- I had a load of odds and ends of vegetables that need using up, and it's a cold wet rainy winter day, so I'm going to stay home and make some soup.

Hi! i just wanted to thank you, because my dad died of cancer a few days ago, but he got to see this video. And he wasnt able to eat, but he liked watching you picking berries and making food, or finding cool things at a beach. And I used to watch them with him. Thank you for giving him a good experience even though he couldn’t eat.
"Veg Bones" made me giggle a bit.
With regards to washing lentils - it's more important when you're making something that's mostly lentil such as daal. Means you don't have to deal with as much scum which can boil over or become burned on to the pot and make it a pain to clean. When it comes to a lower ratio of lentils like this, it doesn't matter too much.
if anything it's even better cuz it makes the soup thicker
My household is feeling poorly at the moment, and this gave me a great idea for supper. Cheers, Mr. Shrimp!
Hope it turns out well, and I wish you all a speedy recovery.
Unfortunately I'm quite under the weather, myself. I seem to always get sick after the family Christmas Eve party. I hope you and your family are well soon. Happy holidays and Happy New Year to you and yours!!
Yes, have some hot soup, and bundle up warm and get well.
Hope you’re feeling better soon. Just tested positive today myself and am very glad I’ve always got homemade soup in the freezer.
Hope you get better
Thank you! This was just what I needed. Not because I am in need of soup, but it was a relaxing video to come home to after a traffic accident, I'm still finding glass chards in my hair. I'm okay, nobody got seriously hurt, I just had some glass particles in my left eye that have been rinsed out. It was just a case of passing eachother to closely and the driver of the other vehicle going to fast (a bus and the driver didn't even notice (s)he drove into us, the police are tracking the driver down). The car on the other hand is not okay.
I just wish people would slow down a bit during winters.
Just wanted you to know that you are a person that makes people calm down.
Lol
@@BOBBYR-iz4bf Okay, a bit odd but good for you.
I'm glad you're ok. Your vehicle is replaceable, but you as a person are not.
@@applegal3058 I know. Not my vecihle as I'm disabled and
I used my countries taxi service for us with disabilities.
But I know what you mean and thank you.
😘
@@MsAnpassad you're more than welcome. Take care ❤
cant wait for a new budget challenge. Maybe with 3 Pound or 5 pound daily budget, would be very interesting !
£5 daily would be far too easy, unless he was cooking for Jenny as well
👍👍👍
Yes. I hope Mr Shrimp does this for the New Year
@GIBBO4182 it might be too easy but £5 a day is a more realistic amount you'd get to spend on food.
I'm super interested to see what he can come up with still under the guise of a challenge to help me along the way with budgeting too!
Always helpful to learn how to save a penny and still get nutrients and a decent meal :)
@@thatgirlwiththecrazyhair2067 there’s a budget video on here called “just to be frugal” that you might be interested in, if you haven’t already seen it! Tbf, I wouldn’t mind seeing what he could do with a higher budget myself. As you said, it’s a bit more realistic
I love that a channel like this can get such great viewership.
Brilliant tip for getting the dregs out of the tomato paste tube. One of those 'why didn't I think of that' ideas.
Anything flat is fine. I mostly use the back of a butterknife handle, or the stick side of a wooden spoon. Just drag/push the paste towards the opening. For me it's easier&quicker than rummaging for my rolling pin 😅.
That did look like a mighty soup. I don't have a pressure cooker, but I do have a slow cooker, so my soups take all day "blipping away" - it all works out the same, I just have to wait longer 😄
I love that we have specific devices for cooking soups both very slowly and very fast. As a peasant normal-pot-haver, I desire to expand my collection
That was basically my dinner tonight. It was the last of a batch I made three days ago. It sat in the fridge while I ate something else last night so tonight I finished it off. A microwave heats a bowl nicely.
it looks great doesn't it! i'm a very new cook so was wondering what sort of time you'd recommend for this on the slow cooker? i also don't have a pressure cooker :)
Probably 30 or so minutes, not so hard to wait for after the hard veg has been baked/roasted.
@@satyr1349 thank you :))
Hello Mike.
I just want to say thank you for making videos. I dont have a lot of good days these yares... My helth is poor so I cant make videos as often I would want or enjoy life to it's fullist... but when I watch your videos it gaves me peace. So thank you for everything you do and I hope you and your familie have a helthy and happy 2024! Mare from Slovenia
Sorry you are struggling. All the best to you❤
@@SunnyDays00 thank you Sunny and all best to you too!
