Mom's beef stew brings back a lot of memories for me. What is one of your childhood faves?

[@shannentlf]

Flo Lum ABC soup 😆

[@donnastratton8397]

My mom made really good beef stew also. It had a rich tomato broth and that was the part I liked best, the soup.

[@foodtravel9796]

Sopa huevona, also know as Ramen instant cup noodles

[@francesthompson1324]

Vegetable soup:) I think, it had everything from my grandparents garden in it. And chicken and dumplings. That background cello music is soothing;)Thanks for sharing both your meals and Family. Be blessed always.

[@PaullaWells]

Flo Lum my mom too made beef stew which quite different. But I’d have to say her fried pork chops were my fav.

[@chewyjiver2239]

I loved hearing that cello practice in the background. It went with the homeyness of the beef stew---simple, ordinary and delicious video. Thanks.

[@FloLum]

If they only practiced every day 😏

[@FlashOhJoy]

Me too... love it

[@myrddenbebopper3674]

@@FloLum I played cello from 4th through 8th grade (then switched to baritone horn so I could march in the HS band 🙂). Eventually, I got my degree in classical music as a piano player and still, as I approach 70, I play jazz piano with my compatriots. Wow, did the dulcet tones of cello practice take me back! Go, Kids! Well, one downfall for me was that I, too, didn't practice every day. Grrr. I took a tuba with me on a trailer camping trip and practiced in my trailer in a State Park campground. haha Good thing I did! That tuba was new to me and within a month I was playing it in a high-end amateur symphony. My music education served me well for a career in computers, btw. Right out of college, the mainframe company I worked for had a "grow our own software engineer" program looking for students of philosophy (logic!), linguistics, or music. How's that for a twist? Aside: your oh-so-full IP bowl worried me a little bit, but your care in releasing the pressure looks to have handled it perfectly. Good to see thumbs of ginger and not you being sliced up. That soup-stew will be on my list for early in my training up with the new-to-me IP. Sure looks tasty! Cheers, ~~Kris

[@robertosantos7839]

I enjoy your chanel & admire how simply you present yourselves & yet seem so happy that way. I also appreciate that it is a collaborative endeavor of husband & wife! Your mother's stew seems to be a minimalist version of that French "pot au fue(?)". Good luck to your whole family & God bless!

[@jaymartini]

I'm from an hispanic household and we called this caldo. About the same ingredients plus cabbage.

[@supermom_cherry7583]

Thank you for your warmth and joy in simple things of life.

[@Pixlanta]

I adore both your personalities..what a sweet and talented couple. Thank you for such easy and great recipes. I love all the instapot recipes, so awesome..I tried the congee recipe today, my family loved how smooth it was. Thank you ❤️

[@Lauren-ew7tu]

Just wanted to say how much I love your channel. This is one of my very favourite recipes and I have made it many times now! Thanks for all the great recipes!!! ❤️

[@kimdavison9223]

Another book?! Sooooo excited!💖

[@dianacook4095]

That soup is a super comfort food, I am so gonna make some for my family...Love your channel.!!! you are a beautiful warm and friendly people.

[@FloLum]

Super comfort food indeed. Nothing fancy, just goodness. Thanks for the kind words!!

[@TheSalineman]

My granny would cook this style beef soup for lunch. I would walk to her house from school to lunch everyday. My favorite. She raised chickens so beef was a great treat.

[@FloLum]

What a lovely memory!

[@semco72057]

I love the look of that beef stew and it reminds me of when I was a child and my grandmother cooked up meals like that and we children could not wait to get a bowl of it. Dude is so fortunate to have a wife like you to cook the best food and keep him happy and full.

[@FloLum]

He sure is, Sidney! 😉

[@jodunlap2955]

I really believe this recipe will be super gentle on my troublesome tummy. It looks delicious and so soothing on the cooler evenings we’re experiencing now. I can’t wait to make it, Flo. Thx for sharing with us...

[@FloLum]

Yes! We had record breaking cold temps here the other night. Hope you’re well, my friend! ❤️

[@artglue2]

This looks amazing! Love hearing the cello in the background!

[@FloLum]

If only they would practice everyday. 😏

[@mariela8040]

It looks so delicious. It reminded me of something we make in Mexico called “Cocido de res”

[@caytabbi8146]

Ahhhh, perfect comfort food on a cold wintry day.❤

[@michellehurt4107]

I love the live cello music!

[@FloLum]

Thanks, Michelle! You just reminded me that they haven't practiced all weekend!

[@johnnewton3837]

Really enjoy this stew year round. Just smelling the stew makes the day sparkle . Thank you

[@PaullaWells]

ALL: I just made this dish and served it. You cannot go wrong with this recipe. Thanks, Flo's mom and thanks, Flo for sharing!

