Thank you for this! Campbells is LOADED with sodium.

[@genettejackson6593]

Thank you for sharing this

[@lindafoster8182]

Thank you for these recipes. Now the big question do you have a recipe for cream of cheese soup?

[@carolbampton1946]

Cheers for this we in Australia love you

[@eclecticbasil]

Start checking your canned soups. Many will say bioengineered ingredients! Campbells is one of them! This is not good for health and like glyphosate is effecting fertility and causing autoimmune and cancer. Eat organic non GMO non bioengineered when you can! I’m always happy when you post a new video! I know how much work goes in to this and you are one of the most engaging people on here! Much love ❤️

[@ellengrace4609]

Thanks for sharing this important information! I get how frustrating it can be to go “natural,” especially for busy parents. It’s difficult for me and I’m single! But I have autoimmune disease and conditions from inflammation (arthritis, bursitis), and I’m convinced all of my conditions are a result of eating typical processed foods. I now try to eat everything as close as possible to fresh, local, organic, and homemade from scratch. I’ve been working on this for 5-7 years and have made much progress, but there’s still more I can improve. I haven’t bought canned soup in years!

[@eclecticbasil]

@@ellengrace4609 💔

[@mechanicsoffreedom]

I check everything now, it's getting to where it's slim pickings. Trying to grow and raise as much of our own as possible, not only to save money and not end up dependent on the system. But also it's not processed and I don't have to wonder what's in it.

[@constancebeck2992]

Yes and Campbell's just bought raos spaghetti sauce. How disappointing

[@ellengrace4609]

@@constancebeck2992 That is disappointing. They’ll mess it up for sure. Good thing I can make a very similar version with a can of Cento San Marzano tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and basil.

[@lindacgrace2973]

Quick tip from an Old South cook: skip the butter - use melted chicken fat (schmaltz) saved from any roasted chicken. It reinforces the chicken flavor. Also try a Bouquet Garni of sage, fresh celery leaves, parsley, and a fresh bay leaf (or half of a dried bay leaf) a few whole peppercorns, and one single whole clove (I put everything into a steel tea ball which makes it easy to fish out) when making your broth. Fish out the bouquet before using. It really enhances the chicken flavor. For a lighter, sweeter chicken broth for lighter meals, leave out the sage and bay leaf and use tarragon and thyme, instead (my mother's favorite combination). Love your recipes, Cassandra! You inspire me to return to my roots.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Oooh, Linda YOU are a cook after my own heart and I love this hack. You know I’m going to give this a try next time but my taste buds are already telling me it’s delicious!! Thank you for sharing my friend!

[@denisebryant4369]

You can use coffee filters too. They stand up to boiling very well. I use them in jam making and fig preserves. It's been a long time since I've bought cheesecloth.

[@lindacgrace2973]

@@BecomingaFarmGirl You're welcome 😊

Schmaltz is definitely an under rated and under used ingredient

[@suzycowan5072]

Because I have a limited amount of freezer space (which is usually full of berries and meat), I like to make a version that is shelf stable. To do this, just follow the recipes just as you have shown in your video except that you will leave out all the dairy and flour. You will also want to leave the ingredients in the diced stage (but still sautéed). Follow every stage of your beautiful recipes, then just pressure can in pint jars. When you're ready to use them, that's when you'll finish up the recipes by adding your dairy and flour and using your emulsifier to chop everything really well. It tastes wonderful and will last on the shelf for 3-5 years, although I don't usually make enough to last that long. Thank you so much for your video and the yummy recipes which I got from your blog. As I share with friends and family, I will definitely be giving you all the credit, thank you. May God always Bless you ~SuzyJC-in-Central-Southeastern-Ohio_08.20.2023~

Girll, when I found out I could make my own cream of mushroom soup, it was a game changer. Thanks for putting the knowledge out for others. You are simply the best (in my Tina Turner singing voice) 😂 ❤

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hey 👋🏾 T! Always good to see you! I need to head over to your kitchen/channel and see what you’ve been canning recently. Scratch cooking really makes you realize how product-ized our food system is. Habla for watching! 🥰

[@Kat-gx3se]

I make this for my keto recipes. Cornstarch is not really keto friendly or good for Type 2 diabetes. Xanthan Gum will thicken the soup but I actually prefer to just let it simmer a bit and it will thicken on it's own. This tastes so much better than canned and contains only good ingredients. Thanks for posting this. Love your energy.

