Seriously? People moan about things like cream of whatever soup? Anna, you and your cooking are just lovely. Please don't be discouraged by a minority of people that have no manners and no taste! 😊
Thank you. ❤ Hopefully I didn't come across as too cranky in the opening. The comments I receive are wonderful about 85% - 90% of the time!
People moan about everything these days 😅. A lot of people need to learn the art of "just keep scrolling."
@@cooking_the_booksI have used cream of whatever many times fixing food for my boys and their friends to stretch the food . Nothing wrong with using it IMO. I know I never got any complaints and not a child left my home hungry that was the main thing. I knew they were some that ate with us that was their food for the day .
Great video Great job like always. 😊
God bless you for feeding hungry kids - too many in that situation ... 😔@@SuzieQ-lw2kp
@@cooking_the_books
I haven't seen the video yet - but, pics seem to show a lot of hamburger - it was cheap in the 70s - really cheap 🍀
For those of you who get cranky, aside from being rude, this is a show of vintage recipes and cream of chicken and cream of mushroom were king in the 70s and 80s. Get a grip and enjoy the show. I love these 70s and 80s videos they bring back memories. I thank you. 🙂
Glad my videos bring back memories for you! ❤
OMG..... ROL😂
Oh my yes. I grew up in the 70s and if they would have had the flavors we have today meals would have been so different. Those bake in a bag things were very popular in the late 70s and 80s. That drives folks nuts too I have noticed. Different times different ideas about nutrition. In 20 years folk are going to be calling food now gross.
@@TracyShead-Stamey I'm 60 and I grew up with these recipes 🤗. One thing now is that's big is spices. Spices were sprace back in the day. 💞
@@emily--m I know. Why is actually tasting the food such a bad thing. I use spice very sparingly. I want to taste the veggies and meat. I don't want a mouthful of paprika and garlic powder. There is a time and place for spices but for the most part let the natural flavors sing.
I was a newlywed in the ‘70s. It was a terribly difficult time economically: interest rates were sky high, heating oil was expensive, oil became embargoed by OPEC causing gas rationing, the Watergate instability was going on, and most women didn’t yet work outside the home, etc. After rent and basic bills, out of a $269 paycheck we had exactly $70 (1972 dollars) left for groceries and gas for two weeks: but I remember ground meat was $0.79/pound the day I got married, and there were no fat content percentages listed on the packages. CAMPBELL’s soups were about $0.18/can, the ones I used. There was no internet to use to collect recipes, just collecting from relatives and friends, newspapers and magazines, and the labels and boxes of products. Good cookbooks were expensive. The little recipe books available at the cash register lanes at checkouts in grocery stores were cheap and chock-full of ideas to save money. As a newlywed who had never cooked a thing in my life, Betty Crocker and Bisquick were my pantry lifesavers . . . then came Ragu and Italian food adventures! Crazy days back then, but fondly evoked by your channel. Thank you.
I LOVE those little grocery store checkout books! ❤
Thank you so much for this story. I really love reading these little slices of life......
I was a bride in 1975 and my grocery budget was $19 a week.
Your story reminded my of my parents. They were raising four kids in the 70s and every penny counted.
I also love those little recipe books. When I moved from France, I brought mine with me!
I didn’t know cream soup was so controversial.. I thought everyone used it lol 😂
What I mostly see are recipes or RUclipsrs that advertise certain recipes as having "no cream of anything soup" like it's virtue signaling or something.
🤣🤣🤣Virtue signaling is a perfect description. We less enlightened folks still use canned cream soups and can’t afford organic chickens. I actually saw another RUclipsr attacked for using whole chicken on sale from Walmart. Talk about elitism!
Lol nope I don't. But I don't go around complaining to people who do. Lol.
I think it is the sodium content for those that have to restrict the salt intake, but these recipes don't have additional salt anyway. I still use cream of whatever kind soups and I'm 85 so it hasn't killed me yet. I love her vintage recipes.
Yes! Virtue signaling! Or... whoever eats the least amount of canned cream soup in their lifetime wins.
Not Anna in her baddie era telling the haters to back off . Werk. Icon 😂❤.
😂❤😂
My mom was gone from 6 in the morning until 6 at night. She was raising 3 kids on her own. She was tired, when I was around 15 I started cooking dinner for the family. For those of us without a lot of experience and for those who were exhausted those cream soups were a lifesaver. It meant you could make something creamy without having to make a from scratch cream sauce. And I like the casseroles we made; I still make them. Don't understand why anyone would complain, if you want complicated, go watch the food network.
