Mrs Crocombe is making a light soup using rhubarb from the kitchen garden at Audley End House.
INGREDIENTS
6 stalks of rhubarb
1 litre veal or beef stock
1 small onion
2 thin slices of bread, plus extra for croutons
Salt and pepper
METHOD
Take half a dozen sticks of fine young rhubarb, peel them, and cut them into short lengths.
Throw the rhubarb into a quart of good veal or beef stock and add a moderate sized onion, two thin slices of bread, and a little salt and pepper.
Let the liquor boil, remove the scum as it rises, and simmer the soup until the fruit is quite tender - around 30 minutes.
Strain it, and serve with toasted sippets.

"sometimes associated with the poor"
* looks at me *
*Oh dear lord she knows, SHE KNOWS.*
I was gonna like this, but I can't be like 666
AHAHAHAHA
bwahahahahaha.....
Harinson Pixelutor I never knew onions were associated with the poor, lol! Poor peasants, đđđđđđđ

Mrs Crocombe has that look that makes you feel she can roast you in a second and spill the tea without batting an eye.
She would roast you and serve you with a garnish of parsley. She wouldn't spill the tea though, it would probably make lord and lady Brabrook very upset. It's also not very dignified.
She would roast you golden brown and serve you with tea and a light soup.
Shell turn you to meat stock
@@emmajackson2488 I believe in this case "spill the tea" may be referencing talking about whatever hot gossip is going on rather than actually spilling a drink.
@@GunmetalRaven woosh
"The kitchen maids can do that" is my new catchphrase for every time someone asks me to do something
Victorian England- Where the Servants had Servants.
đ I'm gonna use that at work and see how it goes over.
Gina Sellers please do! We will see.:)
A most elegant and refined way of getting fired, I may say...
@@ginasellers3207 How did it go?
Mom: Get yo ass up and make dinner!!
Me: "The kitchen maids can do that
*Flying chancla hits my face*
MY MOM
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Lmao!! "Flying chancla" đđđ

Mom: YOU ARE THE KITCHEN MAID
"Some people might call them croutons." Just how vulgar can people be?
Croutons are baked or toasted bread that is either overcooked to make a bit hard or has been left to air a bit and hardens by exposure to the air.
Helps to give texture, or a bite, to soups or salads where there wouldn't be one. Also adds fiber to the dish
Even worse than vulgar...FRENCH.
@@jonathanyik3297 ok but you said vulgar twice, why is that?
@@jonathanyik3297 Thanks, I'm french...... XD
Mrs Crocombe does give excellent shade.
She stared at all of us when she said âthere associated with the poorâ
She does seem a tad bit judgemental, doesn't she? I actually like that about her. Kind of reminds me of my mother. đ
@@ginasellers3207
She has a _School Ma'am_ quality that would never have tolerated a misspelling of such a word as "they're". As in "they're associated with the poor". Though I daresay, a _well-to-do_ Victorian mother would've chastised the governess for such slips in her teaching.
She knows something...
She knows. Mrs. Crocombe knows all
THEY'RE
For People who are curious about the comments :-
"Associated with the poor" - 2:06

Thank me later
Not the hero we needed, but the hero we deserved.

Thx
Typical Victorian... "some people", it's French... just like beef is French... poultry... essentially... before the Plantagenet era the brits didn't know how to eat.
You are doing the Lord's work
âThe kitchen maids can do thatâ GURL YOU SHADY đđ
i wonder if it ever occurred to Ms. Crockum that she, in fact, is the main kitchen maid?
@@artgremlynn1239 how dare you peasant! She is the cook I tell you!
@@aesinam of course my mistake
I LOVE IT WHEN SHE DOES THAT
Mrs Crocombe is a servant herself, but she also has servants working under her too. The cook is of a more upper level than the kitchen maids and remember most cooks were male then, Mrs Crocombe was a special case, a woman who climbed her way to the level of cook.
She is a mid range servant, not the lowest not the highest but one of the highest yes. She sits at a different, higher level, servants table than the others too.
Why were onions associated with the poor anyhow? Onions make flavor! Shallot too.
âThe kitchen maids can do thatâ yesss assert that dominance queen
Hessel Bouma lmfao
I was taken aback with that ATTITUDE lol đ
YAAAAS, MRS. C.
She's so SASSSYY
Let's make Mrs Crocombe a gay icon!
Saying "associated with the poor" while staring at us..
*_Ladies and Gentlemen, we just got roasted in a victorian way._*
Andromeda Frost she also said that the maids can skim off the scum đ
đ Hats off to you lady!
