I recently started watching this channel and subscribed. In the absolute confusion of starting to can food I left a comment-question. They Got back to immediately. This couple and just so genuine and passionate about planning for the worst in an ethical way. They share their knowledge so generously. I absolutely love the no nonsense approach! I have been interested in food preservation and love veggie gardening but got so confused by all the complex instructions and useless information included on other channels. I am So excited started my canning and following the direction from Rose red have had far more successes than failures. Where I live in Australia we have had two weeks in 2021 without power due to a tornado and flood, (and we were cut of from town for 7 days with no phone,) so I am addicted to the ideas in this channel. It gets to expense when you get dodgy information on other channels and gave up as I was to scared I would poison my family. Brilliant channel absolutely wonderful and smart lady!
Thank you so much, Erica. We really appreciate that! We are excited for you to get started on your canning adventure and are happy to help in any way we can.
When you drain the mirepoix you could save the soaking liquid to add to the soup. Just a little extra flavor! Super recipe!
That is a great idea!
Thank you Pam and Jim for all you have given us this last year! Merry Christmas and God bless.
Audrey: Happy holidays! Thanks for the complements and for the watching our channel. Jim
Miss Pam, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the two of you! I have been on the fence about a freeze dryer
and a dehydrator so you have certainly given me the incentive to “jump that fence!” 😆 Your videos are so thorough and
informative.
You are both treasured by this viewer.
Thank you again for all of your hard work ♥️
Karen
You and Jim have helped so many of us to think of and become prepared. How on earth can we not be appreciative of your efforts to teach thru demonstration of all the ways to preserve and serve foods!
Pam, have you ever considered poking a tiny hole in the plastic ramekin lid and plastic bag so that when you vacuum seal you'll remove more air? Just a thought. Thank you for the video. Always a pleasure to watch!
I can’t wait to try this. Got my beans soaking now. The last 3 recipes I have tried of yours have been awesome (pressure canning black bean soup, zucchini soup (OFF THE CHARTS!!), split pea soup) so it is a given this will be good too. I am making a fresh batch , and dehydrated batch. Only item I currently do not have dehydrated are the white. Thank you so much for your incredible dedication!! You have helped me tremendously this last year. I have gone from 2 days of food in my house to at least a year , probably more. I have made multiple mistakes & learn from every single one of them. It makes me proud that I have preserved such nutritious, healthy food and I am grateful to you for your guidance. ❤
Wow! That is fantastic! We appreciate that you watch our videos. Jim
In 1994, I was a manager @ a Taco Bell in Kingman, AZ. I was amazed how their refried beans were “made.” They come in a white bag, you dump them into a pan and add boiling water & then just stir it up. They rehydrated almost immediately. They look exactly like your dehydrated pintos. How about that? My first experience with “fast beans” and I didn’t even know it. 🤣🤣
Being single, making a pot of beans for one (yes I can buy canned beans but I just love cooking from scratch), is a bit much. Freezing leftovers can be overwhelming, I get tired of beans real fast lol. So now I can satisfy my need to cook a pot of beans, take out what I need for a small recipe and dehydrate the rest for fast beans! I know I’m REALLY going to enjoy winter with the fast beans that I’ve sealed up! Absolutely an essential method that’s pocketbook friendly too! Thank you Dear Lady!! 😘🌹
Wow I love this soup mix.
Your chicken bone broth looks like liquid gold! I love Tuscan bean soup.
You are such a delight to watch and so informative. Thank you!
This is absolutely beautiful! Thank you very much!
I can't wait for your cookbook. Excellent tutorial on using fast beans.
Love all your videos and especially love seeing how you put a meal together using the jars that you are creating! :) TY and hope you're feeling better
I made two jars of this soup mix, and tried one for lunch yesterday as the test run. Delicious!! So flavorful and hearty. I need more practice dehydrating and rehydrating, and this is a good start. Thanks!
@RoseRed Homestead 💯's of Thank You's for all of your shows from this last year. An Alaskan 🇺🇲🦅 from Ketchikan, residing near Swiss border by the Donau River. A ☮️ full Christmas 🎄☃️ and Winter Season is Wished Upon You Both. Stay safe, warm, healthy and blessed 💖🦔🦦🙏🕯️🌹
Kat: Merry Christmas to you, too! Thanks for watching our channel. Jim
That is a beautiful thing. I’m gonna watch this entire playlist now🎉😂
What a great idea!
