WEBVTT - Cozy Caldos

0:00:00.680 --> 0:00:04.600
<v Speaker 1>My name is Eva Longoria and I am Myra and

0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:09.639
<v Speaker 1>welcome to Hungry for History, a podcast that explores our

0:00:09.680 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>past and present through food. On every episode, we'll talk

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.760
<v Speaker 1>about the history of some of our favorite dishes, ingredients,

0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:17.479
<v Speaker 1>and beverages from our culture.

0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:18.680
<v Speaker 2>So make yourself at home.

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 3>Even Brochel, Oh my god, I feel like crawling into

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:31.240
<v Speaker 3>a hole and eating gado for the rest of my life.

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:36.960
<v Speaker 3>This isn't a lie. Literally, my cozy place is cooking cardos.

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:38.839
<v Speaker 3>First of all, when I'm anxious. I just love cooking.

0:00:39.240 --> 0:00:41.600
<v Speaker 2>But one of my favorite things to do.

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 3>Is soups and caldos and portis in Spain.

0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:50.520
<v Speaker 4>I'm with you, I'm with you. There's nothing more comforting

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 4>than a cardo. A good carlo is like a warm hug.

0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:57.960
<v Speaker 2>It is, It's like a warm hug.

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 3>So today's episode is all about will never forget the day,

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 3>the day where.

0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.039
<v Speaker 2>We were on election Day.

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I came over to your house on election day

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 4>and we were going to record and you were just like,

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 4>I can't, I can't, let's just cook.

0:01:14.480 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 2>Everything just smelt so it smelled like home, your house,

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:19.680
<v Speaker 2>I know, and you never had.

0:01:19.720 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 3>I made posole and tortilla, both they're in my cookbook.

0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Because it's soup season.

0:01:24.840 --> 0:01:28.480
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't decide which tortilla soup is probably my most

0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 3>requested soup from my friends, and they were all coming

0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:33.720
<v Speaker 3>over for the election, so I was like, I'll make that,

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:35.960
<v Speaker 3>but I was I was really excited about the possole,

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:38.880
<v Speaker 3>and once everybody got here.

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:43.440
<v Speaker 2>They were equally excited for the posole. It was delicious.

0:01:43.720 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 4>I had never had white bosole, and so it was

0:01:47.760 --> 0:01:50.280
<v Speaker 4>It was really it was really delicious because it was

0:01:50.360 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 4>just just the broth was sort of thick and just

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 4>so flavorful, and there was pork and chicken and herbs

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.920
<v Speaker 4>and and the fry TOI yeah, I mean it was

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.360
<v Speaker 4>like just so many things going at the same time,

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.880
<v Speaker 4>so many smells, and it was the perfect day.

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:11.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if this is traditional, but posla is pork.

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:12.240
<v Speaker 2>Well.

0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:14.920
<v Speaker 3>I make my posola with a pork broth. First you

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:18.080
<v Speaker 3>start boiling the pork shoulder and then you add chicken

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.400
<v Speaker 3>legs in, so then you end up getting a pork

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 3>chicken broth mix and it is like mind blowing it really.

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm just like, my favorite thing about posola is the corn.

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 3>I love homini, but I think this broth is probably

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 3>my favorite broth of the entire cookbook.

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that broth was really extraordinary. I was just I mean,

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 4>I was just eating. I was just standing in front

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.960
<v Speaker 4>of it, just taking spoonfuls of it from this giant pot.

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 3>And also pasola is like Mexican oregano heavy, which is

0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:54.920
<v Speaker 3>very different than a regano or Italian oregano.

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:58.239
<v Speaker 4>Totally different family, totally different. But then you also had

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 4>bay leaves in there, and so that gives it this

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.560
<v Speaker 4>really earthy flavor. So it was just this combination of

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:08.840
<v Speaker 4>of of flavors and aromas that was just really intoxicating.

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 4>It was the perfect thing to eat and the perfect

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 4>way to spend the afternoon. I have to say it

0:03:13.560 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 4>was at your house. Just it was fun and it

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 4>was cozy and nice.

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:20.480
<v Speaker 2>Before it turned really dark cado. I know then we

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:21.200
<v Speaker 2>started drinking.

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 3>But you know, I always say this, I think the soup,

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:26.080
<v Speaker 3>the soup chapter in my cookbook is what I'm most

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:30.800
<v Speaker 3>proud of. I love stews and soups and broths that

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 3>are a meal, Like I want it to be the meal.

