This is the BEST SOUP I May Have Ever Made! | Pantry Minestrone, QUICK 30 Minute Rolls

[@brianandtamiolson2330]

I am so hooked on Little Mountain Ranch content. You are the sweetest lady ever. I have learned so much from you even though I’m not a homesteader. I started making bread and it’s fun and really good. Gardening brings us all together and I look forward to the future of LMR.

[@CindyBradshaw-d9l]

My mom had a can opener just like that! I kept it of course! I'm in my 60's and remember it alllll my life and never have seen anyone else you one besides you!

[@nancyalberghini7581]

Chelsey you can purchase another seal for your instant pot to use for other uses. I bought two extra and they come in handy.

[@ruthpatke3588]

They come in different colors to keep you using correct seal for your yogurt. They are very easy to switch.

[@sarahtrew9331]

I have them in different colours for different foods so I know which is which 😊

[@dorothyyoung8231]

Yep, many of us have two or three rings for different sorts of food.

[@abe5849]

I’m new to the Instant Pot and I appreciate this information on the seals-thank you!

[@calichrist1790]

I remove my seal when doing yogurt, the seal isn’t necessary for yogurt since it’s not pressure cooking. It comes out fine!

[@lynsmith2698]

Stay warm this week when -40 arrives. I see more soup in our future this week. Great video. 🌷🇨🇦

[@kevinknight470]

My Father would have Loved You Chelsey because of the Rolls. He said He ate rhe other Food to get the Bread. He Loved fresh baked Bread. Your Family is so Blessed because of Your prep Skills with Food. God bless You and Your Family. 😃

[@redgingerbreadpam]

I always enjoy hanging out with you in your kitchen or anywhere on the ranch. I hate when the time ends. ❤️ Soup & bread looks amazing!

[@karenthomas1456]

It's like hanging out in the kitchen with a friend. x

[@marvona3531]

Thanks for sharing. Stay strong and healthy!!!

[@SocksnGreys]

One way to push that minestrone even further into deliciousness is to toss a piece of Parmesan rind into it while it's cooking. Since the rind is too hard to grate easily, it's generally a waste product, but this allows some of that lovely umami flavor to infuse the soup. Fish it out once the soup is done, as it's not very tasty to bite into!

[@anounimouse]

LV to see you using the 'Maudie's Squash Scooper' - we sent it - unless you also rec'd another one from someone else...

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you! I just love it!♥️

[@sandralafond3818]

Please tell us where we can find them. I need this!

[@sandralafond3818]

I just found them on a site called maineshakers

[@melindarains3130]

Same with the colds over here.

[@sukeyfrugalfrau]

Moderation is good especially when you have children. Soup looks great.

[@ShesInLosAngeles]

Fortunately, no one I know has a cold but I’m back to masking when in crowds. Soup looks yummy.

[@wendyarthur8638]

I have multiple seals for my Instant Pot. Red is eggs, blue yogurt, white for soups or stock and clear for anything else. I bought these off of Amazon if you’re interested.

[@bexhansen]

Mouth watering! 😋😋😋😋😋😋

[@kellyhawes9293]

I am SO HAPPY to see you use the " Maudies Super Squash Scooper"! And I'm glad that you love it, I really hoped you would find it as cool as I did ❤

[@sukeyfrugalfrau]

Mine broke on the first use… I have gone back to the sturdy steel spoon. I made from from a canning lid… with a nice wooden handle, super easy project. I broke that one too. I might get some better steel, cut with a torch or pound it in a forge (need to build that ) harden it for a truly sturdy tool.

[@meganknorr]

I am loosely following along with the pantry challenge. I don't have a milk cow or chickens for those dairy items. But it is extremely satisfying to cook from scratch a nourishing meal from the pantry preserves, garden produce that has been preserved and the freezer items. I also have freeze dried my herbs and there is no comparison to dehydrated. Nothing like your own food security. :)

[@gailrittenhouse2997]

Cabinets look great

[@williej3831]

Soil and buns look wonderful but the kitten stole my heart 😻

[@angelacollins1343]

We had an Alex kitty, such a sweet girl. Her nicknames evolved over the 18 years she was our pet from Alex, to Allie to Alligator to finally Gator.

