DAN: What was that chunk?
PHIL: Stop I don't even know what that was
D: What is that pink thing?
P: Soup. I hate it!
It's my other nemesis aside from cheese.
If you watched my last cheese video, where I was trying that,
I feel pretty similar feelings about soup.
First of all, is it a food or is it a drink?
What's going on?
Am I swallowing? Am I chewing?
Am I gulping?
Why would you want all these delicious food types to be blended together?
Like some kind of mummy bird, just sicking it into my mouth.
I don't want it.
I think I've eaten about three bowls of soup in my life,
Honestly,
And all of those times, I've been forced in some kind of social pressure situation
where I'm sat at a table and they're like "Oh, I've made you some soup!"
And I'm like (pained soup noises) "Mmm, blended food"
So today, I'm gonna try some,
And see if I can get over this
'Cause it's holding me back in life. I want to enjoy it!
I want to be like, "Mm, yes Timothy, pass me the extra Minestrone." But no, I'm not.
Before I forget, we've still got some Dan & Phil & Cats Calenders in stock,
So if you wanna grab one before the new year starts, you can.
Also our shop is powered by Shopify.
Which is sponsoring this video, thank you very much.
More on that later.
I've got a little weasel behind the camera
- (gremlin voice) What up?
- (laughs) Here he is, Agent of chaos.
- Today I'm gonna be the dealer of liquids - Oh, God.
D: I'm gonna get this microwussy waving
-As usual, I don't know what I'm gonna be trying.
D: I love soup. I do not understand you.
When you are cold, there is nothing that will warm your heart
like a hearty bowl of souP.
I have procured for you a selection, a spectrum of soup.
P: Are some of them gay?
D: I wanna get you in on the ground floor, I wanna get you to acknowledge
that there is something to soup. P: Fine, okay.
D: And then I'm gonna tease you on an insidious journey of learning and growth
Until you're just absolutely gagging to guzzle that goop right at the end.
P: (laughs) Oh my god. D: Now Phil, what people liked
about your cheese video is that you went into it with an open mind.
P: My mind is open! D: You wanted your life to be less
impacted by the cheese hate. P: Yes.
D: So you have to go into this wanting soup to be a part of your life.
P: I'm gonna imagine the soup is the gay bar, and I'm recently out of the closet.
I'm gonna go in there with my open... D: Oh-kay.
P: Maybe by the end of it, I'll be pouring soup all over my...
D: Okay, and then I'm out. Static and beep.
D: And before anyone says, 'why am I not giving Phil a delicious slice
of buttered bread as well' P: Yes!
D: I will say this to you, Phil the thing with soup, honestly,
Is it's just a vehicle for the bread. It's just spicy bread lube.
That's all that's going on there. P: Yeah.
D: I don't want this video to just be you enjoying 10 slices of bread.
P: I'd love that!
D: This is about the soup, so you will NOT get the bread,
You must focus on the liquid. P: Fine.
D: First up, catch! P: Ah! Ow!
D: Yeah, sorry, I just threw a full can of soup at you.
P: Soup is hard! D: That is not an easy catch item.
P: My chest isn't strong. What is this?
D: We are kicking off with the ultimate go-to.
P: Aww, no. D: Phil, you cannot have a strong opinion on this.
P: I have a strong opinion. D: This is the point -
you literally cannot have a strong opinion on this.
P: When anyone is- D. Heinz. Tomato. Soup.
P: Wait, it's not tomato soup, it's cream of tomato.
D: Cream of tomato. P: How do you cream a tomato?
D: I've got some good questions. How'd you get those tomatoes creaming?
P: What are they doing to them? D: What're they doing?
Do you like ketchup? P: In small quantities
D: Then what the fu-[bark]-ck? P: I don't want to neck
a whole glass of of it!
Do I have to shake it first?
D: I don't know, that might make it explode.
P: Whenever someone cooks this in a house,
I'm like "(disgusted noises) smells delicious!"
When really, I want to leave.
Da da da music
D: I have peeled the can. Look at it.
P: Oh! It's so orange.
D: Look at that primordial liquid.
P: Oh, it doesn't smell good.
D: It doesn't smell good?
P: It smells like pure ketchup. It smells like someone's grandma's house.