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 3>I don't want it to be an entrada. I don't

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:37.520
<v Speaker 3>want it to be an appetizer. It needs to be

0:03:37.600 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 3>the whole meal, and so I just feel like other

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 3>than it's like cozy in the weather turns.

0:03:43.960 --> 0:03:47.160
<v Speaker 2>I love a one pot meal. Yeah for sure.

0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 4>So how did you go about choosing those specific recipes,

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 4>the ones that you have in your cookbook?

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, these are the ones I cook the most. I

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:57.080
<v Speaker 2>cook a lot.

0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 3>I always cook, so I always make sopa, I always

0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:05.440
<v Speaker 3>make chili cone, like, these are just things I always

0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 3>make that I didn't put in my first cookbook.

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, you know.

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:10.720
<v Speaker 3>What, I said, let me let me oh, I want

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 3>to put this in the cookbook. And then I go, oh, yeah,

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 3>this other one. And then my girlfriend was like, you know,

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.760
<v Speaker 3>don't forget the lemon the limon chicken.

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, oh, yeah, that's ord I do

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.480
<v Speaker 2>make that. And then the new one.

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.440
<v Speaker 3>That was the new one was a new one that

0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.280
<v Speaker 3>that I felt like, oh, there's not probably not much

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.960
<v Speaker 3>to this one, and I fell in love with it

0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.480
<v Speaker 3>in Mexico on my on my Journey.

0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:38.480
<v Speaker 2>Then U Katthan, Yeah, yeah, that is a great one.

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 4>You know, my dad was from Yukatan, so I whenever

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 4>somebody would go to Yukatan, they would bring back some

0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 4>le mask because they're different.

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 2>Then that was a new one.

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.279
<v Speaker 3>But also a new one that I hadn't made that

0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:49.239
<v Speaker 3>I fell in love with was corn soup.

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean like corn and green chile soup is what

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:52.600
<v Speaker 2>I heard.

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:57.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, cookbook with salza macha, but like just corn so,

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.360
<v Speaker 3>you know, like it's of course it's corn, so and

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 3>you know, you reserve the cobs because you want to

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.840
<v Speaker 3>make you know, make that broth and you add your

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 3>green chilis.

0:05:07.080 --> 0:05:09.839
<v Speaker 2>It's just filling again, filling.

0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, gosh, they're so good. And there is something about

0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 4>that one one pop meal. It's simple. You don't have

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 4>to wash a ton of dishes and then you just

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 4>have this full meal. One of my favorites is the

0:05:22.680 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 4>Caldo l'alpeno. And I have to go to Danny's, my

0:05:26.040 --> 0:05:28.040
<v Speaker 4>favorite home, you know.

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Chain not Denny.

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.279
<v Speaker 3>There's not to be confused with Denny's. Danny's.

0:05:33.440 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 2>Danny's they're the best.

0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:39.400
<v Speaker 4>It's basically a chicken soup and they have like a

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:44.600
<v Speaker 4>giant piece of chicken in there, vegetables and chipotlet, and

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 4>it's like a tomatoy broth and it has the fried

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 4>you know, yas tons of lime juice and there's this

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 4>legend that in the nineteenth century, President Antonio Lopez the

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 4>Santana he was hungover and he asked his cooks to

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 4>make him some babe and they came.

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:03.039
<v Speaker 2>Up with this and they called it Carlo because he

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 2>was in in Lalpan.

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.160
<v Speaker 4>And so, but that's also another thing about you know,

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 4>their homie, their cozy, they're warm, they're nutritious, warm pop meals.

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 4>But also oftentimes, oh you have a calota cure your hangover,

0:06:16.160 --> 0:06:16.880
<v Speaker 4>you know, Oh my god.

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 3>Well that that, by the way, I feel like that's

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.839
<v Speaker 3>why manulo was invented. That's what we used to eat

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:26.839
<v Speaker 3>in college at like three am at Mithierra and San Antonio,

0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.120
<v Speaker 3>you know, hungover, and it's open twenty four hours. So

0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 3>we're like, Lola manudle, like there's something caring about eating calobo. Well,

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 3>when we come back, we are heading into the kitchen

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 3>to cook two caldos from my cole and.

