Best Tomatoes to Grow in a Short Growing Season www.littlemountainranch.com/b...
Today, we're making one of our favourite tomato soups. This one is loaded with roasted veggies and simmered to perfection! Next, we made a cake recipe from a 1906 Cookbook, and it was delicious-definitely different than any cake I've made before, but good! Last, we headed out to the greenhouse to do a little potting up of our tomatoes. I hope you enjoy coming along with me today!

If a recipe tells you to measure first then sift as in “sift two cups of flour” it is only listed to sift for potential bugs or clumps bc of old time practices of flour storage. If the recipe says “two cups of sifted flour” it wants the flour sifted first then measured for lightness and less flour than compacted scoops of flour.
I’ve been making my own tomato soup for years, and agree with you. Once you’ve made it, you won’t go back to store bought canned soup. I add fresh basil to mine. But I’ve never added squash, and I will definitely try that. Just found your channel and subscribed. Can’t wait to watch more.
The acid in the tomatoes would cause the protein in the milk to curdle and separate from the whey of the milk, much the same as making farmer's cheese. Baking soda is alkaline, so it neutralizes the acid and brings the soup Ph to neutral so the milk won't break.
Thank you. A very good point that I did not know about.
My mom always said, "red to white is always right."
My Mom always said that the man was the head but the woman was the heart. One is as important as the other and both were essential to life. Works together in harmony.
Beating by hand in 1906 for 20 minutes should equal possibly 5 minutes with an electric mixer I would think. Love your channel and can't wait to see it pop up when a new one posts!
I was thinking the same thing !
Same thoughts from this 66 year old. My grandmother would just sit with the bowl in her lap and best and beat and beat. As a child I tried to do the same but there was no way I could do it. By the time I was an adult I had a brilliant state of the art hand beater 😊
I just watched a video by acre homestead in which she forgot to cream the sugar into the yolks, and added it with the flour. She decided to go ahead and make a second cake and creamed the sugar and yolks. The difference between the two cakes was in the texture and rise, with the first cake being shorter and spongier.
Enjoyed your video!
I was able to order off Amazon a reproduction of her book...yay...looking forward to reading it.
I think you must be a Wonder Woman. I am 74 or will be on the 28th and I can work circles around some 30/40 women but you get more done in a day than most accomplish in two weeks!! Love your channel. Makes me miss Canada-the people but not the government 🤣 I agree about the tea towels!!
Just 74. Agree with you. I think it is a generational thing as well - work ethic. Hope you aren’t in the U.S. 😍🇨🇦
Lol! Yes, the people are great.

On the kitchen wall in the house I grew up in was a little tiny plaque which stated:
I am the boss of this house and I have my wife’s permission to say so.
to make the soup creamy without milk try adding an avocado and blend it in. You should get a handheld scanner and scan the old pages in your cookbooks and print them out the pages, use the printout instead when cooking thus saving the book from getting damaged.
I think the book meant to say beat the yolks for 20 minutes because they did not have electric mixers in 1907
They had hand mixers, or egg beaters in 1907. They were referred to for beating cream into whip cream, and used for beating eggs.
@@DeviousKnitter70the beaters were used, but electric beaters weren’t invented until 1908 and thst was commercial only
Abd homes started using them about 1960’s.
Electric mixer was invented in 1885
I was taught to sift my flour, and then measure out the amount needed for a recipe. By sifting what the recipe calls for, one will likely end up with more flour in whatever is being made, than needed. Has anyone else been taught to sift, then measure flour? I'm 61 years old, and like you, I rarely sift my flour. But when I want a light and fluffy result, I take the time to sift, then measure my flour.
The Hoosier cabinets had an area to store flour, and when you needed some for a recipe, it has a sifter attached to the bottom of the flour bin, that the flour must pass through to get out of the bin. Early homemakers always sifted flour.
I have that Hoosier cabinet in white!
But the sifter is so rusty that I can't use it.
YES
Yes I actually went back and listened to how it was written. Because the whole time I was thinking that is too much Flour I think this cake was supposed to be more like an angel food cake. 2x sifted flour would be like about 1/2as much as you measured out. Although I'm sure it tasted fine I don't think it was ment to be that dense.