I have never eaten tomato soup in my life.
D: Present it. Look at that. That is the ultimate object. No way!
P: I hate tomatoes and I hate soup.
D: People that are normal are looking at you like
"Shut the [bark] up and drink the soup!"
P: People out there don't like other foods, right?
Look if you don't like broccoli, you're not gonna want to eat it on camera. Ok.
D: Why are you holding the spoon like someone that has never held a spoon before?
P: I'm an alien in human skin. D: (unintelligible snark)
P: Ah! Okay, oh God. D: Come on.
P: I don't like - I don't want it!
D: You gonna blow on it? (Phil blowing air loudly, laughing)
D: Yeah, do the thing, oh yeah.
P: Count me down. D: Shut up! 3,2,1
(Very dramatic music.)
P: Ew. That is like eating ketchup!
Why would anyone want a whole bowl of ketchup?
D: (cackles)
P: It's not horrible, okay.
D: It is the midness of a tomato. It is literally the most mid thing in the world.
P: Yeah.
D: With a little bit of cream to make it creamy,
and then a little bit of spice to make it interesting. Have one more spoon
Think of it as just the midness of tomato. P: I'm dipping something in some fries.
D: A little bit of cream - P: I'm dipping. Here we go.
D: Warming spices, cream of tomato.
P: No. Nah. Euh. D: Really?
P: It's too strong! It's like - I don't want,
D: Who's paying you to have this reaction?
P: Where's the spice? There's no spices. You kept saying it's spicy!
D: You can smell the spice!
P: That's never been near a spice.
D: What do you thing a [bark]ing tomato tastes like?
P: Horrible. D: Agh..
P: The aftertaste isn't so bad. I'm not a hater, I'll give it a four.
D: And would you say you were drinking it or eating it?
P: I was drinking that.
D: Did your mouth go (ASMR mouth noise.)?
I think if you put the soup in your mouth and you do one (mouth noise), it's eating.
P: I think it was a frink. I'm not on the soup train yet.
D: Well good, I'm going to give you a reprieve, because now --
P: Do not launch it at my face
D: No. Before we go forward, we're going to step backwards.
P: Alright
D: And in the genre of things that could be considered soups, (P: Yes)
there are several things that are not really soup.
The first of which is A Cup of Soup. P: Cup of Soup?
D:Notice how even though it's a completely different brand, it is once again -
P: Cream! D: Cream!
D&P: Cream of Vegetable D: With croutons
P: We've got a carrot, we've got a pea, we've got a leek,
And there's four croutons.
D: Are there any ingredients you don't like here? Come on, man.
P: I like all of these things.
D: Well, Phil you're about to take this to the next level,
Cause this one is gonna have chunks. P: Ehww, chunky.
(Da da da music)
D: Here is your soup P: Ooh, powdery
D: All the best things come in suspicious saches
P: I'm feeling some chunks.
D: And Phil, here is your vehicle. P: Thank you.
What'd happen if I snorted it?
D: Let's find out. Now we're getting to the real views.
P: Ooh, it's not an appealing color. D: Why is that nuclear green?
P: Here we go -- D: Ohhoh, little chunks!
P: Ehhm, can't wait for my snack!
It smells like sour cream & onion Pringles D: Wait a minute, what?
Here is your cream of vegetable soup with croutons.
P: Ohh, that is an unappealing look. (laughs, scared)
D: It's so colorful! P: Yes.
D: And bright P: I'm so happy to have this in my life,
I've been so cold in those mines D: yeah, slurp those chunks
P: Ok, it's not that bad D: That was a journey!
That was a [bark]ing journey! You are a complex animal, Phil Lester.
P: (laughing) Stop! D: What is going on? It's a Cup of Soup.
P: I'm just scared of it. Right, here's the thing-
D: Take a gulp! P: I did it! I did a gulp.
D: No, a huge [bark]ing gulp. yeah, come on, swallow a bit
P: Mm. There's a chunk! D: Oh yeah.
P: Do I chew? D: Yes, you chew the crouton.
You don't just swallow it like a pill, you maniac (P: laughs)
D: It's not a punishment, it's bread. P: I'm struggling.
The flavor's not too bad, it's alright. It's like Pringles.
D: So -