Iâve just been scathed
Lol!
I LIVE for all the shade she throws at everyone đđ
đđđđđđđ
I feel like all she said was directly related to me đ
đđđđđđđđ
She does throw a lot of shade, also if you're into Mrs Crocombe's shade watch the Roly Poly Pudding video.
@@goawayleavemealone2880 She stares into your soul at that one! "Dead Man's Leg" indeed!!! LOL
Iâve always hated onions which drives my family crazy, I guess theyâre just too poor to understand me.
Same. Besides potatoes, and I don't eat other cooked vegetables, especially onion. It makes me wanna throw up, and the taste is horrible. And my family is always like 'You need to eat onion and other vegetables, you can't live without them' . I eat, but not cooked.
You made me laugh like crazy :))
So, so good your comment.
Extremely funny.
Zavulan Alexandra dude try cooking them in different ways there is infinite possibilities dont just try 4 or 5 ways of cooking and then discard that vegetable
Zavulan Alexandra same, but I mostly dislike BOILED vegetables. They are disgusting to me.
Loooooolll
From now on, when people ask why I hate onions, I'll say I don't eat food of the poor.
Lembach but onions are super expensive now, so...
You can also say that about lobsters too
As will I, lololololol
Its *peasant* food. I daren't touch it!
Caviar was a food for the poor too at one point.
âseasoningâ
*shows salt*
ashjya - I know, right! Hahaha! Where's the herbs and spices?!?
But, I'm an American, so I assumed maybe the definition is different in the Queen's English. Hmm?
Arp477 Herbs and spices are already in the beef stock :)
stan LOONA seasoning usually means salt and pepper
+Karl Mars - it can, but seasoning is any spice or herb added for flavor.
Salory 2 I know that. I was reacting to the other comments where they seem to correct her saying âseasonâ but only showing salt. Chefs usually refer to salt and pepper when they say season, but of course the other spices are also seasoning. But salt and pepper foremost.
Me: yum I love onions!
Her: *looks me in the eyes* Onions are associated with the poor.
Me: ew onions.
đ
đđ
Oysters are also associated with the poor . as Dickens wrote " oysters and poverty always seemed to go hand in hand " that's because you didn't need to cook them in order to consume them . most poor people lived cheek by Jowl in crumbling tenements that had no kitchens much less stoves . most of their cooking ( when they could actually afford something TOO cook was done in the ovens of the neighborhood baker )
Ah, I'm *so* poor. I love onions indeed!
Me: Iâm a broke college student maâam
I love how she's says "Some people might call them croutons" and you KNOW her opinion of the French đ
"A lighter soup is more suitable for ladies, as the presence of actual flavor might cause them to faint or get wild ideas about equality and social issues."
đ€Łđđ€Łđ€Ł
ROTFLMAO!
All the ladies were too weak too think with that kind of food now I get it đ€
Daaang
Catch me draped in a tree sipping dark soup and reading Charlotte Elizabeth
This is what cooking channels would look like if there was youtube in Victorian times
Tomato Queen I think thats the whole point of it hahaha
TV would have been enough. oh boy, please gimme a Tardis and some ideas how I can throw a TV into every victorian home so I can show them the show
I think the CZcams of the time was having to repeat it again and again, no wonder she is shady.
RIGHT XD
I'm pretty sure they didn't do it because Mrs. Crocombe's sass would have made too many highborn peeps faint....
"Associated with the poor"
Lobster was once associated with the poor and look at you now.
@Who Are You? - In early New England, lobsters used to be food for prisoners.
Salmon as well! If only
If. You. Could. See me now, that little gang of mine... Eating fancy food and drinking fancy wine....

"Some people might call them croutons."
Me: Mind. BLOWN.
Not after 'Brexit' they won't.
SOME people...but not our kind dear.
These videos are so soothing and satisfying. Sort of like ASMR without any forced stimulus.
YES. That's a really good way of describing it. ASMR is actually very overstimulating for me, but I'm constantly searching for other relaxing content. This fits the bill :)
Yes! I love her calm, but firm voice and the absence of music or just the light percussion in the back. :D
I like (some) ASMR vids AND Mrs. Crocombe! Watching her vids is very soothing.
So true!
I was thinking the same thing đ!
Can you post a video of the dark heavy soup for the gentleman?? I would love to see both recipes
tsk tsk, now a lady never asks questions!
