Did I just learn that cream of soups are basically gravy? 😅 everything is so much more simple than I realize. I appreciate your lessons!

We need more recipes like this so we can stop buying so much from the store. Homemade always tastes better and is healthier.

Love the apron! When I was young, aprons were out of style. My mother-in-law started her day by putting on her apron and it remained until bed time. I thought, Oh, how old fashioned! Then, I started learning the “old ways” and started preparing my own baby food and meals from scratch. Even when I worked 60-70 hours a week, my weekends were spent making meals for the week. I quickly learned that an apron saved my clothes from a lot of stains!! It took years to find an apron that was actually comfortable but if you’re going to actually work, an apron or two are absolutely necessary accoutrements!!

To make your cream of mushroom soup gourmet put a little thyme in with your mushrooms and onions while you are sautéing them. Make it with half and half instead of milk. After the soup is nearly done put in a cap full of sherry or white wine into it. Let it cook off a little. Now you have delicate, delicious gourmet soup. It makes casseroles extra special, also.

This recipe is so helpful and not complicated at all. Just the idea that I’m not putting harmful ingredients into my family makes the little extra time needed to do this so worthwhile.

I picked up a can of cream of mushroom soup last week at the store, read the ingredients, was disgusted, and returned it to the shelf. Thank you for this recipe. Liked and subscribed 🎉

My Mom always had a can or mug of bacon fat in the fridge and then came the time when we were told that was bad for us and along came vegetable seed oils. Now we're back at square one😅 Thank you for this.

Ruth Ann you and your family are amazing. I am 73 yrs old and have learned so much from you. I have watched so many of your vids and I am never bored. You are so real to life and God put you here to show us how simple but hard working life can be. May you and your family be blessed!

I'm old. I live on a small homestead with my disabled son. Not only is our time limited, but so is storage space. This recipe is so welcome to my collection! Thank you for sharing.

This is a game changer! My husband is extremely sensitive to Campbell’s “ingredients”. Thank you!!❤️

Ruth Ann, I just love all your videos I've learned so much already! You are one very intelligent woman. I would have loved to have grown up on a farm like your children. Your videos are just so refreshing to watch a Godly wholesome influence for a change. It's what our world needs more of! Keep them coming and God bless you for what you do!

This looks great! So sick of the oversalted versions from the store. Plus since I used my Instant Pot as my crock pot, I can make the "Cream of" soup on the saute mode and then add my other ingredients for my recipe, thus only one pan to clean at the end. Also, I have found different brands of "cream of" soups vary widely in their taste, and making your own would be the what it should taste like. Thanks for this!

I didn't think young people knew they could do this. I'm impressed. They don't realize this is how it was done before Cable Soups came along. Thanks for sharing.😍

Thank you so much for the simple recipe. Everything we can exchange for real food is so helpful. I really wonder how far from food we have been consuming. I always thought I was a scratch cooker, until recently. Thank you for teaching your children the old ways. Gives this great grandma hope for the future.

I just recently made cream of celery soup with a harvest from my garden and I used white beans instead of flour to thicken it. An immersion blender is great to purée it a bit and I love the taste and texture! 💕

Hello I'm new to your channel and have never made homemade cream of soups, I agree with Gabby Lowry after reading the comments, but you made it so easy to follow and not rushed. I like that. I've just retired a few months ago and I have always had fast boxed or take out foods, so I have the time and I am learning how to make foods the old fashion way and healthier.

I love to hear the children laughing & playing around in the background! I have 10 grandchildren & just love to see them enjoy life. God bless you & thanks for your recipes!

I was making gravy for my dog because she needed help she was a rescue. When i put a bullion cube in and accidentally too much corn starch. It turned into cream of chicken soup. The dog absolutely loved it on her food. I tasted it it tasted just like Campbell's in the can.😅

ANOTHER TIP: To avoid the undesirable flavor of FLOUR in your soup stir it in the fat until it begins to thicken and turning brown. Same for gravies. The bad flavor of flour will then totally eliminated.