My mom uses to say that my dad was the head of the house but she was the neck that turned that head lol 😆 😂 🤣
Classic line from my big fat Greek wedding! Love it
@@kathleenroberts7972 except my mom used to say that back in the 60's and 70's lol 😆 😂 🤣

I learned from my Dutch father-in-law, who was a baker, that sifting was done to remove unwanted impurities from flour! He visited his sister in America and when making her favorite baked goods to remind her of her homeland, discovered that store bought flour in the USA was VERY clean and light. He shared his surprise with me, his American daughter-in-law living in The Netherlands, on his return from his one and only round trip flight anywhere! He was a baker in the Netherlands throughout WWII because the Germans needed bakers to produce food during the occupation.
It's so highly processed and white,flour is often bleached and we have it virtually free of anything bad or good. A lot of the impurities are gone but so are a lot of the nutritional qualities. I am learning about getting whole wheat berries and grinding them to preserve more of the nutrients, but I'm not there yet.
Whole wheat flour is very clean, too. The point was that food purity regarding bugs, sticks, rocks, etc., is much better now.
my great grandmother's recipes - we have to follow her 1890]s measurements- ex" a cup meant a tea cup= a teaspoon was the spoon she used to measure the tea leaves- tablespoon meant the large spoon which they used for soup (No soup spoons then) no measuring spoons marked 1/2 or 1/4 - an 1/8 tsp was a pinch a 1/4 tsp was a nice pinch-1/2 tsp a good pinch(which was more) and my favorite was 2 good double pinches - when we tried to make things using modern measuring utensils it never came out right- so we used our table and teaspoons. as for the cup- we used a good china cup(which are smaller than todays tea cups or even a measuring cup - and the recipe came out much better- they used what they had- have also found this to be true with some of my vintage recipe books
So have I. Great tip.
Love all your videos but notice that your eyes ‘smile’ so much when you are outside and in the greenhouse with the plants. Snapdragons are my grandsons’ favourite flower! Thanks, Chelsea!
You had me at tomato soup! I love soup. I could eat it every day. 1906. If we could only go back in time……..
That is so crazy your just planting collard greens and mine are now going to seed, wow! #keepgrowingveggies, hugs! NW GA
Tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, one of my favorites. Soup looked very tasty. Thanx for sharing. 😃
Onions are stored commercially for a very very long time and often have mold under the dry lauet and even one below.
It caused excessive gass.
So warning to all of us using store-bought onions.
Btw - beautiful farm kitchen!
I have this cookbook! I inherited it. It's a crazy read!
These recipes are so awesome to hear/watch. It’s so cool how simple they were but also highlights how “common knowledge” a lot of things were so it didn’t really need to be said. I probably would’ve failed miserably back then because I’ve had to teach myself everything I know so far about cooking/baking and RUclips has been a big part of that 😂
That book is such a treasure! You need one of those book holders that holds the book open in a gentle “V”, if that makes sense. So it is not completely flat and is supported. I would LOVE to have a book like that!
Hi! I love watching you because you don't edit everything out and it's good to know I'm not the only one surfing the learning curve. ;0) Thank you for sharing. Love, respect and blessings.
Thanks! I have to admit to being tempted to edit the mistakes out, but the world is full enough of the appearance of perfection and perfect, I am not.
That is how we make pumpkin pie, egg whites folded in, that is how grandma, great grandma and all my great uncles and aunts cooked. Best food in the world. My grandmother took her apricots and stewed them in the freezer and in the winter, she made upside down gingerbread apricot cakes with brown sugar icing. Was the best of the best food going.
I’ve just found your channel and love all you do. Now going to binge on your videos and try new things. Watching from Australia 😊
Sifting does make difference! Sifting allows for a fluffier whatever you’re making. If not sifted, the outcome will prove to be more dense. 😊
Fences are good! They're like having good boundaries in your life.