[@FloLum]

Thanks, Paulla! So glad you liked it! 😘

[@patricianorton3908]

My mum also made a brothy stew. Lots of veggies, seasonings and seared beef, along with water and tenderness of time.No wine and maybe only 1-2 Tbsp flour. I was a full adult before I laid eyes on the gravy type of stew. I remember staring at it thinking it must be some fancy French dish. To this day I prefer either a slightly thicker broth type orrr thinner gravy type. But the beef must not need chewing! Love your videos, Patricia from New Hampshire 👵🏻🤗

[@FloLum]

I love it all! 😉 But have to be in the mood.

[@lindapasquali2670]

I love your videos, Flo! And I can’t WAIT until you have another cookbook! I will definitely be trying this recipe! And thank you for explaining “Ching”. It was very interesting to hear the definition and to see the symbol of the word!

[@FloLum]

Thanks, Linda! I’ve been told that we regress to our first language as we age. Even though I was born here, I didn’t start speaking English until I was 6. I think it’s starting. 😱

[@ronaldpeters3736]

That was exactly like my dad's go to chicken stew that he used to make in a pressure cooker back in the 70's. The video brought back some good memories of my dad Thanks

[@FloLum]

That sounds yummy! Thanks for sharing, Ronald!

[@jerrychong6769]

Good job on reminding us what we grew up on . My mom did medicinal bone broth using deer legs to give us energy and allow us to run and not get tired . Lots of symbolism in Chinese medicine. Nothing like seeing deer hoofs poking out if the top of the stockpot. As Chinese moms would say " it's good for your insides "

[@FloLum]

Yep. Although I don’t ever remember seeing them in our soup, I do remember seeing them in the Chinese herbal shops.

[@yvonnetan8478]

Wow, I'm chinese but my parents don't cook, which is why I'm on youtube searching for chinese recipes. I love chinese soups -- healthy and qing. Low-calorie yet sooo satisfying. Could you do more recipes for such soups? And also for one-pot type of recipes like this one?

[@nancywatrud7751]

My mom made her traditional beef soup like this (minus the ginger). She also added flat noodles.

[@lenalira9471]

Thank you for this recipe. I have been looking for one like this for awhile. My mom made her beef vegetable soup like this too .

[@asianboy3333]

Yummy ! I wanna try it this evening. Thanks Flo !

[@laurawang8040]

I remembered my mom making this too! I now make this because I moved too far to stop by to enjoy her cooking.

[@FloLum]

So nostalgic!

[@TheJohnC2010]

Love the music in the background

[@aynot321]

That looks really good and filling yet simple. I think I'll make this tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.💕

[@wwsuwannee7993]

This is brilliant. I do not have an electric pressure cooker, just a stove top type, but I will be making this anyway. It is outstanding that the broth came out clear. Thanks for the video Flo Lum.

[@FloLum]

Great! You’ll just need to bring it to a boil and then let it simmer for a few hours.

[@hannahd5542]

I enjoy watching videos, also enjoy and can’t wait to watch Dude’s taste test! No other cooking videos or channel can beat your tandem! Thanks for sharing!

[@scoschmac]

Made it tonight - and just as it was ready, the rain started... :) I love soup, and this one is on the list now - so simple and delicious... Keep up the good work, guys!

[@FloLum]

Thanks so much, Scott! So glad you enjoyed it... especially yummy on cold wet days!

[@allykatt6207]

Watching from TN! Love your recipes and the chemistry between you and the hubby "Dude"! And by the way, enjoyed the cello in the background!

[@FloLum]

That’s so kind! Thank you!

[@PaullaWells]

Thanks, Flo! It’s chilly here today so I think I’ll make this for my husband. Yum!

[@FloLum]

Hope you enjoy it, Paulla! 😘

[@PaullaWells]

Looks so good. He just picked up riblettes. With a bone should I increase the cook time?

[@FloLum]

No need to increase the time. Should be extra yummy!

[@PaullaWells]

You are correct. I did not change the cook time. Hubby loved it and I found it super tasty. I only changed one thing which Dude would love. I added dried habanero to mine to increase the heat kick. So yummy!! Thanks again!

[@krispea10]

Will be giving this a try as I am a fan of anything with ginger lately. Intrigued by the consistency of the stew, so different than what I was raised on. But different is good. Everything I've tried from your videos has been outstanding. Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes and food ideas.

[@FloLum]

Thanks, Kristine! I hope you enjoy it!

[@lynardok6654]

Oh this looks great! Dad loves ginger and tomorrow is going to be chilly so this will be a fun one to try. Thanks!!