My ♥goes out to you, neighbor, wherever you may be. You're right...when we can no longer "do", it's a comfort to "watch". And these videos are soothing.
@@lemoncrinckles thank you
Wishing you an easier 2024, friend. 💖
Mr shrimp! You bring a true beauty to the most mundane. You remind us all that even in life's chores and generally underwhelming tasks once can find love and appreciation in doing it well and with care. Thank you Mike!
Comfort food. Lovely with a thick chunk of freshly baked bread too, although I'm sure it was already filling without that.
My goodness I remember when you were a wee channel and now you're looking straight at a million subscribers. It's well deserved, I'm so glad you've caught on.
I even see people referencing his channel culture in other video comments, although due to similar youtube interests, that's not too surprising.
I do this with my old veg too. I call it Fridge Bottom Soup. Hope you and Jenny had a very Merry Christmas.
I made soup this week too with Turkey carcass/leftovers, parsnip, Celeriac, Carrots, and onion. I even chucked the remains of the cranberry sauce jar into the mix.
I also used a small amount of stock from a slow cooked gammon.
Added some double cream, and blended to a nice creamy smooth soup.
Hope my old man eats more of the soup than he did the Dinner I cooked for him. I'll find out tomorrow I guess.
Thankyou Shrimp for giving me inspiration over the years on how to be creative with very little.
Isn't turkey carcass-based soup the best? My absolute favorite. Wish I could try yours! My Thanksgiving turkey carcass is still in the freezer waiting . . .
That is basically what I call "Fridge Soup". Basically anything getting old or almost used up goes into the pot. Also lentils, barley, beans, you name it and often leftover meat. Some of the best ones I ever made are from the odds & ends. As thick as yours is I call Stoup.( Stew and Soup). I like a bit of L&P sauce and soy sauce for extra flavor, as I often use potatoes which need the extra salt. Good video.
I'm a little ashamed to say I watched one of your last soup videos (the 'mix-and-match' one) many tens of times. Something about its simplicity makes it a great distraction when I need one.
This video is a lovely new substitute for that! Thanks Shrimp.
Another frickin amazing video. Mike never misses
@@RuSosan no just discord early
The absolute legend
The “veg bones” made me chuckle. Thank you for this relaxing video. Like someone said, you really do bring out the beauty of the mundane that I quite enjoy.
I'm always amazed at the versatility of soups/stews. It can literally be a case of throwing a bunch of random things that need to be used before they go bad in a big pot of boiling water, but it almost always turns into a hearty, nutritious, and filling meal that's easy on the budget. It's part of the reason why I love the traditional fall/winter soup season.
Soup is always good. This was yet another lovely food video. I'm still so glad I found your channel ☺
There is something about dishes like this that I really didn't appreciate when I was younger, but now this video makes my mouth water. I learned to love a good soup/stew.
Today is my birthday, and I'm sipping whisky and doing my prep work for the pork loin roast I'll be making. Slicing carrots into thin rounds, dicing potatoes, chopping a giant onion into small slivers that will almost melt in the pressure cooker, adding a touch of gochujang for a bit of kick with some cabbage for color and texture. Watching you make this amazing veggie soup is the perfect thing to have playing as I do my work. May you, Jenny, and of course Eva have a wonderful New Years, sitting by the fire with a bowl of soup and some crusty bread to sop up the liquid.
Got inspired by this and ended up with a really nice pasta
fried finely diced shallots with some ginger, removed from the pan but keep the oil
next I diced up leftover broccoli stem and fennel into small bits and fried it off.
Thought it could use some garlic so fried a fine dice too of a clove.
After that, kept the oil and veggies, boiled some spaghetti in the same pot i fried in, strained the water but then added everything back in for a quick mix.
The garlic and shallots keep that nice familiar base while the ginger and fennel really pair well and make the dish warm.
Looked fantastic. I think the best thing I learned though was that trick with the rolling pin for the tube of tomato paste. Nice!
Your cooking videos are admirable tbh. 👍🏻
I hadn't thought of using a rolling pin on a tube like that. Great idea!
Thank you for another quiet video.
Best wishes for you, Jenny, and all your loved ones, for 2024.
Love your videos. Thanks to you, today i tried wierd stuff in a can. Marshmallow fizzy can drink. Very marshmallow flavor and nice fizzing. Wife got the reference as well so thanks for the good ideas :)
Some of my ancestors would have put a jar of sour cream on the table, some a few slices of bread, serving soup on its own would have been seen as "stingy" in their community.
