I had no idea that nail polish remover would erase the felt tip markings on the lids!! Another great video!!!

I appreciated the fact that you’re willing to use a product like the bullion‘s that you normally would not use. I think it’s very important to be versatile like this. I see so many preppers talk about GMO‘s and organics and I can tell you from personal experience surviving hurricane Michael and having to live off of whatever we could get for a month that the thought of organics and non-GMO‘s in what I was eating never crossed my mind! I was so grateful for food that had some flavor, I was grateful for any food at all. I love the way you make things fun and tasty for your food storage and I think this is so important it’s equally important to remember for people who are on a budget that just to have some basic healthy food that you can afford and not go into debt for is of great necessity.

Well, now I know what I’m gonna do with all the lentils I have stocked up on. I just kept buying them because they are a good source of protein, but I had no idea what to do with them. Thanks for sharing. Now I’m looking forward to that book.

Such a great lesson!!! I am a soup lover & love to make soups, have been wondering how to incorporate soups in my food storage without having a collection of cans/jars. (not a canner, limited space, learning to dehydrate & vacuum seal) My mind is whirling with ways to adapt this, and other, soup recipes to my preferred preservation methods. Thank you so very much for sharing your important healthy, sustainable expertise. I love, love, love your presentations. I can imagine your collrge classes are most popular!

Sand art with lentils! Go for it, Pam! 😃😂😇

Here is a tip I learned in Girl Scouts before you cook in pans on the fire cover bottom and sides outside of pan with dish soap liquid. This will keep them from turning black

I was thinking about doing the jar soup mixes but i wanted more long term storage. I bought a vacuum sealer (used like new) off amazon for 1/3 of the price. With an oxygen absorber and Mylar bags, the soup mix will last around 25 years. Soup mixes are awesome way to get your daily calories for cheap. Especially since were headed into another recession. It took me a solid week to make 20 years worth of soup mixes that i put in huge totes in my basement. I got everything i needed at Walmart and Cosco.

These make great gifts! So many variations can be imagined - green or yellow split peas; barley; white, brown, or wild rice; spice variations; add a can of tomatoes … Ethnic grocery stores are a great source for pulses and grains as well as spices.

I love this! You’re not compromising flavor which makes for great short term storage!! Thank you!!

Great video, Pam! Thank you! I can't wait for your book!

Love the dry soup recipes. Love to see more.

I like the idea of having everything in one jar and ready to go. I always wash and sort lentils before I cook them. It would have been interesting to see you take the jar of ingredients 1. to the pot, 2. shown us cooking times, and 3. to the bowl ready to eat. Thanks for sharing this one jar idea.

Genius🏆Thank you for showing us how to do some much meal prepping and in so much detail too….I’m addicted to learning all of this from you and your family😊

This is the best soup in a jar video I've seen. Very informative! Thank you

I spent several hours today looking for a book with meals in a jar. So many require freeze dried food which doesn’t work for me. I’m looking forward to the book you are working on. This looks very promising! 😊

What a beautiful display for your canned goods pantry. And a great way to use previously used canning lids. I’m particularly excited to try the dehydrated celery. Imagine celery that looks and tastes like celery!

Oh boy I LOVE your channel! I'll have to search for the grid down cooking you mentioned. I love your approach, (production line,) and the hints like using the canning funnel to direct the flow for a nice even layer. It's easy to see your real-kitchen and prep experience!! Thanks for your efforts!!!!

I love this idea for taking to the lake camping. Thank you so much for all you do.

I can't thank you enough for taking your time to show and share your knowledge and work!! I have started to preserve and store food and feel really confident that it will last because of you!! Thank you so much!!

Great instructional video. I am so glad to know that you can re-use the lids for vacuum sealing! Great to know!

What a great presentation! Not only would these be great for storing, but also great gifts. Thank you for your time. I have never eaten lentils but this recipe makes me want to try them.

Thank you! I love the ability to make homemade "convenience" foods, thanks for the recipes.

I love this idea, and also great to have to share with others. Thanks again for another great video!

What a great idea I'm trying this ASAP not only a recipe but ways to cook it you're the best ❤️

I just love watching your channel. I always smile when I see you and that amazing red hair. You are a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for sharing and I hope you know that you are a blessing! May God bless you and your family!

You never cease to amaze and inspire me. What a brilliant classy gal you are! So glad I found you.

I ❤️ how you packaged everything to keep all separate. Allows person to put lentils in a strainer and rinse well before cooking. 👍🏽 Those golden lentils are beautiful.

I really love this approach to storing away shelf-stable emergency foods - dividing packages of dry foods into individual self-contained recipe kits. This would make dealing with an emergency situation so much easier and less stressful. The dehydrator is sure your friend when you want to include dried vegetables and other ingredients you can't just buy and stock up on. Even if you can, it's a lot cheaper to dehydrate the veggies yourself. I've also been experimenting with commercial sauce/seasoning mixes to make tasty, healthy meal kits with pasta or beans and rice, dishes that can be prepared with just water in very little cooking time.

I am so excited your video popped up on my feed. Exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you. I can hardly wait to check your other videos.