What an amazing gift! Such a pretty presentation! Thank you for all your videos and due diligence! It is much appreciated! Hugs to you both!
I love the fast beans and Meal in a Jar ideas!
Idaho: Thank you! Jim
This looks amazing! I'm definitely trying this-and I LOVE the fast bean method! TYFS
That looks so yummy. I don't have freeze dryer, but I can make it by regular cooking style.
You are the best!!! I can’t wait to freeze dry my beans…I’m so glad you answered the freeze dried Vs dehydrated bean question.
I enjoyed this whole process so much. Inspired to try variations. 😊
That looks fantastic!
Thank you for the amazing knowledge you give us. I try and never miss your videos.
So nice of you! We appreciate that.
Thank you, so simple easy and fabulous for a quick meal.
Yes, with those Fast Beans it is incredibly quick. And so good!
Thank you!
Merry Christmas! Thank you.
Robin: Merry Christmas to you, too. Jim
I was so afraid that I had done something wrong, with the way my “fast beans” in the dehydrator had come out, still hard and some “popped” it was so reassuring and refreshing to come across this video!
Thank you for sharing this message.
Mine aren’t pretty, but in an actual emergency they’re edible and filling and I’ve learned a little lesson from you!
When I first started my journey in food preservation and emergency preparedness, I couldn’t understand the concept of “WHY? am I cooking and wetting things just to turn around and dry it back out”… it didn’t take me long to figure out less energy in an emergency situation so I could conserve and as a mountain search and rescue/avid outdoorsman it was lighter weight I had to pack in and out. I now do it for several mushers who want real foods on the trails!
Also another reason why I started doing “fast beans” and “instant rice”! I spent an entire weekend cooking and drying various beans and assorted rices!”
Yummo! Thanks
Thank you so much for this recipe Pam! This looks like a keeper for sure.
You are welcome. It really is a keeper and I plan to make more for our food storage.
I'm so glad I finally got to watch this! Wonderful idea with putting the bullion cubes in there and I love how you separated the different vegetables in herbs for specific purposes. You never cease to impress me!
Thank you! So glad you like the video.
Merry Christmas! Glad I found your channel this year! Looking forward to a new year with you & Jim. 🎄❤️
goldilox369: Merry Christmas! We are looking forward to making lots of videos this coming year, too. Jim
We are big soup eaters. What a genius Idea to pre-cook the legumes and then put together the mix for future use. Thanks so much for this video.
Mary: You are so welcome! Jim
Loved it!
I loved the fast bean video now I get to see your soup recipe. Excited.
So glad to hear it! Thank you.
Merry Christmas!! I am definitely going to make this soon! Looks delicious! Thank you for the recipe
Lisa: Happy holidays! Let us know about your Fast Bean Soup successes. JIm
Merry Christmas! I love meals in a jar and this one sounds really good!
Linda: Happy holidays! Yes, they are. Jim
Thanks for the recipe' can’t wait to get started on making some fast beans'
I am really enjoying experimenting with them. They are so great for food storage!
Merry Christmas! Thank you for all your wonderful info!☃️🎁🎄❤🙏🌟
Ann: Your are welcome! Happy Holidays to you, too! Jim
Merry Christmas! I just bought a powder cream to make dehydrated cream soups too. I can’t wait to jar this up. So much fun.
DeplorableCB: That sounds fantastic! Happy holidays to you, too. Jim
Yum
We get excited too!
Kathy: Wonderful! Jim
Merry Christmas 🎄. Thank you for another wonderful video. I can’t wait to try that soup. And I will be dehydrating everything that goes into it. I love your channel and hope you and Jim have a wonderful day.
Sharon: Merry Christmas! We are happy that you liked the Fast Beans video. Enjoy the dehydrating for the sou and let know about your successes. Our day has fairly quiet as we work on more videos and the cookbook. Jim
This is the best bean soup I have ever tried! I have made it twice, and set up three more jars ready to go. I could eat this everyday. For the mirepoix I had made up some dried and ground into a powder so I just added a couple of teaspoons to the mix and it seemed to be about right. Thank you for another wonderful, useful idea for all of us.
