      @SuzieQ-lw2kp 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      My favorite soup is lentil soup then vegetable soup third is tomato soup. The first soup you made peaked my interest big time because I love buttermilk but I think I will also trying the broccoli ham soup that sounds very good to me. Great Video 💛

      I would try them all. Like you I may add seasonings if needed. I love a good tomato soup, Zuppa, chicken tortilla, broccoli cheese, clam chowder, corn chowder…..well pretty much any good tasting soup! I agree, I love soup at all times of the year.😊

      I grew up in Northeast Ohio and soup was something we always had year around. I read once that the most ordered item at restaurants was soup in that part of Ohio. I love all types of homemade soup. I don't serve can soups and only buy cream soups for casserole recipes. Saturday was house cleaning day, and a large pot of soup was made because that didn't create a lot of dishes to wash. The leftovers became lunch for several days. If we didn't have soup on Saturday, we would have it on Monday from leftover Sunday roasts.

      My favorite soup but I am sick is cream of potato my favorite general soup is my mom’s vegetable soup which has no recipe if she does whatever had been frozen during the previous time little bit of leftover vegetables that were made for dinner that we had you don’t like a tablespoon of this or that so it was never the same twice. I’m trying every one of these soups. I love everything you choose to do my favorite thing about the soups is that little red Pyrex bowl that was the same bowl in the 60s that we gave my sister’s cat wet food in. It makes me giggle and brings back fond memories.

    This was my grandmother’s favorite soup book and when we had to put her in assisted-living she gave me her entire cookbook collection and this is still one of my favorite books in it. She has all kinds of notes scribbled in it. I will treasure it forever.

    Cooking the Books is quickly becoming my favorite channel. The recipes are so fun and interesting, and I love hearing the details about the publishing and history of the cookbooks. Having chronic illness, I'm not always up to cooking (and the following cleanup) and the channel scratches the cooking itch. There are so many things I like about the show, the recipes are both familiar and unusual due to the lens of the period they are from. Your channel is so engaging!

    Sometimes I attach a clip on pants hanger to the top of a cookbook and hang it from the door handle on my kitchen cabinets, in order to hold the book open and keep it up and out of the way. I got the idea from some helpful household hints guy who did a TV show on PBS years ago.

    I appreciate that you take the time to appreciate the artistry of each vintage cookbook. It's a shame that the charm of those illustrations and whimsical letterforms is gone today. I have a collection of 1920s and '30s booklets from sources such as Jell-O and Heinz 57, handed down from my grandmother. You learn a lot about the world at that time from those little publications.

      @@cooking_the_books another favorite of mine was my mom's chicken noodle soup. Back in the 70s, during the height of fad diets, it was advised to bake your chicken when you had it. So we ate a lot of baked chicken. Mom would save the bones and pan drippings. The drippings would get the fat taken off it. When she had about a cup of drippings she would boil the bones, backs and necks to get as much flavor and the meat off it. Strain out the bones add the drippings, about a cup of celery or celery salt, and about 2 carrots. Add in the meat you got from the bones. Bring to boil cook until vegetables are done add any noodle type and as much as you want. S&p in your bowl to taste. If she fried chicken she boiled it first then coated it browned it in a pan finished it in the oven. The water she boiled it in was reduced to a broth and saved for soup too.

    I just discovered your channel today and I am really digging it. Love your vibe and approach. And, as someone who can't cook at all but dreams to someday be able to, yours is the first channel that I've found that feels like something I could watch and actually learn from. Something about the way you describe what you do and why makes it easy to envision doing it myself.

    • @dianaarmitage512
      @dianaarmitage512 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I am teaching my husband to cook and he's in his seventies so good for you! There's no time like the present. When we were first married in 1977, he firmly declared that he had zero interest in the kitchen. The dining room was his focus.
      I was very sneaky and introduced the barbecue. I was legitimately scared of gas from a propane tank so I pronounced him my Grill King for safety reasons. He stepped up as men do and from then on it was steady progress in the cooking department.
      Last night he did a bechamel sauce (flour, butter, seasoning, and milk) for our homemade cream of chicken soup and you should have seen him beaming! For every form of art there is a moment of pride and reflection when you're done but there's nothing like a well prepared meal for creative satisfaction (the sight, the aroma, the feel of steamy goodness). Then of course you eat it so double the joy. Good luck to you! You'll have loads of fun (until the dishes, LOL).

