WE NEED A CUTTING BOARD
AND A GOOD KNIFE.

COMFORTABLE USING A KNIFE,
ASK FOR HELP.

HERE COME THE WATERWORKS.

[Dramatic music plays]

[Maksim laughing]

A tear runs down Pradnesh’s cheek.

Pradnesh says, THAT WAS ROUGH.

Maksim jokingly says, IT'S OKAY, BUDDY.

[Rhythmic music continues]

Maksim says, NOW, LET'S PEEL
THIS SWEET POTATO
BY HOLDING IT IN YOUR HAND,
AND PEELING IT AWAY FROM YOU.

He peels a sweet potato. Text reads, 1 sweet potato. Pradnesh guides his diced onion off his cutting board and into a glass board using his knife.

He says, WHEN YOU'RE DONE, CUT THEM
INTO SMALL SLICES.
PLACE THEM ON THE FLAT SIDE,
ON THE BOARD,
AND CUT THEM INTO THREE TO FOUR
PIECES EACH.

Pradnesh cuts up his peeled sweet potato.

He says, THE NEXT STEP IS TO PLACE A
LARGE SAUCEPAN OVER MEDIUM HEAT.

Pradnesh places a large pot on a cooktop and adjusts the temperature settings.

Maksim says, ADD THREE TABLESPOONS
OF CHICKEN BROTH AND THE ONIONS.

Text reads, 3 tablespoons [45 milliliters]. Maksim pours chicken broth into the pot.

[Sizzling]

Pradnesh adds his diced onions to the pot.

He moves the onions around the pot using a wooden spoon.

Pradnesh says, THEN, ADD THE BUTTERNUT CUBES.

He pours butternut squash cubes into the pot. Text reads, 750 grams [1.7 lbs].

Maksim says, AND THE SWEET POTATO CUBES.

He slides his diced sweet potato cubes off his cutting board. Some fall into the pot while others fall onto the counter.

Maksim and Pradnesh both say, OH!

They drop fallen sweet potato cubes into the pot. Pradnesh mixes the ingredients together with the wooden spoon.

He says, ADD THE CURRY POWDER AND MIX
IT ALL WELL
WITH THE OTHER INGREDIENTS.

Text reads, 1 tablespoon [15 milliliters]. Pradnesh adds the curry powder to the pot. He holds a handle on the side of the pot and mixes everything together.

OR UNTIL THE VEGETABLES
ARE TENDER.

Pradnesh adjusts the temperature of the bubbling liquid and starts a timer. Text reads, 30 minutes. Maksim and Pradnesh clean up their workspace. They wipe the table.

[Alarm beeping]

Text reads, Ready!

Maksim pulls a cube of butternut squash from the pot using a fork.

He says, IT'S READY!

Pradnesh says, NOW, WE'LL PREPARE
THE HAND BLENDER,
SINCE WE'RE USING IT DIRECTLY
IN THE POT.
CAREFUL, IT'S REALLY HOT!

Maksim says, DON'T PLUG IN THAT BLENDER
UNTIL YOU'RE READY TO USE IT,
AND UNPLUG IT AS SOON
AS YOU'RE DONE.

Pradnesh says, TURN IT ON UNTIL YOU HAVE A
NICE SMOOTH AND CREAMY TEXTURE.

With the pot on the counter, Pradnesh carefully blends the curried butternut squash soup ingredients together with a hand blender.

[Blender whirring]

Pradnesh stops and takes the blender out of the pot.

Maksim says, I THINK IT'S READY.

Pradnesh ladles the soup into a bowl. He and Maksim try a spoonful of the soup.

Together they say, THIS IS AMAZING!