[@sherismith1882]

YES to the cold issue!!!

[@cathyorth7457]

Thank you for sharing! I never get tired of your channel. You are a plethora of information and inspiration! 😊

[@LittleMountainRanch]

You are so welcome! Thank you!

[@Myverydoglife]

From Toronto, and we too have been cycling through colds and flu for about three months, seems to be never ending.

[@marvona3531]

Get well 🌺👍🌺👍🌺👍

[@belieftransformation]

For yogurt in the Instant pot, I take the silicone gasket out because it doesn’t need to seal. I followed someone on KZbin who did the same. Thanks for the inspiration for the minestrone soup & buns. They looked delicious! Seems the warm winter here in Alberta has encouraged more flus & cold, too. Now we’re in a deep freeze this week of -20’s at night! 🥶 Blessings to all 🤗💕🇨🇦

[@shirley7137]

Noted what bugs there are going around are much more contagious and intense this year. Your dinner looks wonderful

[@chereecroft4673]

Yes we have noticed more colds, in fact I had a bad cold in October and then again in December

[@mybeautifullifewithhuskys1101]

I’ll watch that kitty all day long lol

[@bkodra]

I bought a new old stock one from eBay for not a lot of money. Love it!

[@karenthomas1456]

Alex is completely adorable. 😍

[@GeorgiasGarden]

It was so good because it came from veggies you grew and or canned from your garden. 😊

[@augustasimone9323]

For the pesky cough I recommend boiling a mug of water and add a few shakes of Turmeric powder and Fresh cracked black pepper. You can add juice of half fresh lemon stir and sip . You can add honey if you like. I call it Spicy hot lemonade. 2nd, Before bedtime Mince up a clove of qarlic per person then Leave out on the counter for 15 min to develop the medicinal qualities. Then put it into a tiny shot glass ( size), add juice of 1/2 lemon ( no seeds) and 1-2 Tbsp of Olive oil . Then mix and swallow all. This will work all night as you sleep. I have found the the Yogi brand Elderberry Lemonbalm or plan lemonbalm very helpful to calm the sinuses and very relaxing to be able to get restorative sleep. You can add honey to the tea if you like. I also have found the Herbal Berry flavored Zinc Cough drops to help a lot but they ruin your taste buds for tasting food. But good to suck on again before bed and then brush teeth. I caught a wicked head cold a month ago and I took Oregano oil capsules during the day with Emergenc C etc. It worked great in shortening the duraition to 4 days. Hope everyone makes a quick recovery. No Dairy ! as that seems to feed coughs. So skip all Ice cream, cheese, milk and yogurt eating till after everyone is 100%. I love your soups !

[@ann-utah1495]

I just found you and I’m a fan!!! What an inspiration you are … Also I just watched your video where u explained about your tattoo the spelling and how your dad couldn’t spell…what a tender mercy that was… SO meaningful.. I had chills hearing the beautiful story !! Thank you for your calm voice and peaceful manner you have with everyone including your animals 💚😇

[@anitamalan2986]

Love your videos. All the way from Kakamas in South Africa on the Namibian border. I love canning 😊. You are so inspiring.xx

[@lust8505]

It sounds wonderful. Can almost smell it. Did you forget the oregano? Minestrone needs oregano😊! I love how passionate you are about your garden harvest. It has got to feel so rewarding.

[@NicoleHoltActress]

I love soups during the winter time! I can only imagine how delicious it smells. I think I'll make soup tonight, too. I like to add either potatoes or rice or pasta to give it a bit more body. I'm new to gardening and canning and I also get super excited when I use what's already on my shelf. Everything that will go into the soup is already canned or freeze-dried in my house. Looking forward to tossing it all together tonight and have it hot and ready when hubby gets off work.

