From Lipton Packets to a $44 Heritage Chicken Consommé: Babish Builds 10 Levels of Chicken Noodle Soup
Babish and co-host Brad work through 10 escalating versions of chicken noodle soup, starting with Lipton instant mix and Campbell's canned varieties, climbing through rotisserie-chicken shortcuts and Greek avgolemono, and culminating in a two-day fine-dining masterpiece featuring a pressure-cooked heritage chicken consommé, sous vide chicken breast, housemade pastatelli noodles, and infused chicken schmaltz. The video blends genuine cooking instruction with deadpan comedy and honest tasting notes at every level.