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I can't wait, don't go anywhere, we'll be back

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:57.839
<v Speaker 4>after the break. On election day, even invited me over

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 4>to cook some of her favorite soups and they were delicious.

0:07:01.680 --> 0:07:03.160
<v Speaker 4>Here's our cooking from that day.

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.920
<v Speaker 2>So we are in my kitchen. It's election night, and

0:07:08.080 --> 0:07:11.920
<v Speaker 2>yes we are drinking. I can't. I don't have words.

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 2>And when I'm stressed, I cook. I actually stress cooked

0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:17.760

<v Speaker 3>lunch for pepper tuna salad with all this stuff.

0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:25.920
<v Speaker 2>And then I was like, you know what should I

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 2>make this hour?

0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 3>I should make the sour dough for the bread for

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:30.840
<v Speaker 3>the tuna sandwich and really, and then I was like, no,

0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:33.560
<v Speaker 3>I know I'm not gonna make the I mean I've

0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:34.520
<v Speaker 3>been a crazy person.

0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.120
<v Speaker 2>No, well, it's it's a stressful day. It's a very

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:38.680
<v Speaker 2>stressful day. But when I walked in.

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:44.800
<v Speaker 4>The smell of the smell of Eva's house is well,

0:07:45.000 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 4>the smell of Eva's house is home. Yeah, it smells

<v Speaker 3>I could easily make a green because I have the salsa,

0:08:15.000 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 3>but I think we're gonna do white.

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:20.200
<v Speaker 2>I've never had white bosole. Yeah, it's not that common.

0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 2>I know it's red or green. It's usually red or green.

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:26.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't know why I do white. Really, I'm excited.

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I just tasted the broth and it's incredible.

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:32.520
<v Speaker 3>And here's the other thing that I love about posole menu, though,

0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:38.800
<v Speaker 3>is harmony. I mean I put extra hominy in mind,

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:39.960
<v Speaker 3>which I'm gonna put another.

0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:40.839
<v Speaker 2>That's the best part.

0:08:41.040 --> 0:08:44.920
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, And so the word borsoli comes from posoli. And

0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:49.480
<v Speaker 4>now while posoli which means foam because it's this corn,

0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.760
<v Speaker 4>this nick stimalized corn, the harmony when it comes up

0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:54.559
<v Speaker 4>at the top, it looks like foam.

0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:56.440
<v Speaker 2>I've been boiling the broth.

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 3>I boiled the pork shoulder for about three hours, then

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.520
<v Speaker 3>had the oregano and the onion and salt and bay

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 3>leaf and cilantro, and then about well about an hour

0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 3>and a half in then I put chicken leg quarters.

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 3>So it is one of the few soups that is

0:09:12.000 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 3>pork and chicken broth.

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I'm excited to try it. I'm about to add a

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:15.960
<v Speaker 2>new can.

0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:20.160
<v Speaker 3>Here's my chicken, the chicken leg quarters, and here's the pork.

0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 3>I shredded it, and I just you keep.

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 2>This broth simmering on low rushing up my drink. I

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 2>can't believe I down. I was so thirsty, but like

0:09:29.960 --> 0:09:32.520

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:37.680
<v Speaker 2>When getting here? Oh my god, this broth the bros

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:41.079

<v Speaker 4>Oh my gosh, Okay, this is really finely shredded chicken.

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:46.079
<v Speaker 2>And then we'll put the pork back in. So it

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:47.920
<v Speaker 2>was this like a whole like a whole chicken, like

0:09:48.480 --> 0:09:52.120
<v Speaker 2>four leg quarters. Okay, yeah, because I like dark meat. Yeah,

<v Speaker 3>Oh my god.

0:09:57.920 --> 0:09:59.440
<v Speaker 2>I could just eat thisa me too.

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:05.120

<v Speaker 3>This is my old it's this is the first right now,

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:16.920
<v Speaker 3>it's in my first cookbook, but it is one of

0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:20.680
<v Speaker 3>the most famous soups that I make.

0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:24.840
<v Speaker 2>It's just famous. Yeah. But yeah, so you rehydrate on.

0:10:25.000 --> 0:10:29.480
<v Speaker 3>Cho and wahiel chili's once they're really mushy, you d

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:30.120
<v Speaker 3>see them.

0:10:30.559 --> 0:10:31.200
<v Speaker 2>You rinse it.

