As someone who grew up poor and had nothing, these videos are great and continue to be great, Larry. Ive always enjoyed them and continue to make struggle meals because they take so much heart and soul to make. Cooking is a labor of love, you always find a way.

[@TheWolfePit]

Glad you like them!

[@b01tact10n]

The costs here are crazy, I'm paying $8.10 a gallon for gas, 8.87 for diesel/fuel oil(used to fire up the stoves most of us use here in Alaska) I wonder if Joe Biden is struggling to make ends meet like us. Id rather see a Country led by someone who grew up having nothing because they would think of how much people have to struggle to live but seems like I don't mind because I feel a sense of great satisfaction and peace at the end of the day.

[@JaneAustenAteMyCat]

​@@b01tact10nthat's even more expensive for fuel than in the UK. I always thought Americans had cheaper fuel but I guess things have changed

[@rhargrow8399]

No he doesn't know what it is to struggle and he's not the cause of your struggle either. Corporate greed is why the cost of everything has skyrocketed. COVID put things on pause but it hasn't costed grocery stores or gas stations half as much as it cost the average consumer especially those of us living paycheck to paycheck

[@nightdagger]

@@JaneAustenAteMyCat We do. The only reason they're paying that much is because they're in Alaska and it's one of the most expensive places to live in the country. They just brought it up because they wanted to blame their hardships on Biden instead of corporate greed and their own choices.

[@darknation242]

I myself am in a struggling position. Roommate made chicken drumsticks two nights ago. I saved a bone from it and tried boiling it for the fat and marrow. Made the whole kitchen smell like home made soup. I added my ramen to it and that like leg bone added a rich tasting and creamy texture to the broth. Almost forgot I was eating .50 cent ramen.

[@GrubbsandWyrm]

If you need some cheap protein for the Ramen 1 egg goes a long way too

[@jazzew]

Mmmmm, sounds good!

[@bakkwa8705]

If you can get frozen vegetables on clearance sale , it would be even better . I always throw in a some frozen vegetables and whatever protein I can find and add it in my instant ramen . It makes a more balanced meal . Just use what you need and no wastage .

[@darknation242]

The frozen vegetables are high priority just behind buying more beans. If I can get money I'll be watching Walmart sales and stocking up when I can get there. I also am surprised what you can do with a big can of tomato soup. One can made about 6 portions of spaghetti and chicken and the rest I converted to chilli.

[@b.elzebub9252]

Dried beans, as well as dried (chick)peas and lentils are absolutely amazing. They keep unrefrigerated for ages as long as they're kept dark and dry. They're very nutritious and healthy. They have plenty of flavour and are very versatile. You just can't beat them in terms of dollar value. They're usually pretty affordable at the local supermarket. But the real value is buying online in bigger bulk. You can safely do that, due to how well and easily they keep.

[@lancerevell5979]

"Beans, beans, the musical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot!" 😂 I like the "front drum sticks" (wing butts) as there's no pesky tendons.

[@jayceewedmak9524]

The more you toot, the better you feel, so eat beans for every meal - 😊 (never too old for a toot joke 😉)

[@paulsalyer6866]

Whether one has little money or much money, these soups are cost effective, healthy and delicious. I truely enjoyed this presentation.

[@marywalker1394]

Absolutely ❤💯😋

[@arraybabe8514]

Making some beans with leftover ham bone today! Perfect timing! Cleaned my ham roasting pan over the hob with water to get extra flavor from the pan scrapple and threw that in too. Smelling great! Might crack in a few eggs during the last 20 minutes or so of cooking as well for even more nutrition! Food prices crazy! I was thrilled today to be able to head out to the garden and grab some "volunteer" winter greens that self -seeded from last years harvest to serve as a side with my ham! Thankful for small blessings.

[@canny8228]

I appreciate your videos for ppl on a budget. It sure beats the way I made it through tough times, with a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter! 🤣

[@TheWolfePit]

You are so welcome!

[@petezahrbock]

Mr,Wolfe pit. The budget friendly meals are awesome!! Keep up the great work 👌

[@TheWolfePit]

Thanks! Will do!

[@petezahrbock]

Awesome work bye the way!!!

[@bettyadkisson1681]

My aunt always made a 5 gallon pot of soups,chicken and noodle soup,soup beans ,then Chile with the leftover beans,that's how everyone enjoy different meals and the next few days the other aunts and my mom would make the rest of the weeks meals it was more the merrier and nice visiting too. Cause mother was one 11 sibbleings and all their children. Dad and uncle would hunt all meat that was in season,mom cleaner everything then fried smothered them too make gravy over home grown mashed potatoes,canned green beans and more milk gravy for potatoes. And if we had extra blackberries mom made a big pan of cobbler. Boy were those the days if togetherness of families. Now everyone has gone their own ways leaving the big family's at a lost.

