Yep! Lol I make a dry mix that you just add the veggies/meat and water to whenever you get ready to make it. I have a video on my channel "cream of everything soup dry mix". We love it!
@@lyndiafentress4405 if they have dairy in it, you technically aren't supposed to "can" them per safety guidelines, but I have seen people do it. I prefer to do my dry mix recipe and make it fresh when needed, only takes a couple mins.
Love the apron! When I was young, aprons were out of style. My mother-in-law started her day by putting on her apron and it remained until bed time. I thought, Oh, how old fashioned! Then, I started learning the “old ways” and started preparing my own baby food and meals from scratch. Even when I worked 60-70 hours a week, my weekends were spent making meals for the week. I quickly learned that an apron saved my clothes from a lot of stains!! It took years to find an apron that was actually comfortable but if you’re going to actually work, an apron or two are absolutely necessary accoutrements!!
To make your cream of mushroom soup gourmet put a little thyme in with your mushrooms and onions while you are sautéing them. Make it with half and half instead of milk. After the soup is nearly done put in a cap full of sherry or white wine into it. Let it cook off a little. Now you have delicate, delicious gourmet soup. It makes casseroles extra special, also.
I picked up a can of cream of mushroom soup last week at the store, read the ingredients, was disgusted, and returned it to the shelf. Thank you for this recipe. Liked and subscribed 🎉
This recipe is so helpful and not complicated at all. Just the idea that I’m not putting harmful ingredients into my family makes the little extra time needed to do this so worthwhile.
Thanks for the recipe on making cream soups. I buy my canned soup on sale for $6.50 for 12 tins (.54 cents a tin. Quick and easy for me . I always have a case or two of cream of mushroom soup on hand as well as cream of tomato soup. I use the soups to make gravies and use them all the time for my casseroles and when I make cabbage rolls. These are bought on sale otherwise they can be as much as $2 for one tin. I even make sauces for stroganoff I'm just tough to add sour cream or yogurt. Bovril makes a wonderful colouring for gravies.
Ruth Ann you and your family are amazing. I am 73 yrs old and have learned so much from you. I have watched so many of your vids and I am never bored. You are so real to life and God put you here to show us how simple but hard working life can be. May you and your family be blessed!
My Mom always had a can or mug of bacon fat in the fridge and then came the time when we were told that was bad for us and along came vegetable seed oils. Now we're back at square one😅 Thank you for this.
Lol we must be the same generation. My mum always had cold fat (from bacon etc) in the fridge. It’s crazy that we went from A to Z and back again. You have to wonder about the impact on processed food leading to ADHD etc and allergies.
I save all my fats when I do chicken broth beef broth and turkey broth and put them in ice cube trays and freeze them. Then bag them up and put them back in the freezer. I don't do that muck bacon but I do have my fat cup in thr fridge. Wonderful for drop biscuits.
There’s even a book talking about how animal fats were used! When we buy a cow for processing, I always request the fat be given in bags so I can melt and freeze. It can be canned, too. I was raised that chicken fat should be saved and used for frying. It has a mild flavor. I gave up pork when my best friend died of an antibiotic resistant bacteria a few years ago. I properly cooked pork also has lots of parasites (and bacteria due to processing methods these days) and pigs are the vacuum cleaners of the earth. Junk in, junk out.
Ruth Ann, I just love all your videos I've learned so much already! You are one very intelligent woman. I would have loved to have grown up on a farm like your children. Your videos are just so refreshing to watch a Godly wholesome influence for a change. It's what our world needs more of! Keep them coming and God bless you for what you do!
I'm old. I live on a small homestead with my disabled son. Not only is our time limited, but so is storage space. This recipe is so welcome to my collection! Thank you for sharing.
I just recently made cream of celery soup with a harvest from my garden and I used white beans instead of flour to thicken it. An immersion blender is great to purée it a bit and I love the taste and texture! 💕
I didn't think young people knew they could do this. I'm impressed. They don't realize this is how it was done before Cable Soups came along. Thanks for sharing.😍
I don't know a single person in real life (not the internet), regardless of age, who knows how to do this. I used to have a neighbor in her 50s who genuinely didn't know that apples grow on trees. Age has NOTHING to do with it.
Sorry…. Had to stop the video so I could just saw WTH on the onion cutting? I’ve never seen anyone do that before. It’s brilliant!!! Many times I’ve only needed a bit of onion but chopped the whole thing. Game changer.
i am so glad to see flour on your apron and the kids making noise upstairs. This is like REAL LIFE. Many times I watch cooking videos and and they are so perfect, it makes me feel inferior. I don't know what it is, but flour just jumps up and sticks to me just by looking at it.
@@teslaandhumanity7383 No. It’s is a common flavor enhancer that is used in Japanese, Thai, Chinese and Korean food foods. I looked it up to confirm and the internet said it is known is some places and Chinese salt. 🤷🏽♀️
Me to. Years ago I got severe cramps in my leg from canned soup. Thought it was a blood clot. Knocked me to the floor. Never touched it again. The last time (years ago) I had Chinese takeout with MSG I got such a rash I was crazy for 3 days. Doctor gave me steroid shots.
I love to hear the children laughing & playing around in the background! I have 10 grandchildren & just love to see them enjoy life. God bless you & thanks for your recipes!
