Tiny House Cooking - French Market Soup

I love this hearty soup in cold weather! And it's a pretty inexpensive and nutritious way to feed a lot of people.
***************************************************************
If you are new to my channel and Fy Nyth (Welsh for "My Nest") in general, welcome! I'm Ariel. I live off grid (as in no physical connection to public utilities) in a tiny house on wheels in the mountains of western Wyoming. I've been living this lifestyle for over four years now and love it! What will you find if you follow my channel and watch my videos?
Real life here. I try to show the good and the bad. The ups and the downs. What works, and what doesn't. The parts I love (most of it!), and the things that suck. Not just the showroom version of a tiny house, but everyday life in a tiny house. Not just the romantic idea of "homesteading" or off grid life, but the everyday details of this lifestyle. I split my own wood for heat, carry my water by hand, and attempt to grow as much of my own food as I can between the weather and wildlife here. I hope to help others learn from my mistakes and make life just a little easier for anyone else interested in pursuing a similar lifestyle.
I live in a somewhat harsh and cold climate, but enjoy the stunning sceanery and wildlife that I am surrounded by on a daily basis. You'll also see videos of of the nature and wildlife around my home. If you are interested in my photography or purchasing a photo, I'd love if you follow that over at Facebook.com/ArielCelestePhotography or ArielCelestePhotography.zenfolio.com!
For a bit of my background, as a child, I was fortunate enough to be able to spend much of my free time exploring and playing in the woods. Little has changed now that I'm older I suppose. I moved to a place with a bigger woods and still enjoy spending my time outside gardening, hiking, exploring, and photographing the natural world around me. As the eldest of seven children who grew up in a homeschooling family, I had the opportunity, not always appreciated at the time, to learn to do quite a bit of work. I've enjoyed a wide range of jobs, everything from greenhouses and flower arranging to wilderness therapy with teens, to milking cows. Mostly, I enjoy doing the kinds of things that I think provide a real service or value to others. Some of my other hobbies include backpacking, hosting people, cooking, preserving food, anything to do with nutrition, reading, journalling, and sitting around a fire and talking to my close friends.

I recently discovered you're channel and have been binge watching your videos. I have been inspired to one day have my own tiny home and already incorporating simular things you do. You live such a low waste life and I am very much grateful to have found your channel and just love to watch all the ways you do different things. Thank you Ariel!

Hello beautiful and Burley too, sitting here hungry and was wishing you lived down the road from me. So I could get some of that delicious soup. But guess I'll have to settle for something less delicious, delicious. I see you just wore Burley out today, maybe he needs a reprieve from the long walks. No he loves them i know, wish I lived there just so i could let the little girl run free, but i live on a busy road. Ariel give Burley a big hug for me and you be safe.

[@katherinebragg9704]

Can you can the left overs? And if so, how would you do it? Water bath or pressure canner? and how long?

[@FyNyth]

You certainly could! Like most lower acid foods, a pressure canner would be recommended for beans. I think about an hour and a half at ten pounds. Depending on your altitude.

thx. :) @@FyNyth

[@cricketmcclure3458]

Celery? since living solo, having/keeping such has been a challenge for me - voila! - McCormick makes a Celery flakes (dried) that has been working really well for my recipe needs! No more soggy, wasted, refrigerated stalks, and a little of these, goes a long way. :)

[@FyNyth]

Dried is a great way to store all kinds of things!

[@lindaroyal8161]

I appreciate your videos, to me they are very soothing to watch and a way to relax. I also like things organized and how to videos, and when you pulled out that grocery list "DA DA", need to see that up close. If you would like to do a video on how you came up with your list, how you put it together and all the other tips you have for your chart and grocery trips, certainly would love to see those. I've seen many grocery lists, but never an entire kitchen food list like that one, very interested in it and ideas. thank you.

[@FyNyth]

I'll have to do a whole video for that topic sometime.

