How to Make the Ratatouille Movie Soup Recipe at Home

Ratatouille is an animated movie that was released in 2007. The movie was a true success after its release, and it’s still popular. Not only do fans have a high opinion of the main characters in the movie, but many also enjoy making ratatouille soup to eat at home.

If you’ve seen the movie and you’re interested in making the ratatouille movie soup for yourself and your family at home, then here are some tips, some interesting and helpful facts, as well as the recipe.

What Exactly is the Dish Ratatouille?

Rataouille is a popular French vegetable dish that consists of eggplant, zucchini, onions, green peppers, tomatoes, and garlic. It can be served either hot or cold, depending on a person’s preference.

Furthermore, due to its versatility, ratatouille can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or even as a main dish. Many people who had never heard of ratatouille until seeing the movie believed that it was a dish created specifically for the movie.

However, the dish ratatouille wasn’t created just for the movie, as it has been around for quite some time. In fact, while the movie was released in 2007, the original dish was created in France in 1877, more than a century before the movie was even thought of being made.

Writers merely believed that the dish ratatouille was the perfect food to be featured in the movie, by making it into a delicious soup.

Does Remy Make Ratatouille Soup in the Movie?

Yes, Remy does, in fact, prepare ratatouille soup in the movie. The ratatouille soup that he makes is actually “confit byaldi,” which is a variation of the original dish that makes it appear even more delicious than the original version.

That is why it’s made in soup form in the movie, which makes it look so mouth-watering that viewers often wish they had a bowl of it while watching the movie. Here is the recipe, so you can make a batch whenever you’re in the mood for some, whether you’re going to be watching the movie or not.

Ratatouille Movie Soup Recipe – Remy’s Soup

Ingredients

• 6 tbsp of butter, unsalted
• 1 large chopped yellow onion
• 2 chopped leeks
• 4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 (28 oz) can of diced tomatoes that have been pureed in a blender
• 1 tbsp of sugar
• 1 cup of white wine, or if you prefer, use 1 cup of water instead
• 5 cups of chicken broth
• 1/3 cup of cubed parmesan cheese
• 1 tbsp of finely chopped fresh thyme
• 1 tbsp of fresh basil, finely chopped
• 4 bay leaves
• 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper
• Sea salt, to taste
• Cracked black pepper, to taste
• 2 cups of heavy cream
• 1/2 cup of fresh chopped parsley
• Fined chopped green onion, for garnish (optional)

Cooking Instructions

1. Melt the butter in a large pot.
2. Add the onion and cook until tender and almost translucent, which should take about 3 minutes or so.
3. Add in the leeks and garlic and cook until the onions are completely translucent, which is approximately 2 more minutes.
4. Next, add the pureed tomatoes and stir. Add the sugar and black pepper and stir the soup an additional time. Next, you can add in the white wine.
5. Bring it to a boil and then reduce the heat, letting simmer for 10 minutes, which is about the time it takes the wine to be reduced. After this time, the liquid will become thick, and the steam will no longer smell of alcohol.
6. Pour in the chicken broth. Now add the cubes of parmesan, thyme, basil, bay leaves, cayenne pepper and sea salt. Reduce heat to low, cover and let simmer for about 20 minutes.
7. Remove lid. Add in the heavy cream and parsley. Recover and let simmer an additional 10 minutes on low.

Can Any Substitutions or Additions Be Made to the Soup?

Yes, there is always room to make additions and substitutions when you make this soup as well as any other recipes. When it comes to additions, many people add in white potatoes, basil pesto, and even fresh oregano.

Adding in these ingredients shouldn’t make too much of a difference in the recipe, and it might even enhance the flavor further. Some people add in yellow squash, eggplant, zucchini squash, and similar vegetables.

Make the recipe your own, but try not to vary it too much or it will no longer be “Remy’s Ratatouille soup.”