[@robingirven4570]

Yum! Hope your family gets all healed up and stays that way. Goodness, poor things. That soup should fix them right up.

[@kathleenroberts7972]

I have been in bed 10 days with the flu type A and bronchitis as a secondary infection. I agree with this being a bad year. Even Europe is experiencing it, almost like covid but different. Wishing you all well.

[@sandralafond3818]

Feel better!

[@marvona3531]

Drink tea from Salvia officinalis with a slice of citrus and maybe one teaspoon of good honey👍 Since I‘ve using a great productsystem made in Germany, I‘m healthy and my colleagues are ill. Stay healthy and get well soon👍

[@MVbailegardens]

Same here with cold and flu. They hit us all and hit hard. Folks in the area, same complaints.

[@evelynmcleod268]

I’m in Squamish on the west coast and I got the cough/respiratory/flu for the last month. Couldn’t do family Christmas, haven’t seen my father in long term care for a month…..it’s been really bad in our community too! Hope you’re all feeling better soon 💜

[@triciar6903]

I’m in Australia, living in the north in the tropics and I’m currently right now sick with the summer flu. The summer flu is the worst. Although, I guess you could say that it’s no different to other flus here cause we only have bout 4 weeks of winter and then it’s hot the rest of the year.

[@camicri4263]

The soup and buns look delicious! Chelsea, I hope you all get better soon 🙏❤ Blessings

[@billierichter1379]

My husband got me one of those lid lifters for Christmas. I absolutely love it!

[@radmilamiljanic5977]

Oh yes, even here half way across the world everyone is coughing, colds are in their full swing. People say that happens when winter is too warm. Personally, the only thing I could eat was soup, and a light clear one, almost clear broth. That brought some life back into me:))

[@SusanAllen-u8b]

Love watching your channel, your voice is very easy to listen to. Hi from sunny Coffs Harbour, Australia 😊

[@jeffreydye181]

Soup looks amazing!! Warm rolls can’t beat that. We are getting winter weather here,that meal would be perfect.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I agree about not stressing about a little sugar. You feed your family healthy food regularly, a few treats won’t hurt. I love the way you cook, so balanced.

[@faithopeloveful]

I have been making yogurt every week for many years and just a couple months ago I started just making with raw milk without heating and it works. I do always throw in some half and half to thicken it. I will admit I bought the Luvelle yogurt maker here in Canada. A little pricey but you can set your temps and time and I always set for 100F. Not one failed batch. I am going to try that soup!

[@denisemusicnut]

You can also make yogurt in your dehydrator.

[@lindahansen9395]

That was a fun video. Thanks. The soup sounds and looks delicious. Hope everyone gets well in your household soon.

[@BrendaSchaefer-i2n]

I find heating milk for yogurt in a big pot then put in quart jars until cool before adding tablespoon of yogurt much easier than insta pot because I make large batches.

[@danoneill2846]

I have a PB & J with my home made Veg Beef Soup !

[@islandveggie]

When cooking beans I usually add a bit of dulse. Supposed to help with digestion. I love minestrone. Yum

[@islandveggie]

Also, I frequently add puréed pumpkin to soups and stews and chili. Delish!

[@oldnanz]

I got my jar opener from eBay they also had it on Etsy.

[@janeweldon8874]

I would love a bowl of that soup and one of those fluffy biscuits, they look delicious! ❤

[@johnensminger7675]

When does Cook book #2 come out!?😊

[@leslieforetich7393]

Yum! Love soup esp with all the veg!

[@elizabethbell1789]

Hi! I don't use the seal to make yogurt. Just set a regular glass lid on top :)

[@kariwebb5523]

Chelsea the soup and buns look delicious!! The kitten is so cute. I love your videos.

