Our Favorite "Weird Green Soup" (Vegan Vegetable Bean Soup From Eat To Live Cookbook)

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Make sure you read the blog BEFORE you make this for important info: bit.ly/KrockSoup This is our second recipe video EVER and we definitely forgot to point out a couple of key things 😂 If you use DRY beans, they need to be cooked prior to putting in. Also I would recommend you make a single batch first to find the flavors YOU like best before doing the batch cook!

[@caligirl0626]

Just discovered you guys and have been binge watching all your videos! You have done a great job with your videos and love your down to earth style! I have been plant based for almost four years now and reversed my diabetes after losing over fifty pounds. I am always looking for new you tubers and your channel will be one I recommend going forward. 😎

[@anitabeebe1]

I have recently discovered your videos and just love them! There's not a lot of nutritarian-how to make it work-videos, and I so appreciate your hard work at putting these together!! You guys are looking amazing, too!!

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Thank you very much! We are glad you discovered us! We are just trying to show our journey to others like us. Hopefully, we help some folks out along the way. 😀 -Brian

[@chloeserenity]

XD Jessica: "I'm Brian." Brian: "and I'm Jessica." I love it! You two are great.

[@cindychurch925]

I made this tonight. Omg. It was so good. I had to tweek it a little. Wal-Mart did not have carrot juice. I had a small package of baby carrots and 2 parsnips and 6 baby potatoes already steamed earlier today. I added that to the partially frozen sweet corn package in my Vitamix. Some nutritional yeast, dill, onion powder, garlic powder, dried habanero peppers, and minced garlic. A bit of water and . .bam. You all are brilliant. It even tasted good cold. But then, I added a box of strained tomatoes. It turned into delicious creamy tomato soup! But, i added the frozen veggies packages you mentioned. And frozen cut okra. It is DELICIOUS and filling. Thank you so much

[@gracepariti6226]

You guys, always have me cracking up!! Love the video, keep up the good work😁💕

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Grace Wood Awww thanks 🥰 Brian worked really hard on this one! I kept telling him it wasn’t right and giving him a hard time 😬 🤣 so he kept making edits 🙃 Thanks for watching!

[@CompostWatcher]

This was fun. Thanks y’all.

[@sarahhardy4627]

Hello from the UK! I have just come across your videos. They are great to watch. Thank you! All the best to Jessica as she goes through treatment x

[@corgimom1626]

Made this tonight for dinner and my husband loved it. He now wants me to make more of your recipes. Thanks for sharing

[@SarahInfiniTakagi]

You two are So adorable, and this is a super positive, fun, and professionally made videos. So impressive! I love your lifestyle, who knows, I'm slowly but surely being "converted" because of your channel. I love your hastags, AND I love your music!!

[@le6094]

Just a little fun fact. The california blend is called emperors vegetables here in Germany.

[@lauramoney5269]

LE It’s called Winter Mix in Australia!

[@MsOldmom]

I am so glad I found you guys. You have helped me as I was transitioning to veggie life.

[@future.homesteader]

Ball has both pint (16 oz) and pint & 1/2 (24 oz) straight sided, wide mouth can or freeze jars that would be great to freeze the soup in. Guessing from the bowl size of your single servings they're somewhere between 16-24 oz anyway & the ball jars would take less space in the freezer than the big mixing bowl.

[@aleecedawson8110]

These are what I use especially because I am the only one eating these soups.

[@prizantsproducts4u]

Also you can "Hot Pack" can the soup in pint (or quart) canning jars to take to work, and the lids seal so keeps in your fridge until you open it - then you want to use it within the week.

[@rockyridge7667]

I just stumbled on your videos, I love them.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Thank you very much! 😀

[@newgtguy]

[@rebeccaweatherford2278]

love love love this video and all of your videos. Keep them coming. Can't wait to try this soup.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Thank you! This one was a bit of a learning curve for us and took a lot more time filming and editing so we really appreciate it ❤️ Let us know if you try it out!

[@prizantsproducts4u]

You can make the corn carrot sauce and add everything to the "I" Pot including the dry beans and cook it all for 1 hour. Vio la! Soup! That is what I do, very easy and saves a pot to wash.

[@DrJeannieB]

oh wow! love this - ONE WHAT SETTING? quick release or slow?

[@chrissyrozelle2167]

I made this soup today and it is DELICIOUS!!! I used the spices they recommend (sans the cayenne pepper, because I don’t have any on hand). I’m glad it made a big pot. I am going to try putting this on top of a baked potato too!

[@sobellabg804]

All blenders should sound like smooth jazz. This soup sounds really good. Reminds me oddly enough of my ‘kitchen sink’ pasta fagioli because of all the extra stuff in it.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

If only good music played whenever there was a terrible noise going on. The world would be a much better place. 😀

[@Healtheliving]

Wow! Just made this soup. Loved it! It's incredible! Thanks for sharing your recipe.

[@sandracarli1110]

I tried it (I made just one pot) and it was very good, thank you so much!

[@wishingb5859]

Love the smooth jazz. The corn milk and carrot juice is interesting. I will be trying this. Gotta love frozen vegetables.

[@ginanjobarahesq.5942]

I love batch cooking. I'm going to try this!

[@pattiraithel5412]

Soup looks so good and your pots and dishes are sparkling clean. Great video.

[@fleurmp3820]

Looks like a great recipe. I love that you double the recipe and freeze half - great idea! You guys are super inspiring x

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Thank you very much! This recipe is one of our favorites to make. It helped us along quite a bit. Also, batch cooking was a life saver for us. It is so much easier to just cook everything on one day and eat it for the rest of the week.

[@KCallaAK]

Don't know how I missed this video! Thanks for a GREAT soup idea.

[@suecollins5174]

Love, love, love your videos! You are very inspiring!!!

