Appalachian potato soup is so meaningful to me. I found my family heritage through the Irish Appalachian recipes my grandma made growing up. You just cant buy memories like potato soup and cornbread on a cold winters night.
It's so odd to me, lol. My grandmother passed away when I was very young. But one of the memories I have of her is breaking pieces of biscuits into potato soup. But I could never get it quite right as an adult. I saw the first video of this and literally started to cry. Because it was the soup I remembered. I've been making it ever since, lol. It may be the most frugal thing I make, but I love it!
If you have an egg and some flour, mix it together until it’s pinchable and add to the tater soup and let it cook. They’re rivels and it sure does goes far to make potato soup stick to your ribs. We add onion and celery too.
Thanks so much for your videos! Whenever I'm feeling down, I look forward to seeing one of your uploads. They always cheer me up! They are always so wholesome and uplifting! Thanks Brooke! ❤️ 😊❤
We do brown gravy with burger patties & white rice. We cut up the burger patties, add it on top of the rice & smother it in brown gravy. Add some salt & pepper and if you want seasoning go for it. Super cheap, easy and filling!
@debgersh5555 my dad use to add the onion inside the burger patties but since my kiddos and husband aren't huge onion fans we skip that. But it's really good with onion too!
Hey, Brooke! Please add your chicken, rice and broccoli crockpot meal to a "favorites" video. I make it SO often and recommend your channel and exceptional tasting recipes to everyone I know. That dish is one of my favorites, (with the mixed rice that doesn't get soggy), to tell people about, but it's so hard to find in all your awesome videos. Please help a mama out, Bestie!! ❤
Brooke I think you are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! inside and out, you got it all girl!! Thank you for sharing your recipes, time, and most importantly your memories with us. Keep smiling beautiful, you spread so much love and light for God. Thank you for that, may God bless y'all 💙💙
Thank you so much for these recipes, Brooke! I definitely saved them to try soon. BTW, your Chicken Pot Pie Casserole with the Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuit topping is my new favorite! I even made it for Christmas because it just seemed simpler for me. Also, I've found that subbing in drained canned chicken works well for a more shelf-stable option if you don't have a rotisserie chicken on hand. I've even subbed in Jiffy cornbread thinned out a bit (water or milk) for the RL biscuit mix if needed. There's more than one way to do these things, and they still come out good! Love and blessings to you and yours...🙏💜
We use canned chicken in our pot pies often. We save the liquid from from the canned chicken and use it in the places of the recipe calling for water/other liquids in the pie filling for extra chicken flavor.
I remember my grandma making a simple potato soup back when I was a girl back in the 1960's. Sauteed an onion, added diced potatoes, water, s&p and cooked until tender. Call it Michigan tater soup.
My favorite potato soup was our struggle meal growing up. Much like yours, boil potatoes and onions, when soft add milk, butter, salt & pepper. Done. We didn't "thicken" it. PS: he has trouble now with onion, so I grate it on the grater or microplane. So quick and easy. Happy New Year! 🥳🎉
I bought the ground turkey you buy from Walmart. Does your Walmart carry that brand of ground turkey with taco seasoning or in the breakfast sausage or the Italian sausage flavors? I bought them all, but I tell you the taco seasoning one is the absolute best. You don’t need to add anything to it. I brown it up and eat it on a bed of lettuce and it’s the best taco salad. And so cheap. I imagine that the Italian and breakfast sausages will be just as good.
I’m new to your channel but learning a lot. Thank you for easy meals you can make on a tight budget. I have to adapt to gluten free. The chicken casserole looks really good and easy to make. Could I substitute the cornbread stuffing for herb gluten free stuffing? They don’t make gluten free cornbread stuffing.
Notice all the recipes are creamy comfort foods? I completely agree with everyone’s ‘vote’ on the most popular (although, to be fair, all of Brooke’s meals look delicious!)😋🤤
I never got to see the first potato soup video and I’ve been looking for a good recipe for potato soup so I’m definitely going to try it. Thanks again. Brooke. May God bless you and keep you and make his face to shine on you and your family in 2025.
So glad you did this! I just had Cheap Chicken Casserole today but made with Stove Top Stuffing, what I had. Love this stuff! Ground Turkey isn't a favorite but I will try it in Poor Mans Steak.
You could add all sorts of things to that chicken casserole to make it "extra" like adding corn or peppers or flavoring the chicken with southwestern flavor and putting sour cream and salsa on it......oh I am soooooooo saving this video! I love all these ideas.