0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.760
<v Speaker 3>I've written some all the seeds out, and I throw

0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.520
<v Speaker 3>it in a blender with tomatoes and garlic and.

0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Salt.

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.199
<v Speaker 3>And it's a very thick paste, like so thick.

0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:45.040
<v Speaker 2>So I strain it through a calendar. It's like super smoothky.

0:10:45.160 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 2>Look how sulky that is? Yeah? Yeah, no, it's super smooth.

0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:49.880
<v Speaker 2>It's beautiful, beautiful. Yeah.

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.679
<v Speaker 3>So then you take that paste and then you add

0:10:52.720 --> 0:10:56.920
<v Speaker 3>all this chicken broth into it. Okay, this one's pretty strong.

0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.480
<v Speaker 3>You could actually I could have. I could afford to

0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:01.240
<v Speaker 3>put some more chicken broth in it because look.

0:11:01.120 --> 0:11:04.160
<v Speaker 2>At that color. Yeah, it's it's dark. Yeah, it's very opaque.

0:11:04.160 --> 0:11:07.600
<v Speaker 3>So then I shredded some I just had a rotisserie

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:08.760
<v Speaker 3>chicken because I didn't have time.

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.079
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So I didn't boil this chicken or anything.

0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 3>I just shredded a rotisserie chicken, okay, deboned it, and

0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:15.439
<v Speaker 3>now I'm throwing.

0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.880
<v Speaker 2>It into our tortilla soup. And then you just let

0:11:17.920 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 2>that stay warm. But this has been boiling for about

0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:23.479
<v Speaker 2>two hours. Because you want all of those.

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:27.360
<v Speaker 3>The chili and the apple, and the and the tomato.

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:29.280
<v Speaker 2>You want all of that too. Oh, the tomato in

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:29.600
<v Speaker 2>it too.

0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 3>Okay to marry each other, Okay, in your paste. It's chili, tomatoes,

0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.120
<v Speaker 3>masic mostly the basse. All right, we have all of

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 3>our garnishes.

0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:39.360
<v Speaker 2>Look at this, that's the poslet.

0:11:39.559 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 4>We can't think of a better way to spend delection today,

0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 4>to spend today and every day.

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 2>Just see in the kitchen. I know, okay, look at this.

0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:52.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's get a good bite with everything in it. Cover

0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 2>it up.

0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:57.199
<v Speaker 3>It's really delicious, you know, great, and it's white white,

0:11:57.320 --> 0:11:58.839
<v Speaker 3>never whitle.

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.319
<v Speaker 2>It's so it's like it's all in the broth. It's

0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:04.480
<v Speaker 2>all in the broth. It's all in the really really

0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:05.160
<v Speaker 2>good broth.

0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 3>Not complicated soup. It just takes a long time to

0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 3>get these flavors in their broth.

0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Hm. The homonade, this is delicious.

0:12:16.480 --> 0:12:20.720
<v Speaker 3>The homonae with the pork, with the chicken, with the avocado.

0:12:21.040 --> 0:12:25.000
<v Speaker 2>It's the perfect balance. Kitchen is full. Kids are here

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.760
<v Speaker 2>being a little loud, but we are going to move

0:12:28.800 --> 0:12:32.240
<v Speaker 2>on to the tortilla soup. We're gonna fry the tortilla chips.

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.680
<v Speaker 4>Okay, So it's just they're just cut into long, thin strips.

0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 2>I like it thin, some people like thick. And this

0:12:38.000 --> 0:12:39.520
<v Speaker 2>is just vegetable oil.

0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.559
<v Speaker 3>Also, I don't want an olive oil taste with this

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 3>tortillas sou.

0:12:43.360 --> 0:12:43.760
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't go.

0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 4>And also, vegetable oil burns at a higher temperature, so

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:52.120
<v Speaker 4>you could really get that nice golden brown color without

0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:54.040
<v Speaker 4>the oil burning and the hoping turning bitter.

0:12:54.440 --> 0:12:56.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, oh, your thing on fire. I always catch it

0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.760
<v Speaker 2>on fire. I'm always catching something on fire.

0:13:00.960 --> 0:13:02.960
<v Speaker 3>So we do these in batches because you actually don't

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:06.600
<v Speaker 3>want to crowd the pan, because you want these tortilla

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 3>strips crispy.

