I am canning peaches I picked from my tree yesterday. I have the peels in the dehydrator to make peach powder. I hate food waste so even the peels get used. I love to add peach powder to homemade yogurt or ice cream.
That is fantastic. We canned peaches today as well and I have some in my dehydrator and freeze dryer! I don't do the skins because of the fuzz. We will have a peach video out next week.
I'm so jealous! I planted a peach tree at my old house 40 years ago and would go back for the peach. No one every picked them. I drove by this year and they cut down my tree. Boo who 😥
Dear friends, you brighten my days as I watch your videos daily. As a 92 yr old widow, I have canned & dehydrated my own garden crops for years and it has been the hardest thing to give up---so I relive my life of preparing my food through you two and do some dehydrating & just bought myself the instant pot to can a little. This way I am able to preserve things I formally had to discard. I chop onions, peppers and celery for freezer and can take out what I need for a dish I'm preparing. I will dehydrate some now that I have the vacuum sealer & store in my saved reusable jars.do take care and maybe you can one day talk Cindy into helping you. Be sure to let us know when you two release your cookbook. I have some granddaughters who can benefit from such a gift. A tip I found in a pinch was I didn't have the fine mesh for my borrowed dehydrator but did have some extra netting from sewing and cut out liners to hold the chopped veggies that worked just fine. It's easy to hand wash and store. Bibby
Bibby: Thank you for watching our videos on a daily basis. I think what you are doing to keep active and preserving and canning food is great! Pam and Cindy are still working on the book. Pam will let you know when it is ready this coming spring. Jim
Since I unfortunately had no one who taught me the really important household skills (or whatever) I had to learn everything myself. I have been developing such important skills as food preservation (as a woman now almost fifty) for a few years now and I am always happy when I meet someone (even if it is only virtually, like here on TH-cam) who teaches me a little more. Thanks a million for that! I have the strange feeling that things that we take for granted will no longer be taken for granted for a long time and that I should better keep studying so that I can finally pass this knowledge on to my own children.
I think your strange feelings are absolutely correct. I think it is great that you are preparing and that you plan to pass the skills on to your children!

I am so glad I found you. I have a grandson who is a student at university and as we all know students never have enough money or enough food. I am going to prepare a box of these powdered instant meals to go to him along with dried fruit, biscuits, cookies and other nutritional things. I have a dehydrator and am keen to get started. He is 600 kilometres away from me so will be sending him treats by courier. Thank you so much.
I didn’t really make it for emergency preparedness, but I made tomato powder. I had a lot of tomatoes that I did not particularly care for, they were kind of bitter. But I had lots, so I tried drying them out of curiosity, and hoping it would improve them. The drying definitely brought out more sweetness, but then I wasn’t quite sure what to do with. On a whim I pulverized them in my food processor, btw, it did not really like the job, but that was the best thing I ever stumbled onto. It made such a good stir in for just about anything. The big pile of tomatoes only made a pint of powder, but even a teaspoon was enough. I haven’t powdered anything else but it occurs to me that the mustard I pulled out last week would probably have been easy to dry and very flavorful. It had all gone to seed, time to plant some more.💕

You are very welcome. Thank you for your comments and for sharing what you have done, which is amazing. You are blazing the trail and hopefully others around you will follow.
Nice to see someone sharing powder products in cooking. I've been adding into my recipes powder products like hemp protein powder, turmeric powder, moringa vegetable powder and other similar products. Putting these things into cookies, cakes and other dinners. I do check on each, their temperature maximum they can go. Not everything can be cooked at high temperature. Watching making powder vegetables is perfect. Showing how to make my own. Thank you. My granddaughter never ate vegetables but mixing them into foods she does eat. She's now eating vegetables. I do extra powder products on my 82 year old father who does not eat much. Doing powders has helped him get a better meal.
Thanks for posting this video and the previous one. This will go a long way to help my Husband recover from chemo and his mother to get through chemo. I have a fairly new freeze dryer but hadn’t thought to do this yet. They get so depleted from the chemo. Thank you!
Pam, I've started with freeze drying broccoli , it is great, but we keep snacking on it so may need to do another batch. Next up is going to be spinach and potato. If those turn out well, I'm going to powder everything I can get my hands on! You have no idea how much I've learned from you these last few months, my Grands think your magic, you can do anything! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
These soups sound amazing. I love soup all year long, no matter how hot the weather. I love cold soups too. This needs to be a series of videos. I am thinking next video might have ginger/carrot, cream of corn, and leak/potato soups. I am sure others will have great suggestions. 😍🙋🙌🙏
Great comment. Cucumber and all the gazpachos are great in summer when gardens are going crazy. Yogurt and buttermilk can be a refreshing alternative to cream when the weather is hot. Fruit soup is another summer possibility, although these are less known in the US.
