I made this tonight for dinner and it was Outstanding! So Delicious! I added garbonzo beans and the barley you suggested and guessed at about 1/4 cup of barley and it was perfect! I sent a generous portion next door to my neighbor who recently lost her husband. She hasn't felt like cooking. She texted almost immediatley stating how good it was! It's Definitely a, "send some to the neighbors" worthy soup! Thanks so much!
@@rebeccabouranis7674 ~Rececca, I'm not the person U asked, but I did make John's soup tonight. 🤗 I ran to the store & got some Bobs Red Mill Pearl Barley. They had various directions on the bag & the one for soup said that after you rinse/drain one cup of the grain, add it to the soup & let it simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. It was yummy! I made the soup just like John did, except I added a leftover Parmigiano-Reggiano rind.. Those rinds are ALWAYS so delicious in soups! I'm glad I made his veggie soup & I'm glad I tried pearl barley! 😋 NUM!!
My mom always put cabbage in her vegetable soup. I still do it to this day. It's added to the soup last and cooked for just a few more minutes to get a little tender. Yum!
I know this has nothing to do with vegetable soup but my grandma lives on the farm. They use animal fat as oil. Once they mixed rosemary in the animal fat and then they fied chicken breasts in it. It was so delicious
My oldest grandson is A HUGE fan of tomato soup with French cut green beans and corn. I've introduced him to a full veg soup with a tomato soup base. Now he's addicted! I make it from scratch. I miss him so much. He's just about to turn 15 and I'll be visiting him so I'll be making it for his birthday. Thanks for the good memory, John. P. S.: It's the one dish his dad can't get right it seems. 🤔
This is my favorite way !! What k made tonight the tomatoe juice based ones and I don’t care I will use canned stuff other then potatoes Frfr and simmer it down a bit and keep adding certain veggies at certain times works best for me !!
Ooo, this looks great. I'm looking for new soup recipes for the coming fall and this is absolutely joining the menu! Update, 2/10/23: So after making this a few times for my elderly father, I did a few tweaks. He has issues swallowing so all the veggies are cut up into pretty small chunks. I reduce the quantity of veggies so we have more broth. Leave out the potatoes and corn, and use French cut frozen green beans. Sometimes I add a cup of tiny star or alphabet noodles. As I make my own veggie stock, I use more veggies and get an extra rich version to make up for the reduced veggies in the soup. This is such a good recipe. It's so easy to customize. And it's amazing served with fresh cornbread or cheesy croutons on the side.
for my friends closer to the poverty line, please don’t be scared to use canned or frozen veggies and soup. It’s still absolutely delicious, so warm and comforting and you can eat off a pot of the soup for a little while 💕💕💕
Not so sure can are cheaper LOL. I bought $15 worth of ingredients in cans - just because of convenience. Dump it in a crockpot and a couple hours later it tastes great!
Absolutely agree. There is nothing wrong with canned or frozen fruits or veggies they both are just as good and have just as good nutritional values as fresh produce the only reason why people might think it is bad is because they don't know how to observe the nutritional label or they listen to the stereotype opinions. I've worked in many industries, and a lot of them in food factories, and the only loss in good canned food is usually vitamin B or C (meaning without the preservatives, syrups, or any other additives) but it is 10% loss of nutritional value to heat seal the cans which is not very much because when you cook, microwave or add to your Fresh produce it loses nutritional value too.
@@Ghostburn70we have to eat everyday buddy. Multiple times a day. Food prices are rising. Some people hit hard times. A device doesn’t in anyway mean that you can make ends meet. Should I keep going?
I make soups during the colder months; I find prepping mirepoix (onion, celery, carrot, garlic) and the holy trinity (onion, celery, peppers, garlic) beforehand is super helpful. They both freeze well until you need them, a great base for any soup or chili. I know garlic is not an ingredient in those two, but for any soup or chili I'm gonna make it will be in there so get over it.