Simple, delicious and very well presented, thank you for your time saving ideas. A really good way to tweak and improve ones prepper pantry, for effortless future use. I love this!

Always mention how long it should last! Thank you Rose. Love watching and learning.

I cannot wait to get your cookbook. Thank you for all your wonderful videos.

Watched this again! I watch them all multiple times. !!

Wonderful idea and demonstration! Thank you for sharing this idea. I have a vacuum seal machine but did not know that I could order a part to vacuum seal lids. Thank you!

Genius, Pam!! I love how you separated out the ingredients by cooking stage/process! 💡💡💡

LOVE these… I’m definitely going to make some. I simply cannot wait for yours and Cindys book.

These jarred soup mixes would make great gifts.

THANK YOU for sharing this wonderful formula! My husband will be so happy. He loves lentils,, and I seemingly never cook them enough for him.:) The great thing is, my kids could easily be taught to cook this.

I love your channel. You only say the necessary information required for me to learn and it's hard for me to learn things with this ADHD. I'm 28 and pregnant with my first and in the usa I'm hearing about food manufacturers being cyber attacked and I'm worried about our food security. I'm glad you make these videos. There's more to food security than just canning. I'm glad I found you. Thank you.

Thanks!!!! ❤️I would love to see more dry mixes for prepping. ❤️

Very talented and kind…… to share with others secrets that make life easy is a BLESSING 🙏👏🥰

Yumm! I made this soup in similar manner, but have not packaged it for dry storage. Now that I am experimenting with the Cobb Grill, I will give this recipe a try, using the wok.

I write on my lids with a permanent marker as well. A little trick I learned instead of nail polish remover, take a dry erase marker and scribble over where you've written with the permanent marker and it wipes right off with a paper towel. Permanent marker gone lid is clean.

I cannot eat lentils. However, I watch with interest, taking notes, on your method for developing your recipes. Thank you for your lessons! I'm never too old to learn something new

Love this! Will be rewatching the dehydrating videos for celery, onions, etc. to do this soup mix! Can't wait for the cookbook to come out!

Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful recipe!! I LOVE meals in a jar!

I love your videos! This one perked my interested, so I decided to go ahead and try it. Just before I put everything together, I made the soup, and you're right......it's delicious. Well worth the effort to assemble. I was really surprised at how much it makes. You inspired me to put together a few curry lentil soup mixes as well. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome knowledge!

I am looking forward to the Cookbook coming out. You and your sister are doing a great service. Thank you.

I live in a hurricane prone area and made these up for just that occasion. Thank you for all of your wonderful information!

What a great idea. Thank you for sharing.😊

Pam, you and Jim do such a great job.

I just love your soup recipes! I haven’t tried the taco soup yet, but it looks & sounds delicious. I’m in SW Florida & night and morning temperatures have been in the mid 50’s, which is cold for me, but it’s excellent soup weather! I had bought 3 different types of Bear Creek dry soup mix-chili, chicken noodle & cheese potato, the later was fantastic & only took 15 minutes to make. I just added some real bacon bits on top of my bowl & it was great! Can’t find that flavor anymore, but can get creamy potato. Guess I can add my own cheese to it. Loved soup with a salad or biscuits! Filling & warms you, too! Thanks for sharing everything!

The way you’ve packages is an awesome idea. Thanks so much for sharing with us.

YOU are a geniussss!!! I love this idea and the demonstration as well! Thank you so much!

That was so inspiring. I'm eager to make these for my family.

I was so taken and excited by this simple tutorial I jumped on Amazon and ordered my dehydrated vegetables and spices; ran to the store and purchased the lentils. 24hours later my Amazon order arrived and I filled my jars! Now I have "instant" food security as I slowly dehydrate my items for future Dry Soup Mixes. So, if anyone out there wishes they could do this (those who do not dehydrate), you absolutely can. Thank you, Rose Red Homestead!

I was NOT expecting you to pack the different 'sections' of the recipe separately in the jar. Such an A-ha moment. Thank you!

Great video as usual...I am definitely going to make up some of these for gifts! Everyone needs food for their shelves!

I love lentil soup waiting for the cookbook

Love this idea! Will definitely be trying it. I need to dehydrate some more veggies now. As others have requested, I would also love to see you prepare it - maybe in one of your off grid videos.

Thank you. A brilliant idea for making soup for later and for emergencies.

young lady just started watching your videos love them. ❤ 😊❤

Yes! This is exactly what I’m looking for Pam. Between my dehydrator and soon to be delivered freeze dryer, I’m super excited to find recipes, and maybe create my own, for long term storage. Your Rainbow Lentil Soup looks awesome and I can’t wait to make it. Grateful for your knowledge and gift of sharing what you know.

Ms. Pam, I LOVE your Rainbow Lentils soup!!! Thank you for telling where you got your yellow lentils (because you knew I would ask)!!!! I need to make some of these soups up for my pantry/food storage!!!! Excellent idea!!! Can hardly wait for Cindi and yourself to finish ya'lls cookbook!!!!