Sour cream also helps mitigate spicy heat.
I'm from Ukraine and having sour cream and bread on the table is a must❤
huh.
Watching you make this soup was like watching myself making the soup. Everything you did was the stuff I would do: getting the last gasp out of the tube of purée, deglazing the tray, freezing scraps for stick and composting the rest. No waste, just goodness!
I genuinely have to thank you. I have always been a relatively conscientious cook when it comes to using all available parts of my food, but watching your content (especially the budget challenges) has made me rethink my strategies even more. It has now become a running joke between me and my boyfriend for how little waste I can have after I cook, and I'm starting to buy ingredients with multiple uses in mind!
I didn't want a traditional Thanksgiving this year, so we had pulled pork. I was going to just get a cheap, lean cut, but I saw another cut that was a bit larger, just a little more expensive, and it had this huge cap of fat on it that I could use to flavor and fry up other parts of the meal. He was laughing at me when I was all excited, pointing out this slab of fat. "Think of the possibilities~!" 😆 So truly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for sharing these down-to-earth, approachable, and mindful methods of cooking. It's given me more to think about!
This style of cooking takes an inner confidence that comes naturally to some people, but can also be taught. My hope is that your viewers are learning the basis behind cooking with random bits and bobs and gaining confidence to give it a go!
I think you're right. I had to learn it myself (and I'm not done learning yet).
I’m home from college for the holidays. Made soup and sat down and ate it with my dad while watching this video. It was a cozy way to pass 12 minutes, thank you Mr. Shrimp.
After a bit of over indulgence over Christmas I decided tomorrow to make a big vat of vegetable soup. Like you I tend to use whatever I have and bought some extra veg, no two soups are ever the same. I tend to blend mine but it does become a bit baby-food-ish and makes it easier for the kids to gulp down without identifying things they might think they don’t like. I do fancy making a nice chunky one like this though soon, it looks delicious! I shall be adding some lentils after watching this and I might add some bulgar wheat too and save my spuds for something else. Hope you have a great new year!
Fridge cleaning soup! My go-to in the winter for lunches for the work week. I do the same thing in the summer but I usually make salsa or a lentil picadillo. Red lentils work amazing for lentil picadillo since the lentils get really soft and gives it a nice texture.
I do this all the time. It is called summer soup. You take a big pot and throw in summer this and summer that.
honestly this is probably the most important 'recipe' i learned when i first started cooking. if it's the end of the week or you have stuff that needs using up then you can dump basically anything into a soup and it'll end up tasting pretty good
“Soup, soup…a tasty soup, soup” Immediately sprang to mind when I saw the thumbnail! The Mighty Boosh has a lot to answer for 😂
Came for the scambaiting. Stayed for the soup. And all the other bits. Thank you so much for another year of fascinating, eclectic entertainment!
I mean honest with you I don't think I've made a single Atomic shrimp soup recipe but I've made many Atomic shrimp inspired recipes everybody loves my vegetable soup now thanks for being a great inspiration
That is definitely my type of soup. Heaps of veg, some grain/pulses, no recipe - yum!
I love homemade soup 🥣 & so easy to make 🤗Thanks Atomic shrimp 🦐😋
Good to see you tossing the vegetables in tomato puree directly ON the tray, I'm trying to train my partner to cook like this, he is of the school that would toss ingredients in a seperate bowl, which sometimes you end up eating out of later but usually just creates extra washing up.
Yeah, where possible, I try to avoid wasting flavour - like, if there is water to be added, I use the same water to first rinse out that can of tomatoes I added earlier and tip that into the pot
@@AtomicShrimp Yes exactly! It's nice to see someone with the same "optimising" mindset in the kitchen. Not that I watch any other cooking videos to compare, now I think about it.
I don't generally like soup, but that looked so warm and yummy, maybe I'll give soup another chance. Be well
_all we are say-ing..._
One way to get a hint of spice without using hot peppers is to add a pinch of dried dill. It's not actually hot in the same sense as chilies or pepper (completely different chemical composition), but gives a somewhat similar sensation for a moment (just in the mouth and it doesn't linger). To get just the pepper flakes aroma you can use a pinch of sweet pepper powder, just beware it will add a lot of color to the soup as well.
I'm a 20 year old woman who loves to watch a random British guy make soup at one in the morning 😂😂😂 I don't remember when I found this channel, but I do know that it was when I was a teenager and I absolutely love it. It reminds me of watching the BBC cooking shows on PBS when I was growing up
I'm actually using up some random veggies tonight for dinner. I'm making penne pasta with garlic, shallots, tomatoes, and spinach. :) Probably fry up a chicken breast to put in there as well.
