Hey I’m a fan. I appreciate you making meals for two and not too expensive. I am disabled and can only balance myself for a short time, so standing half a day in the kitchen isn’t feasible for me. You have really helped me today. Thank you. 👍🏻
I have bad knees and it's hard for me to stay in for a long time I keep a stool in the kitchen that I sit on while I wash dishes or while I'm at the stove or whatever. That's the only way I can be in the kitchen for any amount of time!
Want to add a little kick to your soup. Add SALSA I put it in my Chile and vegetables soup. It is also great for when you don't have any fresh bell peppers and onion. The salsa totally works as a replacement.
We just defrosted the freezer the other day and I found two 1/2 pound bags of hamburg, and then you put this video up. What perfect timing! I love seeing practical recipes for two people, and liked that little comment about maybe for two meals. I cook that way a lot! Thanks for the good videos.
You are the only person I've seen that uses the back of your knife to scrape so that it doesn't get dull. I do that as well. You should mention that people understand why. Everything looks delish. tfs
Thank you! My husband has been gone for 2 yrs in and outta of hospitals and nursing homes so its hard to cook for just 1. I just love your channel. Never tried okra before.... but I have put cabbage in my veggie soup.
Thanks Tammy, both soups look so scrumptious. You make every meal look so easy. Thanks to Chris too, great filming and being that extra hand when you need him.
Hope everybody else reads the comments like I do these are some very nice comments to you Tammy and even if people aren't hungry for these right now these would be good things to have in just a couple of bowls in the freezer to get out on those days when you don't feel good or you just don't feel like cooking they're both comforting and wonderful meals my mom used to make a dish of stuffed peppers and wrap them in singles because that is what she got hungry for especially in the middle of the winter so do what you need to do but a little freezer these will keep a couple of months and by that time you'll have all this used up easily
Love it! Just like grandmother used to make and it’s been passed down to me! Nothing like a simple meal for the winter especially living where snow action hits the ground lolol the only thing I always leave out is the okra due to its tendency to get slimy lol my nana always fried my own
It looks so good I remember my grandmother making home made soup with the left overs from Sunday dinner I sure miss the old fashioned way of cooking So thank u and y’all have a great week
My granny cooked lamb roast on every Sunday. By Thursday it was made into soup with elbow noodles and hamburger plus all the left over vegetables from the week. Boy, those were the best years 😊.❤
Oh wow...that does bring back great memories of my grandmother’s soup made from vegetables from her garden! The only issue I have is that now I’m craving a bowl with a piece of hot cornbread!
Your soups look delicious !! It's just the two of us like you and Chris so smaller portions are the way to go. I wish I had all the ingredients ready to go as it's supposed to snow here in the morning which doesn't happen that often in Texas. LOL Ya'll have a fun trip and enjoy your soup when you get home. Blessings to you and Chris !! Love your videos !!
I really like the cooking for two recipes you have done. My daughter moved out 2 years ago. My son graduated in May 2022 and left for the Navy in June 2022. I’m adjusting but my purpose in life I have to rediscover now and it isn’t very easy. My son leaving has been really hard. I constantly worry with the political environment right now. I still cook for 4. Just a few weeks ago I cooked 4 baked potatoes…lol. I get out 4 plates sometimes. It’s hard to break the habit. I still cook way to much so I really enjoy the cooking for two videos.
You are such a multi tasker! Thank you so much for the recipes for two. I am a senior citizen and these recipes are great for people like me. You are the best Tammy!!!
Tammy that veggie soup looks delicious.. I've never thought about adding any of my garden purple hull peas. Today is soup weather for sure. I will be making some veggie soup. My Granny always added elbow macaroni to her soup, so do I. I enjoy watching you cook. Thanks for sharing. Peace.
Love this idea, making 2 different pots of goodness at the same time. I like corn in chili. This is perfect for the 2 of us. Salt and pepper is easy to add at the end. Thank you Tammy and Chris, love ya!😋❤😋❤
Hubby and I made a full 6qt crockpot of soup Tuesday and finished it last night. Vegetable Beef...was soooooo good!!😋😋 It's wonderful that you have all those memories with your grandmothers🥰
Hi Tammy, I just got on TH-cam and seen you cooking these delicious soups. This morning I purchased from Amazon a Instant Pot Duo Evo Plus Pressure Cooker 10 in 1, 6 Qt, 48 One Touch Programs for $119.00 I can't wait to receive it and cook some Ham Hocks and Great Northern Beans and bake some corn bread.
thank you Tammy and Chris.. retired couple here in indiana and love these two soups! usually make abig pot of veg soup and freeze that. cant wait to try the chili ! have a great week !
Hi Tammy and Chris! I always cooked for a big fami!y, now its just me and my grandson. This was helpful. First time I used a can of mixed veg and leftovers for soup, it tasted like spicy V8 when it was done. I sipped the soothing comforting broth and used my immersion blender to crush the veg to finish eating it, so satisfying. I,m plum soup content right now. Reminded me of my gramps with the horse and plow, plowing up vegetables and us following behind throwing em in a box to store under the house all winter. Come late winter or early spring, I had to go down there and fetch more food. My auntie always said watch out for the copper heads, then I didn't wanna go anymore, but we had to have food. I don't know why we didn't dig a cellar, since it was tornado country. We used to live at Joplin, I'm glad we moved.
