll be fine so good but I dreamt about this in with some soup for a bite now I’m happy recipes below I hope you make it I really want you to make it I’d also like you to hit the Subscribe