I’ve been looking for videos on food dehydration, storage and uses. I’ve just tonight found your videos and I have binged some of them and I am so grateful for them. They are so well explained and leaves so much room for creativity. Pluuuuus I can feel all the love than goes into every video, I feel like I’m right there with you. Congrats.
Thank you for this great video! I help my elderly mom and make her meals for her. A little bit of front-end prep time will ultimately save me a lot of time if I do these soups as part of her lunch.
I love this, I was thinking at the end with you big jar that you wanted to put those little containers in. I thought oh but what if the lid pops off. Which made me think, you can vac-seal the soup mix into a bag, sealing down the bag as far as possible leaving a large pouch at the top, and then add the required bone broth, and seal it again. So that your bone broth isn’t mixed into the soup cause you said that wasn’t good for storage. And then you can pull out a twin sealed bag/pouch of soup and cut that into your boiling water. It’s air tight sealed, and portion controlled for when ever you wanted. You can take that to your work and keep that giant jar of random soups, knowing it’s stored safely to your food safety protocols. I love all these tips you share, and I though you might enjoy this as an addition. Thanks for all the vids you post, don’t stop sharing. 😊
I copied the recipes (thank you so much!) and will try making some tomato basil soup mix, too. And split pea, too. This is so exciting to me. I look forward to spending a lot of time here, watching your wonderful videos. I knew there had to be someone who has earned her stripes at all of this, and here you are. 👏👏👏. Applause, applause! I’m grateful.
Have you ever used fruit powders, in baking and even in some savory foods? I think you are the greatest, I told my doctor about you and yesterday he shared he is one of your biggest fans, next to me of course. Have a blessed day to both of you.
I make powdered soup mix with pea protein powder, veg, etc. I put it in a mug with V8, mix it up & microwave it. It's such a fast lunch or snack. Even just using pea-protein powder and V8 is an easy snack. I learned that one from my mom.
I also want to say thank you! I absolutely love watching your videos. I feel like I’m in college again, you remind me so much of one of my nursing school professors! I’m brand new to all of this and watching your videos has been so informative and I love that you teach the science of why you do what you do. That really helps me remember. I just finished my first dried batch of vegetables I got from the farmers market yesterday. I powdered it and it smelled amazing, tasted amazing, and I feel like I can actually enjoy when it’s time to go off the grid during this zombie apocalypse we are currently living through!
Thank you, thank you ! 69 year old here. You answered how I can make small amounts for myself. I just got a freeze dryer and my second batch of sweet corn is drying. I love soups and I'm mathematically challenged lol, so your information is wonderful. I've always done canning, but this adds a new twist. Wish Ralph was alive to see this. He would have loved it. Thank you again.
Just discovered your videos and feel like I have struck the mother load!!! You are a terrific instructor and I so appreciate all the work and effort you have put into doing these recipes. I also dabble and do canning and dehydrating etc and know the hours and effort it takes to do things from scratch. I am a prepper and live in a one bedroom apt and doing dehydrating and powders definitely makes storage so much easier. Thank you so much and you are a God send. If you produced a prepping and cookbook it would fly off the shelves and I would be your first customer.
How gracious of her to take so much time to thank everyone. Sincerely good person. I’ve been following Rose for a little over a year. Love her and THANK YOU Rose for all the videos! God Bless
Miss Pam, I am SO impressed with your use of ordered vegetables!!! I am equally impressed with answers from your viewers!!! Thank you for a most enlightening video!!! LOVED THIS VIDEO!!!! Thank you for sharing!!! I have to do this!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. I cannot tell you how much you have helped me and how much I have learned from you. Now with all of these powdered vegetables and fruits, and all the lessons in Waterbath and Pressure canning, I feel that my family will be well fed in any type of situation. Now I just need to improve my baking skills and we will be all set. I really appreciate everything you and everyone on TH-cam have taught me over the past couple of years, as well as all the wonderful gardeners who have helped me learn to grow a lot of our own food. I wish I had started learning a long time ago when I was younger, but at least now as my husband and I enter our senior years we can make sure all of our family will be well taken care of especially now with the situation the way they are in the world. Thank you again and many Blessings to you and your husband always.
