MAKING SOUPS THAT PHIL LESTER WOULD PROBABLY HATE:
WEEK 1 / ?
Starting strong with this plain ass vegetable soup I made because I’ve been having GI problems and needed something plain </3 if you want to follow my soup series it’ll be under #nikki’s soup series
I was bored so I made a YouTube video for it lmao it’s like thirty seconds and not that deep so follow along and make it if you want :)
I haven’t made cooking tutorials in forever and it was so fun so I might start making them again!
If you subscribed to my channel in 2017 and remember my old content too bad all my videos are private <3
P.s. if there’s a soup recipe you want me to try leave a reply or an ask so I can try it because I love soup <3
Lemon won the Sunnydrop poll, so those bad boys are gonna be a standard lemondrop recipe. Maybe they'll have some honey thrown in for variety's sake? We'll see with the test batches.
Blue Raspberry won the Moondrop poll! But blue raspberry flavoring seems like it'd be a pain to get my hands on... So 2nd and 3rd place in the Moondrop poll are Blueberry and Lavender! They'll be combined into a weird franken-flavor for the final recipe. :]
Pour the cream into a small sauce pan. Bring to a simmer on medium high heat. Remove from heat before the cream can boil.
While the cream is heating, chop up the chocolate bars. The smaller the pieces, the quicker they will soften and your ganache will be easier to mix together.
Pour chopped chocolate into a heat proof bowl, then pour the heated cream over the pieces. Allow to sit 3-5 minutes so the chocolate can soften.
With a spoon or rubber spatula, gently stir the chocolate and cream together. Be patient! This will take a few minutes, but you'll see it slowly come together!
That's it! You've made ganache!
This ganache is a 1:1 ratio, 8oz of chocolate to 8oz of cream, and creates a excellent spreadable consistency. But it's easy to make pipeable ganache with the same process!
For pipeable ganache, cut the cream amount in half! Use just four ounces, or half a cup, of cream, and follow the same instructions. Enjoy!
*What kind of baking chocolate is completely up to you! Milk chocolate? Semi-sweet? White? Choose whichever of these will best compliment your dessert!
