im watching it all again for recipes easy to learn how to cook again thanks looks lovely no one ever teaches you how to cook anymore it is a shame my mother in law is really good makes me look stupid in front of my kids not a nice lady at all
Another tasty meal. Thanks for your time making your videos. My nana said fried mushrooms were just like adding meat. Hopefully everyone is doing there best staying safe 🇨🇦
Thank you, Grandma Feral for this uplifting video. It reminds people that they can eat healthy and cheaply, no need to panic about food. It looks delicious!
Dear Grandma, I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and have been loving every single video. My husband and me avoid meat as far as possible, and it's very handy that so many of your recipes are naturally meat-free. Yesterday I made this soup, as my husband and me love barley, but without the mushrooms, because I have a little trouble eating mushrooms in the evening. It was a very delicious meal and in this exceptionally cold and wet summer, it was a wonderful way to warm up in the evening right before going to bed. Thank you, Grandma! ❤️
I've always loved hearty barley-based soups, Grandma Feral, but this one is new to me; I cannot wait to try this, as I prefer to eat vegetarian wherever pawsible. Thank you for introducing me to krupnik; love to you, to Grandpa Feral, and to the outdoor kittehs, and stay safe and well.
I hope you enjoy this soup when you make it. So far Grandpa and I are well. We hope you stay safe and well. Praying for everyone at this difficult time👩
Ok, I just made this soup even though it’s 102 outside today here in Florida 😎 I wanted to share with you. So I don’t eat mushrooms so I subbed fresh cilantro, one red chili, Himalayan salt and two cloves of garlic. It’s very good and it’s also a recipe base for many variations to be made from it. I will he added this to my collection and appreciate that you posted it ....God bless you both
OMGoodness, this looks so very delicious, filling and warm. Would love to be making this soup right now. Can’t wait to try it. Thank you for sharing another great looking recipe! 😻💙💙
I’m polish and my mouth starts watering when I see the soup ingredients. I like barley very much. And cabbage. I turned my back on these polish foods when I was a teenager but now I’m a babcia and I love these foods. Thank you.
If you had this kind of food during the great depression, you were very fortunate. I grew up in the 1970's eating fried cabbage, butterbeans and cornbread on a regular basis. Meat came in the form of fried chicken at Grandmas sunday dinners and that was pretty much all the meat there was. I swore that , when I grew up it would be steak and pizza forever , but when I read over the restaurant menus as an adult the only appealing foods were the simple ones. So now , in my 50's , fried cabbage , potato soups and fried chicken are meals fit for royalty as far as I'm concerned. God bless you guys.
I learned the great depression recipes from my Mom that lived through it. I am so glad as I can save money making these simple and cheap meals. We eat a lot of meatless meals and eat only a steak once a year. Thank you for watching 👩🏻
Everything you make looks so tasty. Thank you for sharing another Great Depression meal. I love your channel, Grandma. Blessings to you and Grandpa!!! 🙂💕🍲
Mmmm. I remember this soup. My Polish grandmother made this when I was a child. She and my parents lived through the Great Depression long before I was born but many recipes remained. Sadly, most were lost when my mother passed years ago. I am a big fan of different soups that survived beyond those times. Soup is always my comfort food when I'm not feeling well. Soup revitalize me. I will be making this one for sure.
Grandma, not only are your recipes delicious, but your videos are so incredibly wholesome. They remind me of the people I love the most and some of my most cherished memories. I love how cute you and paw are, how he always tries your food and tells you how delicious it is. Thank you for making these and sharing them with the world 🩷
oh I'm loving your recipes ! my parents are from depression era. you sound like a New Yorker. I'm from Long Island. parents from Brooklyn but they're gone now. I'm happy I found you ! I'm sharing your recipe on my FB page !
That looks delicious 😋 we love all those ingredients tho I've never used barley before but I'll be trying it for the first time. Thanks for all the great cooking videos. Hope your furry faces at the door are doing well 😻
You'll LOVE barley! It has a wonderful texture and is very filling. Try it with beef or vegetable soup! (I am pretty sure Campbell's makes soups with barley if you want to try that first.) Stay safe, everyone.
