To Frank and the team: we need you now more than ever. Thank you for keeping on making Struggle Meals content!

[@FrankieCooks]

More to come!

[@KurtAnderson812]

I’m thinking a few crispy fried onions sprinkled on top would give a nice kick of flavor and texture

[@lucas-wd6xq]

this show deserves so much more clout then what it has now , they deserve it all

[@AryaPhoenix]

Struggle Meals lowkey providing some of the highest quality cooking related content on YT: it's cheap, it's straightforward and it pays attention to nutrition/balanced meals. That's a winner imo

[@tallywhackerjones5105]

You're the best, Frankie.

[@Marialla.]

Celeriac is the name of celery root. You made Celeriac Soup. I would love to try it but they don't sell celeriac in my stores.

[@Kirihum]

It's the opposite here, I can get "Celeriac" everywhere, but no Celery stalks xD

[@annic7995]

@@Kirihum I'll trade you the stalks for the root. 😺

[@andreaduranova5938]

I never knew I needed to hear "lets make celery sexy again" until now. Thank you Frankie.

[@ebarocks]

He Drops the stock. Epic. Finally. can I please have all drop the stock video compilation

[@FrankieCooks]

Eric Hansen id be down to watch that

[@tx2128]

Celeriac is a specific cultivar of Apium graveolens; it's a completely different variety than stalk-type celery. It's also much, much easier to grow than stalk-type Celery which can be a diva in the garden. I've been growing it for years! Try it!

[@NinaSchexnider]

me watching this... I don't even want to make this soup. I just find Frankie highly entertaining.

[@readingchess]

Time to tell my boss that I need to clock out early. Cream of root soup is calling my name

[@101Sarahsaurus]

Such an underrated video and it’s still helping people, years later. Thank you 🙏

[@EzielYT]

I love this guy. Just great at what he does

[@alisonburgess345]

That’s celeriac Frankie... I’m gonna be growing some this year - so this recipe is one for the library! 😋

[@loribirch6172]

I love using celery leaves. They have so much flavor.

[@Geniosa06]

I've never seen a celery root in my entire LIFE. #mindblown

[@KP-lt8op]

This channel is amazing! Love the positive attitude and simple recipes!

[@sarahsims880]

This soup looks delicious - however root is slang for ‘have sex’ in Australia, so as an Aussie, Cream of Root soup doesn’t sound appetising 😂😂

[@snowflake8629]

Lol😂 Call it celeriac soup instead

[@Dontbeweakvato]

boink, lay out, hit, pound, get lucky, stuffing the turkey, bang, screw, skeet skeet

[@stoverboo]

Sounds sexy to me!

[@FaithFacts]

I never thought celery would be considered sexy, until now I guess

[@citogal]

You can use the technical name for celery - Apium graveolens. Sounds beautiful - Bisque de Apium graveolens...

[@colleenenloe1424]

Love it! Where do we request a Root-to-Stem episode to Radishes? Or a Root-to-Stem Celery Part 2? Or ways to use Broccoli leaves? Or all the parts of the Pea plant? With radishes: besides on salad, or pickled then on salad, or sauteed in butter then served on eggs, how else can we use them? I've heard radish leaves can be turned into a pesto but haven't been able to get that to work out quite right.

[@mattford30]

I would love to see a series using slow cookers.

[@shpuply]

One of my all-time favorite soups Frankie! Great share!

[@bobbidunn6654]

Anyone know where to get the whole celery plant? I have never seen it just the stalks 🤷

[@janetj471]

Bobbi Dunn ? Local farmer's market?

[@Eva-qr4rh]

I would say that the farmer's market is your best bet

[@bobbidunn6654]

I go every weekend to our famers market and none of the venders have the celery root 🤔 I'll have to ask a few of them about it I guess

[@jackietucker8942]

Good Question.

[@0Mayweed0]

Also called celeriac... sometimes sold separately from celery

[@henriwilliams7843]

This was short but very cool

[@smartersean]

Celery root to me when pan fried as steaks tastes like a whole fucking artichoke heart!!!! Just found this root back in March 2020!! You're amazing bro!

[@roshni2511]

I love this channel and Frankie lol

[@km-nq4tj]

I love ur show! And u r hilarious! Keep it up! Ur show is refreshing!! U funny AF!!! LOL

[@celiacannon8345]

My 3 celery plants are so huge in my garden that I’m afraid to dig them up🤣Thanks for this culinary inspiration 😉

[@lachlansmart2373]

I love to make celery and lime sorbet in the summer.

[@stoverboo]

I think some tiny shreds of carrot at the end would round out the root soup's creds, plus making it prettier.

[@lauragreen6764]

Love your show frankie!!! Have learned alot

[@2011Ohmygoodness]

Thanks, it looks good. Have a great and SAFE vacation.