I, too, have a rather intense curiosity. Want to be sure to have a proper masculine soup to prepare when I'm feeling decidedly un-dainty
@@thehopesystem3795gasp! A lady cannot consume such heavy meals! She must keep her waist small and body frame petite!
sup_ monica Not anymore, đđđđđđđđđđđđđđđđ
It'd just be a bottle of HP sauce.
âSome people may call them croutonsâ
You mean âthe poorâ??
No I think she meant the French
Art V. Yeah sure đ€·ââïžđ
Trish B 0805 Yes, us poor lowly peasants, đđđđđđđ
yes, the ones who aren't as wholesome
lol i don't know but when she said it, i was like ugh why can't people just call it the proper name tinquints or triquets or whatever. i shall never call them croutons again. trisquints for life!
I feel like a servant apprentice and nice Mrs Crocombe is teaching me the ways of the kitchen
Same...
Mr. bing same!
I love Mrs. Crocombe glad to see her back! I wish they would give her a longer show 4 minutes just isn't enough
No, it isn't. I'd love to see a longer live stream or a longer dinner preparation (perhaps for a ball?).
I thought of that after I made my comment. A ball would be really good or a fancy holiday dinner.
bremda miller Well, great minds think alike?
That is a great idea.
And the award for most polite youtube conversation goes to đ„
Dynasty Love you shhhhh don't jinx it
Watching this lady makes me feel like I'm a poor maid who is learning how to cook in a royal house and when I'm about to serve the prince he looks at me and it's love at first glance so we live a wild affair
Having a wild affair with the prince????? Oh well..."The kitchen maids can do that" i guess XD.
Oh my god. That serving bowl is GORGEOUS. đ±
It looks similar to one my grandmother has. Although hers is definitely not that big. That looks like it could serve 2 dozen people.
But that blue and white color pattern immediately reminded me of it! Now I want her beef stew :(
I think Tasha Tudor had dishes like that
I definetely need to bring it from the old house! Actually from just looking at the decoration and sniffing you can lower the blood pressure without a medicine...
Went to a kitchen wares shop to buy a pretty tureen. $300 đ±đą nope. Iâll stick to normal bowls haha đ
This one is still maden by one factory in the cze.
"that is associated with the poor"
WELL EXXXCCUUSSEEEE ME.
PRINCESS
Lmfao i felt thatđđŻ
I'm not poor, I'm broke. And onions have health benefits.
đđ
This channel is definitely worth more subs for the amount of effort put it, hard to believe that people like jake Paul and prank channels have a larger following than this đ§đ§
"The kitchen maids can do that" The roast queen right here đ
I have a shocking confession to make. I'm a lady but I do enjoy the odd darker soup. Oh I'm so ashamed! What will my poor Mama think?
Edit: because of my confession, no one will marry me. I'm currently sobbing into my handkerchief.
Your mama? Dear, I'd be more concerned about how you will get a husband!
You guys..đđđ
FOR SHAME how will you ever find yourself a good husband??
(ala Little Britain) I'm a lady! I enjoy a lighter soup, please. No dark soups for me, for as you can clearly see, I'm a lady!
*points and shouts* Witch!!!
My grandmother was a Victorian woman - I lived with her growing up, and she taught me how to cook and bake; these videos remind me of her teaching me! And yes, onions are for the poor (so I hardly ever ate any growing up)! I miss my gramma...
SHE'S BACK! My favourite thing on youtube right now, no contest!!
Food Network could give her a spot... no doubt it would be a huge hit!!!
And mine, I love Historic cooking, have your tried watching Townsend's, he deals in American 18th century cooking.
3:33
Mrs. Crocombe: "Sippets are delicately cut little bits of bread"
Spatuler: *just vibin*
Her shades: refined
My soul: upset
Hotel: Trivago
I thoroughly enjoy watching these episodes with Mrs. Crocombe! I've been going back through older videos to make sure I haven't missed any of hers.
Pamela Pittenger me too Ahah
Same!!
Most heard line in this series/show:
"The kitchen maids can do that."
-Avis Crocombe
I love to see Avis 'The Braybrookes Will Eat Whatever The Hell I Give Them' Crocombe sharing her wisdom with us common folk
I made this!
I followed the instructions as best I could, even adding the tomato and bacon to the stock and straining that prior to adding the rhubarb and onion. I added a bit of thyme to the soup, which I think helped.
I have never had rhubarb before I made the soup, but I noticed a slight tang to the soup which was interesting. I made it for an event at work, and this rhubarb soup was awarded 'Most Unique'!
I would likely make this soup again!