Thank you very much I will do the two recipe’s for sure 💕
Sifting flour was because back then they ground wheat into flour, but sifted out the germ and outer fiber for making pastry flour. Since 1920's flour has been separated into bags of shelf stable flour, it just took a while for recipes to be written differently. Now days we rarely see sift flour in s recipe.
I was just going to say the same. My Grandma told me this and she was a wonderful baker
Makes sense and good to know since it’s an added pain in the butt! Lol
I still sift all my flour.
It makes cakes more airy and fluffy
I'M HAPPY TO SEE YOU HAPPY IN YOUR GREEN HOUSE
Awesome job ❣️ I love that old fashion style for cooking, even with all the longtime tough work and time ( 20 min ) but these days it’s okay to shorten it up 🥰
Now you need some geese 🪿 and animals to eat all of your waste, pigs 🐷 are Allesfresser ,you can feed them with all kind of stuff you would place out on a Komposth .
I hope I didn't bump any seedlings while sitting your seedling shelf, LOL. Felt like I was just sitting there watching you work. I also love tea towels that are cotton and absorbent like an old feed bag. Love that you save that one snapdragon just to admire it and bring you joy.
Your plants look so healthy. That soup looked delicious.
I miss my grandma
❤ wish my grandma's would have been around to teach me! Hugs to you 🤗
I love your videos! I worked in a library for 17 years and we had a collection of old books. I would suggest wearing gloves when handling the books that are that old because the oils from your skin can damage the pages.
Your food always looks so delicious! That cake looks very similar to a souffle recipe that my mom used to make. You know, I think you must have the nicest viewers of any RUclips channel I watch! You get such beautiful things from people! You have such a kind demeanor, it must be infectious through the screen 😊
My grandmother said you used to sift flour because there could be Flour Beetles and if your flour got damp it could get chunky.
Interesting
In England we call them Weavels
@@lisalouise999 yes, we call them Weevil in the U.S. too. May depend on the different parts of the country. I am not sure.
One must always choose the lesser of two weevils.
@@lisalouise999I’m in the US and have always called them weavels
Hi! I just happened to catch this right away! Happy Sunday!
Excited for this growing season and 'walking' through the garden 'with you'. Wonderful to have your greenhouse in your garden area! Soup look very good, glad to hear the cake was light & fluffy, like the lemony frosting idea!
It's said that fences make good neighbors ❣️👍🏻🤷🏼♀️
I had a cookbook that called for beating the cookie dough for 20 minutes also! I don’t have the cookbook now but I always thought it was a misprint! The recipe wasn’t anything unusual so 20 minutes beating must have been a thing!! Love your cooking!
Can't beat homemade soup, no matter what.
I use roasted tomatoes, bell peppers, onions, and garlic.
It takes more time to roast tomatoes before canning, but it's worth it, just like roasting beef and chicken bones for broth.
Never have added squash before.
But do add splashes of soy and worcestershire sauces.
The old paragraph form of recipes were called receipts which I found interesting 🤔 I found this out on a USA utuber who are also late 1700’s to early 1800’s reenactors and on her channel Early American she makes vintage recipes (receipts) using very early cookbooks and the fireplace.
The soup looked so creamy. I have alot of my Mother's cookbooks. She loved to collect them, I love them too. I got her cookbooks when she passed away. The cake looked so yummy. I love lemon anything. Thanks for bringing us to the greenhouse.❤❤❤
I love how realistic you are! I can relate to you so well thank you!
I have a large collection of cotton teatowels. I bought them on my trips, so I not only have a memento but a very useful item. I have a kitchen drawer full of them! They have lasted so long that I have stopped buying them! lol
They are wonderful! I had no idea!
We use "flour sack" towels. With a large family, I have sewed two together as they are what we use to dry our dishes. They are great for glassware as it leaves no lint. I have been taught that terry cloth towels are hand towels and the tea towels are for clean dishes only. It makes me cringe when my houseful of men grab my tea towels and use them in ways that could stain their prettiness. In my kitchen I have terry cloth hand towels, tea towels for clean dishes and small dish clothes to wipe up messes.
You are truly such a joy to watch. ❤
Everything's looking great, Chelsea! Roll on Spring!