That's clever to chop up peppers in little baggies in the freezer. I'm going to make these dishes. God bless, Tammy and Chris. Your family is in my prayers!
Great idea. Divide up and make one soup and another chili. Looked delicious. I am one to put macaroni in my vegetable soup. I like the small elbow macaroni.
Looks so good for a cold day. It’s getting pretty cold for Houston. All the grandkids want it to snow!😁 probably not here, but you can wish. You know Tammy Instill make a big ole pot of soup even though it’s just me and my husband, but I try to share with my neighbors, and we eat on it a few days so I don’t have to cook. 🥰
Tammy I do this quite often since it’s only me. I just clean out the frig. And I put a little butter in .But I must say I don’t make chilli like this because I want to make a huge pot and cook it for a long time .If I make it like this I feel like it’s just not chilli. I love your top.God bless.
Walmart has a $10 small crockpot that's perfect for 1 or 2 people. If you're making a big batch to freeze some, use a larger crockpot. I use the small one to make chili for the 2 of us and it works great. Have done the same thing for church potluck using a larger one. May have to adjust the recipe, a bit for it to fit in the small crockpot. I use a lb of burger and leave out the beans. Hope this helps. May God bless you, as well.
To make my food stretch, I do this also. Say for ham I will make ham,egg and cheese scramble. Then another dinner scalloped potatoes and ham. Love your show. Pat
i make 3 ....spaghetti tacos and soup / my 3 pot wonders . i live alone . and it saves me from overworking and my bills . use any noodle r add to either as u choose . salad along with all 3 .
I love soups and chili any time. It always brings backs memories from cooking with my grandmother. Could you tell me the size of those sauce pans you used for these recipes?
Oh my goodness!! How wonderfully warming and soothing those 2 soups sound and look! Gosh, when is someone going to invent taste-o-vision?? Smell-o-vision is ok, but I want to GET some right out of the pot!!! Thank you so much for explaining everything so simply, I do dislike when a teacher assumes that you already know certain things.....annoying, indeed. May 2021 be nothing but blessings for you and yours!! Love and God Bless from Della.
In TX when we make chili, it is just meat and possibly some tomato sauce and of course spices. No beans and certainly no veggies. Like when you open a can of Hormel, it is meat, no veggies.
Yum! I want to share that I always add Cumin, onion and garlic powder to my chili and paprika. My Mom used to sometimes put meatballs in her vegetable soup. Of, course, not as quick, unless you have some frozen. But very good if you have the time. Today is personally a hard day for me. Anniversary of my husband's passing. Your videos cheer me up so much. Thank you!
I Smiled when I saw your recipes for Chili Vegetable Soup. Very time I try to do Small, I am back to BIG. ! LOL LOL 😆 But you gave me some New Ideals. Did you forget the Corn 🌽 Bread 🍞.? Like Very Good
Hey Missy...it is freezing here in New Mexico...that soup would hit the spot for sure! I wanted to ask, have you ever used Williams Chili Seasoning? When I don't have the NM red chili powder, I used the Williams...it is really good. Stay warm!
Why do you choose to season your chili with basil? Normally cooks use oregano. I add cumin too. Just a thought… Thanks for your delightful and informative videos. I wish I had been able to see these back in the 70s when this Ohio girl came to Oklahoma as a new bride to an Okie man. I had never fried a single thing. LOL
Tammy you make cooking the simple dishes fun. I love you because my hubby is sick and I have so much to do. Your meals are. Perfect. I will make the chili and soup next week. Bless you Tammy and Chris.🍵🫕🍱🍝🥗🥦🥬🌽🥕🌶🍆🍍🍒🍋🫒🌽🥬🥒🥩🧅🫒🥕🥙
You will find this hard to believe but add some yellow mustard in your bowl of chili ! So good! Think of it this way: don’t you put mustard on your chili dog? 👍
I make my vegetable soup and chili the same way, except no beans in my chili. Never heard of adding butter to the soup though. I’ll have to try that. Love your videos Tammy. Love you!
Can add some (all) of the drained juices from the hamburger to add fat and flavor. I know fat is being frowned upon, but some fat is vital to keeping the body functioning. In this case, I'd prefer the beef flavor over the equivalent amount of fat in butter. BTW, I leave the beans out of my chili, as well. :-)
Hey I’m a fan. I appreciate you making meals for two and not too expensive. I am disabled and can only balance myself for a short time, so standing half a day in the kitchen isn’t feasible for me. You have really helped me today. Thank you. 👍🏻
I have the same problem, broken hip! Appreciate simple recipes.
I have bad knees and it's hard for me to stay in for a long time I keep a stool in the kitchen that I sit on while I wash dishes or while I'm at the stove or whatever. That's the only way I can be in the kitchen for any amount of time!
I wish she was my neighbor!! I love EVERYTHING about her.
Want to add a little kick to your soup.
Add SALSA
I put it in my Chile and vegetables soup. It is also great for when you don't have any fresh bell peppers and onion. The salsa totally works as a replacement.

