I don't eat soup frequently but when I do I say screw the ingredients being healthy! I just want some damned good soup! 😀 My mother's chicken and dumpling soup was Incredible! She would boil a whole chicken till it fell off the bone add the veggies[celery, onions, carrots and maybe a few others from time to time] then season it with savory herbs and top it with baking soda biscuits[dumplings]! You could taste the Love in that soup that only a mother could add! 😋
I make mine the very same.. It has been pretty much an unchanged “Southern” recipe in our family for generations. … but since the dumplings seem to be the favorite thing in it, I always double my biscuit dough /dumpling recipe! My mother used to also make a “faster” version where she used canned regular biscuits and cut them into 4ths.. it has a flavor that I adore too, growing up with it!
@@kimberlypatton205 It's surprising to me that you called it "Southern". My mother is 1/2 English and 1/2 Bohemian. She was raised as the oldest of 17 kids in mid Minnesota. Grandma[100% English] was always in the kitchen it seemed while Grandpa[100% Bohemian] was in the living room in the recliner with at least 1 grandchild on his lap! The food though!...The Food! Gatherings were like small towns! 30-60+ were the norm. I loved helping out in the kitchen.. especially when I was hungry and could already smell the food! 😇 lol!
Just a word about how we dealt with salt in our house when we got married in 1979.. and with even more awareness when we had our son in 1980.. As a new wife I had already been a fairly accomplished cook by then, and I became aware of how much I tended to heavily salt things and was sort of addicted to having so much on my food.I started by telling my husband that I wasn’t going to salt my cooking any more and for those who ate my cooking would have to use salt to their own tastes. I have continued this policy now into my 63rd year and it had worked out. I used so much less salt myself and became more sensitive to products overloaded with it. I warned guests and family that that’s what I did ahead of time, and they always seemed to understand and mostly appreciate it.
I will admit to using tinned cream of whatever soup on the odd occasion for certain casseroles. As for proper soup, I do scratch (except I do resort to boxed stock).
Honestly there was a time that I just didn't like soup at all until I started making it myself and even the more labor intensive soups aren't really that hard to make. Even if you're a beginner (or sometimes just don't feel like cutting vegetable) you can make semi homemade by buying a frozen mirepoix, pre peeled garlic, box stock, bouillon base and if your grocery store does it cooked protein and I guarantee your soup will be better than anything you get out of a can and you can have it done in 15 minutes if you are using a precooked protein.
I would also say make a huge batch and freeze it in those restaurant style takeout containers at the beginning of the fall because most soup freezes very well that way on that cold fall/winter day when you want chicken or tomato soup you can just pull one out, heat it up and still get the comfort & convenience.
I love making a nice loaded potato soup at least once in the bitter cold winter months! I like Progresso Italian Wedding soup and New England clam chowder...since the skyrocketing prices of everything lately, I haven't had it in a minute. Well Yes! brand is pretty good too, but like I said...things are pretty pricey! Pacific red pepper tomato is amazing too. Unfortunately I'll never give up Campbell's.
I have wonderful taste buds. I am not going to lessen my meal with no favor. I believe that it is alright to get the best dish once in a while. Remember life is so very short..enjoy to the fullest. Exercise to get rid of the fat after heavy meals🤗👍
I love the fact that the video is all about; don't eat this don't eat that... Then the target ad features Lays chips. Which I would think will be the next video of don't eat... Nice
I am 65 yrs old and grew up with all these soups in moderation I am in great heath the key is moderation which you don't mention so your only giving a biased point of view not a complete break down fact
The lisp is annoying, eat potassium rich foods with your sodium foods, will balance out some of that excessive salt. Just take the sodium milligrams minus the potassium milligrams, to get the total net sodium milligrams.
I won't eat soup, growing up some of the very few things my mother could cook was soup and grilled cheese. I won't eat any foods of my childhood because she was that bad of a cook
Well that's if you believe the falsehoods that fat, salt, and cholesterol are bad for you. Only the veggie oils fats are the ones to watch out for. Saturated fat is fine. Sorry, Mashed, you whiffed on this one.
I mean… canned soups are kinda supposed to be high in calories? And taste good? They’re supposed to be your emergency meal or something to take for camping trip. In those situations high calories and fat is appreciated. Also you can always add more water to a canned soup than needed to avoid eating too much calories