Thank you for posting this recipe, I have button mushrooms in the fridge, and of course barley (probably my Germanic blood) and we all keep potatoes around so I will try this out on the hubby. It sure sounds great to me, and my mom was born before the Depression and remembers life in New York city as being bleak, food wise. her memories of California after age 7 were like a whole new world where people had fruits and vegetables straight from the garden. She ate frugally all her life, and still would now but is being fed whatever the senior center delivers to her room.
Thank you for watching. My Aunt who lived during the depression would tell the story about her being so hungry that she found a piece of molded bread on the road and ate it👩
@@GrandmaFeral I think that is one reason why my 92 year old mother never gained much weight, she felt it was wasteful to eat more than one should to hold body together (her words) and remembers being hungry too. I personally have eaten all her share and more all my life but I was brought up to appreciate every piece of bread we had, every kernal of rice or corn and to give thanks to those that provided them to us.
Thank you for this recipe this is a good warming soup made with foods that are easy to find. Please stay safe and healthy. Love, purrs and Hello to the cats
What an appropriate time for showing us this recipe. Thanks for this, and for reminding me to add some barley to the pantry, where it's been 1933 still for a very long while. (Yes, I save/reuse the 'tin foil'...) Mom grew up during the Depression, so I'm ready for this...... I hope.........
Patricia Morgan hahahaha. My Momma too, saved the tin fiol!!! Omg i find myself doing alot of things she did. Awe🥰 thanku. I have some great soups from that era- poormans soup, sour soup, all ki ds love it. So thankful for my time with my Mother Father and siblings. 👌🏼🙏🏽🌈💫
@@followurheart1 I'd love to know what sour soup is! Poorman's probably has cabbage? Or potatoes? From my Dad's side of the family, my go-to comfort soup is potato soup. Really just potatoes and onions boiled together, then finished with canned evaporated milk. Very simple, only seasoned with salt. Grandma was Welsh, so I suspect the pre-Depression original version (from the old country) might have used leeks instead, which is how I often make it today ----though I usually substitute American cheese (8 slices white, 2 slices yellow) and a splash of cream for the evaporated milk.
Wow, Grandma Feral! LF mentioned in her premier tonight that you had gone viral (in the good sense), and she wasn't kidding! May you continue to remain safe and healthy at home while your timely recipe speeds around the globe, bringing solace and comfort to an anxious, locked-down world.🥣🌎🌍🌏 PS, I couldn't find any barley in the store when I ventured out last night. Coincidence? Maybe not!😉
Hi Grandpa went to several stores to find the barley. I am glad so many people are making my recipes. They are delicious and so easy to make. Grandpa and I are cleaning closets since we have to stay home. God Bless & Stay Well👩
My family made this soup at least 3 times a month even as we got older. I’ve made it a few times my self while my children were growing up. Now I have a hankering for a bowel so thanks to you I’ll make some this week and enjoy the soup and the great memories. The best to you and grandpa. ❤
Hi George thanks for sharing that your family made this soup a few times a month and you made it for your children. Enjoy the soup and have a nice week❤️Grandma👩🏻& Grandpa👨🍳
That looks delicious. My father made a lot of depression era dishes. He was a little child during the depression. My Aunt made these depression burgers. I wish I had the recipe. I can still remember how good they tasted. All I remember was it had crumbled white bread and something green in it. Maybe fresh parsley or celery. It was so long ago. All my relatives have passed away so I can't get the recipe.
Think rationing. Experiment. What can I add to make the meat go further? Most common is starch, so white bread crumbs, leftover mashed potatoes, cooked white rice or brown rice. Green stuff you remember may have been bell peppers mixed in because they will mush up when cooked. Whereas celery would still be a little firm when the hamburger meat is done. Of course, mix in chopped onion.
Thank you for sharing these recipes; I've just watched a few of your videos. As someone who loves history, it's fascinating to get a sample of the recipes that were used during the Great Depression Era. In a practical sense, it's also neat to see just how simple and inexpensive many of these hearty looking meals are, and that they could easily be adapted to taste or to additional ingredients that one has on hand. Meatless recipes like this one would be great for Fridays and Ember days. All the best!