These recipes always take me back to my childhood. I often cook food like this when I am missing my parents, or just being beaten up by life. I am so glad your channel exists. Thanks, Anna.
You’re underrated, Anna.
I have a feeling that’s about to change.
@alijane6675 I do, too! We can all say, sometime in the not-too-distant future, "We knew her when.." Ha!
Go, Anna, go!
I feel like hamburger + cream of mushroom soup was the basis of 30% of the meals my mom cooked in the 70s. 😂 Both are still helpful for families on a budget!
Chicken divan too lol
My Momma too!
The 70s into the 80s was one long soup based casserole. (or hot dish)
Lot of flavor in cream of mushroom soup too, so easy for a quick cook.
My Mon didn't make rice. We had crackers to stretch chili cut the heat. I've found rice is so much cheaper. And can stretch almost any meal
Random thought. I have crohns disease and have been admitted to the hospital WAY too many times. Usually on a full liquid diet. Hence a large amount of cream of whatever soup. Its now known as cream of crap affectionately in my house. But i do still love it.
I think when my mom made the souperburger recipe she added Worcestershire sauce. That boosted the flavor.
I grew in the 60s and 70s and my mom was a great cook. She made almost everything from scratch, but when she discovered the joys of Cream of Mushroom soup she made a stroganoff to die for! I have my grandmother's homemade cookbook that has recipes clipped from newspapers in the 40s and 50s. Some recipes with ingredients you can't find anymore. I love to read her book just for the memories. I've been in a "love vintage everything mood" for the last few months, so I really enjoy your channel. Keep the recipes coming, because you are much loved by this community!💖
@gopugmama4408 I hope you will leave that book to someone in your family who will appreciate it. And if you don't have anyone who will appreciate it, perhaps have it mailed to Anna!
I grew up in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s, so this is my comfort food!
What's interesting to me about the "souperburger" recipe is that it's essentially just creamed chipped beef on toast, which is a recipe that outdates it by at least 30yrs.
We called that white or blonde sloppy Joe's.
@@luvzdogz Interesting!
My hubby happened to be watching with me and said that it was mushroom SOS , lol. You are on the money!
How about naming it a Creamy Souper Joe😁☺️
Chipper Joe
My mother told me that using cream soups became the norm because it was easier then making a bechamel sauce.
Its the same thing, just from scratch.
I rarely keep canned soups around so that’s what I do, bechamel first. So versatile.
@@ManyaP64 Yes, I love it, its so versatile. When she told me that it was like a new world opened up.
But it is a skill that takes time and sometimes an extra dish to clean. So I can see why people would want to use a canned soup. Now, depending on the dish, I'll use a canned soup.
I grew up in the ‘70’s and remember my mom giving us Chunky Beef Soup over rice, franks and beans, and tuna macaroni salad. My kids would kill me lol .
When I subscribed to your channel, I knew what I was getting into. Having been born in 1969, raised by a mother bornin 1932, and having received a Campbell's cookbook at my bridal shower, I know and am perfectly okay with cream soup being used, as well as plain old-fashioned cooking. What is wrong with these people...I am thrilled that younger people like you are reviving my childhood with these dishes!
The burger recipe reminds me of hamburger stroganoff without the sour cream. Stroganoff has hamburger, onion, canned mushrooms, mushroom soup, and sour cream served over egg noodles.
Egg noodles too
Interesting recipes. I was in 4-H, too. I'm sorry people can't just enjoy your videos without commenting on ingredients. I have several food allergies, but I just enjoy your presentations and the nostalgia. When you make these dishes, I can remember my mom or grandmothers teaching me how to cook 😊
I know, right? I have severe Crohn's disease and a very restrictive diet. I love this channel!
The fact that you had to put the disclaimer in at the beginning because of trolls in the comments is so sad. Those people are pathetic and need to shut up and click elsewhere.
Now, here sit the rest of us enjoying your channel and being happy to see a new video has posted! :)
I tend to get unnecessarily mean comments about a couple of ingredients - cream soup and processed cheese being the top two. 😂
I will never understand people posting negative/hateful comments when all they have to do is not watch. They need to move on. Me and hubby love you and your videos. ❤️🥰❤️
I won't lie, I love learning new "cream of whatever" soup recipes. When I have time, I'll make them with a homemade white sauce, and when I need a fast meal, I'll make the cream soup version. We call it the "soccer mom" version in my house. True win!