This is such an amazing idea. Homemade powdered soup made from vegetables that could otherwise go bad or from an abundance from the garden. Thank you Pam for showing us these wonderful food saving recipes.
Oh my goodness this looks so good. I have got to try these, I love soup in the winter, it warms my body. Thank you for your expertise. You are one gifted lady. Thank You so much !!! ✝️💟
I have been watching! You obviously take a lot of time making your videos. Your research is great. I refer people to your site as I trust it!! Thank You for making these information rich videos!!!
I wrote down the recipes and will be making some powdered soups! Love that you give clear and concise instructions on how to put the soups together and the bone broth powder. I don't have a freeze dryer, but have a great dehydrator and with the right accessories, can probably make my own powdered bone broth. This is so exciting! Thanks for sharing!
I make a blend of dried vegetables powder in a dehydrator, grind it, then add 3% of the dry weight in salt....it makes a wonderful vegetable broth for soups, or just to drink on a cold winter day. I use: Carrots, Celery, Celery Root, Parsley Root, Parsley, Onions, Tomatoes, Parsnip, Rutabaga, Kale, Thyme, Leeks, Lovage. Freeze dryer version sounds interesting....need to check into that. As usual, you're best!
Love the soups and the idea of using the little cups. Please create more of these soup recipes. They're amazing. Potato soup would be a great one for the Fall. Who doesn't love Potato soup? Thank you for much for this great video. Blessings to you and the family. 💜🌷
I was so thrilled when I read about others methods for dehydrating broth. I am happy when the things we show have multiple options for doing them! Thanks.
@@RoseRedHomestead I love your videos. I'm also so glad that you make them. There is so much incorrect information out there... I've been trying to reach you privately, but can't figure it out. I've noticed that you provide your last name in your introduction. This might encourage a person who has trouble with boundaries to try and find you. Sad but true. These are crazy times.
@@thehadster7043 Thank you! Yes, these are crazy times, for sure. We considered trying to be completely anonymous but in the end, felt it might be better to disclose a little bit in case anyone wanted to check my credentials. We have had requests for our private emails but don't give those out.
Rose, many TH-camrs make a separate email account for their viewers to contact them. If you use a VPN your location will never be know since the VPN chooses a different city, state or country each time you log in. This always hides your actual location. We use Nord VPN which is excellent and only cost a few dollars per month. You may already know about this but I thought I'd mention it just in case you're interested in listing a contact email safely.
My teens have celiac, and we've been searching for ways to make going off to college a healthy and safe experience. We already have a bunch of dried and freeze dried vegetables, and I am excited to teach them to make mixes so they can eat well while studying!! Thank you.
I powdered my beets thanks to your last video about food powders. Thank you so much for doing this channel. I have a similar thought process as you, so your channel has been a treasure trove for me!
Hello “RoseRed”🌹 I’m enjoying a bowl of your delicious “Dry Lentil Soup Mix”, watching this video. I made several quart jars to give as gifts, so of course I wanted to try the soup mix myself, lol, it’s so good! I absolutely love your content; thank you so much for sharing!
This is such an awesome idea!!! Wish I had known about this back when I was working, but I'm sure going to use this now that I'm a stay at home chick!!!!! Great gift ideas especially for my grandchildren in college!!!!!!!
Thank you! Love your idea to use these as gifts for college age grandchildren! I might keep some of these in my office to give to our students when they come in to my office! Thanks for your comments.
I am so glad I found you! Your last video on how to use dehydrated veggies was recommended on my feed. I'm currently binge watching! Thank you for taking the time to share such wonderful knowledge.
I haven’t even watched it yet and I know I’m gonna love this video. Can’t wait to do some of these now onto the video thank you for putting these out there for us.
thank you so very much. Cannot even begin to tell you how much I have learned from you over fast few years. You are a godsend to myself and many others.
Such a fabulous idea! I was also thinking how amazing this would be for people like myself with limited space. The amount of foods, meals, etc... that could be stored in a small space, would be mind boggling. Especially if those mylar bags are use too. My imagination is going crazy! Lol!
works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside th-cam.com/users/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.
These soups look awesome. Thank you for sharing the recipes. You mentioned vacuum sealing for storage, and I am wondering if vegetable powder is more dense than flour, which is difficult to vacuum seal? I would think that the gift soups should be vacuum sealed, especially if they’re made ahead of time.