[@bcollinsks1]

Looks great! Rice is cheap and really extends the bean soup for a few more pennies. Add about a cup of rice and some red pepper flakes. Just add the rice and cook on low for 30 minutes. I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@davidmilunic]

If you saute the onions, carrots and celery before adding them to the soup, it can add more flavor without increasing cost. Now you have made me crave some homemade soup! Great video!

[@nightdagger]

One of my favorites, which I just made yesterday, is a couple of pounds of cheap chicken, a couple of bags of frozen vegetables, a couple of whole onions, and a cup or so of dried lentils in an Instant Pot. Thick, hearty, tasty, and you can season it however you like...I did curry powder this time to give it a bit of kick.

[@lookingbehind6335]

Still an all time favorite at our house. Brings back memories of all the hard times being farmers in the 80’s.

[@Emily-Whitfield]

I grew up eating a lot of homemade soups! Also ate lots of cooked beans with hog jowl; smoked sausage,etc!! These simple dishes always kept us full and satisfied!!! Thanks for the videos, Larry❤❤❤❤❤ Emily W😊😊😊

[@ohnosmoarlulcatz]

My go to for years has been cans of cream corn, water, a bag of peas and carrots, eggs, and as much noodles/pasta/bread as needed. Pretty fast and still budget friendly.

[@JaneAustenAteMyCat]

The other great thing about these videos, besides the dishes, is the subtle encouragement that yes, having little money is not easy, but you can handle it ❤

[@lilblackduc7312]

I agree!

[@algolmantis3712]

Well said! I haven't thought of it that way but it explains just one of the reasons I like the videos!

[@tammiepowell2818]

With zero judgment of your current financial state.

[@TheWebbliest_Official]

Always love your videos Larry! This one hits home this time of year because hot soup is great for the mind, body and soul. From one cook to another, never stop making your videos, sir!

[@DLF-xq9lq]

For the people who are upset that the serving size won't fill them, you aren't supposed to eat until you feel full with every meal. If you eat the recommended servings for most foods then you will feel satiated but not full. The problem of eating until you feel full is that overtime your body will adjust and it will take more and more food to make you feel full. I went from obese to just overweight by just eating the recommended amounts of food.

[@sammoore9209]

Plus it's better for your body to eat smaller meals, even if you then eat an additional small meal or snack later. I have pancreas issues and its been a lot easier on my digestion to eat more small meals then fewer large meals.

[@smokeshow2142]

Something that works just fine as a meat in any recipe is cubed spam, a tinned ham, or corned beef. Im in western Canada, and cheap meat is hard to come by. Ive used a cheap tin of ham for split pea soup, ham and potato soup, and good old fashioned pease pudding....which can also be used as sandwich filler when its cold.

[@calihapamama]

I’ve found that smoked sausage works really well in split pea soup too. Bacon works well in a pinch too... anything salty and smoky.

[@mh6107]

The one thing I love more than this channel is soup

[@jajohnson7809]

One piece of advice I'll give to anyone struggling is learn to make biscuits from scratch. You can eat them with butter or jelly, make a breakfast sandwich, cover in gravy, and crumble up into soups when they dry out. Very filling, fairly cheap food. These soups look delicious, by the way!

[@leonardpearlman4017]

When I was in college I lived in a house with a group of students, we were all broke. It turned out that you could make one big biscuit and fry it in the typical cast-iron skillet, I guess it was more like "fry bread". Then we'd try to have some soup or something with "gravy" to go with it. We never got tired of this bread! It was hot and had that fried crust, there was never any left over. So, yeah I'd say biscuits and a rice-cooker for sure. I now will give someone a rice cooker and a sack of rice if they are broke, or going broke. You can't really lose if you have a pot of rice!

[@lilblackduc7312]

Thank you, Mr. WolfePit! These recipes and your encouragement are what we need...🇺🇸 👍☕

[@grizzlehatchet1]

With Christmas ham about to be on many families menus... Ham, cabbage and potato soup is a great way to serve up those ham scraps, use the ham bone.... And it's cheap!