I have been thickening my sauces with flour and water for years Instead of water substituted milk for cream soup just like you said canned soup is very, very bad for anyone’s health! It is well worth the effort and tastes great! Thank you!

it's basically a white sauce which can be used as the base for gravies , creamed soups , or mac and cheese or eggs benedict sauce by adding more butter and tarragon.

Sorry…. Had to stop the video so I could just saw WTH on the onion cutting? I’ve never seen anyone do that before. It’s brilliant!!! Many times I’ve only needed a bit of onion but chopped the whole thing. Game changer.

If your soup doesn't thicken properly you can also just take a wire mesh colander/strainer that fits inside the pan yet allows the soup above the bottom of the strainer, place it in the pan and using a wisk add flour directly to the soup. Remove the strainer. This keeps lumps out of the soup.

I love this channel! You have so much practical homesteading knowledge and I’m thankful you take the time to share it. My grandmother was an excellent homesteader too, but unfortunately she has left this world. My mother didn’t like to cook and after a few years, we didn’t keep a garden anymore. I now have some physical disabilities and I believe they are due in large part to a lifetime of the poisons allowed in the current American diet (and water and air). Many ingredients used in American foods are illegal in other countries because of their toxicity. To maintain our health, we must be mindful of what foods and drinks we serve ourselves and our families. You are an excellent resource to help people see how they can take positive action to live their best life. Thank you! God bless you.

I’m so happy I came across this channel! Thanks for the recipe and the simple instructions to make fresh cream soup!

I have made cream soups for the last couple years and will use dehydrated mushrooms also. I also add garlic powder to the recipe. I can make this soup for pennies and know that it is so much better tasting and more nutritious. When you are cooking in large batches the cost of cream soups really add up. The recipe you just made would have added 12 dollars to the cost of a meal, for many people that would keep them home from a church get to gather.

Didn't realize Campbel's had added so many extra ingredients. I have a few cans, glad there aren't too many. Thank you, Ruth Ann, this recipe looks easy to manage about the same as making gravy. As a mom of four grown children and one mature teen, who works and has purchased his own car, it is refreshing to hear your children playing and sword fighting in the background 😊 ! Brings back good memories of my kids playing and also how my brothers and I played when we were growing up. Their playing didn't seem to faze you, Ruth Ann 😊. My mom use to say "no blooding curdling screams all is well," haha!

Campbell's soups now have genetically engineered ingredients or gmo in them. I just threw out all my soups I bought on sale awhile back. I'm not eating that garbage. Thank you for sharing.

i am so glad to see flour on your apron and the kids making noise upstairs. This is like REAL LIFE. Many times I watch cooking videos and and they are so perfect, it makes me feel inferior. I don't know what it is, but flour just jumps up and sticks to me just by looking at it.

I made mushroom cream of soup for a chicken spaghetti recipe. It was wonderful tasting. I am so happy to know I can make this from whole foods and no longer have to use a can of chemical goop. Thank you! I can't wait to try the crackers.

We are all in your debt and so grateful. Growing up my Mother did not cook. These skills are essential for every teenager. Essential. You make it so enjoyable and I am so grateful for the love and care that you devote to sharing your amazing knowledge with us. I am in Australia and am sending you many thanks from the other side of the World. I have always been intimidated by cooking and only wish I had known this . . . .lets just say 30 years ago ! God Bles you and Peace be with you and your beautiful Loved Ones !

It looks like we are slowly going back in time and cooking and baking like our grand and great grandmother's did. This soup was something new to make for me and I'm happy I stopped by to watch you make them. 😊

Thanks Ruth Ann for sharing your "cream of..." recipes. I never made a roux to start off my own soups, but now that I see what a difference it makes, I'll certainly do that.

I just told the hubz about y’all’s channel!!! We love doing uncomplicated mostly natural stuff!!! Thank You for sharing, I’m so glad I found you today

I absolutely love your videos. They're so down to earth and I really enjoy the fact that you can hear and see your family and real daily life going on. Thanks so much for sharing!👍❤️

This has been a very interesting case! I was SO EXCITED to stumble upon the part 2 after watching the first part yesterday!!! Can't wait for the next one!