[@AtheneNoelle]

My favorite comfort food is French potato leek soup, but this looks very good!

[@weaver7249]

Oh my! How I wish I were having dinner with you! This looks amazing. It's so cozy at your house - you want to come in and put your feet up and what a view you have. I love you channel.

[@ArtGardenFoodExpressions]

There are a lot of videos on KZbin, but don't really add anything of value to "my" life, and I don't criticize them for it, but I learn so much here. I enjoy what you offer, every single time. Thank you.

[@FyNyth]

Aww that's lovely to hear! I'm so glad you enjoy them.

[@mags102755]

That soup sounded and looked soooooo yummy!

[@skytechbits]

It looks so delicious as usual. I bet those guys wish you would cook for them again. For my recipe, it would have some mushrooms and celery. I know you mentioned you don't have any celery right now. I'm going to work on picking up more variety of beans and make some soup to freeze. I like your ideas Ariel. You inspire me in many ways as I work on organizing things so that I can do some videos also.

[@HotRodKid53]

Yum! Never met anyone that uses as much garlic and onions in their cooking as I do, until watching your videos. Worcestershire is a three syllable word, most people accentuate the 'cester' part of the word which makes it four syllables but it is actually Worce-ster-shire with 'Worce' being the dominant sound.

[@karengallimore2016]

Love your videos. Very informative, educational, I've learned a lot about what vegetables are good for our health. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@richardschmidt2430]

Hi Ariel! Dawn & Rich here (Dawn Cierelli)...very good video--I LOVE bean soups, you did an awesome job! Have an awesome day out there! :):):)

[@gwenmiller1198]

I have found that people that don't like onions, tomatoes, garlic etc. Have a problem with textures not flavour. Some textures are unpleasant to them but as you said if you puree you keep the flavor but unify the texture. Okra and onions can get "slimy" in soups but change the cooking method and the texture becomes acceptable to them. Soup looks great to me though.

[@shermanhofacker4428]

I add turnip or mustard greens to my market stew. Never seem to have enough broth to build up a frozen supply.

[@funafterfifty7833]

I really enjoy your videos! I look forward to them always. Thank you!

[@tubularguynine]

Looks like 15 bean soup. I like to cut up a slice of thick Wright's applewood bacon in all my beans and greens, and fry it almost crisp in the pot before adding the veggies. In the South, we say: 'Woos-tah-sheer'. I keep Liquid Smoke in my pantry at all times. That looks SO good!👍🏻

[@christopherstube9473]

There was a tribe in ancient Britain called the Weogora, in whose countryside the Romans built a camp called a Castra. This became Worcester which was in a shire or county between Birmingham and Gloucester (another Roman camp). My mother who was from Massachusetts where there is another Worcester taught me that the Worcester part of it was pronounced as wister. But due to English being a strange and ancient language the sauce is probably a carry over from something the Romans did. So say it anyway it pleases you and have an outstanding feast .

[@christopherstube9473]

I am so impressed you cut all those onions without crying! Lol, when I cut them up I'm a mess...tears everywhere :-)

[@IsthatSew]

The soup looks good. You needed that big pot! I like your laminated grocery list. I did something similar once except instead of alphabetical order I listed items in the order I come to them in my favorite store. So when I went shopping I could efficiently zip through the grocery store. Then they renovated the store and moved everything! I gave it up and reverted back to my old list writing method. Now I might try your alphabetical, laminated method!

[@elleh3495]

Wow! Looks delicious. Your house always looks so cozy. Thank You for the video.

[@Diligent-dp7gi]

LOOKS DELICIOUS : ) I will make THIS Soup!!

[@MikeEvansUK]

Worcestershire: pronounced wus-ter-sher, a county in the West of England . (By the way the sauce of that name is not a vegetarian ingredient as it contains anchovy.) I've just sown climbing beans in cells, some of which will be used green and some will be for drying. We still have some left from last year for making recipes like this one. We're a bit ahead of you weather-wise, today was also carrot sowing day.