      This channel popped up on my feed today. Making my way through the content. Great personality and enjoyable presentation. I actually had no idea others have the 'problem' of collecting old cookbooks. Kicker is I barely cook, but when I see a vintage cookbook when I am out at thrift stores, garage sales, or flea markets, I *have* to have it. Particularly like the church collection fundraising ones or from old defunct local restaurants. I'm almost motivated to break some open and make some recipes after watching some of the videos on here. Very cool.

      My grandson was my pride & joy for several summers (3/9 years old then) & the little neighbor boy from across the street were best buddies. Both were both very picky eaters UNTIL...I made them some 'Great Depression' potato soup just the way my mother made it for me back in the very early late 1930's when she ran out of $$$, or when I was sick. Chopped up potatoes & onions cooked in water which I didn't drain out...butter, whole milk, hard grated cheese, S&P. They were great fans of this 'Great Depression' soup, but don't understand the history of it. They don't understand what it did to this country. In today's world they are both very close to their forties, & are professional men. GS has his MSW in Social Work, as Mental Health Therapist. Neighborhood boy is now a Doctor of Internal Medicine. So...that's what eating Potato Soup does for you when you are a little child. It can turn you into Professionals in the Medical world. LOL!!! LOL!!! As for myself, I attended Culinary Arts school during College years, & believe it or not, the class spent half a day being taught to make potato soup when there isn't anything else to eat. And, I lived through WW2's food rationing, & the ration books with the stamps from the Government. Mama had her 'Victory Garden' with lots of potatoes growing under the ground. My job was hoeing & weed pulling. If you never had fresh potatoes directly from the ground that were freshly washed & boiled & made into any recipe, you have really missed a beautiful thing. My memories were quickly awakened when you mentioned 'Potato Soup'. Thank you for your thoughts about making this historic soup, and jogging my memories of so many happy things & I am looking forward to watching you making it. Thank you, & stay safe.

    Not your fault, but you have managed to make me feel old today. I bought this vintage cookbook new in 1979, when I was freshly out of the Air Force. In the 40-plus years since, I have mainly used the cream-of-everything recipe on page 21…great cold weather soups!
    That recipe is the reason I bought my first blender.

    I’m with you about celery soup. Back in the late 50’s my mother never wasted anything. So once in a while she made cream of celery soup. I would walk through the door at lunch and literally gag. I love raw celery but there was just something about the smell of that soup I can still remember 65 years later.

    Three months and over 450 comments down the list, but here's my several cents about soup: I LOVE IT. I love to make it and eat it. I love to buy it from restaurants and eat it. I love to buy it in the supermarket and spiff it up and eat it. Here are a few of the all-time favorites:
    Mulligatawny -- So many variations to choose from, but I kind of like it as a medium-thick, tomato-based soup with rice, some onions and carrots and chopped apple, and spiced with curry powder and cloves.
    Tom Kha -- Spicy Thai soup with mushroom and green onion, flavored with lemongrass, galangal (like ginger), coconut milk, lime leaf, and cilantro.
    Pozole -- Chicken or pork, with chilis and lots of whole hominy kernels (makes it look like a bowl full of molars).
    Borscht -- My Eastern European DNA cries out for this!
    The "emeritus" selection is -- Three Flavors Sizzling Rice Soup from a Chinese restaurant in downtown Pasadena, California, that isn't there anymore. The three flavors were chicken, shrimp, and abalone. It made me feel like I was swimming in flavor.
    And honorable mention goes to -- My very own vegetarian pea soup. Chunky with sautéed mirepoix, sometimes potato chunks, sometimes mushrooms, and the smoky taste comes from a bit of liquid smoke (not from pork product).

    "Sometimes I start cooking thinking I have something when I really don't" - Yesterday I made a roasted tomato soup and realised I forgot to buy some Worcestershire sauce (not something I usually keep) for the recipe, so I used some barbecue sauce instead, since I vaguely recalled worcester is an ingredient in that.

    My family has an old potato soup recipe. My great grandmother grew up on it during the Depression. You boil potatoes and onions (I don't like onions, so I use onion powder) until the potatoes are ALMOST tender (until they only need a couple minutes left to be to your liking). Drain all the water out and cover the potatoes in whole milk. Salt and pepper to taste (I use A LOT of pepper). Cube up a stick of butter, and add to the soup. Heat until the soup is hot, the butter is melted, and the potatoes are done cooking. Crunch up saltines into your bowl of soup, and mix it in. That will thicken the soup and add flavor and texture. The recipe has been passed down in our family, and I crave it when it gets cold!