I watched this recipe last night, and while I was fallins asleep, it got carved in my head. I cooked it for lunch today. I used fresh tomatos and added eggplant too. I had frozen chicken broth home. It turned out delicious, just fantastic. So tasty and much easier than a canned soup. Loving it. Thanks for sharing great recipes.
I use leeks, parsnips and frozen spinach with my onions, bell pepper, celery, potato and carrots and always a dash of Worcestershire sauce, ketchup instead of canned tomatoes. I often add red pepper flakes, turmeric and cumin too. I like to blend my soup with an immersion blender so it goes nice and thick - not keen on chunks of veggies in thin soup.
It looks real good. This is one thing that my daughter said that she remembered growing up, we had a big garden and I would make a big pot of vegetable soup with the different vegetables. Two of the things that we put in it was butter beans and okra. My kids loved it.
My mom always added cilantro for soups and it adds so much flavor to it! It's a Mexican thing I think but I love it! Soups without it taste like something is missing lol
I have made it x2 already this week but was not sure if cilantro would work! You have set me free 😊 Am making it now and will definitely add cilantro .. yum 😋
@@Kaneblade07 Oh YUM! I love cilantro! I'll be making this t'moro!! 😋🥣 I have every thing he listed... except that I'm out of fresh garlic and I don't have any barley. Guess I'm driving down the hill to the store.. 🚙~~~~~
Yay.. I made the soup !!! But (even though I had cilantro, I completely spaced out adding it. DOH!) There were SO MANY veggies in that soup!! .. One thing I did add which was stellar, was a rind from a Parmigiano-Reggiano that I had. That makes just about any soup soOOOooo so delicious! I'll be using my cilantro later this week. 🥰xoxo
I'm recovering from Covid and I'm craving soup. So, I'm joyful to try out your recipe later because this version is somewhat prepped but still keeps the homemade touches. Thanks!
I had sweet potatoes instead of potatoes and I put chicken broth because I didn’t have vegetable broth turned out amazing. This is my family‘s favourite meal. I love how you cook so simple and so good thank you. 💜
Hello John, I love your videos and your cooking is very real, honest and simple. That's what I love. One thing caribbean people do is to drop a scotch bonnet in - don't split it or anything, just put it on the top and it impacts a lovely flavour without the heat. By the way, I'm from London, UK and my Dad is from Mauritius. Would be happy to share recipes with you. Al
So I've been loving my allium mix of leeks, onions, shallots, scallions, chives, and garlic, sauteed with thyme and a new favorite Savory. I've been known to make up batches of this and freeze cupcake size amounts for later use. Vegetable wise I love squash either summer or winter varieties (I dehydrated patty pan squash so available year round) and lastly some stewed tomatoes and some canned beans.
I always love how he's always smiling and cheery, it does make me feel better even with such a simple act. It's adorable, especially in his thumbnails, I enjoy it. Subscribed for that reason haha, but ofc for the food as well naturally.
This was a very useful process for making my first proper soup. I have honestly never used garlic cloves in cooking before, and accidentally purchased 2 heads of garlic thinking that each one was a clove. Luckily I didn't put the whole lot in.
Love veggie soup. I like to put zucchini in my veggie soup and snow peas. Sometimes I'll put fresh cheese tortellini for a heartier soup and serve with thinly sliced scallions. Thanks for sharing your recipe John. 🙂❤️
John, this is now my favorite vegetable soup. I made this just how you did in this video and it is so good!! Delicious and healthy. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.
