Appalachian potato soup is so meaningful to me. I found my family heritage through the Irish Appalachian recipes my grandma made growing up. You just cant buy memories like potato soup and cornbread on a cold winters night.

[@ladywytch129]

It's so odd to me, lol. My grandmother passed away when I was very young. But one of the memories I have of her is breaking pieces of biscuits into potato soup. But I could never get it quite right as an adult. I saw the first video of this and literally started to cry. Because it was the soup I remembered. I've been making it ever since, lol. It may be the most frugal thing I make, but I love it!

[@xtinah6582]

my great grandpa Martin here in KY was second gen Irish American i believe. I didn't know There were Appalachian Irish. thats really cool ❤

[@Pebbles-s7y]

My momma used to make salmon patties with potato soup. Dang I miss her😢

[@monnanugent8168]

Some of my grandkids swore they didn't like onions even though they ate them everytime they ate my spaghetti , chili or taco soup,. Here is what I started doing so they got the flavor without knowing it was onions or peppers. Take a bag of onions and put most of them, peeled, in a food processor. I always save a couple for fresh eating. Chop them up until they become a paste consistency. Take them by scoops and put them in mini muffin tins (I use silicone ones, You can really use any shape or size that suits your needs) and let them freeze. After they are frozen pop them out and put them in a freezer bag. When you want that flavor pull one or two out and throw them in whatever your cooking. You get the flavor without the texture. I do it for bell peppers and sometimes carrots. I like putting carrots in my spaghetti sauce instead of sugar. It offsets the acidity of the tomatoes and it makes it a little sweeter. Plus I like that its a veggie and not plain sugar.

Girl, my favorite thing to do is get up on Suday morning and watching your Sunday Supper videos for ideas. I've been watching several older ones today and just wanted to reach out and give you flowers on the weight loss journal. It's super noticeable, and you are doing amazing! Way to go and keep posting those videos. Love your channel and your family! Happy Sunday!

[@SouthernFrugalMomma]

I LOVE YOU MORE!!

[@KNP143]

Hey, Brooke! Please add your chicken, rice and broccoli crockpot meal to a "favorites" video. I make it SO often and recommend your channel and exceptional tasting recipes to everyone I know. That dish is one of my favorites, (with the mixed rice that doesn't get soggy), to tell people about, but it's so hard to find in all your awesome videos. Please help a mama out, Bestie!! ❤

[@eizabethsmith6358]

I make that chicken casserole but I stuff large shells with chicken and stuffing and pour the cream of chicken soup over the shells

[@JensUniqueNibblesandMore]

😍😋

[@CherylBailey-o1q]

That sounds good too❤

[@sassydontpm]

If you have an egg and some flour, mix it together until it’s pinchable and add to the tater soup and let it cook. They’re rivels and it sure does goes far to make potato soup stick to your ribs. We add onion and celery too.

[@gzkarr3730]

The Poorman's Steak is a blessing indeed!

[@melissakidwell7978]

A little bacon grease would taste good in your tater soup too

We do brown gravy with burger patties & white rice. We cut up the burger patties, add it on top of the rice & smother it in brown gravy. Add some salt & pepper and if you want seasoning go for it. Super cheap, easy and filling!

[@debgersh5555]

@@mckenziemason8061 add a little fried onions and I'm in heaven 😋

[@mckenziemason8061]

@debgersh5555 my dad use to add the onion inside the burger patties but since my kiddos and husband aren't huge onion fans we skip that. But it's really good with onion too!

[@lynabercrombie7139]

I never got to see the first potato soup video and I’ve been looking for a good recipe for potato soup so I’m definitely going to try it. Thanks again. Brooke. May God bless you and keep you and make his face to shine on you and your family in 2025.