After the video I vacuum sealed every on of them without a problem. Sometimes I will slip a circle I have cut from a coffee filter on top of the powder before I vacuum seal and that works like a charm. It would work for flour as well.
I also add a coffee filter over powders I'm going to vacumm seal except I don't cut out a circle instead I fold all creases around the edges of the coffee filter inward (like a flower closeing) and lay the coffee filter over top of the powder in the jar and then vaccum seal it.
This was great… thank you! I heard you say you used freeze dried cheese powder. Can cheese be dehydrated? If so, is it as simple as laying shredded cheese on the trays or is there a special process to do so?
I have had several people ask that question. I have never done it and I am not sure it would work. Seems to me it would just melt and make a mess. You can buy good quality cheese powder. I am doing a bit of research to see what I can find out. I might try a test run. When I know something solid I will post a video.
@@RoseRedHomestead I buy the 2-1/2 lbs. Tillamook Sharp Cheddar Cheese blocks from Sams. Then, I hand shred them. My (large) Harvest Right allows me to freeze dry one block per tray. So, I can do 12-1/2 lbs. per batch. They freeze dry perfectly due to the large amount of surface area because of the shredding. Finally, I powderize the cheese in the blender. Works perfectly.
These would be great to use with my Vacuum sealer. I could vacuum seal packets to store and have them lay flat. Less space used. (I have small kitchen with no storage. ) Do you have your recipes in PDF format?
Watching the broccoli Cheddar soup was like watching Jesus with the loaves and fishes, but in reverse. 1/4 cup + 1/3 cup + 1/4 cup + 1T + 1/3 cup + spices all in a 1 cup jar. Blew my mind. Definitely gonna try it though (but I'll use a bigger jar, lol).
Just got a dehydrator for mothers day..I am starting dehydrating my eggs and potatoes today then move on to bell peppers. Onions and celery. So glad you share all
Thank you again for a wonderful presentation. My brain is swimming with ideas. My only problem is that I love binge watching so much that I don't get other much needed work done. Hopefully the ideas I glean from you will pay off so much that no one will notice my neglected housework. Haha
When my three daughters were little, instead of buying oatmeal packets, we made our own flavored oatmeal "packets." Dried apple bits and cinnamon. Dried banana chips and coconut. Dried peach bits and nutmeg (tastes like warm peach pie). Raisins, brown sugar, and walnuts (tastes like a cookie). Dried cranberries and sunflower seeds (my favorite). Dried blueberries and strawberries. The girls were so cute, making the mixes and putting them in small zipper bags. And that way, we knew what was in them! These soups remind me of those days. Soups like this should be on everyone's shelves, because soup is truly a comfort food.
I'm just getting started with powders and have asked, "Now what?". You have such great ideas and explain everything so well, including my questions of how to store them properly. I'm excited! Thank you!
Thank you so much for all your hard work and for sharing your wisdom! You do a very professional job with the videos and your voice is so comforting and easy to follow. I tried two of your recipes today; Asparagus and Tomato soups. My daughter loves asparagus, as I used to, but for some reason, I can no longer tolerate it, so the tomato soup was better for me. We enjoyed the soups and had fun experimenting with different powders and seasonings to find what works best for us. This brings us a greater sense of food security for this round of covid and flu season on fixed incomes and allows us to have that peace of mind that if the electricity goes out or if we get sick, we can still get a nutritional meal with the food powders and a little hot water. And the storage space needed is miniscule compared to all those cans taking up space. I'm so glad we found you!
I have discovered your videos not more than a week ago and they're very helpful and inspiring. How I wish i can buy a dehydrator. I think these powdered veggies are great for mixing with scrambled eggs or breads and home-made pasta, it will make a good meal for picky kids. Soups like these are also great for patients who are tube-fed.
I hope you truly know what a treasure you are in this world and how blessed I feel to have discovered your wealth of knowledge. I learned how to pressure can watching your videos a while back. You took the fear out of canning for me and now it's one of my favorite preservation methods. I ordered a freeze dryer last month because my husband spends a lot of money every year on freeze dried foods. I have been watching all of your dehydrator/freeze dryer videos lately and have learned so very much. This video is a real treat and I can't wait to try all of these soups! 😊
I am really grateful for all you hard work to help others! I was frustrated and a little burnt out because of the work i did last summer, canning, dehydrating and wishing i had a freeze dryer... then up pops this video on powdered vegys!!👍💕 i can dehydrate and put together some soup mixes! THANK YOU SO MUCH!💕! Could you share your recipes for the other two soups in this video? Have a blessed day!