Great to hear! :D
Rhubarb is generally pretty sour, so the tang was spot on. My mother used to make strawberry rhubarb pie every now and then - a very sweet-tart treat!
â@@s.shepherd5653strawberry rhubarb pie is the best and a specialty of both my grandmothers since they both raised rhubarb and strawberries.
" _Some_ people may call it a crouton"
*passive-aggressiveness intensifies* đđ
Why is she my favorite human
It's understandable.
Same heređ
Because you know she's got everything under control, and you're going to get an edible meal.
"A lighter soup is more suitable for the ladies AND FOR THE GENTLEMAN A DARKER HEAVIER SOUP."
Was looking for a comment about this
Aemma Arryn me too
"Some people call them croutons."
Me: *sees reflection in screen* "I'm a smol crouton."
I'm one of those folks who cannot abide rhubarb! Onions I love, but then I AM one of the poor.
Same for me :) I wonder if it works better as soup though. I do like a citrus flavour to my soups, so I'm thinking of trying it out.
I tried rhubarb pie thinking it was sweet. Imagine my horror after the first bite.
I hate rhubarb :(
sourcheesepringles it's supposed to be sweet, sounds like somebody forgot the sugar!
I don't like rhubarb pie and crumble, I love rhubarb jam. It depends on what you do with the rhubarb, really.
In case you didn't know, Mrs. Crocombe is played by Kathy Hipperson!
No body asked
@@problematicprincess6270 Nobody asked you to make a rude sassy reply, either, but here we are.
Here we go...
Y'all need to shut up. I'm sure somebody here asked, and it's very rude to say that nobody has.
Wow, I thought she was the real Mrs Crocombre...
"There is always a choice of two soups for dinner.... One is edible the other is rubarb."
âAs this is a light soup, Iâll need to remove the [fibre and vitamins]â
You can thank the bloody French for that one mate . along with let them eat cake , what .
Well the soup already absorbs it so yeah, gentle man its delicious and a tab bit less nutrition less haHaha
I doubt there was any vitamins left after boiling it for an hour
@@howardwayne3974
Funny enough Marie Antoinette married into French Royalty. She was Austrian.
@@ashlynnheller8400 And she never said "Let them eat cake." Or brioche for that matter.
I TOTALLY agree with Bremda. Mrs. C needs her own series to go through and share ALL of her recipes as they are written in her âcookbookâ
I would so watch her on the food network channel probably more then the other cooking shows really mostly because she make me feel welcomed into her kitchen and that Iâm actually there and I forget that Iâm at home
"today i'm making rhubarb soup, because lunch wasn't disgusting enough"
"Today I'm making Rhubarb soup, because lunch wasn't quite disgusting enough."
Lol best parody ever
Having just been to Audley End House I recognize the kitchen and things. Nice!
I agree with everyone else. We need more Mrs Crocombe! We also need her recipe book!
Hopefully available in the Gift Shop.
mrs. crocombe: "seasoning"
*close up of....salt*
Lol I noticed that too
đ
@@FreedomWriter3 white people amirite
@@somethinggood9267 Lol more like 'english people'. The french at least are more creative.
i thought the same thing lol. was happy to hear she at least mentioned pepper over at the stove.
@2:38 this is my new motto
Mrs Crocombe is like a mom who knows you dislike some food but still secretly adds them
I love this lady !
Lord Braybrooke once requested this soup just because his stomach was hurting and he wanted something lighter to eat. He spent the next month getting the side eye from Lady Braybrooke and being the subject of gossip by the kitchen maids involving the dashing new groundskeeper they'd just hired.
I like how Mrs. Crocombe can seem at the same time wholesome/maternal, and at the same time somewhat stern and severe.
Mrs Crocombe has a lovely complexion. I love this channel so much. The music is so charming
I watch these before exams or when Iâm stressed. Helps me chill out big time.đ
Mrs.Crocombe always makes me smile!!! I'm an American (from the Midwest) who grew up eating my dear Gramma's rhubarb pie & rhubarb jam... The "good ole days"... *: )*
mmmmmm i had that once it was good. rhubarb sounds like it would be a bitter root, but it way sweet.
Same here. Iâm growing some in the garden now, might as well keep a good thing alive, right?
Good you been eating chinese originated food since a kid
@@hungli3086 and?
poppykok5 ...LOVE rhubarb pie n jelly!!! (From Iowa)...