You inspire me. Thank You to the most informative Couple on You Tube. In your debt yet again
Wow, thank you!
Merry Christmas! Beautiful soup. Thank you very much
Merry Christmas to you and yours! We are happy that you like the soup. Jim
Thank you Pam for another great recipe!!! When is your cookbook coming out??? A must have! Happy New Year!
Merry Christmas! Have a healthy Happy New Year! Thank you for all your informative videos 🎄🎆🕛
Roni: Yes, and the same to you. Thanks for watching our videos. Jim
This is great, thank you!!
Glad you liked it!
Love the soup recipe. I need to make this. Thank you. Merry Christmas. 🎄
You are very welcome!
Great information!
looks hearty and tasty.
Thanks, yes, it is both!
Made this tonight. Awesome! Husband loved it. Waiting impatiently for more of you fast beans
You are amazing, thank you
Row: That sounds great! Pam is working more fast beans for future videos. Jim
Very nice! I make a similar soup but have never added chick peas. Will certainly give that a try. Also, I add my spices in with my mirepoix ingredients when sautéing them, the spice flavor wakes up. I've been just wrapping them in a bit of plastic wrap but I like your little container idea. The aroma that will start wafting thru the room makes everyone hungry! I add bigger leaves of mixed dehydrated greens to the bottom of the bowls before putting soup in. Your adding to the soup just before serving is really a nice presentation. 👍👍
Once again Thank You so much for bringing such good information to us. I think I will purchase as much freeze dried items as I possibly can instead of dehydrating every thing.
Love the soups in a jar.
You are so welcome! I think that is a good option. There are foods that I purchase in #10 cans instead of dehydrating or freeze drying as well--like the carrots shown in this video. It is a balance between the cost and the amount of my time if I do it myself!
You are a joy, i really like the freeze dried products better than the dehydrated, hoping to get on but my house is small so we will see. I wish you well and a Happy Healthy New Year to you and Jim and the rest of your family. I love learning from you.
Marie: Thank you! Jim
This is very interesting. I’m watching for the humus . Thank you for all you do! Merry Christmas! 🎄
Riverunner: Thanks! Merry Christmas! Jim
@@RoseRedHomestead ...hi Jim, I’m Hope . Great content!

Another excellent vlog! Looked good enoigh to eat 😊 Tfs, please stay safe 👋
It looks delicious!
It really is good.
You Re absolutely my favorite you tuber!!!!!
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤ Thanks for the recipe great video!!
Catherine: Merry Christmas to you, too! Thanks for watching our videos. Jim
Fantastic, thank you. What a perfect way to end my Christmas Day then to watch this video. Hope your day was lovely too
So glad you liked it! Yes, we had a lovely but quiet day. We opted out of all gatherings given my recent bout with respiratory crud--didn't want to share any germs!
@@RoseRedHomestead oh how nice. We had two other people over so it was nice. But i was tired enough at the end of the day…so glad we didn’t have more over hahahaah.
Merry Christmas! Thanks for sharing this great soup mix recipe with us :-)
Mary: Happy Holidays to you, too! Pam enjoyed sharing the soup mix. Jim
Thank you for sharing your fast bean soup mix. I personally much prefer freeze drying and dehydrated veg in soup mix ingredients rather than canning. I know canning is good too but a freeze dryer is so worth the investment. I was fortunate to be able to purchase one after selling my last homestead. I offer family and friends to bring their harvest and we can freeze dry it so they can have that option for their food pantry too.
fantastic! keep them coming.
Nancy: Yes, we are working on doing just that as often as possible. Jim
Ive been so excited for this one. Thanks so much. I have a freeze dryer on order, but, unfortunately there’s a long wait due to shipping delays here in Australia :(. I will make the dehydrated ones though. Merry Christmas to you …. And a safe and happy new year xo
Karen: Merry Christmas to you, too! We are sorry to hear about the long delays for your FZDR. Let us know how your dehydrated ones work-out. Jim
Awesome.
Thank you.
Yum yum yum!