I have a hard time getting enough veg. In my food this will help great.y. I just found your videos and they inspire me. I have a dehydrator and this gives me new info of what I can do with it thank you so much.

I do extra powder products on my 82 year old father who does not eat much. Doing powders has helped him get a better meal.
Thanks for posting this video and the previous one. This will go a long way to help my Husband recover from chemo and his mother to get through chemo. I have a fairly new freeze dryer but hadn’t thought to do this yet. They get so depleted from the chemo. Thank you!
Oh goodness, I really hope this works to help restore their health. This is a very tender comment--thanks for sharing.
Pam,
I've started with freeze drying broccoli , it is great, but we keep snacking on it so may need to do another batch. Next up is going to be spinach and potato. If those turn out well, I'm going to powder everything I can get my hands on! You have no idea how much I've learned from you these last few months, my Grands think your magic, you can do anything! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
That is so awesome! You are going great guns. We are so glad the videos have been useful for you.
Are you blanching or fully cooking the veggies first?
These soups sound amazing. I love soup all year long, no matter how hot the weather. I love cold soups too. This needs to be a series of videos. I am thinking next video might have ginger/carrot, cream of corn, and leak/potato soups. I am sure others will have great suggestions. 😍🙋🙌🙏
Great comment. Cucumber and all the gazpachos are great in summer when gardens are going crazy. Yogurt and buttermilk can be a refreshing alternative to cream when the weather is hot. Fruit soup is another summer possibility, although these are less known in the US.
@@dorothyyoung8231 one of my favorite things about going on a criuse ...all the yummy soups
Oh my gosh--what a great idea. I will start working on that!
Dorothy--great ideas as well!
@@dorothyyoung8231 I have never heard of fruit soup😲
I’ve been looking for videos on food dehydration, storage and uses. I’ve just tonight found your videos and I have binged some of them and I am so grateful for them. They are so well explained and leaves so much room for creativity. Pluuuuus I can feel all the love than goes into every video, I feel like I’m right there with you. Congrats.
Thank you! That is so kind.

Thank you for this great video! I help my elderly mom and make her meals for her. A little bit of front-end prep time will ultimately save me a lot of time if I do these soups as part of her lunch.
Yes it will. Such a good idea and I hope she will like them.
Great focus: Food security, self-reliance, and preparedness!! ✔️ ✔️ ✔️
I live in New Mexico and we love doing things like this...
Making foods at home means no additional additives, which is fantastic . Thank you again
I love this, I was thinking at the end with you big jar that you wanted to put those little containers in. I thought oh but what if the lid pops off. Which made me think, you can vac-seal the soup mix into a bag, sealing down the bag as far as possible leaving a large pouch at the top, and then add the required bone broth, and seal it again. So that your bone broth isn’t mixed into the soup cause you said that wasn’t good for storage. And then you can pull out a twin sealed bag/pouch of soup and cut that into your boiling water. It’s air tight sealed, and portion controlled for when ever you wanted. You can take that to your work and keep that giant jar of random soups, knowing it’s stored safely to your food safety protocols. I love all these tips you share, and I though you might enjoy this as an addition.
Thanks for all the vids you post, don’t stop sharing. 😊
I copied the recipes (thank you so much!) and will try making some tomato basil soup mix, too. And split pea, too. This is so exciting to me. I look forward to spending a lot of time here, watching your wonderful videos. I knew there had to be someone who has earned her stripes at all of this, and here you are. 👏👏👏. Applause, applause! I’m grateful.
Hmm. . . I have a ton of lentils.
So...would you cook the peas first and then dehydrate? ....and Then powder them? Because powdered split pea soup would just Ring my Bells! Lol
Have you ever used fruit powders, in baking and even in some savory foods? I think you are the greatest, I told my doctor about you and yesterday he shared he is one of your biggest fans, next to me of course. Have a blessed day to both of you.
Oh my goodness--thanks for sharing that! I am looking into doing fruit powders!
@@RoseRedHomestead Pam isn't that wonderful!
I make powdered soup mix with pea protein powder, veg, etc.
I put it in a mug with V8, mix it up & microwave it. It's such a fast lunch or snack.
Even just using pea-protein powder and V8 is an easy snack. I learned that one from my mom.
This is very interesting.
Thx so much for these videos! What a wonderful way to use the veggys we are getting now in the gardens!! Just wonderful!!
