My grandmother cared for her family during the Great Depression and I remember that she always ate soup often. They are so economical yet comforting. She lived to the age of 106.
WOW!!! How neat! Do you have any of her recipes???
@@homemadesimplewithlori as I recall she did not leave specific recipes. My best memories are of left over bite size pieces of pork roast (which is also the most economical roast) added in with corn, green beans, carrot, onion, celery, tomato, okra combined with a tasty broth. Small portions of a variety of vegetables is the trademark of a good vegetable soup. They enhance each other.
I love to make minestrone soup. In order to make the pasta not absorb the liquid as much its a good idea to make the pasta separately, under cook it for a few minutes, strain it and shock it cold.... then throw it in your soup last. My other favorite soups include ham and pea soup, chicken soup, cabbage soup and turkey soup
That is such a good tip! Thank you for that!!!!
I love soup and making soup. Our favorites potato and ham soup, chicken noodle soup, poor man soup (hamburger veggie), minestrone is another. Another isn't really a soup but we eat a lot of chili during the winter.
I totally think of chili as a soup!!! Good list!!
Hi Lori! I had never heard of Bargain Hunt. We just relocated, and we have one in our town! I am "souper" excited to check it out! You are such a blessing. I really enjoy your content.
YAY!!! Now it may take a few trips for you to become a fan. It’s got a little of everything and it’s sort of hit and miss….but if you give it time i think you’ll love it!!!!
We always cook pasta, rice etc. separate from the soup, just add them to bowl prior to serving the hot soup will warm up your filler. Prevents swelling in the rice and pasta
Thanks!!!!
We do this, too. My husband is gluten free and it allows us to cook a small amount of gf pasta for him and regular pasta or dumplings for the rest of us.
That stock is excellent in flavor and quality. It's a real space saver.
YES!!! I love it!!!!
I’m making chicken and dumplings today . I found a bag of cooked chicken in the freezer so I’m going to use it today . I like beans in my taco soup and it feeds more people. Sometimes I will add leftover rice. Just don’t add your pasta until the last thing . Maybe add chopped potatoes to the bbq chicken soup to make heartier and not as soupy. Great recipes and ideas . Thank you ! 👏
I realized I forgot my beans in the taco soup too late 😂😂😂😂
Good tips on the other soups! Thanks!!
Potato soup is our Sunday fav….so easy breezy
Yum!!! I love potato soup!!
Love a good soup and these all look amazing!💚💜💚💜
Yay!! Thanks!
Its ao great ro have a big bowl of soup to eat on for lunches and not have to wonder "what's for lunch" all the time ... They look delicious ❤
YES!!!! So true!
My daughter loves cooking frozen mixed vegetables with corn beef. So simple, yet so good.
That does sound easy!
All those look divine!
Thanks for including the recipes!
❤️❤️❤️
We live in Michigan and I make homemade soup all winter.
🎉🎉🎉
You, my dear, are amazing!!!!!
😘😘😘
I love making soup, some of my faves are; stuffed pepper, potato, split pea & chicken dumpling. I'm always on the look out for something new to try.
I’ve never heard of stuffed pepper soup!!! I need to look it up!
My family really likes gumbo, chicken noodle soup, chilli, and cheeseburger soup. These are some they all seem to like.
I always forget about cheeseburger soup! I don’t know that I’ve ever even had that!!!! Got a recipe to share?????
I could listen to you talk all day!! Thanks for the inspiration. Going to throw together an Instant Pot soup with some stuff I have sitting around the pantry 😊
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Why have I never thought of those cheese toasties!? We serve all kinds of rolls and garlic bread, etc with meals but I’ve never toasted bread with cheese slices right on them under the broiler. My kids are going to loooove that!
Ha! I hope they do!!! Totally take credit!!
I love a pot of soup because I can have the leftovers for lunch. I've also been able to freeze soups that don't contain potatoes with good results!
Such a good tip!!
It’s nice to know your channel is still goin strong! I see u are still whipping up some delectable meals. 😋 Personally i don’t make too many soups although i loved these soup ideas and will b trying them all 😊
How sweet!!!! Thanks for the encouragement and for checking in!! ❤️❤️❤️
I use to love eating soups but I just recently aquired a dairy allergy thanks to a tick bite so its really hard to have soup and I have a nickle allergy so I can't have tomatoes in the can but I made vegetable beef soup the other day with just diced tomatoes not from a can, frozen vegetables, potatoes, celery, onion, stew beef, beef base and it was really good I also make chicken noodle sometimes. Great menu Lori take care and have a great day!
Sorry about the allergies!!! Those ticks are terrible!! We used to have them bad but the guineas have taken care of them!!! Hope you can recover!
@homemadesimplewithlori I hope so they say sometimes after a few years it gets better we will see for now I am in for the long haul!
My son developed a sudden dairy sensitivity after round up exposure. Raw milk helped him be able to do dairy again along with detoxing his body. I’m sorry you’re battling that. I hope it gets better soon!
@@mangopuppybaby thank you I hope it gets better too because vegan cheese is not the best. 😔🤢
What did you use to detox??
I Love soups of all kinds. These all look and sound amazing. I wish My family enjoyed soups but they don't.
Thank you!! That’s too bad about your family not wanting soup!!!
Im the only one that likes soup in my house too. I make big pots full and i split them into containers and put them in the freezer. This way i have all kinds of different soups on different days... maybe that could help you too🥰
Chicken noodle/corn soup is my all time favorite soup. And like you said, this is the perfect time of year for it! Does Lane eat the soups too? I have a 3 year old who will refuse to eat anytime we have soups, so I was wondering if you have any tips for me.
Lane hates supper time 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️. He cries everytime I say it’s time for supper! I have zero tips. We are in this together ❤️❤️
My oldest ate soup right out the gate! My youngest, exact opposite, natch. I started by giving him the solids instead, and I daresay maybe even separate them out if you've got to! Small dices of cooked carrot, potato, ham, things like that. Eventually he got old enough to where I was able to explain that everyone else was having the broth, and he should too.
Maybe allowing your little to help pick the items out at the grocer, help cut soft things with a plastic knife, help stir the soup (with supervision), or even choose a special bowl or mug or spoon to use might help. Best of luck! Lori's right - we're all in this together!
You ran out of sour cream! That is an emergency!😂 These soups look delicious. I like when multiple recipes use the same ingredients but taste different. It's a big money saver. I hope your immune system keeps you well.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. For real! What was I thinking????
Have you ever used barley in soup? I am looking to add some healthier grains into my cooking but don’t know where to start.
I actually tried to order some the other day for a Walmart order, but they couldn’t fill it. That was the first time I have tried to have that in the pantry but I am planning to find some good ways to use it!! I’ll keep you posted on that--I hope you’ll do the same for me!
@ I will let you know
@@libraryslugwe use it in our chicken soup sometimes instead of dumplings, noodles, or rice. A friend of mine has a blog called My Food Storage Cookbook and she's got a great explanation about barley (there are more processed and less processed kinds) in her Beef Barley Soup recipe, which we also enjoy. I hope this helps!
Our Bargain Hunt is closing. ☹️
No!!!!!!! That means I need to go every week to make sure this one knows it’s needed 😬😬😬
