Save the Date: Our Video in 2019 Summit!

Hey hey! Bjork here, bringing you the news of the century.

Okay, maybe not “of the century.” But definitely of these next few days.

But before I get to that, I have some questions for you:

1. Are you a content creator always looking for the “next big thing” to help your content stand out?
2. Do you wish you could make recipe videos like the ones you see on social media and here on Pinch of Yum? Or maybe you’re looking for a way to refine your video-making process to really help your videos stand out?
3. Do you like free stuff?

If you answered “yes!” to these questions, you are in luck, my friend.

Food Blogger Pro is holding an awesome free event this Tuesday, November 6, and you’re invited.

It’s called the Video in 2019 Summit, and it’s where you’ll learn how to improve your recipe videos in the new year!

Let’s play a game: guess how many video views Pinch of Yum recipe videos have gotten on Facebook in the past year and a half.

200,000?

What about 500,000?

1 million?

5 million?

Much, much higher. 41.8 million. That’s 41.8 million extra times that our content was seen over just producing recipes and blog posts alone.

That’s pretty incredible, right? And super telling of the current climate of the content creator space.

Videos are part of our social strategies, our sponsored content contracts, our blog posts, and so much more. And if you’re ready to start making or fine-tune videos for your own brand, the Video in 2019 Summit is for you.

Sign up for the free, virtual Video in 2019 Summit today <–

We’ll have three sessions throughout the day (which, by the way, are totally virtual so you can attend in your PJs):

11 am CT:

Session 1 – The Gear We Use for Pinch of Yum’s Recipe Videos

Camera, tripods, and monitors…oh my! Our wonderful Video Specialist, Emily, will be chatting all about the tools and gear she uses to produce the recipe videos you see on Pinch of Yum. There’s *a lot* that goes into the final videos that end up on the blog or on our social channels, and Emily will unpack all of that information for you. She’ll even give you tips on the best set-up for shooting multiple angles to keep your videos lookin’ fancy.

1 pm CT:

Session 2 – 10 Tips for Leveling Up Your Recipe Videos in 2019

This is where we’ll go into the nitty-gritty stuff. We’ll be focusing this session on the techniques, tips, and tricks that really make our videos pop and help to engage our followers.

Emily, Jenna (our Communications Manager), and I will be talking about the importance of hooks, storyboarding, making animated doodles, working with sponsors, and so much more. These 10 pointers will help your videos stand out and turn you into a video-making machine!

3 pm CT:

Session 3 – Recipe Video Q&A

We’ll talk through *a lot* during the first two sessions of the summit, so you’re bound to have some questions. *This* is where we’ll answer them…live!

Emily and I will tag-team this Q&A session to chat through all the difficult or confusing aspects of video-making, and we’ll get all of the questions for this session from y-o-u.

Register for the Video in 2019 Summit <–

That’s it from us! We’re so excited for this summit, and we hope to see you there. Here’s the signup link one more time:

Pro tip! If you can’t attend the sessions live, a replay of the sessions will be available until the evening of Wednesday, November 7. Then they’ll be uploaded to Food Blogger Pro as a course for our members.

Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

The BEST soup made SO EASILY right in your pressure cooker with the crispiest tortilla strips! So good + so comforting!

Chunky sweaters. Homemade tortilla soup. Crispy tortilla strips.

Ugh. Life is good. Too good.

That, and, well, we’re headed to Las Vegas to see Backstreet Boys!

Backstreet’s back, alright!

This was my favorite childhood band ever, and growing up as a very sheltered child, I never went to a single concert of theirs. So don’t mind me while I scream out my lungs at Planet Hollywood tonight.

Until then, I hope you guys find the chunkiest sweater for this soup. It’s so perfect – it’s made in the Instant Pot (which basically means this is the easiest recipe ever), and the chicken is so amazingly tender, it just melts in your mouth.

So grab a spoon and all the crispy tortilla strips you can find.

Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup

Yield: 6 servings

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 40 minutes

The BEST soup made SO EASILY right in your pressure cooker with the crispiest tortilla strips! So good + so comforting!

Ingredients:

• 6 (6-inch) corn tortillas, sliced in half and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 1 sweet onion, diced
• 1 poblano pepper, seeded and diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 (10-ounce) cans diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 4 cups chicken stock
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
• 1 avocado, halved, seeded, peeled and thinly sliced

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine tortillas and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Place tortillas in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Place into oven bake until golden brown and crisp, about 10-15 minutes; set aside and let cool completely.
3. Set 6-qt Instant Pot® to the high saute setting. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, onion and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 4-5 minutes.
4. Stir in garlic, tomato paste, chili powder, cumin and oregano until fragrant, about 1 minute.
5. Stir in tomatoes, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
6. Stir in chicken and chicken stock; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Select manual setting; adjust pressure to high, and set time for 10 minutes. When finished cooking, quick-release pressure according to manufacturer’s directions. Remove chicken from the Instant Pot® and shred, using two forks.
7. Stir in chicken and cilantro until heated through, about 1 minute.
8. Serve immediately, topped with tortilla strips and avocado.