[@sage_forensics_2261]

Thank you so much for these recipes, Brooke! I definitely saved them to try soon. BTW, your Chicken Pot Pie Casserole with the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit topping is my new favorite! I even made it for Christmas because it just seemed simpler for me. Also, I've found that subbing in drained canned chicken works well for a more shelf-stable option if you don't have a rotisserie chicken on hand. I've even subbed in Jiffy cornbread thinned out a bit (water or milk) for the RL biscuit mix if needed. There's more than one way to do these things, and they still come out good! Love and blessings to you and yours...🙏💜

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

We use canned chicken in our pot pies often. We save the liquid from from the canned chicken and use it in the places of the recipe calling for water/other liquids in the pie filling for extra chicken flavor.

[@kellylorang6845]

Notice all the recipes are creamy comfort foods? I completely agree with everyone’s ‘vote’ on the most popular (although, to be fair, all of Brooke’s meals look delicious!)😋🤤

[@ksewald91]

I remember my grandma making a simple potato soup back when I was a girl back in the 1960's. Sauteed an onion, added diced potatoes, water, s&p and cooked until tender. Call it Michigan tater soup.

[@kristakeith4430]

I absolutely find it so endearing when your kids call you mommy I love it

[@starrperry6395]

I throw onions in my small food processor and purée them. Great flavor and my onion haters never know.

[@justme5544]

My favorite potato soup was our struggle meal growing up. Much like yours, boil potatoes and onions, when soft add milk, butter, salt & pepper. Done. We didn't "thicken" it. PS: he has trouble now with onion, so I grate it on the grater or microplane. So quick and easy. Happy New Year! 🥳🎉

I love the poor man steaks. I usually use saltine cracker crumbs, egg, parsley flakes, salt and pepper. I cook my patties in a skillet. I smear the mushroom soup on top without diluting with water or milk. Put a lid on it and the mushroom soup makes gravy.

[@nolasurmanek7693]

Those are all good choices! They all look delicious

[@connief5154]

I bought the ground turkey you buy from Walmart. Does your Walmart carry that brand of ground turkey with taco seasoning or in the breakfast sausage or the Italian sausage flavors? I bought them all, but I tell you the taco seasoning one is the absolute best. You don’t need to add anything to it. I brown it up and eat it on a bed of lettuce and it’s the best taco salad. And so cheap. I imagine that the Italian and breakfast sausages will be just as good.

You could add all sorts of things to that chicken casserole to make it "extra" like adding corn or peppers or flavoring the chicken with southwestern flavor and putting sour cream and salsa on it......oh I am soooooooo saving this video! I love all these ideas.

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

Love the idea of making the chicken casserole a southwestern flavor. I wouldn't have thought to do that because my kids won't do cornbread stuffing; my stuffing has to be the chicken/poultry flavor.

[@JulieVanRyen]

I’m new to your channel but learning a lot. Thank you for easy meals you can make on a tight budget. I have to adapt to gluten free. The chicken casserole looks really good and easy to make. Could I substitute the cornbread stuffing for herb gluten free stuffing? They don’t make gluten free cornbread stuffing.

[@LisaMerideth-i8t]

Hello Brooke. I don’t know that you’re old enough to know of a newspaper column “Hints from Heloise” but one hint was if you want husband/family to think you’ve been cooking all day, just sauté some onions. I’m with you, nothing smells so yummy 😋

[@Purple0fairy0bunny]

We do the chicken dumplings but add in a small can of chicken or chicken left overs to add more flavor. We like to freeze diced chicken in small pucks of about 1/4 cup. This allows us to throw in a small amount of meat in any dish that needs it.

[@coolbeans-plantbased707]

I make a similar potato soup and just bought property in the Appalachians a few months ago after living in Florida my entire life. I will definitely have to call it that from now on lol also, we make that chicken casserole as well but we add green beans or peas. Happy new year, Southerland Family!

[@user-hd9qm7td7n]

My mother in law made something she called Tater Dumplings. It was basically potatoe soup with the biscuit dumplings torn up into it. Very filling and inexpensive. She served it with cornbread.

[@yvonnepalmquist8676]

My mom puts egg noodles in her potato soup to make it extra filling. She starts it with a mirepoix (celery, carrot, onion) and only adds salt and butter. I've always been amazed at how creamy, rich and flavorful those simple ingredients are. Yes, she also adds evaporated milk. It's only a few dollars for an entire potful that gives many leftovers.
