(this is stolen wholesale from a post I saw last year. It’s trying to recreate the soup Brock serves at the start of the first Pokemon movie. My comments in parentheses)
Pokemon soup
¾ lb bacon, beef or chicken or a meat of your choice
1 medium onion, diced.
2-4 cloves Garlic minced (I use about a tablespoon of the pre-diced stuff)
¾ lb carrot, cleaned, peeled and diced.
3 sticks of celery, washed and diced.
2 lbs potatoes. Washed, peeled diced in quarters.
1 head of broccoli.
8 cups of stock of your preference. I recommend using the bones of the beef or chicken, but veggies stock works too for a vegetarian or vegan version.
3 tablespoons all purpose flour.
1 cup whole milk. (can substitute plant based milks)
½ cup heavy cream.
Salt and black pepper to taste.
½ teaspoon paprika, use the spicy one to get the warmth up a notch in winter.
1 tablespoon fresh chopped coriander. Optional. 1 cup diced gouda or manchego cheese. (Optional) Make sure you have all your ingredients ready and at hand for this one to make sure it comes out nice and tasty!!! In a pot put water and the bones to prepare your stock You can use premade or bouillon cubes, just make sure its 8 cups worth of broth. In a different pot boil the potatoes until soft. In a big pot put some butter or olive oil to fry the onion, when it turns a little transparent add the garlic, move constantly. Add the celery and diced carrots, moving constantly. (You can add some finely cut cilantro at this step. I think it adds a lot) The carrot will get a little brighter in color, add the diced meat. Salt and pepper to your taste. Meanwhile, blend the potatoes with enough stock so your blender wont have trouble blending. (If you don’t wanna, you can just mash the potatoes or use instant mashed potatoes to save some time) Add the remaining stock to your big pot with the veggies and meat, add the broccoli chopped in bite size pieces. Add the paprika and taste for salt and pepper. Let over a medium fire for 10 min. Separate 3 tbsp of the stock to mix with the flour, set aside. This will be a thickening agent. Pour the potato mix on the big pot, move to integrate and taste for salt and pepper. Add the milk and heavy cream. Move with a laddle. Have a final taste and let over low fire for 5 min. Serve hot and decorate with a pinch of coriander and some cubes of cheese. (This soup is excellent with some toasted French or Italian bread)