I also want to say thank you! I absolutely love watching your videos. I feel like I’m in college again, you remind me so much of one of my nursing school professors! I’m brand new to all of this and watching your videos has been so informative and I love that you teach the science of why you do what you do. That really helps me remember. I just finished my first dried batch of vegetables I got from the farmers market yesterday. I powdered it and it smelled amazing, tasted amazing, and I feel like I can actually enjoy when it’s time to go off the grid during this zombie apocalypse we are currently living through!
Thank you!
Thank you, thank you !
69 year old here. You answered how I can make small amounts for myself. I just got a freeze dryer and my second batch of sweet corn is drying. I love soups and I'm mathematically challenged lol, so your information is wonderful.
I've always done canning, but this adds a new twist.
Wish Ralph was alive to see this. He would have loved it. Thank you again.
You sound pretty spunky for 69--good for you! How fun that you have a freeze dryer. So many fun things you can do with it. Thanks for your comments.
Just discovered your videos and feel like I have struck the mother load!!! You are a terrific instructor and I so appreciate all the work and effort you have put into doing these recipes. I also dabble and do canning and dehydrating etc and know the hours and effort it takes to do things from scratch. I am a prepper and live in a one bedroom apt and doing dehydrating and powders definitely makes storage so much easier. Thank you so much and you are a God send. If you produced a prepping and cookbook it would fly off the shelves and I would be your first customer.
How gracious of her to take so much time to thank everyone. Sincerely good person. I’ve been following Rose for a little over a year. Love her and THANK YOU Rose for all the videos! God Bless
You are so welcome! Thank you for your kind words.
Miss Pam, I am SO impressed with your use of ordered vegetables!!! I am equally impressed with answers from your viewers!!! Thank you for a most enlightening video!!! LOVED THIS VIDEO!!!! Thank you for sharing!!! I have to do this!!!

@@RoseRedHomestead Thank you, Miss Pam ☺️
Thank you for the time and energy you both put into making these. I love watching and your enthusiasm. God bless you both!
Thsnk you for posting the recipes so we can pre-package soup ! God bless 🙏🙋🏻
You are a true blessing. Thanks for your videos. God bless you
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. I cannot tell you how much you have helped me and how much I have learned from you. Now with all of these powdered vegetables and fruits, and all the lessons in Waterbath and Pressure canning, I feel that my family will be well fed in any type of situation. Now I just need to improve my baking skills and we will be all set. I really appreciate everything you and everyone on TH-cam have taught me over the past couple of years, as well as all the wonderful gardeners who have helped me learn to grow a lot of our own food. I wish I had started learning a long time ago when I was younger, but at least now as my husband and I enter our senior years we can make sure all of our family will be well taken care of especially now with the situation the way they are in the world. Thank you again and many Blessings to you and your husband always.
This is such an amazing idea. Homemade powdered soup made from vegetables that could otherwise go bad or from an abundance from the garden. Thank you Pam for showing us these wonderful food saving recipes.
You are very welcome. Thanks for your comments.
Oh my goodness this looks so good. I have got to try these, I love soup in the winter, it warms my body. Thank you for your expertise. You are one gifted lady. Thank You so much !!! ✝️💟
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching and for your comments.
I have been watching! You obviously take a lot of time making your videos. Your research is great. I refer people to your site as I trust it!! Thank You for making these information rich videos!!!
Thank you for explaining everything so clearly and detailed.
You're very welcome! Thanks for your kind words.
I wrote down the recipes and will be making some powdered soups! Love that you give clear and concise instructions on how to put the soups together and the bone broth powder. I don't have a freeze dryer, but have a great dehydrator and with the right accessories, can probably make my own powdered bone broth. This is so exciting! Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome. I can almost feel your enthusiasm! I love it.
@@RoseRedHomestead what were the other 2 soup recipes in the video? You only told about 2.

I sure wish that I was one of your neighbors. Thank you for such amazing research and planning. I so enjoy watching your videos.
This is awesome!!! I woke up this morning thinking about what I was going to put in my freeze dryer to start making veggie powders!😍
Excellent choice!
I make a blend of dried vegetables powder in a dehydrator, grind it, then add 3% of the dry weight in salt....it makes a wonderful vegetable broth for soups, or just to drink on a cold winter day. I use: Carrots, Celery, Celery Root, Parsley Root, Parsley, Onions, Tomatoes, Parsnip, Rutabaga, Kale, Thyme, Leeks, Lovage. Freeze dryer version sounds interesting....need to check into that. As usual, you're best!