That souperburger would be delicious over mashed potatoes
This isn’t the meatball channel 😂
I’m joining the wave of “if you don’t like what you see, keep scrolling and sthu!”
You and your channel are awesome. Keep on keepin’ on! ❤
If you had macaroni or rice and a can of:
Cream of Mushroom
Cream of Chicken
Cream of Celery
You had the start of a great meal
We all like what we like. If someone doesnt like cream soups, they dont have to indulge. They are restricting their perspectives about your message tho--and I hope they can learn to appreciate the sense of history you are sharing with your beloved collection. Since these people assume you are insisting they stop whatever they are doing and make what you have filmed, then please let me be the first to direct them to the tuna ring video.😅
Yes, I would LOVE to see someone drop everything and make a tuna gelatin ring! 😂
🤣🤣🤣👍👏👏👏👏Touché 😁
@@cooking_the_books
😂😂😂😊😁
I'm living for the slightly spicy energy coming into '24. I love your authentic takes on the vintage recipies
😂 Thank you! I had a hunch I'd hear some negative comments about using cream soup and decided to nip it in the bud right away.
I inherited a cook book from my grandmother who has since passed away, Woman’s Home Companion Cook book copyright 1942. Have you ever come across this in your travels? Of course it’s from the 2nd world war so there are a lot of substitutions due to rations. It’s my plan to delve into this book eventually.. maybe when I retire? lol. It’s so fascinating! There are instructions on how to set a table, how to carve meat, formal teas etc! I am so happy that I have a piece of my grandma with me❤️
I believe I have a copy in my collection, but mine might be from a different year.
Oh my gosh!! Those 'souper burgers' are what we called 'sloppy joes' growing up!! I didn't have the red sauce sloppy joes until I was well into high school. I always thought my grandma invented it because she hates tomatoes, it's so cool to see it was an actual thing.
👍☺️
Sloppy Joes are still a staple in our family!
Same here
Omg you should totally dress up
In 70’s now the 80’s to film your show 😊
My mom was a cashier at Kroger for 39 years. She remembers the frozen soup. She said she didn’t get that product or why they made it. I asked if she remembered when they stopped selling it but she doesn’t. She said once you thawed it, you had to use it right away. No storing in the fridge
Thank you for this info! I've been so curious about it.
I love all your videos and your infectious, happy attitude Anna. It is hard to believe that people would actually give you negative feedback over cream soups. Sheesh, I think they need to lighten up. If you don't like cream soups....don't make the darn recipe or make it using something you do like. The end.
Exactly!!! And I really enjoy the videos too🥰
I think Anna is very informative and explains things very well. She does have a very warm, down to earth personality.
I always feel so uplifted while (and after) watching your videos, Anna 🥰
Keep up the great work 😉👍🕊
This is not the meatball channel… you are very funny … in addition to everything else great about your content here.
“This is not the meatball channel.” 😂
You seem like you’re being harassed, Take heart I was just commend you on your wonderful channel and you’re cooking right in the 70s where I was. Thank you so much.
Campbell's now has no salt added cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups, for anyone who may need to restrict their sodium intake. It might make these recipes a little more expensive, though
Also fat free versions (even Wal-Mart has their own label of that variety)
Haters gonna hate, Anna. Let the negative comments blow away if you can, as these trolls don’t obviously have a clue that your channel is about cooking with vintage cookbooks. If you grew up in the 60’s and 70’s as I did, these recipes are a comforting reminder of simpler, better days. Just last night I made a tuna casserole using cream of mushroom soup. It was a recipe my late Grandmother used to make for me and I ate it and remembered her love for me. Keep up the good work!
I love the nostalgia in these recipes 😊
I’ve come to the conclusion that the people who say they hate cream of soups are just lying. Unless someone has a dairy allergy, there is absolutely nothing wrong with cream of soups. They are fine and make delicious casseroles! I don’t want to eat a bowl of cream of onion soup, but I guarantee I can turn it into a delicious meal!
I know that Campbells and Franco American were the same company because my friend's father worked for Campbell Soup company. They had a full pantry of spaghetto's, canned spaghetti, along with cans of soup. they also had so much promotional stuff for campbells and franco american (plate and silverware sets, aprons, potholders, mugs, etc). When she went to college out of state, her father would send her cases of soup. Personally, I love canned soup....and haters need to find another channel.
To the Trolls, Complainers and Crabby Patties, you need to get a grip ! Seriously, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all !