I love how soup can basically be anything you have on hand too that a home chef knows how to flavorfully throw together lolol
Love this video. I’m going to fix a pot f each. Thanks for your show. I love everything you do.
Thanks for making smaller portions. I’m only cooking for one.
You are the only person I've seen that uses the back of your knife to scrape so that it doesn't get dull. I do that as well. You should mention that people understand why. Everything looks delish. tfs
I have 7 quarts of veggie beef going in pressure canner right now. So good on a cold day
Thank you! My husband has been gone for 2 yrs in and outta of hospitals and nursing homes so its hard to cook for just 1. I just love your channel. Never tried okra before.... but I have put cabbage in my veggie soup.
Thanks Tammy, both soups look so scrumptious. You make every meal look so easy. Thanks to Chris too, great filming and being that extra hand when you need him.
Looks great! Glad I had my homemade vegetable beef soup tonight!

Love seeing smaller portion meals...looks delicious 😋
My granny used to add elbow macaroni to her soup.
I still do! Any of the small shaped pasta will work. Add it at the end of cooking, in time for it to cook, as well.
My granny did also. 😊
Thank you for both of these recipes, as they look great for a cold, chilly day! They seem simple and I cannot wait to try them.😋😋
Love it! Just like grandmother used to make and it’s been passed down to me! Nothing like a simple meal for the winter especially living where snow action hits the ground lolol the only thing I always leave out is the okra due to its tendency to get slimy lol my nana always fried my own

Looks delicious! I love recipes for 2. I live by myself. Thank you and God bless!

Yummy...both recipes look so very nice and delicious especially in this season of cold winter weather. These are my go-to meals during this time 😋

I love homemade soup Mrs Tammy and chill
That's very clever, Tammy. Thank you. I will definitely have to try making these soups. No fuss is my motto.

Thank You Tammy. I never thought of using V8juice. Love okra too. Your such a Sweetie Pie. You and Chris have a blessed weekend.
I just love watching you Tammy😁❤️Learning from you too.its so relaxing!
I’m with Chris, no corn in my chili!!! Now I have to go check my cabinets and see what soup/chili I can whip up lol
Save the corn for soup! Yummmm.....
They both look delicious 💕
That looks so delicious. And being just the two of now, so convenient and quick too. Oh wanted to say your roosters pin is cute.😊
Just love you, Tammi. Cant wait to make both the soup and the chili. I'll have to make some cornbread to go with both.
Hi Tammy and Chris. Thank you for doing this video. I so look forward to them.
nice old Saladmaster pots😉
Put a little apple cider vinegar with that okra and it won’t be slimy and, to me, it tastes sooo good

Hey Tammy.....in the recipe for chili you left out the can of water. thought you might want to know. 😉
Well hello there...my favorite kind of soup and chili.
Looks good, Tammy. I made hamburger veggie soup last week. I do the same thing, use what veggies I have & frozen too. I use Rotel in my chili too. 👍🍲❤
