To make it even more budget friendly, eat broccoli as a side dish on the one day, saving the stems. Next day, make this soup using only the stems (plus one or two florets for garnish).
Great job showing how easy it is to make stuff like this at home from scratch. I think a big problem is failing to plan for meals. A lot of people don't think about dinner until they are hungry, and then it's to late to start cooking. You have to know when you plan to eat, and start cooking based on that.
Be cautious about using cruciferous scraps when making stock - they can give your stock an off flavor due to the sulfur compounds - if you're using the stock to make a dish with broccoli/cabbage/cauliflower, then it's not such an issue - otherwise it can overpower you dish
I'm an older, partially disabled person. I get a box of food each month from the local pantry/soup kitchen and often they give me a lot of fresh veggies and fruits, which is nice but I don't eat a lot on any given day. So I am always looking for ways to make use of the fresh food as quickly as possible. So, today I will make this broccoli soup and Frankie's very yummy looking recipe for a SAVORY apple tart. My box also included a tube of dough for crescent rolls, so I will try using that dough instead of puff pastry and see what happens. My next challenge will be doing something with a bag of small potatoes. I have a teeny tiny freezer in a smaller-sized fridge, so I can't cook a lot of foods in advance and freeze it. And unfortunately, these days, I don't feel comfortable inviting people over for a meal because of the virus, or otherwise I'd share the wealth.
Some fresh dill added at the end, or just a bit of fresh rosemary before blending, would really kick up the flavor. If you've got bacon, cook a couple of strips and crumble it in at the end. Lots of possibilities! Frankie's videos always inspire me to cook more often for myself. When you live alone, it's not easy to get excited about cooking a meal but Frankie's recipes usually are pretty simple and quick. (And good for my budget.)
Broccoli-Cheddar was my favorite soup for decades, but now I add steamed cauliflower to it, too, and HOOBOY, does that take it over the top for deliciousness!!
1 packet of dried chili flakes in the pot would make that soup perfect. You could also use a small cooked potato or chop up a small potato and cook it in, eliminating the flour.
I’m having some trouble telling the new video thumbnails apart-I’ve passed this one by in my feed for days thinking “I’ve watched that already. I miss the stills of Frankie mugging for the 🎥…
Basically, you save all your veggie scraps (I save mine in the freezer) until you have enough to essentially fill a pot. Then you cover with water and you can add additional veggies and herbs to it to adjust the flavor. Bring to a boil, lower to a simmer, strain/discard the scraps, and salt to taste. Now you have homemade stock made out of what would have been trash. I also do something similar with the bones leftover from turkey or chicken. Basically, anything goes

I am cooking a rustic roast chicken dinner tomorrow/today (2 am =p) I'll be making stock from the bones ect and am SO making this soup. mouth is watering WHY did I wait until this late to watch you. 😉
Also i found the immersion blender at biglots for $10 !!

I just watched that dude boil an entire chicken in butter this week. Glad i understood this reference .

Frankie talking with his hands always makes my day

I've missed Frankie so much!!!

Another way to use up cruciferous stems and leaves is to make a pesto (from An Everlasting Meal, by Tamar Adler).
@@sweetsops.. What a great idea!
@@sweetsops.. Just bought the book, thanks for the tip!
@@HTNPSullivan you're welcome :D

I feel like you had the world's biggest onion and the world's smallest carrot today!
His “drop the stockkkkkkk” bit never fails to make me laugh 😂

This series is so helpful thank you!
I love your videos! Teaching us good food doesn't have to be difficult! 👌
I'm definitely trying this recipe. Broccoli soup is one of my favorite!

I love the packet drawer
Oh great - thanks Frankie..!
definitely making this soup!
Thanks🥦

This is awesome 👊🏽 I'm trying this out myself

Looks delicious!! Great video!
It’s 102 degrees here. The idea of eating hot soup right now is not pleasant. I will save this for fall.
One of my favourites! I will try it with croutons next time!
Any cool summer recipes?
Need more details on the stock part…do you make it as soon as you peel the onion, etc.? Details! 😊. Thanks!

@@msjkramey thank you! Appreciate the response!
Yummy, easy & satisfying....
I forgot this show existed for so longboard and with me going to university next semester I need this 😅
I’ll be trying this
My notifications are on, but I'm not being notified of new video postings. I just checked because I'm watching Frankie on television.
Question: is it necessary to grate the cheese? Could I just put the entire block in the pot and it'll met away just the same?
Any good ideas on some cold soup?
Would you do a potato soup?
You are the best
the zach braff of cooking is back at it again!! hahaha my man
Frankie!! what if you can’t have a lot of salt due to liver issues? Do I substitute and walk with?
I don’t have that hand blender :( can I use my Ninja Bullet?

Love it
Yumm
Woot woot.
I can’t imagine how cheap your grocery bill is. This is gold
He makes fancier things for himself. 😄
i have a packet drawer now
looks nothing like yours tho 🤣💯
No celery?
You could have said budget bucket and you missed it!!
When I tried to use my veggie scraps to make stock, the stock tasty... dirty? Like dirt, I mean. Had to throw the whole thing out. :(
Julie, I have found broccoli, brussel sprouts, and spinach emit some funk so I omit them now. Cabbage is good, though.
newest episode on snap is good but dont go so fast jesus
just don't season EVERYTIME with salt
Please do meals using less energy and the price of cooking stuff is going crazy
Feeling stupid 😐 Is the recipe with the precise amount anywhere?
looks good Frankie …now make it vegan. and oil free