I add a few green apples to my veggie soup they add such a delicious complex flavor to the soup . You don’t taste apple but it adds it’s fresh taste to the soup. I make a tomato based stock for this soup. Yummy 😊
First chef ever who tasted his own cooked food and gave honest reviews that what needs to be cooked more and what needed. I wanted to make soup being in an other country all own my own dun know much cooking but thanks to you
I made vegetable beef soup last night. I added two bay leaves, 1/2 tsp. dried oregano, and 1/2 tsp. dried thyme. SO GOOD!! It gave tomato broth incredible flavor 🤌🏻
Omg...I just made this soup last night... fantastic!! I'm not a cook by far but this is an easy recipe to follow! I have made many of your recipes and they all have been great!! Makes me feel like I can cook! I even had to buy more spices that I never used before and I really enjoyed it! I added pork riblets that I had previously cooked and stored in my freezer...what a treat!! I will definitely be making this soup again soon..Thank you John❣️
Woke up feeling sick, I’m On my way to the store so I can grab a few things so I can make this soup (minus the peas) 🤣 looks delicious😋😋 UPDATE! I made the soup and it was perfect🥰 exactly what I needed, sadly the Walmart I went to didn’t have fresh green beans but the canned green beans weren’t all that bad.. came out great, thanks💯
I love a good vegetable soup. However, I don’t usually use celery, but I do add some cabbage. Not a whole lot, but cabbage gives soup lots of flavor. Have not tried ton, but I will, and a little dill. In fact, I used to have a wonderful recipe for. I’ll have to look that up. By the way, I’m a big fan of your tomato soup, and have made it several times. This last time, I actually used real garlic, and I do think it made a difference. I also added half-and-half, and I like the texture and flavor. A couple of our local restaurant serve their tomato soup with grilled pimento cheese sandwiches. I sometimes do the same. If a southern touch. I love your recipes, because they are fairly simple and straightforward. You always ask for ingredients I usually have in my kitchen, and that is a plus.
BARLEY!!!! I LOVE BARLEY VEGETABLE SOUP!!! Never thought of that. What We've been doing recently is doing a soup VERY similar to what You're doing but with something added - cook 2 pork chops in a slow cooker on high. Season with only salt/pepper and a little steak seasoning. Set on high - 3hrs done. Remove all the bone and roughly chop up and add to soup. Let Me say this - O M G!!!! The BEST thing about this soup is SECONDS!!!!💝💝💝💝❕❕
I've made this soup following his recipe! I did tweak a bit since I didn't have some stuff but it still worked out. Flawless directions and advisory, and improv. Potatoes, carrots, I made two pots worth, one diced tomatoes and one hand-crushed whole peeled tomatoes (2nd one is better if you don't like the dice tomato texture). Peas, fresh green beans, corn, onions and garlic. Lots of fresh parsley was great. I used ground sage, and dried basil instead of fresh thyme, plenty of salt, black pepper, sugar to taste and balance out flavors, i added chicken buillion powder for that UNF/richness. I used chicken broth instead of vegetable since I like chicken broth. and it was missing something so i added some chili flakes to spice it up and it was delicious. My family loved it, adding some cheese really rounds out the flavors. Thank you so much for sharing, been wanting to make this forever. I made so much! I have to share some with the neighbors.
Thanks for an amazing vegan soup.... I love chickpeas in the soup as well. A bit of paprika, chopped spring onions or chives and some coconut milk are great additions.
No matter WHAT i cook and eat, i ALWAYS sit back and totally enjoy a good vege soup, it's better than everything else. Some crunchy bread on the side and THATS food for the gods !
Barley Porridge is a warm breakfast dish that we usually make for anyone who’s feeling down/depressed. The barely is finely ground and is coked with milk and honey/date molasses is added to sweeten it. Great healthy substitute for those pre-made kids cereals (e.g. Cerelac) since it has a similar consistency but much awesome for guy health!
Thanks again John; I made this in my huge electric roaster yesterday, I used to the chicken stock. Today, the flavors had really soaked into the veggies after resting in fridge overnight. Awesome flavor. 🍜
I love vegetable soup and usually use beef broth for the liquid. I also like to stir in a nice dollop of pure horseradish. I don't care for green beans in the soup but if I is have some frozen ones I will put them in. Also, adding to the broth, I like a can of V8. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Have a Blessed day.
@MargaretBedwell - I add the V-8 to my soup, too. I think it gives the broth more body and adds flavor. Then I like to bake up some cornbread to serve with it. I've never added horseradish, though, but I will give it a try. Thank you. You have a blessed day, too!
