So-- 00:11:51.71\00:11:54.24 Because I look like potato. 00:11:54.28\00:11:55.61 No, you don't look. And I love mushrooms. 00:11:55.64\00:11:56.98 But I know how much you love them. 00:11:57.01\00:11:59.05 And so, what I do is, 00:11:59.08\00:12:00.48 I look around my house when I'm creating, 00:12:00.52\00:12:01.85 what do I have in my fridge? 00:12:01.88\00:12:03.22 That's what I do.

00:20:49.84\00:20:52.75 I'm going to-- this is my cornstarch, 00:20:52.78\00:20:56.48 and like we've said previously, 00:20:56.52\00:20:58.49 you always add it to a cold 00:20:58.52\00:21:03.06 and so I'm gonna add that, 00:21:03.09\00:21:04.56 and also if you like a thinner soup, 00:21:04.59\00:21:08.40 you cannot put it quite as much cornstarch. 00:21:08.43\00:21:13.80 I like it thick and my husband likes it thick, 00:21:13.84\00:21:16.60 so I've put in the extra. 00:21:16.64\00:21:21.34 If there's-- its some sort of soup, 00:21:22.08\00:21:23.41 there's some soups I really preferred to be a thin soup, 00:21:23.45\00:21:26.35 there's other soups that just taste good 00:21:26.38\00:21:28.02 if they're a little bit thicker, hardy. 00:21:28.05\00:21:29.38 And in some you want a brothy, 00:21:30.79\00:21:32.32 more brothy and not a creamy soup. 00:21:32.35\00:21:35.86 I like a nice thick creamy soup. 00:21:35.89\00:21:37.89 Yeah. 00:21:37.93\00:21:39.29 And it gets thick, pretty fast. 00:21:39.33\00:21:42.83 So, I'm gonna take and pour it in, now, 00:21:42.86\00:21:47.64 and this is our almond milk, 00:21:47.67\00:21:50.57 make sure you get all that in. I like-- 00:21:50.61\00:21:52.51 You can-- there's people that-- 00:21:52.54\00:21:54.88 if you don't have almond milk and you have soymilk, 00:21:54.91\00:21:57.15 you could probably use a substitute, 00:21:57.18\00:21:58.95 it's just a flavor. 00:21:58.98\00:22:00.38 Use your favorite, 00:22:00.42\00:22:01.75 'cause everybody has favorites. I mean-- 00:22:01.78\00:22:03.65 I hardly-- I don't even buy soymilk anymore, 00:22:03.69\00:22:06.76 my family just loves the almond milk 00:22:06.79\00:22:08.92 and so that's why, what we drink in our home, 00:22:08.96\00:22:10.86 so it's usually what I cook with. 00:22:10.89\00:22:12.59 But I will tell you-- is that up high? 00:22:12.63\00:22:15.86 I will tell you, I don't-- Use like the coconut milk, 00:22:15.90\00:22:20.50 I save that for different recipes, 00:22:20.54\00:22:22.60 but this is a real savory recipe 00:22:22.64\00:22:24.21 and I didn't like the flavor, 00:22:24.24\00:22:26.41 and so I did a-- that's why I did 00:22:26.44\00:22:28.08 the almond or the soy, 00:22:28.11\00:22:30.11 'cause you don't want the flavor of your milk 00:22:30.15\00:22:32.48 to overpower your soup. 00:22:32.51\00:22:34.18 Make sure when you're getting your milk 00:22:34.22\00:22:35.68 that you don't get the vanilla flavored almond milk- 00:22:35.72\00:22:37.55 Yes, yes. 00:22:37.59\00:22:38.92 You know, that's kind of a problem. 00:22:38.95\00:22:40.29 Yes, I said original flavor. 00:22:40.32\00:22:42.96 And I use sometimes the vanilla flavored ones, 00:22:42.99\00:22:45.79 like when I make cookies or cakes or something like that. 00:22:45.83\00:22:49.53 Right, and for the sweeter ones 00:22:49.56\00:22:51.47 you don't need the unsweetened. 00:22:51.50\00:22:52.87 So right.