[@ErinM-p3w]

I make a different soup every week this time of year. I call it Soup of the Week! Lol. I know, it’s such an original and inspiring name.i do all different vegetable soups, some chicken ones, tomato, chowders,you name it

[@ronaldyeater3322]

Sup Larry, great inspirational, well discussed recipes 👊. I never drain the beans, add salt after cooked.. forget the trolls, they probably get food from church and throw out what don't like, especially dry beans, lentils. Been making a soup or stew every week in crockpots, as you know just ingredients have around,and I can't stand by stove long anymore, keep up the great work, 🙏, tyvm PS, when saw the cabbage stew was going to say can add lentils😂🤣

[@KrisSchwarz98]

I grew up in a Kentucky middle class household and we always had stews and soups, so this video is so nostalgic and very helpful, Mr. Larry Wolfe

[@KrisSchwarz98]

What about your version of a Tomato Soup or Bisque with a Grilled Cheese Sandwich Recipe on a budget? That seems like a good video idea, Mr. wolfe

[@debbiekerr3989]

Hello Larry I made this soup using some leftover turkey that I chopped and since I didn't have the stock or broth I used ketchup 1/2 cup to 2 cups water. I put everything in my crock pot cooking it on low about 3hrs. It turned out great.

[@DOSBoxMom]

Probably my favorite resource for making chicken broth is L.B. Jamison Chicken Soup Base, available at my local supermarket. It's drier than "Better than Bouillion", so releases from the measuring spoon more easily, plus provides much more broth for the price (91 cups vs. 56 cups). I'm currently using a jar of Knorr Chicken Bouillion powder, which is OK (and available in bulk from Costco & Sam's Club), but saltier than either the L.B. Jamison or the "Better than Bouillion". Canned/boxed broth is more convenient, but also more expensive and bulkier to store, so I only buy it when I am planning to use it in a specific dish in the near future (and am feeling too lazy to combine bouillion/soup base with water!).

[@chrishanneman1298]

Good call combining all these favorite recipes into one video, especially this time of year.

[@HappyNanny10]

I loved every soup you showed on this video!! Can’t wait to try all of them!!

[@RebeccaGoodell-l7w]

I appreciate seeing all your budget cooking videos. Especially with prices for groceries so high.

[@KeithStevensMoes]

Hands down a new family favorite. Cost ? glad it can provide for those that are strapped, but a fun and damn tasty meal.

[@guybowers9094]

Like you, I don't like the cold. I grew up in poverty and my mom could make some filing and tasty soups and each of these would be great during the winter whether one is poor or not. Much appreciated

[@lyndakempland4559]

Beans are great. I always make split pea and ham soup after Christmas. Not a bean but filling and fragrant

[@JamesSmith-pc6bh]

Cannot eat split pea soup since seeing "the exorcist". They used split pea soup for the throw up scene.

[@calihapamama]

@@JamesSmith-pc6bhif you ever want to try making split pea soup without thinking of The Exorcist, use Yellow Split Peas. Tastes exactly the same.

[@nekoDan]

Great looking recipes! I’ve found that taking a cup or two of the beans and veggies and blending them makes for a creamy texture.

[@donnabradshaw5200]

I've enjoyed your video's for quite some time. You always present things in a lighthearted way. Thorough descriptions, and an all around fun time.

Hi Larry, I appreciate your struggle meals. I've been there without enough food. It's not that way anymore though. And I'm always on the lookout for a good soup recipe. I can soup in the winter. I'm planning on bean and ham soup over the next week. Thank you for everything that you do.

[@thelegion_within]

I invested in a stovetop pressure cooker last year - it's been super useful in cooking beans (and a lot of other stuff but I generally use it for beans). pre-soaked beans cook to tender in approximately 25 minutes at pressure. then once cooked I'll make a soup, or refried beans, etc. really solid gadget, well worth the investment.

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

Ok, gonna have to try the cabbage roll soup one, I love the idea of using lentils. Wonder if I can adapt it to instant pot or if it's too thick... I'm watching this while eating chicken noodles. Was supposed to have been soup but I put in too many noodles!

[@pjd2709]

If making in an instant pot I would not add the cabbage or the cooked rice till after cooking the other ingredients, add cabbage and rice and cook on the sauté button for 10-15 minutes or so, otherwise they may become real mushy!

[@bunhelsingslegacy3549]

@@pjd2709Thanks for the suggestion, rice is one thing I have never cooked in the rice cooker, I use a rice cooker for rice... When I make soups I do the stock first, pull out the bones and separate any remaining meat, then add veg and potato for like 2 min, then add noodles or cooked rice and the cooked meat for one more minute and that's more than enough to get everything tender.

Getting hard to get a pound of dried beans for around $1. Pound of pintos at Dollar Tree is $1.25 and it’s hard to do much better. Some Walmart beans are under $1.50 a pound, though. I used to buy on-sale frozen turkeys, thaw them, and grind the meat. The first time I didn’t notice those thin bony tendons or whatever they were in the legs, and so I got some crunchy ground meat!

[@thelegion_within]

bulk purchase of dried beans online is a better buy than many places these days - more variety too, some of the heirloom beans taste amazing

[@desertodavid]

Do you have a Food 4 Less nearby? I got 3 lb of pinto beans for $1 they come in a Big bin so you have to scoop them yourself into a bag, which is nice though because you can get exactly as much where as little as you want.