Thank you so much for the simple recipe. Everything we can exchange for real food is so helpful. I really wonder how far from food we have been consuming. I always thought I was a scratch cooker, until recently. Thank you for teaching your children the old ways. Gives this great grandma hope for the future.
This looks great! So sick of the oversalted versions from the store. Plus since I used my Instant Pot as my crock pot, I can make the "Cream of" soup on the saute mode and then add my other ingredients for my recipe, thus only one pan to clean at the end. Also, I have found different brands of "cream of" soups vary widely in their taste, and making your own would be the what it should taste like. Thanks for this!
I love this channel! You have so much practical homesteading knowledge and I’m thankful you take the time to share it. My grandmother was an excellent homesteader too, but unfortunately she has left this world. My mother didn’t like to cook and after a few years, we didn’t keep a garden anymore. I now have some physical disabilities and I believe they are due in large part to a lifetime of the poisons allowed in the current American diet (and water and air). Many ingredients used in American foods are illegal in other countries because of their toxicity. To maintain our health, we must be mindful of what foods and drinks we serve ourselves and our families. You are an excellent resource to help people see how they can take positive action to live their best life. Thank you! God bless you.
I personally think the older generation liked a long time (born 1900 - 1940) is because they were not surrounded by plastic, hormones in all your food, preservatives in all your food. Plus they moved a lot more then younger folks did, because they had to. So they may not have 'exercised' as such, but I think they got more physical activity in, just in the course of their day than newer generations do. If you think of it too, back in the day a lot more people farmed then do today and I know farm work is not easy.
ANOTHER TIP: To avoid the undesirable flavor of FLOUR in your soup stir it in the fat until it begins to thicken and turning brown. Same for gravies. The bad flavor of flour will then totally eliminated.
@@delladearest2511 Yes, when you add the flour to the fat (bacon grease/butter etc), if you cook that mixture just a bit more, it will eliminate the 'flour' taste, as well as give your cream of XX soup a darker coloring (brown). You want to cook the fat/flour mixture for a bit anyway because it cooks the flour to a safe temp - uncooked flour is harmful. That is the only difference between white gravy and brown gravy - how long you cook the fat/flour mixture....browning it also gives it additional flavor, but it does turn it from white to brown.
Didn't realize Campbel's had added so many extra ingredients. I have a few cans, glad there aren't too many. Thank you, Ruth Ann, this recipe looks easy to manage about the same as making gravy. As a mom of four grown children and one mature teen, who works and has purchased his own car, it is refreshing to hear your children playing and sword fighting in the background 😊 ! Brings back good memories of my kids playing and also how my brothers and I played when we were growing up. Their playing didn't seem to faze you, Ruth Ann 😊. My mom use to say "no blooding curdling screams all is well," haha!
Hello I'm new to your channel and have never made homemade cream of soups, I agree with Gabby Lowry after reading the comments, but you made it so easy to follow and not rushed. I like that. I've just retired a few months ago and I have always had fast boxed or take out foods, so I have the time and I am learning how to make foods the old fashion way and healthier.
I was making gravy for my dog because she needed help she was a rescue. When i put a bullion cube in and accidentally too much corn starch. It turned into cream of chicken soup. The dog absolutely loved it on her food. I tasted it it tasted just like Campbell's in the can.😅
I have been thickening my sauces with flour and water for years Instead of water substituted milk for cream soup just like you said canned soup is very, very bad for anyone’s health! It is well worth the effort and tastes great! Thank you!
it's basically a white sauce which can be used as the base for gravies , creamed soups , or mac and cheese or eggs benedict sauce by adding more butter and tarragon.
I have made cream soups for the last couple years and will use dehydrated mushrooms also. I also add garlic powder to the recipe. I can make this soup for pennies and know that it is so much better tasting and more nutritious. When you are cooking in large batches the cost of cream soups really add up. The recipe you just made would have added 12 dollars to the cost of a meal, for many people that would keep them home from a church get to gather.
If your soup doesn't thicken properly you can also just take a wire mesh colander/strainer that fits inside the pan yet allows the soup above the bottom of the strainer, place it in the pan and using a wisk add flour directly to the soup. Remove the strainer. This keeps lumps out of the soup.
I made mushroom cream of soup for a chicken spaghetti recipe. It was wonderful tasting. I am so happy to know I can make this from whole foods and no longer have to use a can of chemical goop. Thank you! I can't wait to try the crackers.
We are all in your debt and so grateful. Growing up my Mother did not cook. These skills are essential for every teenager. Essential. You make it so enjoyable and I am so grateful for the love and care that you devote to sharing your amazing knowledge with us. I am in Australia and am sending you many thanks from the other side of the World. I have always been intimidated by cooking and only wish I had known this . . . .lets just say 30 years ago ! God Bles you and Peace be with you and your beautiful Loved Ones !
It looks like we are slowly going back in time and cooking and baking like our grand and great grandmother's did. This soup was something new to make for me and I'm happy I stopped by to watch you make them. 😊
Thanks Ruth Ann for sharing your "cream of..." recipes. I never made a roux to start off my own soups, but now that I see what a difference it makes, I'll certainly do that.