"For dinner, I'm making rhubarb soup, because lunch wasn't quite disgusting enough"

YESSS MRS. CROCOMBE IS BACK đđč
Ms. Crocombe, your videos are the purest and warmest on CZcams. No hate, no politics or bad things on the World these days
âAssociated with the poorâ
- looks on screen
I wish i could throw shade by just saying "croutons"
I must admit, as a hobby food photographer, I developped a serious envy for all the copper pots and pans in the background! ^^
that perfect ending at 4:11 with the drop of water and the music
Mrs Crocrombe looks like the rich aunt who only comes to the family reunions for the tea
I made this recipe exactly using rhubarb from my garden, along with the little sippits. Itâs amazingly good. Even though I normally wouldnât think rhubarb would be nice in soup. But obviously that is just my inner American talking. Betty Crocker ainât got nothinâ on Mrs. Crocombe.
This is my favorite series of...anything. I've taken an obsession with Victorian England recently, and while browsing videos about fashion, I found The Victorian Way. And...wow. It's incredible, what you've found and done. Please continue this series, I'll watch it all! I've saved all these recipes for days I'm feeling very Victorian.
Wow I never even heard of rhubarb soup
The SHADE of it all, tho------this woman is my spirit animal.
When she said seasoning, I immediately thought of MSG.
well i thought of gordon ramsay hah
I noticed in the last video you guys sent Townsendâs a box with tea and a fruit cake. Is it possible you guys can start selling those? Gift boxes with tea and a small cake?
I second this wonderous idea.
Oh wow
She's the reason I subscribed
"associated with the poor"
If they want to miss out on onion-y goodness, then more for us :)
âSome people call them croutons......âđ€Ł I love this lady.
Holly Sue Yes, she is referring to us, the lowly peasants, đđđđđđđđ
This is just one of my favorite channel s on CZcams and this series is absolutely stunning and so well put together. Mrs Crocombe should definitely get her own youtube channel with longer videos
Thank you for more Mrs. Crocombe! Would love to see what a puree or gentleman's soup would look like. Also, what other ingredients were more associated with the poor?
I'll be poor then, because I can't live without potatoes lol
Garlic, onions of any sort-even scallions, potatoes, turnips, parsnips, any of the 'nips family.
No wonder the English have a reputation for bland food lol (I say that as someone that's half-English)
Science Fiction Double Feature So anything like a root then? Maybe because they grew in the ground and it was seen as too dirty for the hoitytoities
Yes pleasee
I'm so glad I stumbled upon Mrs. Crocombe's videos. I find her to be absolutely delightful.
Last time I saw soup served on a tureen was at my grandmother's house almost 40 years ago. Seeing the one in this video unlocked a long forgotten childhood memory.
How I have missed Mrs. Crocombe! Glad she is back.
I like how they've added an extra camera angle when she was adding the ingredients; it added to the very personal experience that is given by these videos.
Nobody:
Victorians: âlets unessessarily gender soup!â
0:28
Mrs. Crocombe: AND FOR THE GENTLEMEN
Is she trying to summon Edgar and Mr Vert all the way from the apple orchard to her kitchen??
It's always funny to see the sweet-savoury combinations they used to make, like the cucumber ice cream, it sounds very strange nowadays. But I'd try this soup!
I can't begin to tell you how excited I am to have discovered this channel! I can't wait to see what all is in store!
âThe kitchen maids can do thatâ - you earned my Subscription with that line alone. .Very interesting and excellently put together. A lot of work and effort truly well worth it, too.
This one of my favorite channels and I will waste an entire day away watching these videos!! I love this channel so much
It's good to see another video from this series.
As a child, I would pick rhubarb from the patch garden in the yard, cover them in sugary sugar and eat until my heart's delight!
I just wanna say as a girl I favorite darker soups with like huge bits of beef and a whole corn
The funniest thing I ever saw was a few years back when we were invited to a dinner in the home of a very wealthy family. The antique "soup tureens" were actually chamber pots - very fancy ones, but chamber pots none the less. I realize that they probably hadn't been used in decades and had been very thoroughly washed, but I just couldn't... I passed on the soup.
Did you ever tell anyone?đ
@@keyofallworlds7549 Yup, and the looks on their faces were priceless.
This is the 10th video from this victoria way. I'm now addicted.
Came over from Townsends. Glad I found you guys.
If you haven't seen the BBC farm series you should check it out its like this but more detailed
bremda miller Thanks for the recommendation!
I thought this was a new Townsend video when I saw the thumb :D
Same here!
Yay someone else from Townsends!
I actually started watching this videos because I love the accent and now I watch them because I really enjoy these kind of recipes!
And so spring arrived to us at last in Mrs. Crocombes kitchen!