Awww, I love vegetable soup, any time, it is so comforting, all the vegetables flavors turn on into a party in the mouth, we also add bell pepper and "poblano" pepper, I totally recommend it!! Hugs, hugs and greetings!!❤💖
I love barely soup. It’s so good and I think it’s underrated. I guess you can add beef chunks but it would become more of a stew, right? It looks amazing. Thank you 😊 It’s so healthy and pretty. I can’t wait to try it!
I love all of your recipes, I have tried many. I especially like your presentation. You don’t have any winded explanations, you just get to the point, LOVE THAT. Thanks so much. Question, do you have a recipe for a fresh cucumber salad? My grandma used to make one where I believe she soaked the cucumbers in salt and used sour cream and other ingredients, it was such a fabulous summer dish.
This is one of the food that just make me feel good. I highly recommend trying this with lentils or vermicelli which we use in our soups a lot. We also have "bulgur", the big ones fit perfect with this too. Thanks for sharing. :)
Yep, this is going into my notebook. I've been meaning to learn how to make soup for a LONG time, and this video is just what I need to get started. Thanks 👍
Another time saver in lieu of buying mirepoix - especially if you like to make soups and stews - is to buy one of those mueller vegetable choppers. Just watch your fingers changing out the chopping grids! Makes super quick work.
Hey hey i just tried making this recipe at home from scratch just like you did, wow what a soup! I didnt have a dutch oven but a big saucepan thing so i used that and at first it looked like too much ingredients once they were all cooking and getting the broth, but wow the potato were tender and all that. Great recipe!
Add chunks of cabbage, maybe turnip root or rutabaga. Brown small chunks of chuck or “stew meat” with the aromatics. Add BARLEY! Yum! Add couple of dashes of Lea & Perrins. You can replace can tomatoes with healthy V-8 juice - big tall can. Back in the day, there was alphabet macaroni to add to veg soup.😊
Went to make this last night and discovered the potatoes in my pantry were in terrible condition so I subbed a random can of white beans 😂. Threw all the random veggies in my fridge that needed to be used and it all still turned out delicious
Awesome recipe. I use pretty much the same veggies as you do, but I will also add a small sweet potato or a turnip, depending on which one I have. Also a bit of green cabbage.
I love homemade vegetable soup with or without me. I have found that the soup gets better with age, so, I try to put it all together, at least two days before I intend to serve it. This is the soup I take to church potluck. Everyone seems to like it. Thanks for all your wonderful recipes. I can come. You are a really good teacher. Your videos are so easy to follow. Thanks a bunch.❤
V8 spicy cocktail juice is great to add for more flavor. Can also add some dehydrated veggies such as kale or spinach that have been powered for more flavor and nutrients.
The only veggie I always use frozen must be the beans - I just hate trimming them! :-) And I'd use a bit of fresh rosemary, too - goes sooo well with thyme! Real yummy recipe!
I love adding barley to my homemade vegetable soup 🍲. Are your vegetables and herbs all grown in your garden? And what are your options on using red potatoes 🥔 in vegetable soup? Your tutorials are so informative and always taste so delicious. Your recipes are the ones my children and grandchildren ask for all the time. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜
Veggie soup is always a winner👍 I love roasted corn and yellow squash in mine. For busy moms use bags of frozen veggie mixes and dinner is ready with no mess. Also so good for your body and weight maintenance.
Wonderful soup and lots of fiber! I added some stew meat and a mixture of whole milk and sour cream. I sprinkled a bit of cheddar cheese on top. You are right it is just perfect and doesn't make you feel too full.
This looks soo wholesome!! My finance is sick so I'm going to make her some vegetable soup today because its one of her favorites. I'm looking forward to trying it as well!
Tomatoes transform it from soup to stew. In my culture, it is a crime. We just use mortar and smash garlic and coriander, then add olive oil to them and add them at the end. We top it with a hint of shredded lemon zest.