Baby ducks are so sweet. God has designed them so that even though they've never have experienced water....they know instinctively how to swim.....God is Good. Thank you for sharing recipes and these little ducks.
The cream soups at the store have TERRIBLE UNHEALTHY ingredients which is why I don't buy them anymore. THANKS for these recipes!! P.S. Ritz Crackers are BANNED in Europe due to the unhealthy ingredients 😉 so glad you didn't use them in your casseroles!
Many moons ago I moved to the USA & I was amazed at the amount of canned stuff it took for someone in this country to make a meal. 😔. A tiny bit of nutmeg goes really well with your white sauces.
I stopped using Campbell's canned soups many years ago because of all the additives in the soup which I chose to avoid. I will buy some organic soups, but only the top brands and only after I have read what ingredients are in the soups. I love your cream recipes and hope to make some soon. You use all the ingredients I wish to consume and can't wait to try them. I am all for healthy, holistic eating, but I am not vegan or a vegetarian. However, I do consume products that are non GMO, do not use any of the toxic ingredients which can cause cancer, not do I use foods that are not antibiotic and hormone free. So happy I found your channel.
I loved your son’s reaction when you said you were adding fat🤣🤣🤣 I’ve been making cream of soups for a few years now and instead of fat I use vegetable broth. Taste’s just as good and helps keep your cholesterol down
Please consider watching a short video by Dr. Anthony Chaffee about cholesterol, the numbers and "science" are not what everyone thinks! We NEED animal / saturated fats FOR healthy cholesterol levels! The sugar companies bribed 3 Harvard professors years ago to say the heart disease, cholesterol, etc. were from fats when it was really from sugar! Dr. Ken Berry has over 800 videos on all kinds of geeky topics including cholesterol! Definitely check out the comments sections too as they are FULL of people's stories of healing and improving their health issues!!!
Our brains need cholesterol though, keeps them spongy and neurotransmitters functioning i.e. helps prevent dementia. Also, higher cholesterol reduces anxiety and depression, and some kinds of cholesterol is good for our hearts. Figuring out that not many of us need cholesterol medication does cause anxiety and depression to Big Pharma companies tho.
Campbell's soups now have genetically engineered ingredients or gmo in them. I just threw out all my soups I bought on sale awhile back. I'm not eating that garbage. Thank you for sharing.
This is basically how I make gravy, the sauce for chicken & rice, & the gravy for chicken pot pie. Thank you for this! The cream soups taste so much better homemade! It's so easy & quick too!
I am so grateful for these “cream of … soup recipes”. ❤ I have never liked canned soups due to the extreme saltiness. These recipes sound so delicious & healthy. Thank you so much. I am subscribing!
I am blown away. Ive looked for homemade cream soup recipes for awhile. Makes so much sense. All the chemicals that I can now avoid. Thank you so much and just sub'd.
I've been trying to bring myself to make this forever for exactly the reasons you talk about. The ingredients are so terrible I store bought. Thank you for this video!!
I just made your cream of recipe as a gravy and…WOW!!! Everyone loved it! 🎉 literally only one serving left. I even made it gluten free and it still tasted amazing. My daughter said it’s her new favorite! Will never have to buy those overpriced cream soup cans or gravy mixes again. Thank you so much from a very satisfied family here in Texas 🤍
So happy I stumbled upon your channel! I never knew making cream of soups could be so easy! PS. I loved your little boy when he gasped “fat?!?” And stuck out his tongue in disgust lol. Precious
My reason to start making homemade cream soups is cost. Publix Supermarket here in Florida priced Campbell's to $2.05 for one can of soup. This is insane. Thank you for your video. I'm now encouraged to make my own.
I've not bought Campbells'soups for decades, as they taste the worst of all tinned soups. I usually keep a tin (mushroom) on hand for emergency use, but choose from other brands. Mushroom is so easy to make, once you have the mushrooms! I sometimes thicken with cornstarch (cornflour in English), but have used rice flour as well. Or mealie meal.
This awesome! I no longer live in the US but still feel the need to make a few of my mothers “comfort foods” I grew up on. A few of them call for “cream soups” (celery, mushroom and chicken were mom’s staples) which are not available in my country. Now I can make the recipes! Going to get started this weekend, so thank you! 💜
Crazy, I was JUST thinking this morning about looking for recipes for a "cream of" soup from scratch because so many recipes call for it! Looking forward to learning from you! Love from Maine, Deb
Just bumped into your channel...and I said... "I wonder if she has the same recipe as I do...???" Pretty darn similar... I LOVE the added onion...besides that...the only difference is for my liquid... I sometimes I use half whole cream and half whole milk...However...I generally use just whole milk...But... I'm going to try your recipe tonight. . & see if "the boss" notices...(lol) [we aren't getting any younger... and he IS supposed to be following a reduced calorie diet...] Thanks a ton ... You've definitely gotten a head start on health issues... ps... I truly LOVE your hair!!! Blessings❣❣❣
What a wonderful life you have. I understand it is very very hard work with very high rewards in mental health. So much better than city living or suburban. A child who grows up on a farm is really lucky in so many ways. Your farm is just lovely and well taken care of. I am officially a little envious🤗🌄
My oldest is deathly allergic to dairy, and store bought cream soups are full of it. So I’ve been looking for a delicious alternative and I think this is it! He’s wanted me to make some chicken recipes, but without the cream soup, I didn’t have a non expensive alternative. These look fantastic and I can’t wait to try it. Thank you so much!