Thank you, Anna. I love all your enthusiasm and your love of vintage cookbooks and recipes. I’m envious of your vintage dishes, reminds me of my childhood. Sending ❤ from Indiana
Crabby Patties! 😂
@@cooking_the_books Crabby Patties is what my Sponge Bob loving grandkids call a grouchy person. 🤣 I get all my trendy banter from them. ❤️ Take care.
In my experience trolls are everywhere on social media and miserable complaining people with opinions are EVERYWHERE!! Ignore them those of us who love you are here for your imperfect lovely videos. You are the relaxed real wind down moment in my very busy day. I get a ton of inspiration from your vintage recipes. Do you lady we are here for it. ❤
I love that you were in 4H. ❤
I loved it!!
“Cream of” anything soup is so easy to make for those who don’t like it! Or sour cream with extra spices works too!
You can also make a roux with flour and oil, add cream, milk or broth spices and/or seasonings and make your own sauces to use in place of canned soups. That way you can control the salt content.
I don't mind canned cream of whatever cooking, I grew up on it and have had many tasty dishes prepared that way. I do think a lot of people don't like them just because rich food snobs on cooking channels have told them they're bad or trashy, which reeks of classism. I think others think they're too salty as well, but you can get low-sodium versions of most cream soups these days, so you can control the salt content yourself. Otherwise, they should quit complaining about how other people choose to cook and learn to make a bechamel sauce, which they can then substitute for any cream soup.
my friend discovered the ground beef/mushroom soup dish back in the 70s when we were all newly married and poor. she served it over mashed potatoes. it quickly became a regular on all our meal plans and even made it to a few pot lucks. thanks for the memory.
Chicken Gumbo makes excellent sloppy joes 😋
I'd be willing to bet that the Souper Burger recipe you remember also included some dried onion soup as well. That would pretty much address everything you found lacking in the recipe as is.
The rumor is true, the Detroit Lions are one win away from playing in the Superbowl....Maybe next year Browns!!! Love ya Anna and your content! Tina from Michigan
Condensed soup to rescue again. Able to leap a stalk of celery in a single BOUND!!
😂😂😂
My mom made a dish called meatballs and rice. She made meatballs and browned them then used cream of celery soup and milk. I still make it today
Sounds tasty! 😋
I LOVE cooking with cream soups. There! I said it.
The soupburger recipe reminded me of bit of Swedish Meatbals just deconstructed and without the rice. I bet it would be really good served over rice and would bulk out the servings without having to serve any extra sides.
Oh wow I didn't know Swedish meatballs were served with rice
I don't know how I would have been able to cook without "cream of" soups. 40 yrs and still use them when I need to. Pot roasts, Creamy Swiss steak, Swedish meatballs and meatball stews, and a hundred different casseroles. I'm a comfort food cook, one pot, crock pot & oven baked casseroles are my style. Hail the "cream of" soups!👍🏻❤️
For the burgers, a dash of Worcestershire sauce will take it a long way, as well as thinning the sauce with a little milk. And for the croquettes, classic croquettes are based on a thick bechamel, or what my mom and my home ec teacher called white sauce. I learned the cornstarch variant, which is milk, cornstarch, butter, salt and pepper. In my teens I worked at a cafe whose big secret was a drop of Tabasco in their white gravy, literally not enough to really discern the heat, which brightened the flavor.
WAIT A MINUTE!! WHERE is the meatball channel?? I need that in my life! 😅 😂
I did enjoy it. Your dry humor kills me. 😂
When I was a kid, my Mom always made sloppy Joes with Campbell's chicken gumbo soup and mustard. Sounds disgusting but it was really good. Even my little friends loved them. I just never told them how it was made. Lol
Many people have mentioned the chicken gumbo version in my comments. It seems to be a favorite and I think I need to try it! 😊
Sorry you are getting negative comments from people who don’t get the premise of your channel. I look forward to your videos! A shot of nostalgia and your happy attitude are a great combination.
Thank you. ❤ I think more of the people who stumble upon my videos are getting it now, but a few unpleasant comments still sneak their way in sometimes. 😂
That skillet Roma would be great recipe for summer, when friends and neighbors are showering you with free garden stuff, lol. I’m not a gardener either, so I appreciate those who do!
You are so right! 😊
Oh yes, we grow tomatoes and zucchini in our garden!
Looks kind of like a maid-rite. Old church cookbooks are the best!
