@@audreydoyle5268 make black magic layered aubergine pasta then. Rlly look it up you can substitute the pasta with eggplant or zucchini or whatever you like and it's still extremely good. Even better than the original sometimes butt u didn't hear that from me
Well it doesn’t have all the extra additives like heavy cream, milk, processed cheese’s, extra fatty meats, etc! With all the veggies and it not costing alot, it’s affordable and in a way healthy! Not pathetic at all for a family that needs a quick meal weirdo 😂
@@sonyab20 in what universe does a normal ass beef stew have a bunch of "processed cheese" in it and NOT have a bunch of veggies. gurl wut are you smoking.
There's a LOT of European hunter's stew recipes that start with the same base (chicken stock, aromatics, tomato paste). You can add more flavor by browning the base aromatics first (I'd use a soffrito mix: celery, carrots, onions, all diced small -- or switch the celery with bell peppers) before adding the tomato paste (cook them thoroughly!) then meats, stock, and finally vegs.
huh? I have never seen or heard of anybody here eating "Summer Stew" I have lived in many differenyt parts of the US, too but maybe it is just some families
I'm Croatian (Europe) and we cook this often, in summer often without the meat and call it sweet cabadge (soup). It is really good and healthy, and yes for a time it was a hit in dieting because it doesent contain a lot of calories, is filling, healthy (and if eaten daily, makes POOP😂).
The secret to making tomato paste delicious is to fry it with a little oil in pan first (add seasoning if you want) and THEN add it to your pot. I promise it would taste better
It's always interesting to me to find names for dishes that I just grew up with, and just called like beef soup/stew or something (probably not the official name just what I knew it by). I like it because it shows me that even though growing up and up until i saw this video that I thought it was a common thing that everyone knew about, doesn't mean it is just because I know about it and the people I know know about it and that's one of my favorite things about the internet You made it look really good, and I wish I could have a bowl just like when I was younger, great video.
@@azurastar3223 see that's what I was saying too, like at home I remember being excited about the stew, but knowing that it wasn't anything fancy and that they made it so that we had food for like a week (family of 6), so it's fun (and even funny sometimes ) watching internet discover or try to repackage what I grew up with
@@bostonb4kedbeans I know, that's why I said that this is one of my favorite thing about the internet. Because it reminds me that my common things aren't common
Bc a well seasoned stew with meat and vegetables kind of IS the best thing ever. This recipe may have been common knowledge in the past, and still be common in many families, but many other people have never been taught how to cook, and there are many USA gen z who have never had a homemade soup in their lives. I am lucky to have a mom who is a pretty good cook, but I actually still had never heard of this particular type of stew/soup before, because not every family knows every recipe. (My family in particular usually doesn’t do stews/soups, bc my dad dislikes most soups/stews, so until I started learning to cook for myself, I’d rarely ever eaten any soup, and I didn’t realize how awesome soup is). Tragically, even in the age of the information superhighway, families are losing generational knowledge as automation takes over opportunities to learn traditional techniques, and if people in “first world countries” don’t feel inspired to re-learn lost knowledge, we may stop making wholesome home cooked meals like this altogether. I applaud cooking influencers for preserving these recipes by teaching them to thousands of people, including me, so that we can pick techniques back up after our family has lost them. Personally I learned almost all of my cooking from the internet and a cooking class I took, including how to make “pasties”, which are a very simple British meat pastry. It’s in my heritage, because my British grandma used to make pasties all the time, but unfortunately she was not a good cook (bless her heart), so her recipe just doesn’t do pasties justice. I learned online to make better pasties and have made them a few times. (They’re delicious). This recipe here is completely new to me, and I’m definitely going to try it.
In Mexican culture we make something similar. It's called " Caldo de Res" translating to beef soup. Some people cook it sans tomato or with it. Though a lot of people cook the chicken one (Caldo de Pollo) for healthier reasons. I'm vegetarian, so I make a pure vegetable one. Coincidentally- turns out vegan.
This reminds me of a Chinese soup my mum always makes - luo song tang or chinese borscht. Basically, it subs the beetroot for tomatoes. Looks super good tho!!!
That looks like this really common soup from Central Europe (common as in: home cook common, you’ll never see it in a restaurant cuz it came from desperate times)
@@user-ry6jj6kx2s yeah, the US and Europe shouldn’t be lumped together, I think many Europeans would take great offense lol The one time Europeans agree on something haha
"witch stew" lmao, here in the US that's just your pretty standard stew, though at home we don't usually add cabbage, instead we add celery and onion and we'll use a couple cans of stewed tomatoes. parsnip also goes well in it. it's always even better the next day so make enough to have leftovers!