So easy and I can control the sodium! Thanks, this will be my go to now that Campbell's has gotten so very expensive and I didn't like their low sodium cream of soups at all!
I'm with you there. Why do they add so much sodium? By the time you've added other ingredients, the whole casserole/crockpot recipe is way too salty. It is a pain to have to read every label for soup, broth etc. Happy to find this video.
Hi! Please consider watching videos by Dr. David Brownstein about salt - proper salt with necessary minerals like Redmon Real, Celtic Gray, and Himalayan Pink salt. Salt is crucial for good health and I learned so much in his videos on salt and iodine. He says 97% of Americans are deficient in iodine and its needed for every cell in our bodies and deficiency causes sooooo many health issues, especially with hormones but lots of others too. All the best!
This has been a very interesting case! I was SO EXCITED to stumble upon the part 2 after watching the first part yesterday!!! Can't wait for the next one!
I really like the way you add the onion...why have I never figured that out. This will really speed up my process. I use cream of soups for cooking for a while so I've also been looking for cream of recipes for the reasons you mentioned. Really appreciate your video.
I absolutely love your videos. They're so down to earth and I really enjoy the fact that you can hear and see your family and real daily life going on. Thanks so much for sharing!👍❤️
Use the last two inches of your celery and plant it butt-down in a medium pot, it will keep on giving with a little care I promise you! Works with onions too but for scapes 🌼 thanks for this recipe!
Hi there! I just found your channel. I love the recipe for cream soups. You are right about it being all natural and no added suspicious stuff. Your voice is very calming. ❤
This is great. I love adding a can of cream of chicken soup to my homemade chicken soup, but after reading the ingredients it's not very desirable. I didn't realize that making "cream of starter" was so simple. Thank you.
Busy times for sure. This is a lovely FRESH version of "Cream of ..." I've made all-powder dry recipes, never even considered this approach. DOH! Thanks so much for sharing this and have a wonderful weekend! 😊
Thank you for taking the time to show how to make Cream Of Soups. I’ve tried several times and it never turned out but now that I watched this I realized I added to much liquid to mine. I do make my own gravy that way but never thought it could make cream soup by adding different ingredients. I’ve had to change cows cream to goats cream and I can certainly use fat instead of vegan “butter” and I can use one of my other flours in place of the regular flour. I realized that nothing can replace the flavour of the original cow’s cream. 😊 That casserole looks so delicious.
Hi! Ruth, I am so glad I found you. It was by accident while scrolling through You Tube but am so glad I did! You are such a joy to watch and so informative, step by step. Thank you! ❤
Oh I have started to make my own, I love your recipe better!! Thank you for all you are doing. Teaching these things was not part of my upbringing, so I'm so incredibly grateful for you teaching it to all of us.
I just found your channel about a week ago. Have been watching your videos. I love your channel. You are the best homestead channel I have found. I love your channel. Thanks for all that you do. ❤
Over the last two years, I have had many "firsts"ie garden, learned to can etc. I have just added another "first". I made home made cream of broccoli soup. I couldn't believe how good it was! Now my asparagus is coming up..that will be my next cream of soup.
I have been watching your video's for a few days. I truly enjoy all of them. You are so amazing. And I have a 6 year old that has autism and loves to watch with me. So thank you so much for sharing your life and your wonderful family. I'm going to make your cream soup tomorrow. God bless you and your family.
Just keep a can or jar of dried heavy cream in your pantry. It can be used for anything. Buying heavy or light cream can be costly. Also you can use corn starch instead of flour. Works the same. It’s like making roué for chipped beef or white gravy. I use a lot of butter it always makes things taste great. ❤️👍🏻🖖🏻💪🏻🙋🏼♀️
I’ve been watching lots of your videos. Iso appreciate your godly work ethic and wisdom. Your family is blessed having you as a Mom. Learning lots from you! ❤️🙏 Val C
Thank you so much, you are a true blessing! I have several family members with dietary restrictions, so making our favorite Thanksgiving dishes can be challenging. I've been trying to find organic versions of many of these prepared "ingredients", and this year my usual replacements are missing from store shelves. Now I'm armed with a recipe to make my own!! I just need to find one for evaporated milk and I'm good to go for Thanksgiving and Christmas. 😊
These canned soups are too expensive for me, thank you so much for your video. Also, I almost always end up tossing half and half, heavy cream and celery, now I can make and freeze my own cream soups. I think they add corn starch or something similar, flour is okay with me. These small changes are simple ways to save the planet. I am a new subscriber
I have rendered Lard that's been put into canning jars. It's so mild in flavor. I use it in place of anything that calls for butter or seed oils. We've noticed a n increase in energy and well-being after eating our home rendered Lard. We also use cold processed coconut oil (from the Philippines). It's so good in biscuits! I will make the effort to start making our own cream soup recipes. Thx so much for the share today!
I am also allergic to the onion, garlic, and pepper corns too. The golden cream of soup has another allergen, tomatoes. I am so happy to find others making the cream of soups. I had made a batch of cream of mushroom soup about 40 years ago. People thought I was crazy and said that they didn't think it could be done. I couldn't remember what I did when I made it back then. It was the best soup ever.