I just want you to know that we love what you are doing, so please keep doing what you love with making these videos. I enjoy watching everything you make in here, even the cookbook flip throughs. There will always be haters and negative Nancy's, but just ignore those comments; it's just noise. We are cheering for you and love you ❤️
Thank you. ❤ I started getting more views on my channel around 6 months ago. I'm SO happy and grateful for my wonderful viewers, but more eyes on my videos unfortunately can mean more haters. 😂
Cream soups are a no for gluten and dairy restrictions, but all one needs to do is make a roux with your gf and/or vegan replacement and add whatever flavor.
I just came across your channel; btought back forgotten memories of myself as a brand new homemaker in the 70's. I married in 1974, as most newlyweds then, we had a tight budget that first year. I remember having Campbells soup cookbooks, used them often. Such a fun video of years gone by. Thanks for the memories!
I never frown upon using a cream soup in a recipe, I've made some great meals with them. People will complain just about anything these days... I loved this video Anna, thanks for sharing. The Chicken Croquettes looked tasty!
This is not the meatball channel! Crack me up. That Roma recipe looks like it would be good on pasta. Make it go further without much expense. Thanks girl!
Sorry folks-not sorry but I still love cream of mushroom soup.
LOVE IT!!!!!
We used to have the souper with noodles instead of buns for our 7 member family.
I grew up in the 1960’s and remember something similar to the Souperburgers. I think I would add some Worcestershire sauce, mushrooms and garlic powder to the skillet with the canned soup to give it more flavor. And I would add more liquid, maybe beef broth, and simmer it a while longer. It would be good over rice. Thanks for all the info you give on the cookbooks. ❤
Had to comment a second time. I'm not sure if alphabet soup is still made, but I remember in Home Economics class in 1969, we meal a souper burger mix using condensed alphabet soup instead of a cream soup. Cooking with canned soups really was a thing in the 60's and through the 80's. Flavorful and economical.
There’s a recipe in an earlier Campbells book called “Skillet Franks and Noodles” that I loved as a kid and still do to this day. My children renamed it Weinies Alfredo😂
Oh my gosh, I definitely need to seek out this recipe! 😂
@@cooking_the_books it’s in the red 1974 edition “Cooking with Soup” on page 11. My mother first found the recipe in a magazine many years before that, though.
My WWII Navy veteran dad would have called the first dish "shit on a shingle." (He was a sailor, after all!) Basically ground beef made with its own gravy from the juices and served on white bread. We had this many times as a kid.
Not the meatball channel? Who knew???😃😃😃
Souper burger: First... if someone doesn't like canned cream soup, just make your own! It's not hard. I make homemade cream of mushroom with portabellas that is fantastic! Also... you could just use ground pork, and sub sage, a whiff of curry powder, and black pepper for the mustard, and you'd have "Biscuits and gravy" burgers!
What!?! This isn’t the Meatball Channel!?!? 😂😂😂Fun vid!
The meatball channel 😂good one!
Love you cutting down the recipes, it's just me. I also enjoy a good cream of soup.
People can be lame.. I love that you said.. just don’t make these recipes.. lol I mean, people.. really? 😂
These all looked so good! And wow! That frozen soup! I want those to come back!
3:01 I just had a Mr. Rogers dejavu moment.
That's the vibe I aim for! 😂
I barely remember Campbell's frozen soups from my childhood. The frozen potato soup was divine. It could be eaten hot or cold (for vichyssoise). It was nothing like the current canned potato soup. I remember when a lot of people got very sick from an outbreak of a food-borne illness (botulism?) that I think was tied to these soups. Shortly afterward, the frozen soups disappeared. I don't know if these two events were related, and the memories are pretty fuzzy. I would love to see a return of Campbell's frozen soups!
I just discovered this video and I remember these kinds of recipes. My mom made alot of these recipes. Yes they used alot of cream of whatever soups. Nostalgia at it's finest.
TY for the memories.
Ignore the complainers.
Don't change anything!❤
I have so few memories of my mom (I'm a younger-at-the-time stroke survivor, so I've forgotten a lot), BUT! The kielbasa and cabbage sparked a memory of my mother's cooking. Thank you.
So glad my video could spark some nice memories. ❤
Everybody and her dog are experts regarding diets these days, right? I have no problem using a can of cream of chicken or mushroom to throw together a casserole once in awhile that I know I'll eat. I'm 70, in good health and the doc is very happy with my labs, lol. Anyway, I own a 1982 revised edition of Campbell's Cooking with Soup book (and it says mine is a 15th printing). My book now has plenty of grease stains and is falling apart. I was 29 back then and probably picked it up at a garage sale, knowing me. The souperburger recipe was one I evidently made a few times but had crossed through the ingredient of mustard, lol. Not only that, I'm very sure I made it up and served it on toast as a gravy rather than made a sandwich, and I'd do that again in a heartbeat and might use ground sausage the next time. I tend to be very frugal and only buy marked down or cheaper cuts of meat whenever I can. I prefer chicken thighs over breasts any day of the week.