Love the idea of making the chicken casserole a southwestern flavor. I wouldn't have thought to do that because my kids won't do cornbread stuffing; my stuffing has to be the chicken/poultry flavor.
Love the channel. Always great to see your creations. Have you ever tried potted meat? It’s in a can. I’ve seen them at dollar tree. My family loves it but I was wondering if you ever have made a video using it OR would you make one? Would love to see what you can whip up. Thanks
Thank you for doing this video. I’m wanting to spend less on food and eat out less this year. I’ll probably be looking and relooking at this video thru the year. Thank you!!! Love ya, tator!!!
Brook thank you for sharing your recipes, I ❤ the videos I have used a few and love them. I really like saving money and time. I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I make a similar potato soup and just bought property in the Appalachians a few months ago after living in Florida my entire life. I will definitely have to call it that from now on lol also, we make that chicken casserole as well but we add green beans or peas. Happy new year, Southerland Family!
Brooke I made your recipe for Dutch babies and cobbler during the holidays for the first time my Dutch baby didn't rise very much but all was eaten!! Have to Thank you for all you do!! Happy New Years!! Praying for your Grandfather! Janell from Calif
I made your bbq chicken tostadas and my very picky husband went back for seconds! Also, your recipe for Amish butter noodles is one of my daughter’s favorite dishes (I add cooked shredded chicken).
Yes these are some great cheap meals and look great and tasty too . Thanks for sharing you lives with us and all you do.. we live you so much.. Wishing you, Dusty and the boys a Happy New Year.. have a great day and enjoy all the finger foods you make..🙏🥰🥰🥰🧨🧨🎆🎇
I’ve been cooking over 30 years and never thought of using flour as a binder. 😂😂Made meatloaf tonight and used some breadcrumbs that were getting close to expired but flour is so smart. Imma try that tater soup.
My mother in law made something she called Tater Dumplings. It was basically potatoe soup with the biscuit dumplings torn up into it. Very filling and inexpensive. She served it with cornbread.
My mom puts egg noodles in her potato soup to make it extra filling. She starts it with a mirepoix (celery, carrot, onion) and only adds salt and butter. I've always been amazed at how creamy, rich and flavorful those simple ingredients are. Yes, she also adds evaporated milk. It's only a few dollars for an entire potful that gives many leftovers.
I love the poor man steaks. I usually use saltine cracker crumbs, egg, parsley flakes, salt and pepper. I cook my patties in a skillet. I smear the mushroom soup on top without diluting with water or milk. Put a lid on it and the mushroom soup makes gravy.
We do the chicken dumplings but add in a small can of chicken or chicken left overs to add more flavor. We like to freeze diced chicken in small pucks of about 1/4 cup. This allows us to throw in a small amount of meat in any dish that needs it.
This has been such an exciting year spending this time with you and your boys, bestie! Happy 2025, Brooke, Dusty and fam.🎉🌟🎉 May God bless you all with good health, lots of laughter, joy and a ton of love, my Southerland Squad! xoxo
When you were making the chicken casserole you poured the chicken out of the can to the Bowl. I was like, you not going to drain that? Right after I said that, you said yeah I don't drain it😂
Hey wonderful Brooke. I love all the recipes. I hope everyone had a beautiful Christmas 🎄. I love potato soup and chicken n dumplins the most. You and your lovely have a wonderful Happy New Year🎉😊❤
Brooke, do you ever make tuna and noodle casserole? I use cream of mushroom soup and a little milk in it. Crushed potato chips on the top are delicious. It’s been a family favorite forever❤
Thanks for sharing these recipes Brooke, I can't wait to try your version of tater soup (I ❤tater soup). I make the poorman steaks all the time and serve with mashed taters,some find of veggie and either white or brown gravy. Hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas. I can't wait to see what's in store for the new year. ❤❤
My mother made us potato soup, and we are from California. I believe it is a tight on money meal because my Mom hadn't heard of Appalachia.😮😂❤ Love you, Brooke.
I make drop dumplings my grandma taught me, with eggs, salt, pepper, a little milk, and flour enough to make drop dumplings. This one is another “no real recipe” recipe. My family’s favorite! These also are the same dumplings for chicken and dumplings.

my great grandpa Martin here in KY was second gen Irish American i believe. I didn't know There were Appalachian Irish. thats really cool ❤
My momma used to make salmon patties with potato soup. Dang I miss her😢

May 2025 be the best for you and your guys. Your happy attitude is contagious 😅
