Margaret Holmes Five Can Vegetable Soup -- Fast and Frugal -- One Pot Meal

[@13lotusflower]

It’s always enjoyable watching you Marie! I feel like I’m watching a friend when you are on. 😊✨

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much, I appreciate that!

[@Sword-Shield]

Brown up some lean ground beef and put in there for a Hobo Stew...as a kid in the boy scouts we would make it when we went out camping.Each scout would bring a can of veggies, and the scout master would brown up the ground beef in a big cauldron , when the beef was hot and ready we would all walk past the pot and dump in our can of veggies...brought it up to a simmer for about 15 minutes until it all got hot...it was delicious 😋 This recipe you made reminded me of the HOBO STEW 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@susieramick7202]

You had a cool scout leader. Fun story. Thanks

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes, thanks very much

[@Sword-Shield]

​@@SouthernCountryLivingI like mine with some Crystal 🔥 Hot Sauce 🌶 in my 🥣 bowl thanks for sharing this recipe 😋 deliciousness 😂

[@sewwhat9387]

I found the okra tomatoes and corn at the $ dollar tree sooo i I bought 3 cans......I'm going to try this soup recipe

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much, I hope you enjoy it!

[@sharonoffl1349]

Both my husband and I love okra. However, he doesn't care for lima beans so I would have to substitute. We are both southerners in our 80's and soup on chilly days is very comforting to old bones. That meal looks delicious! Love your videos! ❤🙏

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much

[@nonaflowers8034]

I love okra anyway it’s cooked! I wouldn’t eat most veggies as a child but now I love them!

[@MichelleJones-p4e]

What a great pantry meal ! Had a couple thoughts to add protein (if you want): 1) add some frozen meatballs to the soup 2) have a cup of soup with a ham & cheese sandwich! Thanks so much Marie; this soup is a great idea. Also, I’ve never tried okra. This might be a way to try it. ❤️🌹

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Going to make your bean soup as soon as I can get the cans of soup. I love Okra any way, especially fried. It's suppose to get really cold here in east Texas next week so this soup will really be good. Thanks for sharing.

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Yes, it's going to get cold here for us also.

[@bettyedavis5912]

My favorite winter meal, vegetable soup, corn bread and a big glass of ice cold whole milk. I am worrying about all the dire weather forecasts. My gas logs are broke, the remote won’t turn them on. One guy came out and said he couldn’t fix them , that they needed a module and he charged me 95 dollars. We tried another guy who took the logs apart and said they need electric parts that he would order. We never heard from him again and he wouldn’t return our calls. I called my propane provider and they said they could fix them and had a module in stock. They are scheduling that with my son, who always likes to be here when strangers are coming. So wish me luck because they are talking blizzards and that means power outages. I am so scared of the cold and being alone without power. I can’t even open my garage door if power is out. This is why I haven’t been commenting, but I have been watching. Love as always and God bless. I would live a big bowl of that soup. 😋

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much Betty. Yes, we are concerned about the cold weather coming also

[@dianes9416]

Can't trust anyone nowadays. Seems nobody knows what their doing. Glad you called major company.

[@abou8963]

Call your county Elders Program to find real caring help to help you.

[@calliemcinvaille6326]

Thanks for recipe.Here in south carolina cold

[@susieramick7202]

Your garage door should have a cord hanging inside the garage in front of the door. You would pull it to open if power isout. If you're unable to pull the cord park in driveway when storm or power outage forecast. Take care.

[@SusanJones-cv4wz]

Can't wait to make this! So easy and I love Margaret Homes veggies!!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

They are so good!

[@yvonnecoggin1573]

Thanks very much

[@danniemcdonald7675]

I'm not a fan of cooked/canned tomatoes in soup, but will tolerate a little in veggie soup. In this I would double the corn and lima beans and just add the tomatoes and okra. I love okra. Being a Southerner, I'll eat it any way, but prefer boiled ... the slimier, the better! 🤣🤣

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Thanks very much

[@sueblinn6343]

Good morning Marie, Soup looks good and lots of times I just throw everything in the pot and hope for the best and it always turns out delicious. Lol Tell Calvin I hope he feels better.