I am blown away. Ive looked for homemade cream soup recipes for awhile. Makes so much sense. All the chemicals that I can now avoid. Thank you so much and just sub'd.

never realized how easy it was to make your own creamed soups. You have saved me a ton of money. ty

Oh I have started to make my own, I love your recipe better!! Thank you for all you are doing. Teaching these things was not part of my upbringing, so I'm so incredibly grateful for you teaching it to all of us.

I never knew it was so easy. Every time I watch you I learn so much. Thank you.

Many moons ago I moved to the USA & I was amazed at the amount of canned stuff it took for someone in this country to make a meal. 😔. A tiny bit of nutmeg goes really well with your white sauces.

Hi there! I just found your channel. I love the recipe for cream soups. You are right about it being all natural and no added suspicious stuff. Your voice is very calming. ❤

I just made your cream of recipe as a gravy and…WOW!!! Everyone loved it! 🎉 literally only one serving left. I even made it gluten free and it still tasted amazing. My daughter said it’s her new favorite! Will never have to buy those overpriced cream soup cans or gravy mixes again. Thank you so much from a very satisfied family here in Texas 🤍

Made this last night and it turned out amazing! So much better than store bought. Thanks so much for the recipe!!!!

Hi! Ruth, I am so glad I found you. It was by accident while scrolling through You Tube but am so glad I did! You are such a joy to watch and so informative, step by step. Thank you! ❤

I loved your son’s reaction when you said you were adding fat🤣🤣🤣 I’ve been making cream of soups for a few years now and instead of fat I use vegetable broth. Taste’s just as good and helps keep your cholesterol down

I have watched and tried so very many cream-O-something soup recipes... I waited to comment till after I tried your variation... Thank you so much for sharing your mama's recipe! I so love this! I would recommend to anyone and everyone!!!!!

I just love this lady's teachings and recipes. So glad I found her channel! Thank you, Mrs. Z!!!

This is fantastic,there are so many recipes I don’t make due to all the junk in commercial canned cream soups. Thank you for sharing

The cream soups at the store have TERRIBLE UNHEALTHY ingredients which is why I don't buy them anymore. THANKS for these recipes!! P.S. Ritz Crackers are BANNED in Europe due to the unhealthy ingredients 😉 so glad you didn't use them in your casseroles!

Love your channel, I’m learning so much! Who knew Cream soups were so easy. I’m also trying to eat simple ingredient foods & NO seed oils. Thank you for your generosity & sharing ❤

I have been watching your video's for a few days. I truly enjoy all of them. You are so amazing. And I have a 6 year old that has autism and loves to watch with me. So thank you so much for sharing your life and your wonderful family. I'm going to make your cream soup tomorrow. God bless you and your family.

I am so grateful for these “cream of … soup recipes”. ❤ I have never liked canned soups due to the extreme saltiness. These recipes sound so delicious & healthy. Thank you so much. I am subscribing!

Crazy, I was JUST thinking this morning about looking for recipes for a "cream of" soup from scratch because so many recipes call for it! Looking forward to learning from you! Love from Maine, Deb

Thank you so much for these recipes. They look delicious, easy & so much better for our health. Certainly solves the problem of finding a recipe that calls for different soups. Now we're able to make our own & not have to rely on going to the store for extra soup. Again, thank you so much. Blessings to you & your family.🌞💐🌞

Thank you, KZfaq for suggesting this fine channel! Thanks for this video and recipe. This will be so helpful as I recently had triple bypass open heart surgery and my Docs wants me to consume no salt as well as follow a diabetic diet.. This recipe will help tremendously as I am learning to cook (and prep) in a totally different way... at 75!! You have a new subscriber on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.💜

Busy times for sure. This is a lovely FRESH version of "Cream of ..." I've made all-powder dry recipes, never even considered this approach. DOH! Thanks so much for sharing this and have a wonderful weekend! 😊

I think it's awesome that you grow, forge for mushrooms & make things from scratch. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for teaching me how easy it is to make the real thing! You are a blessing!