I absolutely love old cookbooks!
All four of my grandparents were born in 1906. Makes me think that my great grandmothers may have come from those if it was popular in New Brunswick Canada. ❤
My grandma (born in 1908) used to make Sunshine cake. She always used the pan with the removable bottom.It was so tall. I’ve tried a few times but it was usually half the size. She would use a dozen eggs in one cake, You have inspired me to try again.
An angel food cake pan.
An Angel food cake ❣️👌🏻
Amazing kitchen creations, wonderful planting tips & a fun time spent watching you get so much done! Thanks for sharing & blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
I love gates! There are so many different styles.
That cookbook myself I would buy a stand for it to rest on and display it for all to see. That is just amazing! You are so lucky to have that treasure. The cake looks great especially with a nice hot cup of tea or coffee. I am a soup gal. I make it a lot. What better way to use up veggies etc. especially now a days with the prices of things. Great video Chelsea Thank you
Just found your channel and subscribed... look forward to seeing more. Love your content!💯
I always enjoy your videos!
Looks Great !
Thanks for the baking soda trick, one reason I don't make homemade tomato soup is the curdling milk.
I use those kind of tea towels ,love them !
I love vintage recipes! I have one from the 50's that has a recipe for spiced blueberries that is fantastic! Old is new again. 😍
Love the look and feel of those old cookbooks! But I gasped when I saw the lemon juice squirt onto the pages! 😮
Here’s a hack I use when I’m making on of my mom’s recipes: I take a picture of it and follow it from my phone, so as not to accidentally damage the original recipe! 💞
dont think you need to beat that long,no electric mixer in those days, my mom beat by hand, i’m 87 born in 1937.
I also love old cookbooks. The Anakarsrum is an excellent mixer. I've had mine for almost four years. I no longer experience mixer dancing, which occasionally happened with my Kitchen-Aid mixer. I love the Vita-Mix also. I've used their blenders since my daughter was a toddler. She'll be 21 next month. :)
You are amazing! I love your videos!
Chelsea, if you plant your snapdragons horizontally - or pin the ends down w/a twig/etc - you will increase the number of bloom shoots at least 10X. They will put out a flower stem at every leaf axis.
I’ll try that!
Am such an Afictionado of Antique Cookbooks😍I have several myself and the recipes are so delicious❣️Thank you for sharing these Fabulous Recipes🙏🏼🥰
Hi Chelsea, your tomato soup looks absolutely delicious! I can almost taste it! Thank you for sharing your recipe, I’ll definitely make it!! 😋
I thought of you when I went to a thrift store and found a 1936 Hershey’s cookbook! 🥰 I’m keeping my eyes open for more, so thank you!
I enjoy all your videos and I totally agree that your voice is very soothing and sweet! 💛
I use butter to can tomato soup and also i added milk. I never made homemade tomato soup but yours look absolutely fabulous. God bless you for what you bring to us.
Your soup looks so yummy!!❤️
Love you Chelsea! Happy spring!
Love you, too!♥️
First time watching. Remember, that very probably the cake was made before everyone had electricity, so the beating X 20 mins was done by hand!😳 lol I get what you said about the recipe. I make Rappie Pie, which the first recipe I’d ever seen for it called for a “peck of potatoes, and a brace of rabbits”. Thankfully I (a now US citizen, via over half my life spent in Alberta), had a mum in law from Yarmouth, NS, who taught me how to make one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Nice channel, I subscribed and will stay awhile. 😊 A blessed Mother’s Day to all watching. ❤️
I didnt realize how invested l was in the video, but I found myself urgently talking to you as you put the cake ingredients together… I was panicking lol! The food looked amazing! Glad it all turned out delicious!❤
Look at the color of them eggs.I had to use store eggsand some farm fresh it was so funny the color are so different..
Thank you for the video.