The great depression most people made meals with vegetables from their garden, made homemade noodles. They made few ingredient meals that could feed large families. No fast food chains and they had no money. I have had this soup on many Fridays👩
After eating "Thanksgiving Dinner #2" at my niece's house, I watched this video and got hungry again! Thank you so much, Grandma Feral, for showing us how to make this soup! I think I'll shake a little dried dill and parsley into it while it's cooking and include some toasted artisan bread to have alongside it. My mom often made soups like this for her husband and six children. She and Dad were "depression kids", so they knew how to stretch a dollar and still put yummy food on the table. Hope you and Grandpa had a great Thanksgiving yourselves.
Hello we had a great Thanksgiving. I am happy to hear you will be making this soup and adding some herbs. The toasted artisan bread will be a wonderful addition. Grandpa and I enjoy having soups especially now that we are having cold weather. It helps with the cost of our grocery bill. I am very lucky because Grandpa likes to eat leftovers. Thank you so much for watching and have a nice day❤️Grandma👩🏻
Watching you cook is like watching my mom, only with a recipe, like you said she passed away with , a little of this and that “ to taste “ so thank you for figuring it out. ❤
One of your videos came up in my recommended a couple days ago and after watching it I subscribed immediately and have been watching other videos! This is exactly the kind of cooking that interests me, simple, inexpensive, but tasty food. Can't wait to try some of these out for myself.
Reminds me of Chicken and Stars soup, with the barley looking like the "stars". I suppose you could use chicken stock, and maybe some diced chicken if you had it, and it would be a very close twin to Chicken and Stars soup. Love it!
This soup could be easily adapted to include anything else you like, its a very good basic recipe. Stay safe and healthy. Love, purrs, cuddles and kisses for your cats
...the bigger, older, smarter twin! Lol Sorry, but I'm a little sensitive about homemade soup being compared as a "twin" for canned soup after my new husband got sick, I made him my DELICIOUS chicken soup and he said he preferred Campbell's Chicken Noodle soup like his Mom made. 25 yrs. later he has developed a more refined palate! 🧓❤👵
@AnnBearForFreedom Think nothing of it! We are still married so it wasn't THAT bad of a rejection/comment about my cooking, but he was insensitive then and still pretty much is...and I love him. You had no idea you comment about soup would bring memories flooding back, but I've been moody. Hard times on Planet Earth. I hope you are Healthy and Safe. ❤
I never knew my Hungarian grandmother, although I heard she was a great cook. This sounds like something she would of made! You make it look delicious, so I will make it tomorrow! lol Thanks for a nice, simple recipe!
I love watching these and learning these recipes. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to make these videos. I’m looking forward to more.
A family favrite soup! I've made this many times since I last posted three years ago. I often add one cup of Turkey broth I have canned to replace one cup of water.
Grandma Feral...this looks delish. I am going to try this today, as I am working on making the best use of my pantry to skip the trip to the grocery store.
omg its cold up here in canada - also i never made barley soup this way, thanks for showing how it's really done, will make some this weekend as flurries kick in, comfort food!!!!!!! I am 1/4 Polish love all your recipes.
Growing up mom z'l made this with meat. She always got the bone with the marrow. I'm now a vegetarian and made it without meat. I don't boil my barley. I gently saute the cut up carrots, celery, onions and garlic. I then add the Barney. Toasting it brings out more flavor. I add cut up mushrooms and dried porcini mushroom that had been soaking in hot water for 20 minutes. I strain the liquid and then add that to the pot. I add water and 2 stock cubes. Put the lid on and softly simmer until barley is soft. Soooo good.
That looks very good, even though I'm not a mushroom fan. Barley is very good, al the other ingredients are great. -- If people do want some cheap meat or protein, maybe a dollop of beef or chicken bouillon, or maybe a Polska Kielbasa sausage, chopped, browned, added to the soup. -- But the recipe looks tasty like it is too. Maybe a little cheese or chopped green onion as a garnish? -- I've been a Lucky Ferals fan a long time, and I've now seen a couple of your videos, Grandma and Grandpa Feral. Thank you.