I cannot find my original question about the 250 degrees for botulism, but I saw your very thoughtful answer and wanted to thank you for the extra details. You have reassured me. I trust your research and methodolgy.

What a greatly sustaining and nutritional meal in a jar. I hope to make some soon. Thank you.

Love this. I usually always have a jar of dried soup mix on the pantry shelf, but I will try this one. I friend recently gave me a mango curry lentil soup mix that is fantastic , I usually throw in a jar of canned chicken and coconut milk. I just asked her for the recipe so I hope she will let me have it. Thanks so much, great video

Thanks again Jim and Pam. My pantry is shaping up to become what I would need should we have an emergency. I am an avid canner using both pressure and water bath systems. I also dehydrate anything left over or if I purposely want to make something. Until I started watching you, my pantry was unevenly filled with more jams, jellies, salsa and the like. (I have fruit frees that give me all that I need and more). Now, I have a much more balanced pantry. I’ve been following your videos while tweaking a few recipes that suits my husbands taste buds. I’m also keeping a log which I never did before. I feel so much more organized and prepared. I now rehydrate a tiny portion of anything I dehydrate to see if it is how I intended it to be. So Pam, thank you so very much. You are very needed at this time in history to help educate those who never knew. Others, like me, have had gaps in our own food storage system that needed to be filled in. You are a one of a kind gem. P.S. Making Ghee is still my all time favorite video of yours!

I used to make these for gifts. Great for Teachers and Neighbors you don't know what to gift, Food is always welcome. Great for kids to help with and learn measurementsand Food experience. We made the lids pretty with fabrics cut with picking shears and a tag with instructions tied with ribbon or lace. Thank you for showing your version. 💚 🙏

Some great thoughts!! I'm going to apply these tips to my soup pantry concept. Have a beautiful day! 😊

Have you ever given any thought to putting the instructions on a label on the outside of the jar? This might be a great idea for gift-giving as well.

Love this idea of making jars of dry soup mix. Great idea for quick, prepared meals that are shelf stable and portable. I have been saving "junk jars", like spaghetti sauce jars, salsa jars, etc. I will use those to create and store some soup mix meals. Thanks for sharing this information.

I love this recipe. This is my first time watching you. I can wait to watch more of your videos.

Fantastic,thank you from the South of France 👍

I really do appreciate the fact that you test all your recipes before putting them on your channel. Nothing ticks me off more to start watching something that I am really curious about and the person says, " I've never tried this before so we will both be learning this time." I don't have time to sit and watch someone experiment. When I do get to sit down at the computer, I want tried and true recipes that will work first time. Again, thank you for your channel and info!

This is a really great idea, thank you for sharing it with us! If I could contribute an idea on my part - maybe you could add pearl barley and / or polished (or ground) wheat to the mix? It would then turn into a really strong and filling stew. I saw a similar mixture at a weekly market in Italy. And I have one more question: would you send your cookbook to Europe when it is ready? Greetings from far away!

What a great recipe and not terribly expensive.

This is great timing! I just bought Golden, Red and Black lentils from that same supplier.

So great! Thank you

Hi Pam, I love the idea of making up soup jars. Just to let you know. If you used a sharpie to label your lids, they are alcohol markers. Plan old rubbing alcohol will take the ink off too.

Your so great thank you, I’ve been dehydrating prepping for a little while love your videos so informative 👍🏻🫶🏻

Thank you so much for all your videos … cannot wait to buy your book!!!

Love this idea! Can be great gifts, I can simply include your instructions on a paper inside. Would really be great to have the nutritional values also. Thank you for sharing. Linda.

Awesome recipe as always 🙌 How many people does 1 of those quarts serve? During your testing phase along with the 15oz can of crushed tomatoes, did you add any freeze dried or dehydrated meat or poultry? PLEASE do a video of you cooking one of these quarts. Thanks for All you do 💞

Great video and they look beautiful. I have had a set of those bowls forever and had no idea that was also a spout I just thought of it as the handles. Makes since now that I saw it. Thank you!!

You are very organized! The soup mix is a wonderful idea! Thank you so very much.

I am excited to try this recipe. My husband and I watched together and were wondering why you don’t want the spices to mix in with the lentils?

Thanks for this recipe! I'm just curious if there is a taste difference in the different colored lentils! Great idea!!!

Such a great idea! Everything ready to go when needed. Thanks for this!

It’s always a joy to learn from you. Such a classy woman.

I love the idea. Thanks! What would happen if you did not put the spices in the little cup or the dried veggies in the plastic baggie? I'm not sure I understand why they need to be kept separate.

Could I do this with dehydrated veggies as I dont have a freeze dryer

Awesome video! I will be doing some of these for my pantry shelf. Thank you for sharing!

Superb! Delightful and delicious! Thank y’all! ~Sharon

I truly enjoy your teaching videos. But how do we reach out to you when we have questions?

I've been making the veggie blend for soups lately. But other than plain veggies, seriously dehydrated powdered chicken breast or any meat with almost no fat.

I made this the other day and my husband really likes it. Thanks so much for the recipe!🌏💖

I really enjoy how you share your methodology, it helps me understand and gain confidence in my own understanding. Thanks!