I know the grease stains and discolorations came from my trying the paella recipe found on page 92 of my book. I've modified it by using cubed chicken bouillon instead of the condensed chicken broth, and a can of stewed tomatoes instead of regular canned tomatoes. This isn't the traditional Spanish paella with the added sausage or fish; you just use chicken parts and fry them well on both sides, lol. Talk about having a good flavor, it's great because it's a complete meal, and the rice tastes great fixed this way. You fry the chicken well, remove the excess oil, stir minced clove garlic and your chicken bouillon together, cover and simmer the meat for 15-20 minutes, then you add in raw rice and tomatoes, cover again and cook on low till the rice is done. The flavor is absolutely delicious.
Comfort food at its best ! I was a teenager in the 70’s so it’s right up my alley
That's one thing I won't skimp on. Canned soups. I have to always buy Campbell's soup. The off brand just doesn't taste the same. I don't usually like to buy canned soups because I like to make my own. But, when I do buy canned soups it definitely has to be Campbell's.
Love your shows, takes me back to the days of growing up. I am going to try these recipes. Thank you for a wonderful show!
I was born in the 60’s, so these are comfort food.. Thank you Anna for sharing them.
So glad you enjoyed these! 😊
Anna, you do such a great job. Please stop being so hard on yourself. You don't owe an explanation. And those croquettes look good, minus the celery for me.
I love your videos, it’s like memory lane. My mom used to add cream of mushroom soup to our macaroni and cheese. I personally don’t care for canned soup so I always find a replacement or make from scratch. Keep following those recipes and don’t apologize. Campbells was king in the 60’s and 70’s.
I remember my mom made a potato, cream of celery, spam and onion casserole topped with a little cheese. Such a comfort food throwback. I still make a vegetarian version of it now and again -makes me feel like a kid again. Thanks for all you do!!
I'm not sure I make these recipes anymore. But it was so nostalgic to remember that growing up this is exactly what we ate. I still use a variation of a Campbell's mushroom soup Fried chicken gravyI'm so glad I found your channel !
For the croquettes if you don’t want to use the soup, you could do an egg with some bouillon - I’d stir some powdered bouillon into the scrambled egg to not miss out on the flavor!!
Love these recipes! Love Campbell's Soup recipes! I grew up in the 60's and 70's and these soup recipes are such comfort foods. Thank you, Anna. 😊 A "Souper" easy recipe good enough for company dinner made for us by friends way back in 1974 which I've made from her recipe for 50 years now is as follows: Prepare a pound of egg noodles (or fettuccine pasta) as directed on package then drain out water and place cooked pasta back in the pot. Add 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 2/3 cup sour cream, 2/3 cup milk, 2 Tbsp soy sauce and 1 Tbsp poppy seeds. Stir until combined then stir in 2 cups cubed cooked chicken of choice. Note: You can add sauteed mushrooms. 😁 This was first served at our friend's dinner with green peas, corn and salad with a delicious Jell-O based dessert. Delicious!!!
Sounds like an excellent meal to me! 😋
@@cooking_the_books Yes! 😋 I hope you get to try it! 🤗
Sounds like a chicken stroganoff. I'm impressed you can remember all the sides and dessert from a meal 50yrs ago! 😄
@@feliciagaffney1998 Hehe! She actually gave us the recipe and we've been making it for almost 50 years since. 😊 She called is 'Hungarian Noodles and Chicken". 😋 I can remember details of very memorable meals even from when I was growing up. I love good food! 😁🌟🌟🌟
My mother used to call the Souper Burger "SOS"
Some of these recipes would be a good meal prep for me. I am always looking for affordable meals for myself.
Some people only really derive satisfaction from lecturing people who eat cream of soups. They probably stand around in the soup aisle at Walmart waiting for someone to grab one so they can go "Ew, do you even know what's in that?"
Oh my word, if that ever happened to me IRL they'd get an earful! 😂 Let people live their lives people!
The sausage meatball dish looked delicious.
We had chicken croquettes in our school cafeteria in the 1970s
We eat that hamburger stuff over rice..its delicious
Excuse me. I’m sorry. Late to the party and all. But what’s wrong with cream soup? 🍲 It serves a purpose. We need cream soup. That is all. ❤❤❤❤