What is your source for real nice pieces of freeze-dried celery?
@@abou8963 I don't freeze dry (yet)....I use a dehydrator!
That sounds really fabulous! I am going to try that! Thanks for sharing.
This sounds delicious 😋
So I dehydrated all the extra tomatoes in my window seal this weekend and some celery. I need a good, not too expensive blender now. LOL
Thank you. So handy for the days you don’t feel like cooking.
You are a breath of fresh air!
Love the soups and the idea of using the little cups. Please create more of these soup recipes. They're amazing. Potato soup would be a great one for the Fall. Who doesn't love Potato soup? Thank you for much for this great video. Blessings to you and the family. 💜🌷

Hey JT watchin this too!!--- since i dehydrate alot!!!!!🐾🐾🐾🐾🐈🐈🐈🐈
@@coloradopackratprepper Hello my friend. We must both be smart preppers.👍😄. Will be dehydrating again when it cools off. Have to make these.
This is excellent! Also, thank you for the information about dehydrating stock/bone broth in a regular dehydrator.
I was so thrilled when I read about others methods for dehydrating broth. I am happy when the things we show have multiple options for doing them! Thanks.
@@RoseRedHomestead I love your videos. I'm also so glad that you make them. There is so much incorrect information out there... I've been trying to reach you privately, but can't figure it out. I've noticed that you provide your last name in your introduction. This might encourage a person who has trouble with boundaries to try and find you. Sad but true. These are crazy times.
@@thehadster7043 Thank you! Yes, these are crazy times, for sure. We considered trying to be completely anonymous but in the end, felt it might be better to disclose a little bit in case anyone wanted to check my credentials. We have had requests for our private emails but don't give those out.
@@RoseRedHomestead Understood. I was sure you had thought about it, but what do "they" say about "assume?" Be well.
Rose, many TH-camrs make a separate email account for their viewers to contact them. If you use a VPN your location will never be know since the VPN chooses a different city, state or country each time you log in. This always hides your actual location. We use Nord VPN which is excellent and only cost a few dollars per month. You may already know about this but I thought I'd mention it just in case you're interested in listing a contact email safely.

That is great! You are very welcome.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and please do not stop ❤❤❤
Even with this being two years ago I'm still watching and learning!!! I'm working on dehydrating with plans to powder things up.
I'm just loving this newfound way of ready meals along with food preservation.
That is great. I am pretty sold on it as well!

That is so kind of you! Thank you for your support.
Such a fabulous idea! I was also thinking how amazing this would be for people like myself with limited space. The amount of foods, meals, etc... that could be stored in a small space, would be mind boggling. Especially if those mylar bags are use too. My imagination is going crazy! Lol!
That is wonderful--just let your creativity go wild! So glad the video was useful for you.
Thank you so much! Love that this these are wonderful tips for now and for long storage. Smart ideas from a smart lady.
I can't wait to try some of these soups. To me soup is the perfect food. I have always loved it.
works great. i love that it has stainless steal pot inside th-cam.com/users/postUgkxG-7WiT7ocumjytOpHDFt632PL0pxXRAg and not the one with coating. we used to have a coated pot before, and the coating slowly peels, and i am sure went into the food that we cooked. Absolutely love stainless steel, and will not use a coated product again.This pot has many settings and many buttons, and i need to sit down with a manual to figure out which setting to use. I used the basic functions, and even though i am not technologically skilled, i turned it on and assembled it without any help.Very satisfied with this product overall.
These soups look awesome. Thank you for sharing the recipes. You mentioned vacuum sealing for storage, and I am wondering if vegetable powder is more dense than flour, which is difficult to vacuum seal? I would think that the gift soups should be vacuum sealed, especially if they’re made ahead of time.
After the video I vacuum sealed every on of them without a problem. Sometimes I will slip a circle I have cut from a coffee filter on top of the powder before I vacuum seal and that works like a charm. It would work for flour as well.
I also add a coffee filter over powders I'm going to vacumm seal except I don't cut out a circle instead I fold all creases around the edges of the coffee filter inward (like a flower closeing) and lay the coffee filter over top of the powder in the jar and then vaccum seal it.
Can you just drop an oxygen absorber into your jars for the powders?
I think these singles would be great gifts for people during slu and cold season!!
Great idea! I love that. Thanks for sharing.
This was great… thank you! I heard you say you used freeze dried cheese powder. Can cheese be dehydrated? If so, is it as simple as laying shredded cheese on the trays or is there a special process to do so?
