It's a sunny and pleasant day today
but by the time you see this video it's going to be chilly
and rainy and that means it's soup season.
I'm Sean Timberlake, food and dining reporter for
the Sacramento Bee. I'm here at Cerveceria
in East Sacramento where they are running their red pozole
and their birria ramen all season long
but also Chef Rafi is doing changing rotating specials
including starting off with his chicken noodle soup
and through the season he'll be changing it up
different soups as he's baking them,
all inspired by his upbringing in Michoacán, Mexico.
I'm going to be doing some soups of what I grew up eating
when my mom cooked
in the winter time.
It was just like very traditional soups. When we get sick,
like she knows what to do.
She knows what soup to give us, like some chicken soup with rice.
There is also like some from Jalisco
and there's some different types of soup that we can make
make it happen in here.
Okay so with the soup mushrooms
and beef that's something that my grandfather had a farm and
with cows and all those things.
So that's where we farm the mushrooms
and my mom comes with some braised beef kind of
Tomato based, it's kind of thick soup with red sauce
and she kind of like to start the
mushrooms and add into the soup and it kind of gives a good flavor.
So I'm gonna bring in
back some of the soup that we used to have before.
That's a seafood pozole. I want to
kind of like elevate it a little bit.
We're going to be doing some albondigas,
also like my mom's recipe albondigas.
It's going to be slightly different and
People already know what's albondigas,
some people those with bread, some people those with rice and
I'm gonna try to make it just with none of those ingredients
but different stuff so it'll be good.