It's so wonderful seeing helpful recipes like this! Basic cans of soup are now sooo high..and have so many bad ingredients.this is so easy to make!

This is basically how I make gravy, the sauce for chicken & rice, & the gravy for chicken pot pie. Thank you for this! The cream soups taste so much better homemade! It's so easy & quick too!

Thank you for taking the time to show how to make Cream Of Soups. I’ve tried several times and it never turned out but now that I watched this I realized I added to much liquid to mine. I do make my own gravy that way but never thought it could make cream soup by adding different ingredients. I’ve had to change cows cream to goats cream and I can certainly use fat instead of vegan “butter” and I can use one of my other flours in place of the regular flour. I realized that nothing can replace the flavour of the original cow’s cream. 😊 That casserole looks so delicious.

You make everything look so simple... or should i say reachable! Which is why I think we feel comfortable in trying to do it on our own. You are a blessing!

This awesome! I no longer live in the US but still feel the need to make a few of my mothers “comfort foods” I grew up on. A few of them call for “cream soups” (celery, mushroom and chicken were mom’s staples) which are not available in my country. Now I can make the recipes! Going to get started this weekend, so thank you! 💜

I just found your channel about a week ago. Have been watching your videos. I love your channel. You are the best homestead channel I have found. I love your channel. Thanks for all that you do. ❤

I've been trying to bring myself to make this forever for exactly the reasons you talk about. The ingredients are so terrible I store bought. Thank you for this video!!

Thank you so much, you are a true blessing! I have several family members with dietary restrictions, so making our favorite Thanksgiving dishes can be challenging. I've been trying to find organic versions of many of these prepared "ingredients", and this year my usual replacements are missing from store shelves. Now I'm armed with a recipe to make my own!! I just need to find one for evaporated milk and I'm good to go for Thanksgiving and Christmas. 😊

Baby ducks are so sweet. God has designed them so that even though they've never have experienced water....they know instinctively how to swim.....God is Good. Thank you for sharing recipes and these little ducks.

I stopped using Campbell's canned soups many years ago because of all the additives in the soup which I chose to avoid. I will buy some organic soups, but only the top brands and only after I have read what ingredients are in the soups. I love your cream recipes and hope to make some soon. You use all the ingredients I wish to consume and can't wait to try them. I am all for healthy, holistic eating, but I am not vegan or a vegetarian. However, I do consume products that are non GMO, do not use any of the toxic ingredients which can cause cancer, not do I use foods that are not antibiotic and hormone free. So happy I found your channel.

This is great. I love adding a can of cream of chicken soup to my homemade chicken soup, but after reading the ingredients it's not very desirable. I didn't realize that making "cream of starter" was so simple. Thank you.

I’ve been making cream soups for many years also. It’s so easy. Glad you are bringing this to people’s attention.

I just love this-so simple & I spent my whole life buying store bought poison. God bless you! 🙌 I love what you are doing!

Thank you for sharing this recipe. It looks so good. I usually shy away from recipes that call for canned cream of soups. Not anymore.

Thanks for sharing. Been doing this for long time, but not everyone knows it’s that easy. Much healthier and cheaper.

These cream of soup recipes make me so happy! I have always loved creamy soups but never made them. Thank you! I feel so inspired. :)

I just came across you and starred watching your video. I just love watching and learning from you. You are the best. Thank you so much for doing these videos.

I’ve been watching lots of your videos. Iso appreciate your godly work ethic and wisdom. Your family is blessed having you as a Mom. Learning lots from you! ❤️🙏 Val C

So happy I stumbled upon your channel! I never knew making cream of soups could be so easy! PS. I loved your little boy when he gasped “fat?!?” And stuck out his tongue in disgust lol. Precious

Good morning, I just found your channel and subscribed- God bless you . Oh my goodness- I am 56 yrs old I never knew this - what an amazing cheaper and healthier way to make all these soups , We have a garden and property, but I had emergency back fusion in October 2022 then caught SEPSIS- Im very lucky to be here - but my back surgeries made me worse , My husband does come home and work in the garden , I do what I can using my rolling walker . Thank you for such amazing content . Ive been writting so much down - from making homemade mixes , and now your soups to save us money & stock up With our economy going up daily. God bless you & your beautiful family Mrs josette Tharp Montgomery County, Texas 🙏

Can I just say "I love your channel" you are a joy to watch, thank you so much 🙏🇬🇧

I really like the way you add the onion...why have I never figured that out. This will really speed up my process. I use cream of soups for cooking for a while so I've also been looking for cream of recipes for the reasons you mentioned. Really appreciate your video.