I made the soup and it was absolutely unbelievable. The only thing I add it was the chickpeas and it was great and my son loved it. Thank you so much for these videos. I am a single father trying my best at cooking. Please keep them coming.
I love garbanzo beans! No one else likes them but it’s my soup!! They can eat around them. I also add Brussels sprouts. I quarter some smaller ones. And asparagus, cut similarly to green beans.

Yeah your very generous if u don’t mind me askin how did her partner pass the poor thing

Do you use pearl barley? Is there a type that cooks faster? I'm not too familiar with using that grain but I do like it.
Barley is very good for the nervous system.. perfect food for someone who is feeling low

Ditto. Cabbage really thickens soup and is quite tasty.
Same! I agree. Love the cabbage flavor!
Use cabbage and being from deep south we also use okra.
Gotta be careful with cabbage. If your body isn't used to it, you'll have to clear your schedule for the next day
good cabbage is one of the healthiest things on the planet apparently :) my mom does this too.
A large squeeze of fresh meyer lemon juice in each bowl before serving really brightens in up plus you won't need as much salt!
Always a little lemon juice. I use it in pea soup too
What a great idea. Thank you. Hubby is a low salt diet.
Linda, that’s a great idea. My husband and I are trying to cut down on salt.
I have never heard of this before. Never have lemon on hand but will definitely try. 🥰
What about regular lemon!
The simplicity of ingredients is so cozy for some reason. I love this soup ❤
I know this has nothing to do with vegetable soup but my grandma lives on the farm. They use animal fat as oil. Once they mixed rosemary in the animal fat and then they fied chicken breasts in it. It was so delicious
This looks like a really good “leftover” soup too. Soups you can happily eat day after day is great to me!

Soup isn’t really soup u til it’s been refrigerated and reheated..a couple times..
@@johncspine2787 isn’t that the truth. It’s gotta marinate a few days 😂
I am probably a minority here, but I love brussels sprouts in vegetable soup. To me they take on a nutty flavor in the soup.

You're not a minority friend...fyi
I love them.

BARLEY!!!! I LOVE BARLEY VEGETABLE SOUP!!! Never thought of that. What We've been doing recently is doing a soup VERY similar to what You're doing but with something added - cook 2 pork chops in a slow cooker on high. Season with only salt/pepper and a little steak seasoning. Set on high - 3hrs done. Remove all the bone and roughly chop up and add to soup. Let Me say this - O M G!!!! The BEST thing about this soup is SECONDS!!!!💝💝💝💝❕❕
Cabbage! Cooked until it practically melts. I love cabbage in my vegetable soup!
I've made this soup following his recipe! I did tweak a bit since I didn't have some stuff but it still worked out. Flawless directions and advisory, and improv. Potatoes, carrots, I made two pots worth, one diced tomatoes and one hand-crushed whole peeled tomatoes (2nd one is better if you don't like the dice tomato texture). Peas, fresh green beans, corn, onions and garlic. Lots of fresh parsley was great. I used ground sage, and dried basil instead of fresh thyme, plenty of salt, black pepper, sugar to taste and balance out flavors, i added chicken buillion powder for that UNF/richness. I used chicken broth instead of vegetable since I like chicken broth. and it was missing something so i added some chili flakes to spice it up and it was delicious. My family loved it, adding some cheese really rounds out the flavors. Thank you so much for sharing, been wanting to make this forever. I made so much! I have to share some with the neighbors.
Thanks for an amazing vegan soup.... I love chickpeas in the soup as well. A bit of paprika, chopped spring onions or chives and some coconut milk are great additions.
No matter WHAT i cook and eat, i ALWAYS sit back and totally enjoy a good vege soup, it's better than everything else.
Some crunchy bread on the side and THATS food for the gods !
