Pokemon Soup

Pokemon Soup is the 2nd episode of The Adventures of Carly Pressman & Friends.

Plot
Num Nums tells Mario that she is hungry and wants him to make Pokemon soup, but Mario doesn't know how to make it. When Num Nums explains how Mario must catch a Pokemon and cook it, Mario seems worried that he will catch a Charizard, but Num Nums reassures him by explaining how there are small Pokemon living in the house that are easier to catch.

Mario then sees Pikachu and decides to catch him, but is unsure how to get him into the pot of boiling water. He tricks Pikachu into thinking the pot of boiling water is a spa bathtub and how it is relaxing, so Pikachu believes Mario and follows him into the pot.

Kipper is shocked to see Mario cooking Pikachu. He then explains how Pokemon soup is actually a vegetarian dish (in the United States) made from Pokemon-shaped pasta mixed with tomato sauce. Mario is upset because Num Nums said to use a live Pokemon so he reluctantly gives Pikachu back to Kipper.

Mario then gives Num Nums the Pokemon soup to eat. However, when Num Nums sniffs the Pokemon soup, she claims to smell something that was cooked alive in the soup. Mario explains that he put snails in the soup, much to Num Nums' dismay because she is a vegetarian. Mario then gets upset at Num Nums because she told him to put a live Pokemon in the soup when the recipe actually called for Pokemon-shaped pasta mixed with tomato sauce, so he takes the soup away. Num Nums ends up not wanting to eat the soup.

Trivia

 * The actual recipe for Pokemon soup consists of ramen noodles steamed with a seafood-based soup. This is the traditional recipe for Pokemon soup in Japan.
 * The Pokemon soup recipe used by Mario is based on the recipe for Pokemon Pasta Shapes in Tomato Sauce, a discontinued canned soup released by Heinz in the early 2000s.
 * When Kipper tells Pikachu he can lick him clean from the tomato sauce, this is a reference to the show Good Luck Charlie.
 * The soup seen in the video is actually from a can of Spaghetti-O's.
 * Although the traditional American recipe for Pokemon soup does not contain animal products, the soup seen in this video contains meatballs.