[@lynneb.3935]

As someone who has a son who is celiac (and I make sure that I keep gluten items out of our house), let me tell you - it’s very difficult to find gluten free cream condensed soups. I can easily adjust your recipes to make them gluten free (and vegan when we want that). Thank you so much!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hi friend! You are spot on and I totally forgot to mention gluten free folks, sorry about that. But yes, as long as you use a gluten free flour this will be a perfect recipe for you!

[@ravenlaughs9757]

One of my grandsons is a vegetarian and I make nut milk to use for creams/milk in recipes for him.

[@kd5499]

3 of 4 family members have Celiac. Canned cream of soup here is over $3 per can!

[@carriebreese]

I also have celiac disease and when making creamy based soups that need to be thicker I add instant potatoes as a thickener and it actually works beautifully

[@DonnaMSchmid]

Important note: The type of canning jars you used for the first recipe are NOT freezer safe! The only canning jars that should be used in the freezer are those without shoulders (for example, see 9:19 ). Jars that have a shoulder (for example, see 3:44) can break in the freezer, due to the expansion of the contents as they freeze.

[@SuperWonderbar]

I had one jar break that had the shoulders. I think the reason is that I filled it to the top whic hcaused the contents to have noway to expand without breaking free. Am I right?

[@DonnaMSchmid]

That's exactly right! As contents freeze, they'll either expand sideways or upwards. Generally, because of the glass holding in the sides, it tries to go up... In a non-shouldered jar, the contents are free to expand straight upwards. But in a shouldered jar, the glass curves inward at the shoulder, restricting the content's movement and creating pressure. If too much pressure is created, the only thing it can do is break the glass.@@SuperWonderbar

[@tbrough90]

I've been struggling lately, and even though I know we will likely never meet, I come to your channel and feel the comfort of a friend. Thank you.

[@lostwithoutaplan]

Whoa! Being allergic to corn I haven't ahead any cream of soups in over a decade! Thanks for offering a homemade version that works for me and other corn-free folks, too!

[@valb213]

You can also use King Arthur measure for measure gluten free flour and use it exactly like the regular flour. And just make sure you cook the flour 3-5 mins before adding liquid. You will not be able to tell the difference if you are gluten sensitive or have celiac disease.

[@TRTGCbyjroed]

Hi Cassandra. Oh yeah making HOMEMADE Cream Soups ~ the only way to go. I can't remember the last time I purchased store bought creamed soup.....maybe in the late 70's LOL😂. Your GreenStalks look absolutely amazing. I can't wait to start harvesting fresh veggies from my GreenStalks. This was a brutal summer here in Las Vegas (zone 9B) with daily TRIPLE DIGITS. I lost quite a few plants as a result UGH🥵. God is finally lowering our temperature (a tad bit). I will start planting my Fall garden next week...wish me luck. Thank You for sharing another delicious "old school recipe". Be Blessed and have a wonderful weekend. 🙏🏾

[@michellebowden7528]

We brought our small farm a year ago. And I had no idea. How to save money,can,and grow vegetables. I found your KZbin one day while looking for shows on how to grow vegetables . Oh my goodness, you have helped this old girl so much . By watching your shows, I have even learned how to live a healthier lifestyle and lose 35 lbs. Thank you so much for doing what you do. You are a true blessing.

[@cbagot]

So glad this popped up! I’ve wanted to switch to homemade for these creamed staple soups! I love your channel! I’m half way through this and think I’ll make these minus the flour and cream and then can in pints of half pints. Then add the rest when I use in a recipe. I have very little freezer space. I can’t wait to try this.

[@diannamc367]

Great idea!