[@JanetCaterina]

I love you guys! Your experience with eating potatoes and losing weight really inspired me. I have been unhappy with my diet for years, as it seems too complex, there are so many types of food available and I wanted to simplify. But I have been unable to get myself back onto a vegetarian diet for some time, got caught up in eating by impulse and just getting fatter and less mobile as a result. I gave up eating breakfast and dinner and started exercising one to two hours a day, but it was still not enough. When I knew that it was okay to eat only potatoes as a meal, I was able to switch quite easily to teaming up other vegetables with the potatoes and have stuck with salad and potatoes ever since. I am writing a recipe book as a result, feel very excited with this breakthrough.

[@jixuancheng]

Delicious! Thank you.

[@vgvg4805]

Been eating this for like a week now thanks its delicious

[@SteveSmekar-ll6ln]

Imagine how this would be with fresh veggies! Good job, you two.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Thank you very much! 😀 Let us know if you like it!

I have never heard of a diet like you are doing YOU 2 ARE DOING GREAT AND LOVE WATCHING YOU 2 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR YUMMY DELICIOUS RECIPES

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Thank you :) We have loved our whole food plant based diet!

[@austintsulilohi]

Oooo I'm gonna make this next week! Looks so delicious!

[@debrawilson333]

You can also use cooked split peas as a base as well. It thickens the soup and makes it taste great. Use a dicer to dice carrots, onions, garlic, celery, tomatoes. Saute in water or veggie broth. Pulse in a food processor and add to the split pea base. Then add your veggies like cauliflower, broccoli, spinach or swiss chard. Simmer until all flavors and veggies are cooked. You can also add small macacroni or cubed potatoes.

[@ahbengsoixanteneuf2173]

Great job, congrats! I came back from my Primary Care physician earlier today, who is a proponent of eating a plant-based diet. I finally realized: it's important to keep a beginner's mindset when starting something new, else your brain will sabotage everything before you even begin. My doc called it "analysis paralysis" and I think she's right. So I started Googling for recipes and found your inspiring story! If I may suggest something new for you to try? You don't have to of course, but I've had amazing success with it and I'm doing a plant-based diet to push my health even further into the positive. Intermittent Fasting. :-) From mid-January 2018 to April 2018 I went from 100 kg (220 lbs) to 72 kg (159 lbs) - a loss of 28 kg (61 lbs) without exercise and without changing what I ate. All I did was stop eating at 8pm and fasting until 12pm the next day. Obviously this was not a 100% success. I looked and felt great, but my blood pressure and cholesterol were still awful - hence my starting a plant-based diet today! But this might work very well with your nutritarian diet. In either case, I'd be happy to let you know how nutritarian + fasting work together! (And a little light running thrown in - to boost my heart and lung health.)

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

Thanks for watching! So glad you found us! We have really enjoyed the switch to whole food plant-based. It can be overwhelming when you first start, but if you stick with it, it becomes easy and intuitive. Congrats on the weight loss! We have seen others finding success with intermittent fasting. Very interested to see how you progress combining that with the plant-based diet, so please keep us updated. I usually eat dinner around 7pm and have breakfast around 10am, but I have thought about trying to stretch that time out a bit longer between. We do avoid snacking in between meals, which I believe helps a lot. I actually get less hungry if I don't snack. The moment I grab a snack between lunch and dinner, I feel MORE hungry. Thanks for writing and can't wait to hear how it goes for you.

[@pammccoy4331]

I might try this in my 8 quart instant pot. Looks yummy.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

The instant pot is an incredible device. Let us know how it turns out if you pressure cook the soup. It would be interesting to find out if the texture changes at all. 😊 -Brian

[@barrbuff]

I love this idea, so easy! Definitely going to try. I think you should do it in the ipot!

[@marjiesgirl]

That looks really delicious.

[@kaiducoeur9932]

Nice! One of the first soups I made when I finally learned to cook used corn and carrots as the base (plus broth) -- it's a great start to most any soup.

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

That it is! 😁

[@marysusa6985]

Just made this soup again and it came out even better this time. Love your channel and I have been asking myself "would the Krocks eat this?" before i buy anything in the grocery store. It makes my decision so much easier. Thanks for all your great videos. Love you both!

This is a perfect way to sneak veggies into the diet when your learning to like them. I may use an immersion blender to disguise the veg.

Have you bought the How Not to Die cookbook? Love that one. I would use fresh veg to cut down on some of that plastic wrapping. Also I'd freeze it in individual portions rather than a big bowl. xx

[@KrocksInTheKitchen]

That book is next on our list! 😀 We usually store it in both individual bowls and the big bowl. We just don't have the bowls to portion out everything for the two of us for each week. 😀 -Brian

Improvised because I didn’t have carrot juice.... I blended cooked carrots with coconut water. Great base soup for whatever you have around. Thank you! Yummy 😋

That’s a great idea. Thanks for that! We can’t get carrot juice here where I live either.

[@mikimisteinberg4016]

I like filling soup and this is definitely a filling soup! I assume u choose all the frozen veggies because u both work and it is easier to have them readily available rather than finding fresh veggies and then chopping.... I live in Israel. Not all these frozen veggies are as available in the supermarkets near me. However I can definitely fool around w the ingredients to make a soup that will be about 1/10th as yummy as yours, lol; I gotta work w what's available to me. I also am not working anymore. Thanks guys.

[@plantplottersparadise4005]

I would serve with a grain . If u wanna make it look pretty, serve in a pretty dish with some parsley or any herb on top and maybe a few seeds .

frozen veg reheated on stove, then chilled in fridge, then reheated one more before serving might be too mushy compared to fresh, but i love your creamy carrot juice broth concept, i'd juice some ginger too to complex the flavor backnotes
