How to Make Soup - The Victorian Way

📖Order your copy of Mrs Crocombe’s cookery book here: bit.ly/2RPyrvQ 📖
Mrs Crocombe is making a light soup using rhubarb from the kitchen garden at Audley End House.
INGREDIENTS
6 stalks of rhubarb
1 litre veal or beef stock
1 small onion
2 thin slices of bread, plus extra for croutons
Salt and pepper
METHOD
Take half a dozen sticks of fine young rhubarb, peel them, and cut them into short lengths.
Throw the rhubarb into a quart of good veal or beef stock and add a moderate sized onion, two thin slices of bread, and a little salt and pepper.
Let the liquor boil, remove the scum as it rises, and simmer the soup until the fruit is quite tender - around 30 minutes.
Strain it, and serve with toasted sippets.

She would roast you and serve you with a garnish of parsley. She wouldn't spill the tea though, it would probably make lord and lady Brabrook very upset. It's also not very dignified.

[@mistahkrazy805]

Croutons are baked or toasted bread that is either overcooked to make a bit hard or has been left to air a bit and hardens by exposure to the air. Helps to give texture, or a bite, to soups or salads where there wouldn't be one. Also adds fiber to the dish

Mrs Crocombe is a servant herself, but she also has servants working under her too. The cook is of a more upper level than the kitchen maids and remember most cooks were male then, Mrs Crocombe was a special case, a woman who climbed her way to the level of cook. She is a mid range servant, not the lowest not the highest but one of the highest yes. She sits at a different, higher level, servants table than the others too. Why were onions associated with the poor anyhow? Onions make flavor! Shallot too.

“Some people call them croutons......”🤣 I love this lady.

Holly Sue Yes, she is referring to us, the lowly peasants, 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@emilyvanda5513]

This is just one of my favorite channel s on KZbin and this series is absolutely stunning and so well put together. Mrs Crocombe should definitely get her own youtube channel with longer videos

[@ricorori]

Thank you for more Mrs. Crocombe! Would love to see what a puree or gentleman's soup would look like. Also, what other ingredients were more associated with the poor?

[@ricorori]

I'll be poor then, because I can't live without potatoes lol

[@healinggrounds19]

Garlic, onions of any sort-even scallions, potatoes, turnips, parsnips, any of the 'nips family.

[@ricorori]

No wonder the English have a reputation for bland food lol (I say that as someone that's half-English)

[@Imadurazno]

Science Fiction Double Feature So anything like a root then? Maybe because they grew in the ground and it was seen as too dirty for the hoitytoities

[@ferdynand2402]

Yes pleasee

[@jamesbarnett762]

I'm so glad I stumbled upon Mrs. Crocombe's videos. I find her to be absolutely delightful.

[@nelsoncabrera6464]

Last time I saw soup served on a tureen was at my grandmother's house almost 40 years ago. Seeing the one in this video unlocked a long forgotten childhood memory.

[@kathyhester3066]

How I have missed Mrs. Crocombe! Glad she is back.

[@lunoxmos7623]

I like how they've added an extra camera angle when she was adding the ingredients; it added to the very personal experience that is given by these videos.

Nobody: Victorians: “lets unessessarily gender soup!“

0:28 Mrs. Crocombe: AND FOR THE GENTLEMEN Is she trying to summon Edgar and Mr Vert all the way from the apple orchard to her kitchen??

[@akiko3337]

It's always funny to see the sweet-savoury combinations they used to make, like the cucumber ice cream, it sounds very strange nowadays. But I'd try this soup!

[@ceciliaspears161]

I can't begin to tell you how excited I am to have discovered this channel! I can't wait to see what all is in store!

[@WhiteStone21475]

“The kitchen maids can do that” - you earned my Subscription with that line alone. .Very interesting and excellently put together. A lot of work and effort truly well worth it, too.

[@chasinglife6247]

This one of my favorite channels and I will waste an entire day away watching these videos!! I love this channel so much

[@Afrieal]

It's good to see another video from this series.

[@gloriahanes6490]

As a child, I would pick rhubarb from the patch garden in the yard, cover them in sugary sugar and eat until my heart's delight!

[@Toeescape]

I just wanna say as a girl I favorite darker soups with like huge bits of beef and a whole corn

[@allisonshaw9341]

The funniest thing I ever saw was a few years back when we were invited to a dinner in the home of a very wealthy family. The antique "soup tureens" were actually chamber pots - very fancy ones, but chamber pots none the less. I realize that they probably hadn't been used in decades and had been very thoroughly washed, but I just couldn't... I passed on the soup.

[@keyofallworlds7549]

Did you ever tell anyone?😭

[@allisonshaw9341]

@@keyofallworlds7549 Yup, and the looks on their faces were priceless.

[@user-wn6gm7gg2r]

This is the 10th video from this victoria way. I'm now addicted.

[@Cloverleaf42]

Came over from Townsends. Glad I found you guys.

[@bremdamiller3629]

If you haven't seen the BBC farm series you should check it out its like this but more detailed

[@bshepherd6901]

bremda miller Thanks for the recommendation!

[@cecil123]

I thought this was a new Townsend video when I saw the thumb :D

[@SammytheBeak]

Same here!

[@nerdyninjatemptress]

Yay someone else from Townsends!

[@Maki-ns2lv]

I actually started watching this videos because I love the accent and now I watch them because I really enjoy these kind of recipes!

[@omsnaga]

And so spring arrived to us at last in Mrs. Crocombes kitchen!