Thank you very much. I am German but like to cook American recipes from time to time. I have not found any "cream of.." soups here but cream of mushrooms. So thank you for this recipe.
Did I just learn that cream of soups are basically gravy? 😅 everything is so much more simple than I realize. I appreciate your lessons!
I thought the same thing!! 😆
Yep! Lol
I make a dry mix that you just add the veggies/meat and water to whenever you get ready to make it.

Also, I have found different brands of "cream of" soups vary widely in their taste, and making your own would be the what it should taste like. Thanks for this!
I love this channel! You have so much practical homesteading knowledge and I’m thankful you take the time to share it. My grandmother was an excellent homesteader too, but unfortunately she has left this world. My mother didn’t like to cook and after a few years, we didn’t keep a garden anymore. I now have some physical disabilities and I believe they are due in large part to a lifetime of the poisons allowed in the current American diet (and water and air). Many ingredients used in American foods are illegal in other countries because of their toxicity. To maintain our health, we must be mindful of what foods and drinks we serve ourselves and our families. You are an excellent resource to help people see how they can take positive action to live their best life. Thank you! God bless you.
I personally think the older generation liked a long time (born 1900 - 1940) is because they were not surrounded by plastic, hormones in all your food, preservatives in all your food. Plus they moved a lot more then younger folks did, because they had to. So they may not have 'exercised' as such, but I think they got more physical activity in, just in the course of their day than newer generations do. If you think of it too, back in the day a lot more people farmed then do today and I know farm work is not easy.
ANOTHER TIP: To avoid the undesirable flavor of FLOUR in your soup stir it in the fat until it begins to thicken and turning brown. Same for gravies.
The bad flavor of flour will then totally eliminated.
Oohhh-you cooked for a veritable crowd😂 with grace and style. Thanks for keeping it simple. Bye- bye Campbell's. Way overpriced and way toxic.
So that would be at the beginning?
@@delladearest2511 Yes, when you add the flour to the fat (bacon grease/butter etc), if you cook that mixture just a bit more, it will eliminate the 'flour' taste, as well as give your cream of XX soup a darker coloring (brown). You want to cook the fat/flour mixture for a bit anyway because it cooks the flour to a safe temp - uncooked flour is harmful. That is the only difference between white gravy and brown gravy - how long you cook the fat/flour mixture....browning it also gives it additional flavor, but it does turn it from white to brown.
The flour needs to cook
I was taught to cook the flour 5 minutes. The fat and flour mixture should bubble lightly.
Didn't realize Campbel's had added so many extra ingredients. I have a few cans, glad there aren't too many.
Thank you, Ruth Ann, this recipe looks easy to manage about the same as making gravy.
As a mom of four grown children and one mature teen, who works and has purchased his own car, it is refreshing to hear your children playing and sword fighting in the background 😊 ! Brings back good memories of my kids playing and also how my brothers and I played when we were growing up.
Their playing didn't seem to faze you, Ruth Ann 😊. My mom use to say "no blooding curdling screams all is well," haha!
Hello I'm new to your channel and have never made homemade cream of soups, I agree with Gabby Lowry after reading the comments, but you made it so easy to follow and not rushed. I like that. I've just retired a few months ago and I have always had fast boxed or take out foods, so I have the time and I am learning how to make foods the old fashion way and healthier.
You will find out it tastes so much better!! 👍
I just retired. Can't wait to get started canning. I made tomato juice and corn. I think I did not do corn right. I will have to see how u do it
Congrats on retirement! Life is so much fuller when retired-making your own foods and time for learning those things you didn't have time for.
I was making gravy for my dog because she needed help she was a rescue. When i put a bullion cube in and accidentally too much corn starch. It turned into cream of chicken soup. The dog absolutely loved it on her food. I tasted it it tasted just like Campbell's in the can.😅
I have been thickening my sauces with flour and water for years
Instead of water substituted milk for cream soup just like you said canned soup is very, very bad for anyone’s health!
It is well worth the effort and tastes great! Thank you!
it's basically a white sauce which can be used as the base for gravies , creamed soups , or mac and cheese or eggs benedict sauce by adding more butter and tarragon.
I’m so happy I came across this channel! Thanks for the recipe and the simple instructions to make fresh cream soup!
Thank you! My dad is on a strict low salt diet. Tinned soups are horrible on salt. Now I can make his favorite casseroles which calls for cream soups!
I have made cream soups for the last couple years and will use dehydrated mushrooms also. I also add garlic powder to the recipe. I can make this soup for pennies and know that it is so much better tasting and more nutritious. When you are cooking in large batches the cost of cream soups really add up. The recipe you just made would have added 12 dollars to the cost of a meal, for many people that would keep them home from a church get to gather.
If your soup doesn't thicken properly you can also just take a wire mesh colander/strainer that fits inside the pan yet allows the soup above the bottom of the strainer, place it in the pan and using a wisk add flour directly to the soup. Remove the strainer. This keeps lumps out of the soup.
I made mushroom cream of soup for a chicken spaghetti recipe. It was wonderful tasting. I am so happy to know I can make this from whole foods and no longer have to use a can of chemical goop. Thank you! I can't wait to try the crackers.