[@robr7200]

You're right most Worcestershire brands are not vegetarian, but they do exist. Annie's is one such brand.

[@theresa5059]

There's also hendersons relish; the northern version.

[@dawnbaker9274]

Raining here in Texas. Perfect time to watch one of your soup videos. 👍💖

[@ginaallen3797]

We have a similar style of cooking. Mine is from cooking for myself for over 5 decades. Thanks to parents who were both good cooks I learned early on that being able to cook for oneself is kind of important. Especially if your course is a singular one like mine. I actually made a big pot of chicken veggie soup earlier this week which is now going into freezer containers for later this summer. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@zzydny]

Was wondering why those beans were taking so long because they cook very speedily for me--never thought of elevation! My town is at 73 feet above sea level; that's quite a bit of difference. Beans cook quickly here. Also I boil beans for five minutes before leaving them to soak overnight.

[@tinchina85]

That was a great video that I thoroughly enjoyed! I now have plans to make French Market Soup (um....without the lima beans! ha EWWWWW!). :) :) Teresa

[@carolluther1625]

Looks tasty, I have never seen beans soup with tomatoes and sausage added. Good stuff thanks for sharing.

[@nancyhowell4505]

I'm at a point in my life where I must eat healthier, much more vegetarian. I've never liked vegetables much, due to the way they were cooked, without any seasoning except salt, and never mixed up or in a homemade soup. This video is perfectly timed for me and just what I need! Thank goodness for the internet and bless you for your recipes and detailed information about nutrition, what size pot to use, cooking temperatures and time, etc. Looking forward to being inspired. 👏🙏👍👍❤️👵

[@FyNyth]

Aww you're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@janonthemtn]

Vegetables are not healthier. Maybe you should listen to your body. See videos by neurosurgeon Dr Anthony Chaffee MD>the Plant Free MD See video by Dr Chris Knobbe MD, on seed oils>KZbin

[@saucywench9122]

Had to laugh about the blending the garlic and onion part. My mother in law used to do the same thing with bell peppers in spaghetti sauce for her husband. It's a texture thing, he said they were slimy to him.

[@catyear75]

I always enjoy your cooking videos Ariel! Good tip about which onions store the best- something to consider when planning a garden for sure ! That soup looked yummy! Bon Apetit!

Beans are a staple around here with out tomato. After soup, we add brown sugar and tomato sauce and bake them, I generally have ham cubes in my bean soup. Thanks for sharing!

[@cindibednarz5066]

Isn't that onion overload, I do know they are good for us though. Love your recipes.

[@FyNyth]

I don't think so, but that's one of the great things about making your own food, you can make it to your taste! :)

[@lesleyharris3198]

Hi Ariel, wostersauce, we don't pronounce the shire, and your right about people who say i don't like x my hubby is the same way, but will eat stuff if it's mixed in, when my daughter was little i used to hide the dried apricot in the sweet corn but then she said everybody else made yukky corn because it was not as sweet

[@rudyo8409]

Oh" so nummy looking. Gurl you can cook some great food. Big smile and a hug"

[@nadenegordon7639]

Looks good, I can't use tinned tomato in my meals anymore as it causes inflammation but if I cook up my own it's not as bad. Must be a lot of acid or something in the cans that doesn't agree with me.

You could throw the garlic with the skin into a mason jar screw on the top and just shake. Within seconds the cloves are ready to chop.

[@FyNyth]

I've heard that. And tried it. With no results at all. Has this worked for you?

[@ruthhovsepian]

@@FyNyth I use this method when I need lots of garlic. I wonder if it matters how many are in the jar? BTW Love your videos and I am living vicariously through you!

[@joshreece9796]

Ariel, what type of meat was that? Your tricky idea of putting onion/garlic in the processor is excellent.