    The best thing about soup? Homemade cheese scones. You probably would call them biscuits but they need to be made with butter and full on English Cheddar (not processed)!!I
    Two regulars in our home were Chicken Broth and Minestrone. I noticed when I lived in the States that you could get Chicken Noodle everywhere but you don't see it much in the UK - our main soups are Minestrone and variations of Cream of Mushroom.

    When I was little, my grandmother used to make potato soup (no cheese though), probably to use up leftover potatoes from the day before. I think about that soup at least as often as men on tikt0k think about the Roman Empire, but I’ve never made it. Maybe this is my sign!

    I love soup in the winter. I gave my daughters a good basic cookbook when they mo ed out on their own. My husband always laughs at my soup making. I try to make small amounts and end up with my largest stock pot.

      @annseabolt6645 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I hear you. I find it almost impossible to make a small amount of soup. I try to make enough for only a couple of meals but it’s hard.

    The broccoli soup was definitely intriguing. I love corn chowder. I grew up in Indiana, and never had it until I moved to New England. I always start by frying bacon, remove when crispy, add the onion and potato, fry them a bit in the bacon fat, then add the corn, fried bacon and the broth. Then the milk. I use potato flakes to thicken. Gotta be careful not to add too much, but it doesn't detract from the flavor. I think soups taste better if you cook them until the potatoes lose their edges. They also naturally start to thicken the soup, too. I always add potato flakes, butter, and way more pepper or hot sauce to my bowl. I'm weird though. The kids just gobble it down straight. Well, I call them kids, but at 23 and 21, they are freeloaders right now. Soups are so budget friendly, until they move out, Mama's making soup!

    The buttermilk corn chowder soup sounds lovely - I'm going to try that, minus the bacon. I do like bacon, but I'm vegetarian, so there you go. :-)

    On that potato soup, try adding a bit of nutmeg. It should bring out the more earthier flavor of the potato. For me, just to make it heartier and interesting, I'd add some kind of mushrooms, and garnish with some scallion.

    re: the potato soup ... cook the potatoes in chicken broth , use a large white onion and some green onions too , add 2 or 3 celery ribs , use evaporated milk and dilute w/more chicken broth and use american cheese or Velveeta ❤❤❤

    A friend of mine had a cookbook that was at that time was over 100 years old. Many of the submissions were made by first ladies. There was one from Martha Washington submitted by another first lady. Dolly Madison was in it a couple times . I tried a recipe called mock turtle soup. It wasn't for me plus it called for a wine and I used cooking wine big mistake. It called for hard boiled eggs the yoke made the broth off putting for me plus it was pretty salty. Had I knew then what I know now it probably would have been better. It also had sick room recipes like beef tea, cough syrup, mustard plaster ect also cleaning suplies and other house hold needs, and laundry tips. It was an interesting read.

    I’ve made all of those, but people in my family worked for Meredith Corp so all cookbooks (and sewing books) were BHG. I leave the pasta out of the broccoli soup.

    I have a favorite BHG cookbook my mom sent me when I graduated college. 1979. It's chapters are divided by months and recipes with what is in season in those months. Plus in the back basics on meat, poultry, breads. Cakes etc. It is wonderfully laid out with full color photography AND line drawings. It is so special to me because she wrote an inscription in it to me and now she has passed. Thanks Anna.

    Soup season is year round in my house because thankfully Hubby loves soup. But I have to giggle with your tiny little soup pans. I know you are cutting the recipe in half but I have to get out the "canning pot" to make soup. I make enough to have dinner that night, lunch for hubby the next day and a few quarts in the freezer for days that I have no idea what to cook or time to cook. 🙂

    My favorite is hamburger soup with cabbage. I grew up near St. Louis and had never heard of hamburger soup until I moved to Northwest Indiana when I got married 46 years ago. Both my ex husband and my current husband grew up on it. The soups you made looked delicious!

On another note, I made "Praline Squares" out of the Betty Crocker Cooking For Two cookbook the other day. I was shocked at HOW DELICOUS that recipe was!! 🙂