[@EricRodgers1975]

Fun fact: Celery was once considered such a luxury item that wealthy families had special celery vases for serving the vegetable. Celery was difficult to grow well in the 19th century and into the early 20th century, so it wasn't available in many middle-class households. This soup would've been very decadent 100 years ago!

[@EwYoureCringe]

Where are the new shows?!! I miss this channel :(

[@marykater.7169]

Wow! I didn't know celery had that large a root! Did you grow that? I've never seen celery sold with the root...

[@addicted367]

Santa I want an immersion blender. 🎅📝

[@jbobkat4742]

Frankie where are you? I miss your creativity and inspiration!

[@paulwood238]

That’s a celeriac, not celery, we grow them in the garden, celery never grows a big round root, not even if you leave it to goto seed, but hey celeriac soup is nice

[@barbaracarbone4658]

Omg yummm. I'll be preparing this for sure. Thanksgiving, too. Thanks much 😊

[@JayOneAlumni]

It’s back babyyyyyyy

[@imogenwyatt957]

Please please please do an episode on like coffee drinks at home!?? It’s not a “meal” but let’s be honest, to most people it is 😂 I want to make yummy, fun coffee at home that doesn’t make me miss Starbucks 😌

[@johnbc]

Celery is Life!

[@keithdavidson4723]

The root of the celery is called “celeriac”, so how about Cream of Celeriac Soup?

[@brendakrieger7000]

Thanks😚😍

[@annic7995]

Is it the same with any plant milk added to the root soup? I'm laktose intolerant. 🙀

[@franky.378]

I had no idea celery root was a thing 😅

[@annic7995]

I hope grocery stores here stock it in the organik sektion.

[@jncchang176]

I didn't see you use any salt or pepper. Does that mean your stock is already seasoned?

[@sandraburke1590]

You could make this recipe with celery and it would be nice too.

[@cookieadams3375]

The next time I allow my coworkers to get on my nerves, I'm going to announce "IT'S TIME TO DROP THE STOCK!!" (What a great attitude adjuster!!)

[@sincere6294]

Where do u get celery with the root?

[@mytreesloth]

Where's he been?

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Celery leaves are fantastic in salad. Kills me how people just throw them away when they are so delicious.

[@AlexMint]

Nobody sells celery root around here. :/

[@alishahird897]

I've never see it sold with the root, not even at local farmers markets. I'd suppose, you'd have to order special or grow it yourself .

[@starryeyedwish8005]

I thought celery root wasnt actually from celery?

[@starryeyedwish8005]

Oh i just looked it up, its not but its part of the same family lol not that it matters

[@jujub4553]

Ain’t nobody got money for a blender we won’t use let alone an immersion blender

[@molly7404]

You can sometimes find them for about $20!

[@mirandamom1346]

I use my immersion blender ALL the time

[@alwin7891]

Can we essentials for utensils and crockery ? Which are good investment and all ? I don’t wanna waste money on something I’m gonna only use once

[@lisaboban]

One of the cheapest and best investments I ever made was an immersion blender. They're like $30 on Amazon. Use it all the time for soups, sauces, mayo, etc. They're easy to store in a drawer and clean up in a snap. If you want to take your cooking up a notch or two, get one.

[@bmcgovern8572]

Hey are you okay? Haven't seen you actively online in a few weeks

[@morganash7113]

We can’t get the whole plant here😭

[@TheVeganSouth]

I wouldn’t hate to see an all Vegan Struggle Meal .. Hint Hint

[@misfaranwar4489]

frankie where are you and u just saw your new video on snapchat what happened to you i am really really tensed are you okay frankie?

[@tyquanfleming8554]

Holli vs reuben

[@techynerdygypsy1731]

Please let's make it sexy cause I only use it in stocks...

[@learnarabicandquranstories3913]

🥀👍🥀👍🥀👍🥀🇾🇪👍

[@frankieamsden7918]

Creme de apio sopa

[@christinabrugger7058]

Soup is quite boring.. I grow Celery/Sellerie in my Garden. Our favorite Recipe is Sellerie 'Cordon Blue'. And the green parts are quite nice in a Salad or Slaw..

[@niharmehta6086]

Should I feel bad if I'm here just for entertainment?

[@commiesareevil3823]

Add bacon

[@mcmcmanus9375]

that's not celery - it's a different vegetable called celeraic i still like you though

[@jb6712]

WHAAATTT???? Why in the world does foobd have to be "sexy"??????? UGH!!! Food is for nutrition, and should be kept as such!!

[@kefahayesh303]

His new episodes are completely the opposite of what this show was meant to be and what made the content good and relatable. He is now in a high tech kitchen using ice cream makers that cost more than what most ppl make in a week. So disappointing