0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of I knew it.

0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 3>I knew I was going to catch it, all right.

0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.360
<v Speaker 3>So now we're about to assemble our tortilla soup. We

0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 3>put all the condiments at the bottom.

0:13:27.520 --> 0:13:29.640
<v Speaker 2>Okay, here we go. We're going to do a little

0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 2>bit of.

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:34.360
<v Speaker 3>Chicken and some bra My gosh, that looks to me

0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 3>so red.

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:37.360
<v Speaker 2>It is beautiful.

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:46.160
<v Speaker 3>Now you put the avocadoes and and and a little

0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:46.520
<v Speaker 3>bit of me.

0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:50.480
<v Speaker 2>I like a lot of caeso presco and lime. Don't

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.040
<v Speaker 2>forget lime. This is my friend's favorite. Don't you guys

0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:57.839
<v Speaker 2>love when I make this? Okay, let's let's see. We

0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.840
<v Speaker 2>got to have everything in one bite. It's a little hot,

0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.760
<v Speaker 2>it's smoky, but not spicy. Mm hmmm. So if you

0:14:03.840 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 2>want to spicy, you can leave the seeds in it. No,

0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.600
<v Speaker 2>but this is nice. It's really subtle. But it's so

0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:14.600
<v Speaker 2>hardy mm so hearty. Oh my god. So that's the

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:15.480
<v Speaker 2>tortilla soup.

0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:19.240
<v Speaker 3>Two soups tonight, you guys, don't go anywhere hungry for

0:14:19.320 --> 0:14:20.480
<v Speaker 3>history will be right.

0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:26.640
<v Speaker 2>Back after the break. Calo, it's my favorite word for

0:14:26.680 --> 0:14:29.320
<v Speaker 2>you to say. I love calo Calo.

0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.480
<v Speaker 3>I grew up with caldo more than what's the difference

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.000
<v Speaker 3>with caldo for me? I just know caldo de pois.

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:36.720
<v Speaker 3>If you said just caldo, you know it's going to

0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 3>be a caldo deo.

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:42.320
<v Speaker 4>Well, there's also calorees, hit beef bra there's a camaron,

0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:44.000
<v Speaker 4>which is one of my favorites.

0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 3>And you know, I feel like every country has their

0:14:46.520 --> 0:14:50.320
<v Speaker 3>caldo de because in Italy they have that that one

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:54.440
<v Speaker 3>that's called no not penicillin, Grandma's penicillin, and it's the

0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 3>Italian chicken pastini.

0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Soup.

0:14:56.720 --> 0:15:01.920
<v Speaker 4>Every culture has a version of that. So you're thirty, Yeah, soup,

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:03.720
<v Speaker 4>it was incredible.

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:03.760
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

0:15:04.120 --> 0:15:04.520
<v Speaker 3>I do it.

0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 2>It's my famous. Yeah.

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:09.640
<v Speaker 3>You start with like the base of ch chili paste basically,

0:15:09.720 --> 0:15:14.000
<v Speaker 3>so you boil on chow chili's wahil chils that are dried,

0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.760
<v Speaker 3>so you got to rehydrate them, de stell them, take

0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:20.560
<v Speaker 3>out the seeds, and then you burrey that with tomatoes, garlic,

0:15:20.680 --> 0:15:26.640
<v Speaker 3>ci landro, a little bit of broth, salt and that.

0:15:26.680 --> 0:15:27.720
<v Speaker 2>It's really thick.

0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:32.200
<v Speaker 3>And what I do is I strain it through a

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.760
<v Speaker 3>colander to get all the still because it's still very fibrous.

0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.200
<v Speaker 3>Cheat dried chili is very uh. It has a lot

0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:40.720
<v Speaker 3>of little little little fibers, and so if you don't

0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:43.160
<v Speaker 3>strain it, it's in the soup. It kind of looks

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:46.280
<v Speaker 3>cool sometimes if you leave it. But I strain it,

0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.520
<v Speaker 3>and then you put that like constant. It doesn't taste

0:15:49.520 --> 0:15:52.800
<v Speaker 3>good like that. It's so concentrated and tastes like a

0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:56.880
<v Speaker 3>dried chili. And then you put it into a big

0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.360
<v Speaker 3>pot with chicken broth and that's and you got to

0:15:59.400 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 3>let it cook because those flavors have to like cook.