It is very yummy! LOL!
It's gotten to the point in my house when you post a new video and my hubby finds out, your channel is opened on the big TV the rest of life stops. This soup recipe is fantastic! a freeze dryer is going to be a tad down the road BUT the knowledge is ever present, besides I heard tell it too comes with directions 😊. Merry New Year and Happy Christmas. 😊
Edwina
EF H: Thank you! We never thought that we would be posted on a big screen and that viewers' lives would stop as they watched our videos. Wow! That is overwhelming. Yes, the freeze dryer has directions. Make sure that you follow the directions explicitly and do not skip steps because it process takes longer (at least on the one we have). I like your Merry New Year and Happy Christmas (interesting reordering). Jim
Adorei essa sopa,rápida e ideal quando a gente está cansada ou doente. Abraços do Brasil 🇧🇷
Thank you.
Thank you Pam, I am saving my extra $ to purchase a freeze dryer soon.
That will be fantastic. It greatly increases your options for preserving food!
Wonderful!!! I am making a list of foods to freeze dry as soon as I get enough hours of sunshine. I love the idea of having a fast meal without having to heat the kitchen in the summer.
Please pardon my ignorance, but what does sunshine have to do with freeze drying?
@@rangerannie5636 I am powered by a solar system so no sun no power. I need sunshine to charge the battery bank to run the freeze dryer. It was a strange way to say that so you aren't ignorant just my not so plain explanation.
@@lyndabuchholz1216 What's funny is I am familiar with solar energy, but my mind was trying to make a connection between sun drying and freeze drying. I have been curious about the power draw from a freeze dryer and I imagine it's quite large. You must have a big system!
@@rangerannie5636 Actually the freeze dryer only draws a small amount more than a dehydrator. I was surprised, pleasantly though. I do have a fairly large system a bit over 9 kW. It works well but I wish it was a bit more so I could freeze dry in the winter when I have extra time to prepare the food. But we are working on that with a wind generator to add to the battery charging.
I am trying this for supper tonight. I'm not using the chick peas but am adding some canned chicken. If we like it, we will make up mylar bags of the mix for quick meals. We made several of the burrito mixes today! I am thrilled you are giving us goo recipes to use all the veggies and beans we have been dehydrating! Thank you!!!
Diana: Sounds great! Jim
I Iove this! My only concern about putting the bouillian cubes inside each jar is the expiration date of the cubes will be sooner than the dehydrated or freeze dried beans, peas, and veggies. You will need to put that date on the jar. I keep extra jars of bouillian in my pantry for emergency use. It's easier to replace those if they expire first... IMO. Just food for thought.
I made your Tuscan bean soup jars- 9 so far. It takes a bit to freeze dry the ingredients. Love this idea. Can apply this idea for a variety of jars. Thank you ❤
Sounds great! Jim
I will try this, perfect for under the weather feel good soup.Tks👅
Villie: Yes, that sounds great! Jim
Pam and Jim thank you for the Tuscan White Bean Soup Recipe. I have a question could I use my Powdered Tomato Skins instead of tomato slices. I really went overboard this summer and saved and dehydrated ALL the skins from the tomatoes.I sprinkled some in a couple dishes I made ,and the flavor was was great. I love to experiment, I haven't made the soup yet but I can tell by all the ingredients it will be delicious.
Thank you again for sharing all your wonderful knowledge and expertise, I feel you have taught me a new skill that could save my life AND IT IS FUN.
Thanks for sharing this comment! I love that you love to experiment. Yes, you could definitely use that tomato powder and it would be delicious!
This is great! If in a survival situations you could add more liquid and add rice, or orzo or noodles to bulk up this soup. I'll be prepping some jars of this for sure. Thank you for all the information you share.
Carrie: Thanks for your suggestions for bulking-up the soup. Jim
I so wish I could afford to buy Freeze Dryer. I'm now retired, single and on a fixed income so chances of ever getting one is very slim. I'm very happy to have my dehydrator at least, but I really like the way food comes out of the dehydrater! My neighbor has one, but hate to impose. Anyway, I love your videos Pam! I have watched others but I always seem to come back to yours. Thank you for all your time and effort to make for us!