I didn't know we were poor, growing up i didn't have much just a few clothes but i kept clean, no toys or anything but i was happy because my parents were happy but id hear my mom crying alot before my birthdays and Christmas. I got clothes but my mom and dad gave me tools as i got older and i still got them. Rich people seemed to treat me badly but now look at their kids no jobs just living off them. I love hardwork it gives me the best feeling at the end of the day and i love the old style of struggle meals because they are made with love. I was invited to others dinners a few times but... i never tasted any love in their foods like they took things for granted. These are great ideas Mr. Wolf and my appreciation for what my parents did for me which im paying them back 10 fold because of my realization of how we grew up. Thanks mom and dad for a great childhood!

[@clashkid83]

I love winter. It's a welcome reprieve from the stifling, miserable heat that Texas gets 9 months out of the year.

[@jazzew]

Mmmmmm... Yum! I always liked the look of the bean soup (1st one). It looks so comforting and delicious! One of these days I'm gonna try it somehow! Hee hee. :D My fave soup is also split pea and ham! Sooo good... Also, I do enjoy winter, but I enjoy more that scene you described at the first--sitting indoors with hot soup and looking out...especially when there's a snowstorm! Thanks for sharing the soups again! :D

I love bean soup -- but never have had it with turkey. I try to keep kielbasa around - wonder what that would taste like? I get everyone's bones from whatever we have. Lost out on the turkey carcass and my DIL felt so sorry about it she roasted off a turkey out of her freezer and gave me not only the bones but the dark meat too. Hoping for a nice ham bone come Christmas.

[@michelestellar7725]

Saute those vegetables in butter, bacon grease or olive oil to release more flavor then add abit of water to the pan add the vegetables and liquid to the soup pot. Barley flakes make a great thickener and add a grain. If you have a bulk food store look into the options in grains they in combo with beans make a complete protein and can add variety for a really cheap cost.

[@DOSBoxMom]

I assume the smoked turkey legs would be preferable to raw turkey legs, for extra flavor and less cooking time? I make chicken noodle soup with leftover roast chicken (and made turkey noodle soup with leftover Thanksgiving turkey not long ago) in my pressure cooker. (I can do those in the slow cooker as well, but have to cook the noodles separately, while they can cook along with the soup ingredients in the pressure cooker.)

some people may need to dump the water due to not being able to handle the enzymes that cause the gas. I am one of those people but I dump the rinsing water on plants. its a great fertilizer. I do keep bones, skins, etc from any meat in a bag then will stew them all down to make meat stock, broth or bone broth. That is an economical way to use every bit. These are great recipes.

[@ralphhearnjr]

Quick comment. Enjoy the wolf pit. Love the recipes. One thing. The beans need a little baking soda when soaking to take the poot 💨💨💨 off of them. Other than that great video. Pinto great northern and navy beans and hot water cornbread are spot on in the winter. 👍

[@ColdWarPrepper]

Love your show - it is not a question of your integrity - in my opinion, what they might be questioning is that you quite often put a decimal and a cent sign together which means a fraction of a cent - you should do it as the receipt you showed - dollar sign and a decimal showing a fraction of a dollar. So something that is $.50 is 100 times more expensive than something that is .50c or $.0050 PS I quite often put a link to one of your videos in my post SHTF recipe idea shorts I do daily - I think you do a great job of showing rational post SHTF eating

[@robertkage8308]

In all honesty if you want to be full a simple solution and pretty cheap at least in my opinion.

[@caninedrill_instructor5861]

Sir, I enjoy your videos. However, I would like to point out a couple of things I've learned about legumes. From the reading and research I've been able to do online. You should soak your beans, not to reduce gasseous emissions, but to remove phytates that interfere with nutrient absorbtion. As a corollary, you definitely do want to discard the soaking water as that will be where the phytates are removed to from the soaked beans. Also, a technique I learned from a falafel recipe is to add a teaspoon of baking soda, or powder to the beans while soaking.

[@MrRufusjax]

Correct on the ham bone. Pure gold and most people throw them away. They always have some meat stuck to them that comes off when you boil them and the bone itself makes an outstanding soup base.

[@deshaefromarounthawayricha7324]

[@faszikilawang8445]

To stretch any one of these just a little farther, if you've got an extra 80 cents, you can cut up a can of biscuits into the broth while it's simmering. Those little dumplings are pretty good too.

[@Desertthorn11]

Cheaper than any smoked meat are those tubes of chrizo for $1.25 . You can use about half the tube, for the full pot, but the whole tube would be better. Serve with some home made flour, water, yeast and salt bread.