0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:04.800
<v Speaker 3>You have to cook everything together. It's kind of like

0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.800
<v Speaker 3>when I make my green sausa. I make my domatios

0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:09.960
<v Speaker 3>and onions and all that stuff, but then I cook

0:16:10.000 --> 0:16:13.640
<v Speaker 3>it because it comes out totally different when you cook.

0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:16.360
<v Speaker 2>You know, the chili pepe.

0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 4>It was delicious, and then it has you know, garnishes

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.040
<v Speaker 4>of guests.

0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:25.080
<v Speaker 2>Cheese, some lun oocado.

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:28.120
<v Speaker 3>But I said this too, I said, watch the paper towel.

0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:30.080
<v Speaker 3>I always catch it on fire. And that's why when

0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 3>my husband walked in, he's like, what are you guys doing?

0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:37.880
<v Speaker 3>Were like, we know what we're doing, and we were like, sorry, Hi,

0:16:38.280 --> 0:16:40.240
<v Speaker 3>We were like, guys, we know what we're doing.

0:16:40.280 --> 0:16:41.520
<v Speaker 2>We have a podcast.

0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:44.560
<v Speaker 4>I did panic for a split second, but you had

0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:48.560
<v Speaker 4>clearly gone through that rodeo before. You had clearly lit

0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:49.960
<v Speaker 4>a paper towel on fire before.

0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:52.600
<v Speaker 2>It was so funny, which posolas are from what region?

0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:55.360
<v Speaker 3>Because red, green, and white are the kinds, but they're

0:16:55.360 --> 0:16:56.520
<v Speaker 3>from different regions.

0:16:56.600 --> 0:16:58.200
<v Speaker 2>Huh, they're from different regions.

0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:02.720
<v Speaker 4>So the red pole is typically from Guerrero and Jalisco. White,

0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:04.320
<v Speaker 4>which is the one that you made that I'd never

0:17:04.359 --> 0:17:07.920
<v Speaker 4>had before, and it was amazing, Guerrero and Cela, Mexico.

0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.679
<v Speaker 4>And then the greens from Guerrero and Metro gun so

0:17:10.800 --> 0:17:14.399
<v Speaker 4>all sort of central even though we have them everywhere.

0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:18.720
<v Speaker 4>But each of them has slightly different ingredients, you know,

0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:21.840
<v Speaker 4>slightly different flavors. The white one that you made was

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:24.479
<v Speaker 4>much more subtle because it didn't have any chile. It

0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:29.360
<v Speaker 4>was just this really hardy, you know, stew, that broth

0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:32.360
<v Speaker 4>that was the base of it. And some of them

0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:36.399
<v Speaker 4>are a little or they just have different different flavor notes.

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:40.199
<v Speaker 3>I mean, soup seems like it must have come from

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:44.440
<v Speaker 3>caveman times, like as soon as fire was invented, there

0:17:44.520 --> 0:17:45.480
<v Speaker 3>must have been.

0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:50.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, a documentation of soup. Is that how

0:17:50.359 --> 0:17:52.280
<v Speaker 2>long ago it is? Yeah?

0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:55.480
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, So there's a archaeologist, John Speth who argued that

0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.760
<v Speaker 4>has argued that Neanderthals, ancient humans that lived, you know,

0:17:58.800 --> 0:18:02.080
<v Speaker 4>two hundred thouyd and twenty eight years ago, they would

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:06.040
<v Speaker 4>have needed this boiling technology to render fat from animal boats,

0:18:06.040 --> 0:18:09.800
<v Speaker 4>to make bone broth to supplement their their diets because

0:18:09.800 --> 0:18:12.080
<v Speaker 4>there's just only so much protein the kidneys and the

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:16.160
<v Speaker 4>liver can process right before they become poisoned, So they

0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:19.560
<v Speaker 4>needed to get half of their calories from fat and carbohydrates.

0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.159
<v Speaker 4>And in some parts of the world where there is

0:18:21.200 --> 0:18:25.199
<v Speaker 4>no wheat. Boiling bones to obtain fat, you know, it

0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.400
<v Speaker 4>was important and they would have to they would drink

0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:30.920
<v Speaker 4>the resulting broth. So even though we don't we can't

0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:35.280
<v Speaker 4>pinpoint exactly then exactly who made the first one. You know,

0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:39.120
<v Speaker 4>it would have been thousands of years ago, and there

0:18:39.240 --> 0:18:43.040
<v Speaker 4>would have made containers from maybe from tree barks, from

0:18:43.080 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 4>from hides of an animal, even before they were making pottery.