[@FloLum]

Excellent! Ginger is great at heating up our insides.

[@lynardok6654]

Oh thats good to know too - he is 88 and is always cold. maybe this will help him warm up from the inside out! Thanks!

[@FloLum]

This should help! When I’m sick with a cough, I really like drinking hot honey and ginger water with a pinch of salt. It might be something your dad might enjoy. Boil a few slices of ginger in some water., dissolve honey (as much as he’d like) and add a pinch of salt.

[@lynardok6654]

Flo Lum oh wow - Thank you! I am trying to find new things for him to drink. Always a challenge to keep him hydrated. This will be another good one to try. Blessings

[@susanmorelli4519]

Love this light frothy Mom's stew/soup and Flo I love your laugh. Enjoyed the background cello too. 💕🍁

[@FloLum]

Aw... thanks so much, Susan! Great to hear from you. Hope you are well.

[@richardcole2893]

Looks good. Has the consistency of Pho, also a nice flavor.

[@jmleeinla]

Buying your cookbook!!! So excited to try all of your recipes. My husband is Cantonese as well and he’s looking forward to all these yummy dishes! Yay instant pot right?

[@groth1m]

This recipe looks wonderful and I am looking forward to trying it. I think the cellos from your children practicing was a nice touch to the video. I know it wasn't intentional, but it was nice.

[@FloLum]

Aw... thanks! Sometimes we have to film when they are home and sometimes it’s during cello practice (when they actually practice!)

[@beccadallas]

Please tell your kiddos I very much enjoyed their music. Beautiful!

[@FloLum]

They will be thrilled to hear that! Thank you! Now... if only I can get them to practice daily.

[@chanelbarbie]

I bought my insta pot because if you guys!!! Love you and your receipts!!!

[@FloLum]

Thanks, Rhonda!

That’s great! So glad you are enjoying the recipe book and yes... working on the next one! 😉

[@sylviacrawford7195]

Decided to make this now. BTW throughout the video the music was getting better and better. Keep practicing I enjoyed the background music. 🤗

[@jean-pierrefritz3860]

Great idea using the spoon for the steam release. Thanks for this

[@FloLum]

Happy to help!

[@PEPSIKERR]

Oh Yum. I will have to try this when it's a little cooler. Thanks for the video.

[@FloLum]

We had record breaking cold here!

[@sashap5238]

This is like a great French beef pot au feu. Thanks! Swap garlic in lieu of ginger and I would serve with cornichons, grainy mustard, and Maldon salt on the side. Great fall meal. Will try it this weekend.

[@FloLum]

Way to make it your own! Let me know how it goes.

[@montsegar.-gonz.3302]

Thank you for this comfort food recipe. Hier in Germany is time of soups and stews. I will cook this recipe! Greats from Europe

Great! It’s starting to get cold here as well.

[@sylviacrawford7195]

Sooo good looking stew/soup

[@jinfeldman7573]

Yes - Cantonese moms always made tong daily! Totally bone broth! They are so good. I still can't make it quite the same. My mom makes this with tomatoes and I don't like it...but I might try this one. Thanks for sharing!

[@gaylemcgee2221]

My Mum used to make chicken and dumplings a lot. It was one of my faves. Flo, I'll be getting my 8 qt Pot Saturday and I cannot wait to use it. Winter is approaching and I want to make soups and I'd like to try to make Pho!?! We'll see! Have you made Pho? Thx for the video.

[@FloLum]

Enjoy the new IP! I've made Pho Ga (chicken pho)! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f56cY4KKaNKIjcU

[@sherylbentick8085]

I have a beef bourguignon style stew that I do in the pressure cooker (I add in a little miso paste & some Worcestershire sauce for some extra umami) which has become a family favorite but from my childhood - curried sausages 😂😂, not exactly haute cuisine but it is so comforting to eat (& even better the next day!)

[@FloLum]

Comfort food is where it’s at!

[@LisaMarli]

Oh yum. My grandma made a similar soup. But she was from Eastern Europe, so no ginger, but a bit a fresh herbs. The ginger sounds good though. She did the same thing with chicken, since beef could be too expensive. I like the using the Instant Pot. Because Grandma's cooked for 3 hours. And Grandma had 2 pressure cookers. One about 6 qt and the big canning pressure cooker. But she never used them for soup.

[@FloLum]

Simple food brings great comfort in all cultures, I think.

[@larrygilbert2853]

With cold weather upon us here in the Midwest, this dish would be a welcome dinner. So good to see both of you again. Where can I purchase your cookbook, Flo?

