Anji is back at YouTube Space LA for the 3rd video shot in their cute retro kitchen set. This time she’s making a delicious raw chili style soup that’s packed with fresh veggies and comes with lots of options. Smooth or chunky, simple or complicated, make it however you prefer! Lightly warmed, or even chilled, this is a refreshing meal for a hot summer night. Ryan and I were stoked to wolf down a bowl at the end of a long day filming 3 episodes back-to-back. 🙂