I can’t use condensed soup’s because of the high sodium. These recipes are a game changer for me! Thank you so much!! ❤️

I stock up when I see $7 organic milk half gallons on clearance. I got 3 recently for $1.50 each. I also score $9 organic yogurt quarts on clearance for $3. I just opened a carton of this close dated sale yogurt I got in late May and it is 8/18. I used it to make a yummy coffee cake. It was just fine. So I am just going to use it in other baked goods to freeze. I am always scouring the organic and other food clearance items. My project now is clearing a freezer shelf for deals I find. Time to make my own “cream of anything soups” too. Thanks for all of your wise videos. It makes cooking and stocking up fun!! 🤩 Oh I love the crock pot broth trick!! You are the bomb diggity girl. 💕 also cold water works better for “ slurries”.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hey love! So good to see you again. YOUR kitchen sounds like the place to be and I can tell that you are a grocery store guru. I am a little hen in the grocery store, huntin' and peckin' all around for those reduced sale items, seasonal items, and collecting inspiration from frozen or boxed meals that I know I can make at home. "Cream of anything" could have been its own video! That's probably my favorite because it comes out a little different each time, but SO GOOD! Thanks for the cold water slurry tip!

[@sharondesfor5151]

I'm also imagining freezing it into ice cube trays and just tossing as many cubes as I need into recipes. My ice cube trays are two tablespoons, so 8 cubes per cup or 10 per can. Then I could just chuck all the cubes into a gallon container to make them more stackable. Ooh, I'm having a moment here. Suddenly I'm imagining using dehydrated everything, including bouillon and powdered milk, to end up with a just-add- water powder. I bet a "can" would fit into a half pint container or old jelly jar. It would be shelf stable, so as to save freezer space. 🤔 I'm off to do a little research and maybe some recipe testing. I am so grateful for your channel, Cassandra. I only discovered you a few months ago and have been binge-watching you ever since. Subscribed!

Thank you for all you do.

[@UltravioletHeather]

You can still can them if you use a pressure canner and do the time and pressure matching what you would do for meat. We canned butter last year and it is awesome. You just need to shake the jars every 5 minutes after you have taken it out of the pressure canner until the jars are cool and when you open the jar the butter is just like butter from the store.

Lord do we need rain. Cool front tomorrow only 108. Have a great weekend.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Donna! Always good to see you lady. Thank you for the compliments on my GreenStalks. During the summer I keep them covered with insect covers and that really keeps my crops looking good. I've just loved growing my own celery in them. Goodness, its hotter than the surface of the sun where you are. You know how I feel about figs so I feel your pain. Drats, I'm so sad to hear that, but it was the right choice in the long term. Enjoy your weekend as well!

I love that i will be able to make some of my mom's old 'processed sauce' based recipes with this, more nutritious and gluten free. A great hack for the classic 'pork chops in mushroom sauce'.

[@OrganicMommaGA]

I guess I have already been doing a lot of this, since I found out I'm allergic to casein (and the high-priced vegan alternatives)! My "go-to" is onion and mushroom, cooked down with whole fat coconut milk instead of cream or half & half. My favorite is to get whatever fresh mushrooms I can on sale, slice them up and pop them in the dehydrator if I can't spend time to cook them down because otherwise, they turn for the worse quickly on me. My children never knew I used those dehydrated mushrooms in so much because I tend to powder a lot of the ones I dehydrate and add to meatloaf, casseroles, pasta sauces, and soups. Thanks so much for the reminder, Cassandra - time for me to get back in the kitchen!

[@FlashGordon1023]

@@ravenlaughs9757 For health reasons, I am carnivore, so no plants. I will use a light amount of spices once a week, but that's it. Heavy cream is fine. I will sometimes add heavy cream with some water to thin it out. Milk is the secreted by the mammary glands of female mammals, so there is no such thing as a nut milk. 😄 But thanks for the suggestion.

[@almostoily7541]

You can also use heavy cream as a thickened sauce by pouring it over whatever you are baking. It will thicken as it cooks. If your food is giving off a lot of liquid, you can wait until it's almost done, drain the liquid and then add the cream before putting back in the oven.

I’m so glad to know you can freeze the homemade cream soups. These soups looked good enough to eat on their own. Your GreenStalk garden is inspiring. I tried to garden in the GS for the first time in spring. I didn’t have great success, but I’m hoping that my attempt at a fall garden will be more successful. Love your videos and your energy!!

Hello friend! 👋🏾 Yes, you can freeze condensed soups and they come out wonderfully! if you don’t mind, tell me more about your Greenstalk issues; maybe I can help you trouble shoot?!

