"I don't care about my friends anymore. I just want soup." I like this guy.

That's a very easy recipe for gumbo. 👍 I get that we all have oil, flour, cayenne, garlic and sugar handy but ya gotta add the cost of those two sticks of butter. 😀 Fun episode.

Next time I have soup, I am TOTALLY using "Soup, there it is!" OMG

Can you post the recipes in the description box, thanks!

Hi Lindsay,

I think the concept of the video is actually quite compelling. Cooking a large meal for cheap is something a lot of people might enjoy. However, you don’t need to tell a story, maybe just go to the store and cook. Leave Juan and such out. Then I think you might really have something. Cheers.

Not sure what kinda of soup that was, but it wasn’t gumbo.