Personally when it comes to garlic I just throw the entire bulb in when roasting. No need to chop as when it's fully roasted the garlic just pop right put of the bulb. Deifnitly great for people with lower dexterity but still want flavour.
"I'm not sure whether to call that a soup or a stew"
I have a word. Delicious.
Soup seems to be the only way I actually like eating vegetables, but I usually have to blend them all up haha. Lovely video for a nice rainy day
Zipping some of it in the blender but not all of it is a good way to go.
I love cooking like that, just throwing things together and seeing what happens.
Thank you for your interesting videos on the vast array of subjects.
Happy New Year to you and yours 🎉
I did this during the week with left over bits from Christmas dinner...with freshly sliced sourdough bread and butter, a fine big bowl of soup...delicious
It looks delicious. Will make something along those lines this week.
knowing that I am not the only person who uses the rolling pin to get every last little bit of paste out of a tube is amazingly validating
Hope you and the family had a great Xmas and will have a great new year. Thanks as always for the content this year, looking fwd to 2024 🎉😊
Of all the things you've cooked, this one has made me the most hungry. It looks so good.
When you set this video to 0.25x speed, AtomicShrimp sounds like he's nursing a very bad hangover
I’m making veggie, rice and leftover turkey bits soup. I pressure cooked the bones from the Christmas turkey for my stock. I’ll make cornbread or cheese biscuits to go with it. Nice warming, economical meal and some for the freezer as well. Cheers!
Another modern classic, Mike. Love from Cambridge.
I really like those stock cubes, they're the only ones I could find in the stores that weren't full of a lot of really weird ingredients.
Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you, Jenny and Eva Mike!
Ahh! Moms Mustgo Soup! This is great for the end of cycle fridge cleaning. Also for that bit of meat or 2 leftover chicken wings that aren't suitable for a snack. For this I like to slow and low it til it gets thick. Esp when meat or stickey starches are involved. And it's raining here so tomorrow seems the perfect time to make last sundays hot and sour soup into something awesome!
Thanks Shrimp!
Thrimp....
Grabbin a handful of things and throwing them into soup is the official way to make soup!
Washing lentils: on occasion I have found small stones in lentils that I've gotten from the supermarket here in Sweden, only a few times though.
And as a vegan I've consumed a A LOT of lentils :P
Unless it's a lazy day I do wash my lentils nowdays, but anyone's probably fine skipping it!
These cooking videos are very relaxing. Great vid as always
Great recipe. I do this kind of thing. I call it "bottom of the fridge soup". 😊 I find a teaspoonful of sugar can give a depth of flavour but doesn't actually make it sweet. Sainsburys do a nice low salt malt extract at a reasonable price. I love your videos!
These videos calm me down, thanks Shrimp!
a tip for oversalting is throwing a peeled potato in the dish it will soak up a bit of the salt after useing the potato yxou cant eat it anyxmore
It depends on the lentils if wash or not.
The more common cheap split polished lentils. I don't bother. They've been through enough processing that there is minimal risk of any debris left in them.
Buuut. Those fancy locally grown organic ones that haven't been through several machines between me and the field.
Pick over and wash.
Because yes, there's a few rocks and clods of dirt etc in the bag that have slipped through.
That looks like my vegetable drawer.
Boil everything for a long time, blend and add sour cream.
Great.
The nice thing about soup is that it cuts down a lot on food waste. Even tiny amounts of beans, rice, or pasta, and half an onion, a carrot, and a few other odds and ends will almost always guarantee a tasty soup. I never thought much about roasting some of the ingredients first. I’ll give that a try, next time!
One of our staple dishes is cooked veggies, tin of beans added, half a tub of cream cheese n cheese n oat crumble on top…delicious
Your videos are so calming
spooky...when i recently thought about trying to make a chutney....you then made a chutney video the day after...
then i want to try soup ...and here you are with a soup video
gracias Mike 😁
My wife and i are trying for a baby at the moment and making your videos gives me inspiration for what i want to do with my (please God) future children.
"veg bones" huh! Love your sense of humor mr. Mike :)
I usually boil the gritful bits of veg peelings into the stock as well, and lose a little stock at the end, but I suppose not everyone's a fan of dirt.
Also, wait a sec, you've got laurels growing in your garden? O_O Thought it'll be much too cold for that in England, the more you know!
This is wonderful. It's what my late mum would have called 'Bungit' soup. Always turned out great, too. Yours looks delicious. Thank you.
