okay what is the first step in the
yemenai soup okay we are going to Brown
our Meats a little oil shake it all
around and here this is are you ready
I'm ready here we go in three two
we could put a little bit salt and
pepper okay
foreign
[Music]
into this bowl
and get the situation going
so we're going to set this meat aside
for uno momento now your friends are
going in
here we go another sizzle
what's that oh so this is a thing my
mother she boils water and then she puts
chicken into the water scrapes up all
the chickens yeah gum it's actually a
term of cooking is it really yeah it's
called scum so she scums that thing off
yeah and then
um then she puts in the vegetables and
cilantro I like Browning it first and
also my mother was like why are you
putting a carrot in your soup
and I was like yeah yeah all right so
you don't have to put carrots in but you
can you do you do you you could add the
potatoes later because they get too
Mushy Mushy but I'm like ain't nobody
got time for that right busy mom
busy moms
and now we're going to let this oh also
the Tomato tomatoes are you a tomato or
a tomato I am a tomato girl I am a
tomato
I like making them really big like this
okay why it breaks down yeah and I just
like the flavor I don't really a lot of
people don't put tomato in there I like
it this is really a shimmy yeah
you do you yeah you do you there are no
rules and we're gonna let this I think
simmer with yemenite soup I think the
rule is so long as it has hawaiiish it's
yemenai too speaking about Hawaii ladies
and gentlemen don't say I didn't warn
you how wide if it stains zelle it's
over it's no cleaners no Seltzer nothing
it's over you ever got stainless you
know why it's turmeric that does it it's
anything with turmeric you can kiss your
clothes that's turmeric and everything
because you haven't actually spicy your
mouth it is not spicy it's just
flavorful well spicy nut isn't hot but
it's flavorful but you make it spicy
when you put
it how much food you want to put in and
I brought it I bought you red sugar and
Green's home I'm very Ashkenazi will I
bear my mouth out come on is it going to
become yemenotized today I can't wait I
love it do you know that my grandmother
by the way got married at age 14. I
asked my mother where is Safta from and
she said from yarim I was like I thought
she was from Sana or Sana and she's like
no yahim it's like
two separate places right but she was
more like from a village so your parents
your grandmother went from Yemen to
Israel that's right your parents came
they're Israelis the Israeli and my
father's from Casablanca go Moroccans
hey every time I see Moroccan I'm like
oh my God I'm Moroccan I say yeah I mean
I'm like Hey we're sisters I'm a player
so cool I'm just asking I feel like I'm
a little boring I feel like I'm a little
boy you're not boring look I mean look
at you what is this boring by the way am
I astronauts friends they eat more spicy
food spicier Foods than me like I'm like
and they're like this is a joke
you know I love doing this because when
I pour the water
it will already be a beautiful color
without even the spices yet so I'm very
excited I think we're ready to go okay
what's that mix so now we put all the
chickens you know how you put turkey
necks in chicken soup another great
addition to chicken soup
chicken next and I don't put it in the
net no no no no this name when I've been
to Israel and I've gone to these like
small little towns I'll have like a
yemenite restaurant and I have like
these on like a Thursday special that
have these big bowls of yemenot soup
that come with the LA fan
I love it I love it we need one here in
the United States I'm opening it up but
okay let's go you know what I what I'm
gonna have when I have my restaurant in
order to enter
you're gonna have to smile the door's
not gonna open there's gonna be a
scanner and if you walk in like this you
ain't coming to my restaurant and wear
it too my stitches is like you know I
can't watch the snake do that oh the the
legs we're using pokies is that what
they're called in pokies that's in
Yiddish or drumsticks
you do like it with the skin or without
the skin in the soup with the skin with
the skin that's where it's at and I'm
telling you those chicken necks you eat
them like like with your hands and like
my mother loves them in the Edition I
think it's called a herizol this is just
an added yum flavor flavor and soup
right by the way there's nothing like
when you take out the marrow from a
challenge oh and you put it on the
Lahore
here we go
all right and now a lot of people like
dicing it no no no just like that what
is this boom this is cilantro I love
I love it what happened the difference
between parsley and cilantro
but what happens if you don't like
cilantro I love you cilantro are you a
cilantro or cilantro are you a team
we call this coriander in Australia oh
coriander yes yes
okay it has a smell good let's measure
how much there is here I want to say
almost
a handful of love this is two to three
fistfuls right yeah two to three I don't
take these off but a lot of people do
yeah okay no it's good that's where the
flavor is yeah so what's next all right
now while this is awesome ring we're
gonna do the spaces and then pour the
water in okay first I have a thing salt
pepper garlic onion that's like okay
yeah yep even even these little salts
all right let's go salt all right so now
we're gonna do the onion powder no black
pepper first a black pepper
hey we're gonna be the onion
now
Hawaii's is the secret
to life
it is so good it is a mixture of like
all ingredients best is to get it in
Israel yeah like like a real like the
real spices it's a great spice blend oh
my God smell it
but there's also Hawaii for coffee so
make sure you get the Hawaii for soup
such a good car and not the Hawaiian
this is the worst soup I'm like okay
I got you back here it's Hawaii's
foreign
a Gmail right right and this is turmeric
my mother says we shouldn't put it in
we're gonna add about your nose then I'm
gonna apply it
see look at this remember what I told
you it stands okay I dare you to taste
it no I'm gonna watch it fast too we're
taking a washing break back on set let's
go okay I'm adding one tablespoon no
more chicken and if you see that you
want MSG free now we I guess need the
water right the water so you start
pouring I just want to say one thing you
don't want it to be like too watery
right you want to get all the flavors
you know not drowned out true so I
always put enough water to the top of
the vegetable line yeah I put a little
more because I like soup like just the
bra I love yeah so extra so you do a
little bit extra so with yemenites you
don't need to worry about like I guess
with chicken soup you can just no matter
how much water you add there's probably
enough right I think the same with this
I think we need to add the meat back in
now right so let's grab the meat
alrighty pour it in you're the poorer
for today I'm the poorer mess with that
pouring I think do we need more water I
think so okay so we want to get as much
water as we can we want everything
covered and then some okay all right
great oh
I'm there okay pour in the water so
with yemeni tip we just want to use as
much water as we can
it's got all those flavors they're
splashing but that's okay because again
it's overflowing with love it's okay so
we're bringing that to the boil and I
just want to tell you something you see
this color there you go I just want to
see that Hawaiian color
come out like you want it to be that
dark do you know what I'm saying that
looks amazing It's gotta be sure
I don't mess okay standing all right so
we're going to cover this and let this
simmer for two hours
we'll see you in two hours

scratch like you put it in on in another
pot you take the lava and you cut into
little little pieces yeah and tons of
them like a bunch of laughs like little
pieces like that yeah and then you pour
the soup over it and let it simmer for
like a long time so the bread and the