Hi Welcome and thank you so much for watching my channel. Most of my recipes you can add whatever ingredients you like or omit the ones you don’t like. We love Polish Kielbasa but we don’t eat it that often. I like to prepare a few meatless meals a week. Glad to hear you are a fan of my daughters channel. All her Cats are so special and we always enjoy seeing them. They each have their own personality. Have a nice day. Take Care❤️Grandma👩🏻
Hi, Grandma!! Hope you are doing well! New subscriber here, and I love your videos. Hope you upload more to keep us all busy in the kitchen during the quarantine! Love from Virginia.

Lol! I know exactly what you mean Debbie! Same reason they say, don't go grocery shopping on an empty stomach.

Thank you, Grandma Feral for this uplifting video. It reminds people that they can eat healthy and cheaply, no need to panic about food. It looks delicious!
Her grandmother had to cook it differently. I know because I'm Polish. XD
A good, hearty, inexpensive meal. 👍 Wishing you the best during this crazy time. Stay safe!
Stay safe also👩
I'm vegetarian for 6yrs now, so thank you Grandma Feral for your delicious, meatless recipes!💕

As Always ,Great Looking Food ,Good Job !!! Thank You Grandma For Your Recipes !!!
Barley is a very nutritious grain that we don't use very often. Thank you for this recipe. I will try it soon.
I like to cook without meat, especially soup, so this is a recipe for me to try! Thanks Grandma Feral...
thank you very keep these coming from Australia
That looks yummy. Thanks Grandma Feral🙂
Very nice.
Thank you for the amazing recipes
😋 Grandma Feral you made me hungry again ... lol

omg its cold up here in canada - also i never made barley soup this way, thanks for showing how it's really done, will make some this weekend as flurries kick in, comfort food!!!!!!! I am 1/4 Polish love all your recipes.
This is a delicious soup to make on a cold day. Enjoy! Thank you for watching and have a good day👩🏻
Growing up mom z'l made this with meat. She always got the bone with the marrow. I'm now a vegetarian and made it without meat. I don't boil my barley. I gently saute the cut up carrots, celery, onions and garlic. I then add the Barney. Toasting it brings out more flavor. I add cut up mushrooms and dried porcini mushroom that had been soaking in hot water for 20 minutes. I strain the liquid and then add that to the pot. I add water and 2 stock cubes. Put the lid on and softly simmer until barley is soft. Soooo good.
Thank you for sharing how you make the soup and prepare the barley. Thank you so much for watching and have a good day👩🏻
Fabulous as usual.
Thank you for watching 👩🏻
That looks very good, even though I'm not a mushroom fan. Barley is very good, al the other ingredients are great. -- If people do want some cheap meat or protein, maybe a dollop of beef or chicken bouillon, or maybe a Polska Kielbasa sausage, chopped, browned, added to the soup. -- But the recipe looks tasty like it is too. Maybe a little cheese or chopped green onion as a garnish? -- I've been a Lucky Ferals fan a long time, and I've now seen a couple of your videos, Grandma and Grandpa Feral. Thank you.
Hi Welcome and thank you so much for watching my channel. Most of my recipes you can add whatever ingredients you like or omit the ones you don’t like. We love Polish Kielbasa but we don’t eat it that often. I like to prepare a few meatless meals a week. Glad to hear you are a fan of my daughters channel. All her Cats are so special and we always enjoy seeing them. They each have their own personality. Have a nice day. Take Care❤️Grandma👩🏻
lovely. ill eat that and daydream about the depression era.

I also add sage to any clear broth soup. Kicks it up a notch in flavor.
Thank you for sharing about the sage. Thank you for watching 👩🏻
If you published a cook book with your depression era recipes, I would surely buy one. Thanks.
Thank you for your kind words. I will surely think about it. Thank you for watching 👩🏻