I make something like this with ox tails and cabbage. We call it cauldo in Spanish. Ox tails require quite of bit of cleaning during the process, so I may have to try doing this instead.

[@88poohbear22]

I totally understand.....grew up drinking lots of bone broth before it was an "in" thing. My mother swears that ginger is the ancient Chinese secret that makes everything great. This is something I would like to try....kinda like a "ching tong" and maybe add some noodles and make it a meal!

[@FloLum]

Yes... ginger is supposed to heal our insides. We have it with rice and it’s just so yummy!

Awesome video and looks amazing!! So just to clarify... 35 minutes in the pressure cooker then 35 minutes to cook and another 30 minutes left in it? So approximately a total of 1 1/2 hours?

Yes... still less time than on the stove.

Hi , Flo. In Norway , we call it for Meat-soup .( In Norwegian : Kjøttsuppe ) And it was sunday-dinner , my mom left it on the stove for slow-cooking 3-5 hours when we was out on ski or by foot . It taste NamNam :-) Keep on cooking :-)

[@beverlyhelix8020]

Great easy recipe!

[@reakelly9795]

just got my IP Ultra; controls are a tad different than yours, so I'll watch for that. Can't wait to try this beef soup/stew. I love your videos and your dry, Canadian humour. I think one would be nuts to try to use their Instant Pot without referring to Flo Lum's Channel. I am considering my first instant pot meal. I also liked your Costco traps video; truth!

[@FloLum]

There are too many models now, I can’t keep up! So glad you enjoy our humour and are enjoying the channel! 😊

[@dansalas399]

Thank you for sharing this recipe! My Mom made this similar dish but she also would add cabbage which I love a lot. Some days, she would also add plantains which gives the broth a slightly sweeter flavor but they combine well with a nice serving of rice. I love a generous amount of the broth on the rice.. such great comfort food! Question for you.. is there a benefit to placing the meat on top of the veggies? We just got our Instant Pot, so I think I’ll make this dish first.! Thanks again and you guys do an awesome job!

[@FloLum]

I don't think so. I just didn't want the meat to stick to the bottom, just in case. Hope you enjoy it!

[@joshuamidgette4846]

Reminds me of Mrs Grass Beef Stew Mix. I cooked it with the potato slices and frozen veggies. Can't buy that mix any longer where I am but would love to know what the spices and amounts thereof were.

[@nickbakal1815]

Looks great

[@brandio7986]

This looks so good. Makes my mouth water. Only problem is I can't eat it :( we stopped eating beef prolly almost 2 years ago. Would have lived this when we did tho yummy!!!!

[@FloLum]

It's probably a good idea but we love it so much!

[@chris.p88]

Hello I'm new to the Instant Pot and newly subscribed to your wonderful channel. I'm wondering, since I'm cooking for one, if I halve the recipe , how do I adjust the time accordingly? Also usually I see pressure cooking recipes usually call for cooking the meat first then the veggies for the last 10 minutes or so. Don't the vegetables get too soggy after 30 minutes high pressure? Thanks I will do this recipe tomorrow! Chris from Montreal

[@FloLum]

Welcome! I don’t like having to add ingredients at different times because it takes time to depressurize and then time to bring back up to pressure again. For this particular recipe, I had also had it too full so releasing the pressure in the middle of cooking would have been nightmarish and we don’t want that. So, I purposely cut up my vegetables into large chunks. If you watched until the end, you will see the texture of the veggies during the taste segment. As for the the time of recipes when you cut a recipe in half depends on what you’re cooking. For this recipe, I would not change the cook time because it still takes 35 mins to make the meat soft. Hope that helps.

[@chris.p88]

Thanks for the reply! Just wanted to follow up and let you know that I did the recipe but halved it but kept the 30 minutes high pressure per your suggestion and everything came out perfect!

[@FloLum]

Awesome!

[@donnamikasa]

Oh, I can't wait to make this when the weather gets cooler. (And are those bowls from Costco?)

[@FloLum]

Yes! I got those bowls at Costco! Only $14.99 for set of 4. I had seen them for sale individually for $16 each!!!

[@craign7995]

My mom used to make something similar, when I was a kid, in an old fashion pressure cooker (scary). One day, as I was about to eat what I thought was a potato, I asked her what type potato was in the stew. She said it was a new kind and try it. I took one bite and spit it out. She was laughing. I asked what it was and she said, "Daikon!" and continued laughing. I never ate anything potato or potato "like" in her stew. Thanks for the reminder Flo! :/ LoL

[@FloLum]

😂🤣 Oh, that’s hilarious! I love daikon but only because I know it’s daikon. I totally understand the shock if you thought it was a potato. Thanks for making my day, Craig!
