like his confidence...i also like the cheese cut trick..fantastic...o and
by the way making the soup without the CHICKEN Broth is absolutely
perfect..who needs ugly chicken smell inside his soup.....sorry im not a
chicken fan
+Jeries Zarour I agree. I saw another recipe that had chicken stock and to me that is not broccoli soup, that's just soup with broccoli. The way Gordon makes it just seems really classy and professional.
+hutchd71 Get broccoli from a farmer's market for cheap and I always add quinoa to my broccoli soup to make it more filling. If you're not vegetarian, try putting some ground beef in it too.
+Paul Jones Can't agree. He cooked it too much, the broccoli looked too pale and nasty overall. This is good, but, you can always change things up and add broth or butter. There's no perfect way.
+nottheonlysinner Yes, if you're literally just looking at the food the price is often outrageous. But once you start taking in the business aspect of it all, the price isn't all that too radical.First off, Michelin star chef's recipe, already a premium luxury charge for the prestige of it (just like say for example, difference between going to a basketball camp taught by a no name high school coach as to, going to a camp taught by Hakeem Olajuwon. The credibility, prestige difference gap is huge).You're also paying for the highest quality ingredients available in the market as these calibre of restaurants would only be using fresh, top-notch ingredients prepared daily; something you most definitely cannot get in restaurants usually. Not even when you're cooking at home most often.Higher salary for higher quality BOH staff, often with more experience and trained better than say local restaurants.Higher salary for best quality FOH staff who often provide the best dining service possible.These restaurants are often located near the downtown of bigger cities which evidently results in higher rent prices, so that goes in there as well.High quality interior that creates a unique atmosphere for better dining experience, requires constant, up-to-date maintenance.On top of all that all the hydro and electricity bills, as well as separate industrial level gas line that needs to be installed separately and also paid separately (for the grills etc.).You take all these into account, you really can't complain. Again, especially when you're experiencing a Michelin star-calibre food.
+Brittany Claar I just said cheese not goat cheese haha but there is no way it justifies the fake price I gave it. 15 bucks for 1 pound of cheese. That would make like 100+ soups. You make your money back on one soup. Also. Soup.
Gosh... cooking broccoli in preshakukar doesn't make any sense! After two
whistles there will be all components destroyed and nothing left for dear
pregnant ladies to feed on (except a flavored "mass")! Boiling broccoli 2-3
minutes is more than enough. But if you lady Hindustan se - well...
hell-boil it all out (as most of you ladies think - anything raw will keel
ya?) (((:
+darrencornell1 you don't have to fry the onion or veg in soup, use less fat milk and cheese, i dont have problem with full fat milk or cheese, also on frying just a teaspoon of oil is enough to get those browns, people tend to put alot and alot of oil which is not necessarily.