It's a pleasure leaning from preppy kitchen. He makes it look so easy :)
I am watching again I love barley! My daughter love Kale in her soup
Barley Porridge is a warm breakfast dish that we usually make for anyone who’s feeling down/depressed. The barely is finely ground and is coked with milk and honey/date molasses is added to sweeten it. Great healthy substitute for those pre-made kids cereals (e.g. Cerelac) since it has a similar consistency but much awesome for guy health!
Thanks again John; I made this in my huge electric roaster yesterday, I used to the chicken stock. Today, the flavors had really soaked into the veggies after resting in fridge overnight. Awesome flavor. 🍜
I love vegetable soup and usually use beef broth for the liquid. I also like to stir in a nice dollop of pure horseradish. I don't care for green beans in the soup but if I is have some frozen ones I will put them in. Also, adding to the broth, I like a can of V8. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Have a Blessed day.
@MargaretBedwell - I add the V-8 to my soup, too. I think it gives the broth more body and adds flavor. Then I like to bake up some cornbread to serve with it. I've never added horseradish, though, but I will give it a try. Thank you. You have a blessed day, too!
Awww, I love vegetable soup, any time, it is so comforting, all the vegetables flavors turn on into a party in the mouth, we also add bell pepper and "poblano" pepper, I totally recommend it!! Hugs, hugs and greetings!!❤💖
I love barely soup. It’s so good and I think it’s underrated. I guess you can add beef chunks but it would become more of a stew, right? It looks amazing. Thank you 😊 It’s so healthy and pretty. I can’t wait to try it!
I love all of your recipes, I have tried many. I especially like your presentation. You don’t have any winded explanations, you just get to the point, LOVE THAT. Thanks so much.
Question, do you have a recipe for a fresh cucumber salad? My grandma used to make one where I believe she soaked the cucumbers in salt and used sour cream and other ingredients, it was such a fabulous summer dish.
That's it very good with all the colors of the rainbow thank you❤
I love your cooking
I like to add barley to most of my vegie soups. Love, love your black beans soup.
Zucchini gives great flavor and cabbage. For kids i chop carrots and zucchini very small and add a tbsp on finely chopped parsley at the end .
This is one of the food that just make me feel good. I highly recommend trying this with lentils or vermicelli which we use in our soups a lot. We also have "bulgur", the big ones fit perfect with this too. Thanks for sharing. :)
I love cabbage in my soup and pearl barley is sublime!!!
You read my mind! I was recently looking for a good vegetable soup recipe.. so I'm secretly switching out the one I found, for this one! Thank you! ❤
Yep, this is going into my notebook. I've been meaning to learn how to make soup for a LONG time, and this video is just what I need to get started. Thanks 👍
Another time saver in lieu of buying mirepoix - especially if you like to make soups and stews - is to buy one of those mueller vegetable choppers. Just watch your fingers changing out the chopping grids! Makes super quick work.
I made the soup several times thank you thank you thank you it’s so good. My family likes you. 😘👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💜
Hey hey i just tried making this recipe at home from scratch just like you did, wow what a soup! I didnt have a dutch oven but a big saucepan thing so i used that and at first it looked like too much ingredients once they were all cooking and getting the broth, but wow the potato were tender and all that. Great recipe!
I just love him and his recipes. By far my favorite Che
Cabbage is fantastic in a soup like this.
I’m 75 and we had barley in our soup as children ..so glad it’s back in fashion ..healthy is what we need
Just woke up ☕️ making this having it for breakfast , lunch and dinner 😆
Add chunks of cabbage, maybe turnip root or rutabaga. Brown small chunks of chuck or “stew meat” with the aromatics. Add BARLEY! Yum! Add couple of dashes of Lea & Perrins. You can replace can tomatoes with healthy V-8 juice - big tall can. Back in the day, there was alphabet macaroni to add to veg soup.😊
Went to make this last night and discovered the potatoes in my pantry were in terrible condition so I subbed a random can of white beans 😂. Threw all the random veggies in my fridge that needed to be used and it all still turned out delicious
I love this - thank you! I'm learning to cook for health reasons. I think you're channel is exactly what I'm looking for.