This is so helpful because in my country they don't sell creme of soup. Thank you! ❤

I am loving the fact that you are trying to add healthier options as are we. It's a challenge but worth it. Bless you and your family.

Very sweet of you to share your mama’s recipes. Thank you😊

Thank you for sharing. I would love to see you make Cheddar Cream of Broccoli. Looks delicious!! 💕💕

Just bumped into your channel...and I said... "I wonder if she has the same recipe as I do...???" Pretty darn similar... I LOVE the added onion...besides that...the only difference is for my liquid... I sometimes I use half whole cream and half whole milk...However...I generally use just whole milk...But... I'm going to try your recipe tonight. . & see if "the boss" notices...(lol) [we aren't getting any younger... and he IS supposed to be following a reduced calorie diet...] Thanks a ton ... You've definitely gotten a head start on health issues... ps... I truly LOVE your hair!!! Blessings❣❣❣

Just found your channel and this was a wonderful video! Very informative and practical. I also lived hearing the kids in the background! Felt like home. Thanks so much!

I just found your videos and I am really enjoying them. I miss my full time at home when my kids were small. Now I have a 3 generation household caring for my father in law and work full time (from home since the pandemic). I miss feeling relaxed when preparing food, often I feel rushed and get tired of the planning part. I enjoy how calm you are and love your explanations and all your options and flexibility❤

Really enjoyed learning how to make cream of soups, thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

My reason to start making homemade cream soups is cost. Publix Supermarket here in Florida priced Campbell's to $2.05 for one can of soup. This is insane. Thank you for your video. I'm now encouraged to make my own.

Wow!!! I am so glad you shared your recipes of cream of something soups. I will definitely be making them from now on. My husband has to watch his salt intake and I know that canned soups are full of sodium and other bad nutrition. Thank you so much for sharing your “whole food” recipes for a healthy substitute for cream of something soups. I didn’t know how easy it could be to make your own.❤ I love your videos. Your family is amazing ❤️

I love watching your videos! I am learning so much. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

This is Mrs Pete. I can’t believe how easy that is to make. I’m going homemade for sure.

Thank you so much! I’m new to your channel and never realized just how easy it is to make cream of soups! I’ll be making my own,just as you instructed and avoid the junk in the cans.

Omg, this finished product looks delicious!!! I bet it was so flavorful!!

This information is worth it’s weight in gold. No more canned chemicals for our household, thank you.😊

Over the last two years, I have had many "firsts"ie garden, learned to can etc. I have just added another "first". I made home made cream of broccoli soup. I couldn't believe how good it was! Now my asparagus is coming up..that will be my next cream of soup.

My oldest is deathly allergic to dairy, and store bought cream soups are full of it. So I’ve been looking for a delicious alternative and I think this is it! He’s wanted me to make some chicken recipes, but without the cream soup, I didn’t have a non expensive alternative. These look fantastic and I can’t wait to try it. Thank you so much!

This is Soooo Wonderful !!! Im 72, stoped buying the canned a long while back, bc of what's in it and high Salt content(bc of my Heart). THANK YOU SOOO MUCH !!! You are a Blessing for Sure 😊💙

Impressed with your onion cutting method and will try it in a few minutes. This is just the recipe/knowledge I have needed for 15 or so years, since tins of condensed soups became watery and lost natural flavours. Also I now try to avoid chemical ingredients. I like your approach to sharing your knowledge and you have a lovely voice and welcoming face when you bring us into your home. Thank you. 💐