Enjoyed the video, many thanks.
My mouth is watering! 😋
Happy New Year to you & your family!
When I was a cook when I was younger making soup I found if the soup stock was too salty putting a raw whole potato in and cooking it absorbed some of the salt. Discard it afterwards or compost it ❤
in my house, when we dont know whether to call something a soup or a stew, we call it "slop." tasty, nutritious slop
Going to say that that soup reminds me of meals of yore at my grand parents but also had neck of lamb in it.
I see we have a oneion, and twomato to work with today
My mom made vegetable soup all the time when I was a kid. I couldn’t stand the stuff. Having said that, Mr. Shrimp’s vegetable soup looks delicious!
3:28 i enjoy the term veg bones too much hahaha
I take very mild umbrage with "just vegetables" when you include mushrooms!
I LOVE your mushrooms jar. I'm saving the jars from my Yankee Candles for pickles ❤
This looks good, I'd probably have personally blended it - I don't like chunks of vegetables in my soup mostly, just texture preference, but I can imagine the flavor profile here. In Poland we use buckwheat a lot and you can actually buy it already toasted - I recommend using it with some butter or maybe even yogurt as your carb for the meal sometime.
I highly recommend adding a few tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter to a soup/stew like you've made here, it gives it a lovely satay flavour :D
You can hardly go wrong when doing a vegetables soup.
Veg soups like this are the best, and different every time, depending on what you have to hand at the time. Lovely video, as always with our Shrimp.
Ooh, you mentioned buckwheat flour and that made my mind run amock with an idea that maybe one day we're going to get a video on this channel on creating buckwheat flower and baking something with it!
Also, that soup looks absolutely delish! It's also what I'd call a soup, too - it was a bit of a shock to the system when I moved to UK and found that "soup" is more known to be a blended veg thing, which I like to call a "hot smoothie", where as soup to me always have some sort of chunky veg (and other things) in it. I know that those kinds of soups also exist, but they don't appear to be as popular as the blended version.
Yeah, 'soup' is subject to some weird gatekeeping by people who insist it has to be smooth in texture, because anything else is a stew. I don't know where they get that from; it is not a rule.
@AtomicShrimp thank you for the answer! Didn't realise there was such gatekeeping in the soup...fanbase?
Disclaimer: I don't think "soup fanbase" is made of soup fans, unlike its vegetable/chicken/beef/fish counterparts.
My grandma always hid the fact she used stewed tomatoes in her veggie soup for years. Was where all the flavor was.
Another cooking video im so happy.
That rolling pin trick is genius
I've been very busy over November and December and realised I haven't watched an Atomic Shrimp video properly in way too long. Very nice to sit back down and come back to the same welcoming Shrimp aura
This looks like What do I have in Fridge soup.
Soup a hug in a bowl.
We make a big pan on Sundays have for a couple of meals and freeze rest but as some go in freezer we take out couple of containers for next few days so a never ending supply of hugs in a bowl.
I have finally got my husband freezing Veg ends and peelings along with any bones. When bag is full a few herbs, seasoning and a individual stock at the ready.
We both had Covid husband down for 2 weeks and myself not testing clear for 6 weeks running up to Christmas and still have symptoms, how glad we were for home made soup and when even that to much to eat our freezer bag of peeling made into stock to drink.
I used to swear by making soup on Stove now fully converted to preasure cooker.
I wish I could persuade my daughter who was so scared of my mums preasure cooker hissing, spitting and rattling she is a firm nope I have a challange on my hands.
Wishing all A New Year that brings Joy but acknowledging there will also be sad times but like each season follows the other and round it goes sadness will pass or become easier to live with. 💜
don't hesitate to put some spices like paprika and cumin in there which will change the flavor profile greatly. Same goes for herbs. Parsley and coriander/cilantro are king here.
celeriac and leeks are great blender soup precursors too, so consider that option should you have a blender. If you don't, just mash the them after cooking them even longer. a blender soup has a mouthfeel that you can't imitate
Also, one last thing, if you're really out of luck and you don't have any lentils or any legumes for that matter, a simple way of thickening up a soup is to just add a very wet slurry of wheat flour and water which will thicken your blended soup. the flour will be cooked out by the time you're done and you won't even feel it.
Soup is the best! Especially with some bread or tortellini 😋
I remember being very ill with tonsillitis and the flu and good soup always just unblocks the nose and tastes fantastic
i love the amount of paprika added, i am an absolute fiend for paprika