You are very welcome. My sisters and I thought about buying one to share, but we live 4 hours away from them, so it didn't really work for us.
Received my freeze dryer this week. I’ll be trying this.
Owlsome: Let us know how your tests and actual freeze drying go. Jim
@@RoseRedHomestead I’ve been freeze drying up a storm! Working on emptying the freezer.
Eggs, grass fed milk, salmon fillets, peas, okra, paste tomatoes, fresh parsley, cilantro and aloe vera juice from the garden, leftover Mexican rice. All has worked out well. We also freeze dried a batch of eggnog for Christmas gifts.
This week I’m working on freeze drying our own rabbit meat.
Lovely, I cook with beans and or lentils 2-3 times a week, very good for health
That sounds great! Jim
Oh, yum
Charlene: Yes, it was very good. Jim
I'm going to ask my friend with a freeze dryer to do beans for me so I can make this! :). A different friend and I are saving up to jointly buy a freeze dryer.
Pam, Merry Christmas to you and Jim!
Susan: Happy Holidays to you, too! Jim
I would use caution with combining freeze dried and dehydrated items. The freeze dried items will pull moisture from the dehydrated items. I had this happen with dehydrated oats and freeze dried fruit that I packaged together. Within 3 months the fruit was a mushy mess and I assumed wet enough to cause problems. That said...I love your videos and your attitude about self reliance.
You can get most of the air out of the baggy by using a straw. Close the bag leaving just enough opening for a straw, suck the air out. I hold it so I can pinch the straw if I need more than one go. I do this all the time when putting things in the freezer in baggies to prevent freezer burn. It works quite well.
Joanie: Thanks, we did not know that! Jim
Bravo! Merry Christmas 🌹!
Bumble: Happy holidays! Jim
Beautiful! I make a couple of soup jars using quick beans but nothing quite like this. Going to have to try it!
Sandra: Thank you! Let us know the results of your soup making. Jim
@@RoseRedHomestead Soon! I need to pick up some fresh spinach leaves to dehydrate on next grocery run. I usually have greens powder and frozen spinach on hand but looks like the rehydrated leaves are a perfect addition (and will pack into a soup-in-a-jar).
You are right about that. I have spinach powder as well, but that spinach was perfect!
Fabulous. Amazing. Thank you ! (I am glad you are feeling better also!) 2 questions: How much water to rehydrate mirepoix (I have a dehydrated mix myself), and secondly, can you add the rehydration water to soup for even more flavor? I am working on a no-waste kitchen (my red wiggler worm bin helps a LOT!).No. More. Throwiing Out of Food (difficult when you are one person but I am getting there). Blessings to you and Jim!
This soup looks glorious and a slice of homemade bread would make one feel like a queen (or king !). We should have Gallon jars of Mirepoix put up!! Lol.
Dottie: We agree with you! Jim
at the green tree grocer my daughter found me a container of Italian seasoning, for 10 dollars 28 oz. nice gallon size. i whirled that up in the blender to make a powder, as didn't like the whole herb pieces. I think though that McCormick uses a bit too much rosemary. I packed some for later and have a nice amount to use now. tasty sauces indeed!
Mel: That sounds very nice. Jim
@@RoseRedHomestead I ordered some more beans, got 8lbs of pintos to make fast beans, 4 pounds of GN white bean, and looking for the white kidney beans. Thank you so much, getting ready to instapot and dehydrate them in the morning.
Thanks Pam I am going to try Pam 10-3-2022👍🏽👍🏽
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Thank you, and same to you.

Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
farmstake21: Merry Christmas to you and yours, too! Jim
Merry Christmas. Tried drying different cooked rices and would love to see some recipes for rice. Wild rice turned out very good.
Thanks for that information! I will add that to our list--an excellent option for food storage. Thanks.
I am a rice fanatic and would love to be able to open a jar of cooked rice! Please do teach us Pam and Jim!
Merry Christmas!
deborahjoycebush1: Merry Christmas to you, too. Jim
Winco often has dehydrated mirepoix in the bulk bin section. It’s a huge time saver.
Mickey: Thank you for that information. Jim
Thank you for this info. I'll look for it on my next Winco shopping trip.