We are all in your debt and so grateful. Growing up my Mother did not cook. These skills are essential for every teenager. Essential. You make it so enjoyable and I am so grateful for the love and care that you devote to sharing your amazing knowledge with us. I am in Australia and am sending you many thanks from the other side of the World. I have always been intimidated by cooking and only wish I had known this . . . .lets just say 30 years ago ! God Bles you and Peace be with you and your beautiful Loved Ones !
It looks like we are slowly going back in time and cooking and baking like our grand and great grandmother's did. This soup was something new to make for me and I'm happy I stopped by to watch you make them. 😊
Thanks Ruth Ann for sharing your "cream of..." recipes. I never made a roux to start off my own soups, but now that I see what a difference it makes, I'll certainly do that.
never realized how easy it was to make your own creamed soups. You have saved me a ton of money. ty
Baby ducks are so sweet. God has designed them so that even though they've never have experienced water....they know instinctively how to swim.....God is Good. Thank you for sharing recipes and these little ducks.
This is fantastic,there are so many recipes I don’t make due to all the junk in commercial canned cream soups. Thank you for sharing
The cream soups at the store have TERRIBLE UNHEALTHY ingredients which is why I don't buy them anymore. THANKS for these recipes!! P.S. Ritz Crackers are BANNED in Europe due to the unhealthy ingredients 😉 so glad you didn't use them in your casseroles!
Name one terrible unhealthy ingredient in the soups.
@@emanymton713corn, canola, soybean oil, soy protein, monosodium glutamate (MSG)
It is amazing that other countries realize how bad some ingredients.are but the US doesn't care.
It is amazing.that other countries realize.that some ingredients.are bad but the US doesn't.even care. No money in healthy.folks.
@@emanymton713you mean beside the msg and sodium.phospate? Synthetic ingredients. Which the lady even mentions in the video.
Many moons ago I moved to the USA & I was amazed at the amount of canned stuff it took for someone in this country to make a meal. 😔. A tiny bit of nutmeg goes really well with your white sauces.
My new favorite utuber is you!! I am 78 have canned since I was 23. I have learned so much from you. God Bless you and your family.❤
I stopped using Campbell's canned soups many years ago because of all the additives in the soup which I chose to avoid. I will buy some organic soups, but only the top brands and only after I have read what ingredients are in the soups. I love your cream recipes and hope to make some soon. You use all the ingredients I wish to consume and can't wait to try them. I am all for healthy, holistic eating, but I am not vegan or a vegetarian. However, I do consume products that are non GMO, do not use any of the toxic ingredients which can cause cancer, not do I use foods that are not antibiotic and hormone free. So happy I found your channel.
I loved your son’s reaction when you said you were adding fat🤣🤣🤣 I’ve been making cream of soups for a few years now and instead of fat I use vegetable broth. Taste’s just as good and helps keep your cholesterol down
His reaction was soooo cute😂🤣
Your brain needs cholesterol to stay healthy. It even manufactures its own every day.
Please consider watching a short video by Dr. Anthony Chaffee about cholesterol, the numbers and "science" are not what everyone thinks! We NEED animal / saturated fats FOR healthy cholesterol levels! The sugar companies bribed 3 Harvard professors years ago to say the heart disease, cholesterol, etc. were from fats when it was really from sugar! Dr. Ken Berry has over 800 videos on all kinds of geeky topics including cholesterol! Definitely check out the comments sections too as they are FULL of people's stories of healing and improving their health issues!!!
Our brains need cholesterol though, keeps them spongy and neurotransmitters functioning i.e. helps prevent dementia. Also, higher cholesterol reduces anxiety and depression, and some kinds of cholesterol is good for our hearts. Figuring out that not many of us need cholesterol medication does cause anxiety and depression to Big Pharma companies tho.
I agree all things in moderation. I think natural fats are not as bad for you as we are told in the news.
Campbell's soups now have genetically engineered ingredients or gmo in them. I just threw out all my soups I bought on sale awhile back. I'm not eating that garbage. Thank you for sharing.
Besides having stopped buying Campbell soups, I also stopped buying Tyson raw chicken products. For exact same reason.
This is basically how I make gravy, the sauce for chicken & rice, & the gravy for chicken pot pie. Thank you for this! The cream soups taste so much better homemade! It's so easy & quick too!
I am so grateful for these “cream of … soup recipes”. ❤ I have never liked canned soups due to the extreme saltiness. These recipes sound so delicious & healthy. Thank you so much. I am subscribing!
I am blown away. Ive looked for homemade cream soup recipes for awhile. Makes so much sense. All the chemicals that I can now avoid. Thank you so much and just sub'd.
I've been trying to bring myself to make this forever for exactly the reasons you talk about. The ingredients are so terrible I store bought. Thank you for this video!!
I just made your cream of recipe as a gravy and…WOW!!! Everyone loved it! 🎉 literally only one serving left. I even made it gluten free and it still tasted amazing. My daughter said it’s her new favorite!
Will never have to buy those overpriced cream soup cans or gravy mixes again.