[@FyNyth]

Beef sausage. I know that trick works with picky teen boys anyway. :)

[@joegarry8983]

A pot of soup like I've never seen before Ariel. Come October soup is one of my favourite meals. Usually get three days feeding from one good pot, then let it hail rain or snow. See that recipe uses beans instead of the floury potatoes I usually use and does not call for good stewing meat, invariably my soup also has full head of celery along with lots of carrots, onions etc. Definitely will be trying your recipe come next October. Did you ever make potatoe bread, Ariel, another of my Winter favourites. Great with fried bacon and few fried eggs, just what the old doc ordered, and a batch will last days, Regards

[@FyNyth]

I have not made my own potato bread before. I should give that a shot sometime.

[@musk4mars116]

Can you ship us all some of the soup? It looks delicious. Years ago, while working for the railroad as a summer job, I was required to wait outside Hunt’s big facility in Southern California for some time. I watched truck after truck haul in the summer tomatoes for processing. Every single one green. Hunt’s tomatoes!

[@FyNyth]

Yeah one of the facts of a food system that now transports most things many miles, almost everything is harvested before it's ripe. :(

Looks great. Would you consider making a video on dehydration of both meats and fruits/veg? You mentioned home dehydrated food when demonstrating packing for backpacking.

[@gg-sb8mn]

And how you store your onions through the winter. I've heard of cutting up and storing in a freezr and I've heard of storing root vegetables in sand in a cool dark place in a cellar

[@FyNyth]

Yes I will try to do demos on how I dehydrate stuff. The onions I just keep in a dry place after curing in the fall. If I have enough extra, I do dry or freeze them and like to use them both ways.

[@Seastorm-nh8cv]

Wow, I wish I had Smell-a-vision! That soup looks awesome! In fact, I need to make a meal for our Church Fellowship before Bible Study...this is it! Thanks!

Ummmm, French Market Bean Soup, one of my favorites. I make mine almost exactly the same except I add some celery. I love lots of onion and garlic too! I haven't used Worcestershire sauce or liquid smoke though. I bet Cumin could replace the liquid smoke since it gives a smokey flavor as well. I also add 1/2 cup of white wine about 15 minutes before eating. Now you've got me craving this soup! 😉 I'll add that bean mix to my grocery list!! BTW, I love watching you cook, thank you for videoing! I'm 65 and have always loved to cook. I learned how from my mother at an early age, much like you said in a previous vid how you learned as a child.❤

[@dfhepner]

Ariel, That looks really good. I've tried the 15 bean soup packages from the store. I call them nail soup as the package has instructions that tells you to buy a lot of other stuff to add in. so you end up with a cart full of stuff when you leave the store. My peppermint has come back but the mint that I started from mint sprigs from the store has not yet.

[@FyNyth]

:) Any signs of your other mint yet? Mine's up, but with all the cold and snow it's kind of just sitting there not growing at all.

Beautiful fruit bowl 😊. Ive wondered- don’t you ever get lonely there in your little tiny house? I have five kids and I think, in part, I watch your videos because I envy you the quiet and peace I see there, which I am missing in my own crowded life. But at the same time I think it might be lonely too. Just curious about your feelings, your backstory, if you feel like sharing. Learning to be content alone, to enjoy my own company, is on my list of things to do.

[@FyNyth]

The short answer is no, I really enjoy the peace and quiet. But I discuss my thoughts on that in a lot more detail in this video - kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZ-ucp98m8-pl5Y

Ariel presume you intend making what we call "Windy Soup" as after you have eaten it and it sin your stomach, the gasses get to work and shall we say for the sake of impropriety Brailey will be looking at you all funny like as if to say "Wasn't me Mum, I swear!"

[@FyNyth]

While some folks certainly have that problem, it's usually due to a missing element in their digestive system or poorly prepared beans. Soaking and rinsing (one reason canned beans do tend to make folks gassy as they are not prepared that way) cooking thoroughly, using enough salt as that helps further break down the oligosaccharides, and eating them regularly all help. I don't get any gas from eating beans I prepare.