[@janisgriffin7278]

Well wishes for the Family❣️🤗🙏🏼Soup looks delicious ❣️

[@karencroft1322]

When I do sprouts I use cheese cloth and that works great I also have been doing my Alfalfa sprouts like that for years 🇨🇦😋

[@MadelynFenu]

I'm Italian descent. Our parents and grands would have used lard!

[@vickiwestlund7777]

Thank again Chelsea! I freeze dried minestrone soup last year! Rehydrates well!

[@natalieparisien7460]

Love your inspiration cooking videos! Thank you for sharing 🥰

[@agathareimer2924]

Lots of colds in Alberta too. Hitting -40 this week yet. Lots of snow today. I'm hoping the colds will freeze away during this cold snap.

[@kaybusby7507]

The soup and buns look delicious. I'm going to make beef stew tomorrow made bread yesterday. We have 8 inches of snow in Kansas with more to come. Thank you for sharing.

[@canadiangirl5159]

It's the warmer weather. Lots of bugs this fall and right into Christmas here too. But now that the cold weather has finally arrived, we should see less sickness. Until it starts to warm up again in the spring.

[@danielleosentoski520]

Yes the beginning of October here too! Keeps cycling through.. I’m just praying we miss the tummy bug

[@quilterjanet]

Oh Chelsea, they make the silicone rings for the instant pot in different colors so you can always say 'xyz' color is always used for dairy, etc.

[@amandar7719]

I find that getting the final skin off homegrown onions is often fiddly yet skins on store bought onions are easily removed 🤷‍♀️ Love your videos! 😃

[@Krisu1993]

Thank you those advice how to create own squash soup ❤

[@darienhemmerlein7543]

Thank you for this recipe! 🤗 I have so much squash! Didn't know how I was going to use it all. I actually remove my sealing ring when making yogurt in the instant pot so the flavors don't mix and as it doesn't need to seal for yogurt

[@countryinthecity3736]

Yum!!! It all looks delicious

[@teresatrump8366]

I love squash too.

[@maryfroese7388]

Yes I have noticed that colds are way more this year. Soup looks delicious!

[@michellebarbour5777]

In the UK, we have about 500 hospitalistions per day for Covid 19. We're not testing anymore in the community but, sadly, it hasn't gone away over here. We are told 'stay at home with a cough or cold'. Don't know about where you are?

[@carolkantner1770]

Winter soups are so warming..I love them.

[@michelea9142]

Nice soup. Making chicken kale soup for supper. It was -6° c this morning in AZ. Beautiful sunshine but chilly for us.😊

[@yvonnekuhn9390]

You do the most amazing breads. I so envy your bread making skills. My mom (rest her soul) was an amzing baker. Kudo's, Chelsea on your wonderful cooking from scratch. And your vegetable soup was beautiful. My sister has me make minestrone soup when I travel to visit her. However, to be true Minestrone soup requires little pasta's added to it. I've found adding it into the cooking soup makes it mushy. I love to precook the little salad macaroni, drain and then put in a bowl and dribble garlic infused olive oil over it and stir. Then when someone dishes up their soup, they can add as much or as little macaroni to their soup before eating. This is a huge hit in the family, needless to say ❤

[@flossysmartt]

Always looks so yummy 😋

[@BarbaraSampson-o9x]

Yes! You can purchase additional rings, or I hang mine outside for a couple of days after washing to dissipate the odor. Unfortunately in your case, the extreme cold temps could prevent this from being possible. (Watching from Texas). Love your channel!

[@maryh8230]

I have separate rings for my instapot. One is used for the stronger smelling savory dishes and others for dishes you don't want smelling strongly.