Thank you so much from a very satisfied family here in Texas 🤍
So happy I stumbled upon your channel! I never knew making cream of soups could be so easy! PS. I loved your little boy when he gasped “fat?!?” And stuck out his tongue in disgust lol. Precious
This is so helpful because in my country they don't sell creme of soup. Thank you! ❤
My reason to start making homemade cream soups is cost. Publix Supermarket here in Florida priced Campbell's to $2.05 for one can of soup. This is insane. Thank you for your video. I'm now encouraged to make my own.
I've not bought Campbells'soups for decades, as they taste the worst of all tinned soups. I usually keep a tin (mushroom) on hand for emergency use, but choose from other brands. Mushroom is so easy to make, once you have the mushrooms! I sometimes thicken with cornstarch (cornflour in English), but have used rice flour as well. Or mealie meal.
This awesome! I no longer live in the US but still feel the need to make a few of my mothers “comfort foods” I grew up on. A few of them call for “cream soups” (celery, mushroom and chicken were mom’s staples) which are not available in my country. Now I can make the recipes! Going to get started this weekend, so thank you! 💜
I just love this lady's teachings and recipes. So glad I found her channel! Thank you, Mrs. Z!!!
Crazy, I was JUST thinking this morning about looking for recipes for a "cream of" soup from scratch because so many recipes call for it! Looking forward to learning from you!
Love from Maine,
Deb
Just bumped into your channel...and I said... "I wonder if she has the same recipe as I do...???"
Pretty darn similar... I LOVE the added onion...besides that...the only difference is for my liquid... I sometimes I use half whole cream and half whole milk...However...I generally use just whole milk...But... I'm going to try your recipe tonight. . & see if "the boss" notices...(lol) [we aren't getting any younger... and he IS supposed to be following a reduced calorie diet...]
Thanks a ton ... You've definitely gotten a head start on health issues...
ps... I truly LOVE your hair!!!
Blessings❣❣❣
What a wonderful life you have. I understand it is very very hard work with very high rewards in mental health. So much better than city living or suburban. A child who grows up on a farm is really lucky in so many ways. Your farm is just lovely and well taken care of. I am officially a little envious🤗🌄
My oldest is deathly allergic to dairy, and store bought cream soups are full of it. So I’ve been looking for a delicious alternative and I think this is it! He’s wanted me to make some chicken recipes, but without the cream soup, I didn’t have a non expensive alternative. These look fantastic and I can’t wait to try it. Thank you so much!
If dairy is an allergy, canned coconut milk is a good milk replacement.
I think she used dairy in this version but you could probably substitute unsweetened almond milk or coconut milk.
Creamed cauliflower will sub for dairy milk to thicken... or xanthan gum... Will also make it keto friendly ☺
@@noeldeal8087, I agree!
Thanks for sharing. Been doing this for long time, but not everyone knows it’s that easy. Much healthier and cheaper.
So easy and I can control the sodium! Thanks, this will be my go to now that Campbell's has gotten so very expensive and I didn't like their low sodium cream of soups at all!
I'm with you there. Why do they add so much sodium? By the time you've added other ingredients, the whole casserole/crockpot recipe is way too salty. It is a pain to have to read every label for soup, broth etc. Happy to find this video.
Hi! Please consider watching videos by Dr. David Brownstein about salt - proper salt with necessary minerals like Redmon Real, Celtic Gray, and Himalayan Pink salt. Salt is crucial for good health and I learned so much in his videos on salt and iodine. He says 97% of Americans are deficient in iodine and its needed for every cell in our bodies and deficiency causes sooooo many health issues, especially with hormones but lots of others too. All the best!
This has been a very interesting case! I was SO EXCITED to stumble upon the part 2 after watching the first part yesterday!!! Can't wait for the next one!
I watched this 2 months ago. Never buy cream of ANYTHING soups again.
Thank you so much for this recipe❤
I just told the hubz about y’all’s channel!!! We love doing uncomplicated mostly natural stuff!!!
Thank You for sharing, I’m so glad I found you today
I really like the way you add the onion...why have I never figured that out. This will really speed up my process. I use cream of soups for cooking for a while so I've also been looking for cream of recipes for the reasons you mentioned. Really appreciate your video.
I absolutely love your videos. They're so down to earth and I really enjoy the fact that you can hear and see your family and real daily life going on. Thanks so much for sharing!👍❤️
Use the last two inches of your celery and plant it butt-down in a medium pot, it will keep on giving with a little care I promise you! Works with onions too but for scapes 🌼 thanks for this recipe!
I think it's awesome that you grow, forge for mushrooms & make things from scratch. Thanks for sharing.
Hi there! I just found your channel. I love the recipe for cream soups. You are right about it being all natural and no added suspicious stuff. Your voice is very calming. ❤
This is great. I love adding a can of cream of chicken soup to my homemade chicken soup, but after reading the ingredients it's not very desirable. I didn't realize that making "cream of starter" was so simple. Thank you.
I never knew it was so easy. Every time I watch you I learn so much. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing this recipe. It looks so good. I usually shy away from recipes that call for canned cream of soups. Not anymore.
Busy times for sure. This is a lovely FRESH version of "Cream of ..." I've made all-powder dry recipes, never even considered this approach. DOH! Thanks so much for sharing this and have a wonderful weekend! 😊
I’ve been making cream soups for many years also. It’s so easy. Glad you are bringing this to people’s attention.