I also miss Canada 🇨🇦
Hello, I just wanted to say that I love your channel. Your voice is very calm and easy to listen to. Lol😂 I know a weird thing to say. The knowledge you are sharing is awesome. You are incredibly organized. You make a person feel like it is totally possible to get things done! Like someone said in another comment. You get more things done in a day that many would take 2 weeks to do. I have to imagine that planning and preparation play a big role in getting things done. But from your videos, I have seen you also pivot when an idea doesn't pan out and you tweak things to get the result you are looking for, such as in the terraced garden area and you had the tractor assist in what you were trying to do. I love the example you are giving your kids. You sound like an incredible person to get to know. I am sure in the background it can be a crazy and beautiful life. I hope you keep making content.
Thanks again!
Hey, thank you so much, your comment made my day. Oddly enough, I get comments about my videos and voice being calming on almost every video, which makes me very happy. If there’s one thing we could all use right now it’s a little calm and peace so if I can contribute to that I’m glad to.
And yes, it’s a madhouse here sometimes, but becoming less so as my kids get older.
I am definitely going to use your soup recipe! Thank you! For old cookbooks, do you think the mixing/beating times would need to be adjusted for using my mixer? Because mixing with my mixer is probably way more effective faster than by hand? I also have a couple old recipes I've been holding onto to try.
The baking soda makes it more alkaline thereby not so acidic. It’s what people used to use for indigestion before the pills.
The baking soda is a base the tomatoes have an acid in them so the baking soda counteracts the acid in the tomatoes to allow you to add the milk the reason it foams is the reaction between the base and the baking soda and the acid and the tomatoes
Thank you
Enjoyed the video 😊
The comment about husbands being head of the household reminds me of the ladies I knew in the 60's when I was growing up who would say, tongue in cheek, "The husband is the head of the house ,,, but the wife is the neck ,,, and the neck turns the head." As a kid, I knew even though they all took great care to defer to their husbands that they did indeed set the course. So you triggered a memory that makes me smile.
Nice !! Thankyou…💕
oh my gosh that cook book 💕I want that tomato soup and the little cake looks like it would taste so refreshing. I love touching my seedlings too and I know it makes them happy :) Snap dragons are one of my favorites too. I'm exhausted after watching you in this video because I know this was just a smidgen of your day. hugs and luv
Thanks for sharing.
Soup and cake looks great! Plants are certainly doing well. I am running out of room as well and still have more to start - time to get innovative!
I enjoyed watching you today. I love watching cooking shows. (I also live in WL!!!)😊.
Adding the squash to tomato soup intrigues me. It looks delicious!
I know! It sounds strange, but I also add it to pasta sauce. It adds a sweetness, depth or just something!
We too love homemade cream of tomato soup, or tomato bisque.
Nice 👌😃😃
I can remember my grandmother using those cotton tea towels (damp) to cover her bread bowl in the fridge. I imagine the wetness would close the weave-gaps minimizing evaporation, and the extra moisture would replace any moisture lost. I don't know if it works as well as plastic, though, as I don't make bread.
I joined the Gingiber tea towel a month club...love them. Designs are beautiful. They are all I use now. Wash great too.
I’m going to have to do that! They are so beautiful.
I love old recipes. Healthier, too. I use the same brand of olive oil, mmmhmmm!
Is the longer mixing time because it may have been beaten by hand back then?
We used to sift everything (60s and 60s.) Now Mom's beautiful old sifter is on a shelf on my kitchen. ❤
just a thought but if the book is that old you should consider ( if you haven't done so already) having the recipes scanned ( by a professional if not yourself ) for future generations.
I actually mentioned that also.
I make a similar soup and I add a drizzle of white truffle oil when I serve it up. Puts it over the top. :)
Where did you get that opener you used for your tomatoes? I love that
Do you get your older cooks books in thrift stores? I love old ones, too. We live in a very little town in Northern California on the coast, and we have 1 thrift store. It is so much fun with old ones. Thank you for sharing ❤ 13:49
Yes, when I’m lucky enough. Our thrift stores aren’t the best for old cookbooks but eBay is!
@@LittleMountainRanch oh never thought eBay thank you 😊
I myself would have added the roasted veggies in the blender with some of the soup first than added back to the pot!!
I like it super smooth, including the tomatoes, but if you like a little texture that would work!
Looks like corn bread! Lol blackened is the best!