I have had several people ask that question. I have never done it and I am not sure it would work. Seems to me it would just melt and make a mess. You can buy good quality cheese powder. I am doing a bit of research to see what I can find out. I might try a test run. When I know something solid I will post a video.
@@RoseRedHomestead Thank you! I’ll have to look into more it as well… thanks so much for doing your videos… they help so much!
@@RoseRedHomestead I have freeze dried mozzarella cheese. So that is an option for those who have freeze dryers
@@RoseRedHomestead I buy the 2-1/2 lbs. Tillamook Sharp Cheddar Cheese blocks from Sams. Then, I hand shred them. My (large) Harvest Right allows me to freeze dry one block per tray. So, I can do 12-1/2 lbs. per batch. They freeze dry perfectly due to the large amount of surface area because of the shredding. Finally, I powderize the cheese in the blender. Works perfectly.
These would be great to use with my Vacuum sealer. I could vacuum seal packets to store and have them lay flat. Less space used. (I have small kitchen with no storage. ) Do you have your recipes in PDF format?
Great idea. The recipes are below the video description and you can copy and paste them into Word and then save them as PDFs if you like.
Amazing! Thanks you!
Watching the broccoli Cheddar soup was like watching Jesus with the loaves and fishes, but in reverse. 1/4 cup + 1/3 cup + 1/4 cup + 1T + 1/3 cup + spices all in a 1 cup jar. Blew my mind. Definitely gonna try it though (but I'll use a bigger jar, lol).
I have a question: Are milk solids the same as powdered milk?
Yes--it is what is left after all the water in the milk is evaporated out.
What about using freeze dried milk?
Please start a recipe book.
I would help compile and edit that book for you, Pam! Hint! Hint!

SUPER COOL
Thank you for the great recipes!
Love the powdered ingredients idea for soooo many reasons
When my three daughters were little, instead of buying oatmeal packets, we made our own flavored oatmeal "packets." Dried apple bits and cinnamon. Dried banana chips and coconut. Dried peach bits and nutmeg (tastes like warm peach pie). Raisins, brown sugar, and walnuts (tastes like a cookie). Dried cranberries and sunflower seeds (my favorite). Dried blueberries and strawberries. The girls were so cute, making the mixes and putting them in small zipper bags. And that way, we knew what was in them! These soups remind me of those days. Soups like this should be on everyone's shelves, because soup is truly a comfort food.
Pam, Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us! I truly appreciate it!! Stay well. 😀👏❤️
Thank you so much! You too.
You are Fabulous! Love your channel. 🥰
I'm just getting started with powders and have asked, "Now what?". You have such great ideas and explain everything so well, including my questions of how to store them properly. I'm excited! Thank you!
You are so welcome! Jim
Oh I can’t hardly wait to try these, thank you!!! ❤
You are so welcome! Jim
Thank you so much for all your hard work and for sharing your wisdom! You do a very professional job with the videos and your voice is so comforting and easy to follow. I tried two of your recipes today; Asparagus and Tomato soups. My daughter loves asparagus, as I used to, but for some reason, I can no longer tolerate it, so the tomato soup was better for me. We enjoyed the soups and had fun experimenting with different powders and seasonings to find what works best for us. This brings us a greater sense of food security for this round of covid and flu season on fixed incomes and allows us to have that peace of mind that if the electricity goes out or if we get sick, we can still get a nutritional meal with the food powders and a little hot water. And the storage space needed is miniscule compared to all those cans taking up space. I'm so glad we found you!
Thanks, it is great that you using them and mixing them to your taste.
I have discovered your videos not more than a week ago and they're very helpful and inspiring. How I wish i can buy a dehydrator. I think these powdered veggies are great for mixing with scrambled eggs or breads and home-made pasta, it will make a good meal for picky kids. Soups like these are also great for patients who are tube-fed.
You can use your oven, or even the sun, to dehydrate.
Thank you for sharing this. I am definitely going to try it
I hope you truly know what a treasure you are in this world and how blessed I feel to have discovered your wealth of knowledge. I learned how to pressure can watching your videos a while back. You took the fear out of canning for me and now it's one of my favorite preservation methods. I ordered a freeze dryer last month because my husband spends a lot of money every year on freeze dried foods. I have been watching all of your dehydrator/freeze dryer videos lately and have learned so very much. This video is a real treat and I can't wait to try all of these soups! 😊
Amanda: We are so happy for all of your food preservation successes. Thanks for finding our videos. Jim