[@amyfletcher4749]

Do Olive Gardens sausage kale soup. Sooooo good!!!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Zuppa Toscana

[@sandraengstrand2784]

Soup and rolls looks fantastic!! I am on a total French onion kick!! Try French onion meatballs, soooo good!! 😋😋💕🧅🧅🧅

[@MADAboutCardsandCrafts]

Hi Chelsea, I know you said making your yogurt on the stove is sufficient for you, but you can buy extra rings for your Instant Pot that you can designate to use with yogurt or any other dish you don't want to infuse with the bean vapor. :)

[@lindagraff4842]

Alex is a little darling, very good looking soup, and buns, just what the doctor ordered

[@paulineclarke5388]

We live in the UK but we also have a home in Spain, Olive oil has increased in price so much , we still use it but more wisely

[@HelenKitley]

Chelsea, 👋 what is that fabulous little scoop thing you’re using in the pumpkins ?? It’s so efficient !

[@thebrunts1939]

I’m in Australia and we too are having people constantly sick with colds and flus. And it’s our summer!! Go figure! An observation I have is I wonder whether people all around the world have compromised immune systems from the cv 💉. Top epidemiologists did warn and predict that if we mass 💉the world population in a pandemic it could stuff up our immune systems rather than strengthen them. Just thinking out aloud. Had friends and work colleagues constantly sick since the roll out. 😢

[@marvona3531]

Yes it‘s worldwide!!! If you need some helpful information to stay healthy, feel free to ask. Stay healthy🍀👍🍀👍🍀👍

[@suewhalen3919]

I have also my mason jars with door screening for sprouting seeds. Look into fermented garlic. It will scare the cough out of you!!

[@janew5351]

Fermented garlic is raw honey and peeled garlic in your cupboard at least a month.

[@christinerutherford1780]

I love sprouting my fav is alfalf, sandwich booster and salad mix

[@donnachildress2231]

Looks like a great soup! I love lots of vegetables in soup.

[@donscott6431]

Lard is your best bet…while I do love olive oil, I firstly research the brand of olive oil…then use it mainly for low-temp cooking or finishing. I don’t use canola: having been in the restaurant business for so many years, I’ve seen first-hand, the residual left on a griddle using it. Safflower or grape seed oil is better if looking for a neutral oil

[@georginaboateng4901]

Thankyou

[@donscott6431]

Have you ever oven-dried tomatoes? At the restaurant I work at, in the summer the night shift will halve small or “paste” tomatoes and put them in the oven on sheet pans. The lowest oven setting is 125 degrees. The next morning they’re perfect. I’m thinking that it may be possible to dry can these? Haven’t thought it thru, but they’d be great for adding body and flavor to soups Countertops are beautiful, by the way. Much better than the butcher-block look😊

[@sheenacampbell3092]

You should try some small pasta in your minestrone soup

[@dmlouer]

I very seldom get colds but this year I had the worst head cold that I have ever had. Then my husband got it and my son. Then a week or so later my mother ended up in the hospital with the same thing and not able to breath then my brother got it. I work in a Nursing home in then billing office so I'm not exposed to most of the residents but they hav3e all been soooooo sick this year.

[@inspiredclips8245]

This was so nice, thank you for taking us with you across the room, especially enjoyed peeking into the soup pot.

[@79PoisonBreaker]

bengals also have affinity for water and like showers and playing in dog bowls. like a dog fetch is a favorite game. years ago when I had a bengal and a chocolate lab I was trapped in a forever game of fetch, outside with the dog and inside with the cat haha. Very high energy smart breed .

[@allisonhartley6712]

I have a separate ring and pot that I use for yogurt.

[@canadiangirl5159]

It's supposed to go down to -37 Celsius Thursday night Jan 11. Here in Alberta. Sunny all day on Friday with a daytime high of -34 Celsius and -45 Celsius on Friday night. ( I had to look twice at that weather forecast). Of course, that's Alberta.

[@sheilaflory2541]

Growing up there were always small amounts of vegetables leftover from dinner so we had a Tupperware container in the freezer that we’d dump them into. After filling a couple containers, it was time for soup. We’d usually add a handful of dried pasta and a can of tomatoes. Worst part was you could never repeat it since everything was random

[@catracampolieto8989]

You always cook the most delicious looking foods. I'll be growing collards for the first time this year. Any tips? Collards need to be blanched before freezing? Have a great day.❤
