♪
>>> WELL, BEFORE THE BREAK WE
LEARNED ABOUT SOUPS FOR SUE, A
WONDERFUL COMMUNITY EFFORT TO
SUPPORT A LOCAL WOMAN RECENTLY
DIAGNOSED WITH STAGE IV LUNG
CANCER.
>> CHEF SEAN IS HERE TO GIVE US
AN EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE SOUPS
THAT IS AVAILABLE AS PART OF
SOUPS FOR SUE, ONE OF HER
SOUPS?
>> YES, THIS IS HER FAVORITE
ONE TO MAKE.
SHE MAKES IT ALL THE TIME
BECAUSE OF THE CARE AND
ATTENTION THAT GOES INTO MAKING
THE SOUP.
IT IS ALL IN THE FOUNDATION OF
IT, MAKING THE STOCK RIGHT,
GETTING EVERYTHING IN THE
FLAVORS TO COME OUT OF THE
CHICKEN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN TO
GET IT INTO THE BROTH.
>> AND THIS IS
>> THIS IS THE CHICKEN PAPRIKA
SOUP.
>> AND YOU WATCH ME ON THE SHOW
BEFORE.
[LAUGHTER]
>> SO
>> SO FAR, I'VE GONE THROUGH TO
MAKE CHICKEN STOCK.
CHICKEN HAS BEEN BOILED WITH
CARROTS AND CELERY, ONION AND
GARLIC, BAY LEAVES AND
EVERYTHING.
WE PULLED OFF AND SAVED THE
JUICES AND PULL THE CHICKEN OFF
THE BONE.
>> RIGHT.
>> NOW, YOU ARE TO THE POINT
WHERE ALL YOU REALLY HAVE TO DO
IS PUT IT TOGETHER.
>> AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO?
>> IS VERY SIMPLE TO DO,
ANYBODY CAN MAKE US.
>> WHAT WILL WE MAKE FIRST?
WILL GRAB THE BUTTER AND PUT IT
IN THE POT.
>> ALL OF IT?
>> YES.
WATCH OVER?
>> WELL, I AM TAKING NOTES
RIGHT NOW.
>> SHE IS IN CHARGE OF THE POT,
ISN'T SHE QUIT.
>> THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
[LAUGHTER]
>> SHE IS IN CHARGE OF
STIRRING.
>> SEE, SHE'S JUST IN HERE
TRYING TO EAT THE FOOD.
>> YOU WANT ME TO STIR IT?
>> JUST MELTS DOWN THE BUTTER A
LITTLE BIT.
GRAB THE ONIONS AND GARLIC, AND
DUMP ALL THE ONIONS IN THERE
AND JUST LET THEM COOK.
YOU LIKE ONIONS AND GARLIC?
>> OH, I LOVE ONIONS AND
GARLIC'S, THEY ARE SUPER FOODS.
>> WHY?
>> BECAUSE THEY HAVE SO MUCH.
>> BECAUSE THEY ARE SUPER?
>> THEY HAVE ANTIOXIDANTS.
>> YOU SEE, I'M NOT SMART
ENOUGH TO KNOW THIS.
SO YOU SAID WE WILL NOT
CARAMELIZE IT?
>> NO, JUST COOKING THE ONIONS
UNTIL THEY ARE REALLY SOFT.
YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO REALLY
STAND OUT AND CRUNCHING THE
SOUP OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
>> OKAY.
>> SHE ONE OF THEM ALWAYS
REALLY SOFT, ALMOST
DISINTEGRATED.
>> THIS WAS SUE
>> THERE WON'T BE ENOUGH
CHICKEN LEFT.
[LAUGHTER]
>> SO, YOU HAVE IT GOING AND
WHAT GOES NEXT?
>> NEXT, YOU ARE GOING TO THROW
IN THE PAPRIKA FOR THE CHICKEN.
>> ALL OF THIS?
>> ALL OF THE PAPRIKA.
OKAY.
>> THERE'S NOT A LOT OF FLAVOR,
SO YOU WANT TO REALLY PUT A LOT
OF IT IN THERE.
THE REASON YOU WILL PUT IT IN
THERE WHILE THE ONIONS ARE
COOKING IS THE HEAT WILL ALLOW
FOR THE FLAVORS TO REALLY COME
OUT OTHER THAN THEY NORMALLY
WOULD.
>> IT ALREADY SMELLS GOOD.
>> AND NORMALLY, THIS WOULD
TAKE LONGER THAN WHAT WE ARE
TAKING?
>> DEFINITELY, HONESTLY WITH
THE STOCK AND EVERYTHING, A
COUPLE OF HOURS, THREE OR FOUR
HOURS, DEPENDING ON HOW LONG TO
BOILED THE STOCK FOUR.
THE LONGER YOU MAKE IT, THE
BETTER IT WILL BE.
>> THE PREP TIME IS REALLY OVER
HERE.
>> YEAH, ALL OF THIS STUFF JUST
TAKES A WHILE.
>> NOW WE DIDN'T WANT TO PANIC
SUE, SO HONEST-TO-GOODNESS,
THESE GUYS DO IT RIGHT, THEY DO
IT RIGHT.
>> DEFINITELY.
>> SO YOU'VE GOT THAT GOING?
>> I GOT IT GOING.
>> WE WILL LET IT GO, AND JUST
LET THE ONIONS CUT DOWN.
>> DID YOU WORK WITH SUE?
>> OH, YEAH.
FOUR I STARTED PROBABLY THREE
YEARS AGO, SO I WORKED WITH HER
FOR TWO YEARS, A GREAT PERSON.
I'VE LEARNED A LOT FROM HER.
YOU LEARN A LOT FROM EVERYBODY
YOU WORK WITH, BUT HER
ESPECIALLY.
SHE WAS IT WAS NICE TO SEE
WHEN I CAME IN HOW MUCH CARE
AND ATTENTION SHE TOOK FOR THE
MEALS AND SOUPS SHE WAS
PREPARING AND MAKING AND HOW
MUCH PRIDE SHE TOOK IN WHAT SHE
WAS DOING.
REFRESHING TO SEE THAT IT IS
STILL OUT THERE.
>> WHAT IS HER PERSONALITY LIKE
WE.
>> SHE IS FUN, HONESTLY.
SHE HAS A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR.
SHE ENJOYS WEIRD THINGS LIKE
DRAGONS AND STUFF LIKE THAT.
[LAUGHTER]
>> BUT I MEAN, I DO, TOO, SO I
CAN'T REALLY SAY ANYTHING.
[LAUGHTER]
>> BUT SHE IS JUST AWESOME, A
GREAT PERSON TO TALK TO, EVERY
DAY COMING IN WITH RECIPE
IDEAS, TALKING ABOUT HEY, WE
CAN USE THIS UP.
LET'S MAKE A SOUP OUT OF THIS.
SO IT WAS REALLY REFRESHING TO
COME IN EVERY DAY AND HAVE
SOMEBODY WHO I FELT WAS JUST AS
PASSIONATE ABOUT COOKING AS I
WAS AND REALLY TOOK THE TIME
AND CARE AND ATTENTION TO WHAT
SHE WAS DOING TO MAKE SURE IT
WAS DONE RIGHT.