0:18:47.800 --> 0:18:52.320
<v Speaker 2>To to do all the soup. Yeah, right, exactly to

0:18:52.480 --> 0:18:53.200
<v Speaker 2>hold the soup.

0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:57.840
<v Speaker 3>I feel like soup must have been born of medicinal properties.

0:18:57.840 --> 0:18:59.680
<v Speaker 3>I mean, if you just think about the Neanderthals and

0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:00.960
<v Speaker 3>they're like we need to.

0:19:01.600 --> 0:19:04.400
<v Speaker 2>Supplement or diet like that was a little medicinal.

0:19:04.440 --> 0:19:07.840
<v Speaker 3>But was there like a more purposeful medicinal reason why

0:19:07.920 --> 0:19:08.800
<v Speaker 3>soup was invented?

0:19:09.840 --> 0:19:10.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, definitely.

0:19:10.840 --> 0:19:14.960
<v Speaker 4>So there's also actually the earliest known recipes for soups

0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:19.040
<v Speaker 4>and broths are in Cuneiform tablets from Mesopotamia region which

0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:23.679
<v Speaker 4>includes Babylon and Assyrian from around seventeen thirty BC. And

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:27.520
<v Speaker 4>there's a team of scholars and you know, culinary historians

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:31.320
<v Speaker 4>that took some of these tablets that are from the

0:19:31.440 --> 0:19:35.960
<v Speaker 4>Yale Peabody Museum and tried to you know, and decipher

0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:39.639
<v Speaker 4>them and made the recipes and they have unique uses.

0:19:39.720 --> 0:19:44.360
<v Speaker 4>So one of them is called Pasha tum and it's

0:19:44.400 --> 0:19:48.520
<v Speaker 4>a soup that was served for somebody suffering from a cold.

0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:53.040
<v Speaker 4>So it was a bland soup, but it had leak, coriander,

0:19:53.160 --> 0:19:56.919
<v Speaker 4>and onion, so that I think is super interesting. And

0:19:57.000 --> 0:19:59.280
<v Speaker 4>another one that I find super interesting was called the

0:19:59.440 --> 0:20:04.240
<v Speaker 4>elamite broth and it was a foreign, foreign dish. So

0:20:04.320 --> 0:20:07.119
<v Speaker 4>this is sort of the equivalent of us eating things

0:20:07.160 --> 0:20:09.760
<v Speaker 4>like lasagna or hummus that are that are from other

0:20:09.800 --> 0:20:11.800
<v Speaker 4>parts of the world that are just we don't even

0:20:11.800 --> 0:20:15.600
<v Speaker 4>think about it, right, So it's the same sort of

0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:20.680
<v Speaker 4>idea indicative of this contact between neighboring cultures.

0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Into the Sun's very cool, very interesting.

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:27.960
<v Speaker 5>When did we start eating it like in a more

0:20:28.040 --> 0:20:32.639
<v Speaker 5>formal bowl, So that's a really good question. So the

0:20:32.680 --> 0:20:37.240
<v Speaker 5>evolution of pottery allowed us to have a super ma bowl, right, So,

0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:41.120
<v Speaker 5>and it's this one of the oldest human inventions, and

0:20:41.520 --> 0:20:44.560
<v Speaker 5>that gave people the ability to steam, to boil and

0:20:44.600 --> 0:20:47.800
<v Speaker 5>to simmer food. And by doing that you can make

0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:51.080
<v Speaker 5>food that's soft, and you could feed soft food to

0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:56.080
<v Speaker 5>children and to the toothless elderly, allowing people to live longer.

0:20:56.560 --> 0:20:59.920
<v Speaker 5>So the invention of pottery led to growth in population,

0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:02.600
<v Speaker 5>and some of the oldest potteries from China and Japan.

0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:05.199
<v Speaker 3>Well yeah, I mean, if you think about China Japan,

0:21:05.280 --> 0:21:07.720
<v Speaker 3>they have some amazing soups.

0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:11.040
<v Speaker 2>Like you know, some of my favorite soups are from Japan.

0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:13.640