@@BecomingaFarmGirl I tried to do too much from “scratch “ as a brand new gardener, I think. Because the purchase of 3 GSs was substantial for my budget (as well as all the seed starting pots/containers, grow lights, heat mats,etc.), I tried to make my own potting mix rather than invest $300+ more to buy enough quality bagged mix like Fox Farms, Espoma and others. I think my mix was way too dense even though I followed the recipe of a KZbin gardening channel. Additionally, I became frustrated and lost confidence because it seemed that there were as many different opinions about how to do something when starting a garden (potting mix recipes as an example) as there were gardeners who had KZbin channels. As a newbie, it just became overwhelming, so when 100% of my bare root strawberry plants died in my GS about a week after planting them, I just didn’t want to continue with the same effort and work it had been to get the strawberry GreenStalk set up/filled, planted correctly, and consistently watered. This, by the time my pepper and lettuce seedlings had germinated, grown enough to be potted up, and then ready to transplant, I just couldn’t muster the energy to mix up a potting mix recipe again, and get the remaining 2 GSs going. My little plants remained in their 3” pots. I got a little harvest, but nothing close to the effort I had put in or the sense of failure I experienced. Going forward, I’m trying to “lighten up” a little and not worry so much about whether I’m doing everything the “right” way. I’m also eliminating as many steps in the process as I can: I’ve amended the mix I made for the GS I attempted to grow in and have it ready to go for fall planting. I purchased enough bagged mix to fill the remaining tiers of my GSs, and rather than germinating seeds indoors, potting up & finally transplanting to the GSs, I’m just sewing seeds directly into each GS pocket. I have no clue whether it’ll work, but at least it makes me excited to try again. Im going to plant collards, kale, all top turnips, arugula, spinach, Swiss chard, scallions, carrots, kohlrabi, and radishes. If you have any suggestions or trouble shooting to share, I’d be grateful and keenly interested in what you have to say. Thank you for even making the offer to help! You may not realize how much that encourages me to keep going and touched me. ❤️ Sorry for such a long reply.

​@@debbiehaney2467way to go on trying to grow in your greenstalks. I hope your fall planting is successful! I just got 2 GS's and it's too late to start them up for fall, but I'm gonna try in the spring. I'm looking forward to any reply Cassandra has b/c her GS's are magical 💖. Just keep going, gardening is a learned skill, you can do this!!! (Hugs and happy gardening)

This is great. There are allergies in my home. This is the best way to know exactly what is in it. Thank you so much.

Perfect timing. I just used my last can and I didn't want to buy anymore.

Cassandra you are such an inspiration❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am fortunate enough to have saved up for a freeze dryer. I think I will try these and then freeze dry to mix up whenever we need one. I'll keep you posted!--UGH so sorry--my kid messed with my name lol....

[@Fedgov]

Just found your channel! I will be sharing! Excellent easy to follow information! Thank you!

Girl, I hope the jars of mushroom soup do not break when the soup freeses. I would have filled the jars a little less full if not using freezer jars. Love, love, LOVE your channel!

[@cynrok]

same, i make my own cream soups and freeze but i freeze with the lid off first to see how far it's going to expand, then add the lid. sometimes it erupts over the rim of the jar!

[@kathyf8910]

I recently learned you can write with a sharpie on the glass and wash it off with soap, water, and a sponge. It's very convenient.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

No way? I’m going to try this! Thank you sharing this tip!!

[@MaribethAlexander]

Great idea! I’ve never made homemade cream of anything soup! I know it’s better and better for you. Thanks for sharing!

[@Willow_and_Sage]

Your subs keep growing so fast!

[@carriebreese]

You can actually also add instant potatoes as a thickener instead of flour when making a slurry or when you're making a soup that you want to thicken up

[@hello-vs4me]

Hi just got my silicone big muffin pan walmart finally had so making all your breakfast you made in them thanks ❤😊

[@Fern_Thaddeus]

I use goat cheese/milk for EVERYTHING, so have to make our own everything that’s dairy related! My son is allergic to cow dairy, and our other son super lactose intolerant (painful), and we LOVE GOAT everything. Try it, I’m sure you already have. People turn up their nose to “goat”, but man oh man it tastes just the best! I think how maybe even Jesus Christ had more goat dairy than cow, like most of the rest of the world. I even use it for making cake frostings. For us… I’ve shared with friends without telling them and they didn’t even notice. Love your channel, thank you girly ❤ “Maranatha”, God bless !