I like the format of laying out all the ingredients you're gonna use before cooking 👀 makes it looks a lot less intimidating to attempt that way! I gotta find that pot you're using to cook too
I want one too... I just saw KimonoMom's Short advertising the Japanese clay pot version called Donabe, can be used on burners, induction stove, or microwave
@erikad0511 i would want to read up on product and see long tested etc. At least with gas you can see what flame you have. Unlike my unreliable elec plate stove thst doesnt work correctly
Same! I just wanted to stew, and I added tomato paste, miso and nutritional yeast, so it would add some flavour. Turns out it’s similar to a recipe that exists in another country! I add some lentils and /or chickpeas for protein.
@@jenninemorel7693the real tip is to know the difference between sell by, use by, and best before. Best before is effectively good forever, but flavour/consistency/quality will deteriorate over time. Just don't eat it if it went moldy. Sell by is just the date stores are allowed to legally sell up until. It could still be good, but also might go bad the next day. It's luck of the draw, so smell/taste test before consuming. Use by means you shouldn't use it beyond that date as that's the minimum safe length of storage time. These times are usually pretty accurate. Generally speaking, you should NOT use foods beyond their use by date as they can cause considerable harm through different kinds of food poisoning, which often results in hospitalisation or death.
It’s a lot of basic meals that have mostly veggies in it are considered healthy! This beef soup dish looks great and it’s a quick and easy go to meal when we’re low on cash!
it's very much similar to Arabic dish called tabakh rohe which means cooking by its own as it doesn't need souch effort it's like a comfort dishfor tired mothers❤❤❤
I just made a huge pot of this for me, my boyfriend, and my friends. I added some beef stock with the chicken stock and this is the best stew I've ever had!! I can't get enough!
I make cabbage soup that is similar to this. It just has the cabbage, carrots, chicken stock and tomato juice instead of paste. There was a diet based on eating cabbage soup and a few other things, lol. But I just genuinely like it.
In the Philippines, we call this Potchero and it's literally our national hero's favorite dish. I love it because you can just make it whatever veggies you like or have, similar to Chopsuey/Chopsui.
It's a basic stew I cook all the time in autumn and winter when the cabbage season hits. It's a german winter vegetable and not much else grows here when it's cold.
I adore your cute ceramic pot with the lid that is a cute bowl. I find that all cultures and countries outside of America have such beautiful and unique cookware. In America everything utilitarian is ugly compared to other countries. I love the cookware of the various Asian cultures, as well Azerbaijani cookware and Central Americans have beautiful cookware also. I wish I could travel just to go buy cookware and household items from various countries. This looks yummy. I’m going to subscribe to see all the lovely things you plan on sharing with us all. ☺️💛🌸
Good ol Summer Soup~ Perfect use of a bunch of veg that you don't have much to do with, or left overs from other nights. I like garnishing with some avacado tbh.
i didnt hear it was for weight loss. i just looked online for spooky recipes snd got vegetarian witches stew, with mushrooms that had little eyes cut into them, and pumpkin shaped carrot slices
Oh, I make something similar for my kids, only we call it Troll Soup (my son likes trolls). I usually put broken spaghetti into the soup, so that its like troll hair. I often use sausage or leftover meats for protein, or I add some beans. For us adults its a tasty veggie soup that is different from what we normaly do. For the kids its a fun soup with a story, where they want to eat a variety of veggies, not just peas and carrots.
Thank you so much for focusing on healthy and delicious meals, I love food and food videos but struggle a lot with my weight and its nice to see something that looks genuinely delicious and is healthy ❤
Im on a keto diet and your videoes helped me a lot ❤🥰 I know you do put ingredients that are a no no for my diet, but I just find a different substitutes 😁 keep it up!
Keto diet has killed so many of my patients for multiple organ failure. Be careful and it should only be temporary unless your Dr requires it for a certain condition.
Where I live We usually put potatoes, carrots, sausage/meat, onion, Vegetable stew/Chicken Stew and other leftover vegetables. I don't put tomato in it because it changes the taste a lot and its honestly really good by itself. (Its also delicious when you dip bread with butter in it). This is honestly just a cheap, easy meal.
Reminds me of the "magic weight loss cabbage soup" craze we had in Europe a while ago, but this is seriously an upgrade, the European version was just vegetables and little else.