U shud have this either with bread or rice... Mmmmmm😋😋😋
.. And also sprinkle some lemon on it... Just too good
Growing up Barley was one of my favorite soup, we had soup everyday before lunch....
Awesome recipe. I use pretty much the same veggies as you do, but I will also add a small sweet potato or a turnip, depending on which one I have. Also a bit of green cabbage.
I love homemade vegetable soup with or without me. I have found that the soup gets better with age, so, I try to put it all together, at least two days before I intend to serve it. This is the soup I take to church potluck. Everyone seems to like it.
Thanks for all your wonderful recipes. I can come. You are a really good teacher. Your videos are so easy to follow. Thanks a bunch.❤
I’m making this right now! I’ve made it a few times & it’s incredible!
This soup recipe was delicious 😋😋😋 Thank you for sharing.. more power! Love, from Philippines ❤️
I love brussels sprouts
V8 spicy cocktail juice is great to add for more flavor. Can also add some dehydrated veggies such as kale or spinach that have been powered for more flavor and nutrients.
Thanks, John. Love your channel. More plant-based recipes, please.
Faro, I use in several soups, including my vegetable soup. Great texture.
Soup looks great!! Gonna make it next week. Love your channel ❤
Frank here from Louisiana just made your vegetable soup, and it is outstanding. Came out great. Thanks
The only veggie I always use frozen must be the beans - I just hate trimming them! :-) And I'd use a bit of fresh rosemary, too - goes sooo well with thyme! Real yummy recipe!
I made this exactly as described and it was the best vegetable soup I’ve ever tasted.
I love adding barley to my homemade vegetable soup 🍲. Are your vegetables and herbs all grown in your garden? And what are your options on using red potatoes 🥔 in vegetable soup? Your tutorials are so informative and always taste so delicious. Your recipes are the ones my children and grandchildren ask for all the time. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜
Veggie soup is always a winner👍 I love roasted corn and yellow squash in mine. For busy moms use bags of frozen veggie mixes and dinner is ready with no mess. Also so good for your body and weight maintenance.
i LOVE making soup thank you for this recipe John!! i can't wait to try it out
Wonderful soup and lots of fiber! I added some stew meat and a mixture of whole milk and sour cream. I sprinkled a bit of cheddar cheese on top. You are right it is just perfect and doesn't make you feel too full.
Amazing recipe!! I love adding apple into my veggie soup! It gives a slight sweet flavour but it's not invasive at all.
I’m going to try this!
gonna try this! I do a stuffed chicken w granny smith. thanks for this idea!
This looks soo wholesome!! My finance is sick so I'm going to make her some vegetable soup today because its one of her favorites. I'm looking forward to trying it as well!
I love fennel and fresh lemon zest and juice to amp up the vit c
Vegetable soup I grew up consisted of potatoes, cabbage, Okra, corn, tomatoes, lime beans, bacon grease. Southern soup
Cabbage as an addition
Can't wait to try this meal. I'm new to your channel and already hooked 😊.
Thumbs up to your culinary skills.
Tomatoes transform it from soup to stew. In my culture, it is a crime. We just use mortar and smash garlic and coriander, then add olive oil to them and add them at the end. We top it with a hint of shredded lemon zest.
I made the soup and it was absolutely unbelievable. The only thing I add it was the chickpeas and it was great and my son loved it. Thank you so much for these videos. I am a single father trying my best at cooking. Please keep them coming.
I'm proud of you for giving this recipe to the masses.
My grandfather made this for us as kids. Don’t know why I haven’t done this sooner! Thanks!
I love finding new cooking channels! you've got yourself a new subscriber
Such a charismatic beautiful vibe to you highly enjoyed watching you and learning with you thank you 😊✨❤️🔥
I love garbanzo beans! No one else likes them but it’s my soup!! They can eat around them. I also add Brussels sprouts. I quarter some smaller ones. And asparagus, cut similarly to green beans.
Yummy will definitely try...Thnks for sharing