Thank you for teaching me how easy it is to make the real thing! You are a blessing!
Thank you for taking the time to show how to make Cream Of Soups. I’ve tried several times and it never turned out but now that I watched this I realized I added to much liquid to mine. I do make my own gravy that way but never thought it could make cream soup by adding different ingredients. I’ve had to change cows cream to goats cream and I can certainly use fat instead of vegan “butter” and I can use one of my other flours in place of the regular flour. I realized that nothing can replace the flavour of the original cow’s cream. 😊 That casserole looks so delicious.
Hi! Ruth, I am so glad I found you. It was by accident while scrolling through You Tube but am so glad I did! You are such a joy to watch and so informative, step by step. Thank you! ❤
Oh I have started to make my own, I love your recipe better!! Thank you for all you are doing. Teaching these things was not part of my upbringing, so I'm so incredibly grateful for you teaching it to all of us.
It's so wonderful seeing helpful recipes like this! Basic cans of soup are now sooo high..and have so many bad ingredients.this is so easy to make!
I just found your channel about a week ago. Have been watching your videos. I love your channel. You are the best homestead channel I have found. I love your channel. Thanks for all that you do. ❤
Thank you!!!!
Over the last two years, I have had many "firsts"ie garden, learned to can etc. I have just added another "first". I made home made cream of broccoli soup. I couldn't believe how good it was! Now my asparagus is coming up..that will be my next cream of soup.
This information is worth it’s weight in gold. No more canned chemicals for our household, thank you.😊
I have been watching your video's for a few days. I truly enjoy all of them. You are so amazing. And I have a 6 year old that has autism and loves to watch with me. So thank you so much for sharing your life and your wonderful family. I'm going to make your cream soup tomorrow. God bless you and your family.
Just keep a can or jar of dried heavy cream in your pantry. It can be used for anything. Buying heavy or light cream can be costly. Also you can use corn starch instead of flour. Works the same. It’s like making roué
for chipped beef or white gravy. I use a lot of butter it always makes things taste great. ❤️👍🏻🖖🏻💪🏻🙋🏼♀️
Trader Joe's has a liquid heavy cream in a box that looks like a juice box and it doesn't need refrigerated till after you open it.
Really enjoyed learning how to make cream of soups, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
I've added this to my recipe file, and will be using it over and over again. Thanks!!
I love your simplicity. Love the recipe.
This is Mrs Pete. I can’t believe how easy that is to make. I’m going homemade for sure.
I’ve been watching lots of your videos. Iso appreciate your godly work ethic and wisdom. Your family is blessed having you as a Mom. Learning lots from you! ❤️🙏 Val C
Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much, you are a true blessing! I have several family members with dietary restrictions, so making our favorite Thanksgiving dishes can be challenging. I've been trying to find organic versions of many of these prepared "ingredients", and this year my usual replacements are missing from store shelves. Now I'm armed with a recipe to make my own!! I just need to find one for evaporated milk and I'm good to go for Thanksgiving and Christmas. 😊
These canned soups are too expensive for me, thank you so much for your video. Also, I almost always end up tossing half and half, heavy cream and celery, now I can make and freeze my own cream soups. I think they add corn starch or something similar, flour is okay with me. These small changes are simple ways to save the planet. I am a new subscriber
Thank you for sharing. I would love to see you make Cheddar Cream of Broccoli. Looks delicious!! 💕💕
I love making my own cream of ..... soup! Just found your channel and subscribed! Can't wait to binge watch your videos!
Made this last night and it turned out amazing! So much better than store bought. Thanks so much for the recipe!!!!
You’re a genius. Thank you for sharing these simple recipes!! ❤️
I have rendered Lard that's been put into canning jars. It's so mild in flavor. I use it in place of anything that calls for butter or seed oils. We've noticed a n increase in energy and well-being after eating our home rendered Lard. We also use cold processed coconut oil (from the Philippines). It's so good in biscuits! I will make the effort to start making our own cream soup recipes. Thx so much for the share today!
May I ask where you get your coconut oil .thankyou .
Love this, hubby is allergic to onions and garlic so I have to make everything from scratch. Will be saving and using this recipe 💕
My hubby is also allergic to onions & celery. Finally found another person w like allergy!
I am also allergic to the onion, garlic, and pepper corns too. The golden cream of soup has another allergen, tomatoes. I am so happy to find others making the cream of soups. I had made a batch of cream of mushroom soup about 40 years ago. People thought I was crazy and said that they didn't think it could be done. I couldn't remember what I did when I made it back then. It was the best soup ever.
Love this and love your style. Thank you!
Thanks for letting us in onhow easy this is. I'll use it today.
Thank you very much. I am German but like to cook American recipes from time to time. I have not found any "cream of.." soups here but cream of mushrooms. So thank you for this recipe.
Basis ist Mehlschwitze, suche mal Bechamelsauce. Vieles auf Chefkoch zu finden.
Thank you for this, I have to avoid gluten and it’s in everything, now I can make my own cream of ---- soup using gluten free (cup 4 cup) flour.
I love your method of cutting the onion in the soup it's amazing!
Ruthann, you are my absolute favorite person on social media. Your genuine loveliness shines in everything you do. Keep up the inspirations!!❤
