Darlin', I'm a 70 yr old woman who has gardened and cooked homemade meals from scratch all my life......and I have NEVER achieved what you have - in the garden or in the kitchen!! WOW - what an inspiration - I can't get enough of watching you - you are adorable, kind, positive, talented, and downright nice. You are also very blessed in so many ways! I am so happy that I have found your channel! Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us!!
It’s really inspiring to see someone who shows so much of the “real life” side of things. When I watch other RUclipsrs, it can be a disheartening when it seems like they dedicate every waking hour to their home steads. Watching your videos, seeing how you manage to do all this and work full time and have so much going on in your life, makes me feel like this is something I could actually achieve myself one day. Thank you for all the inspiration!!
I can't tell you why these videos are so comforting. Its like having a sister who's excitedly sharing what she's passionate about. I live in about as Urban of a place as you get, but this is making me want to have a tomato plant in my window :)
I’m so glad you participated in this collab since new viewers will discover you. Here’s an idea for you to try in your roaster one day: caramelize a boatload of onions. I’ve done it in my crockpot for around 10-14 hours. You can then save meal-sized portions for later use - a great start on meal prep!
@@flowergod12 you can because most of us like to fuss a bit. But you don’t really need to. It cooks down on its own and it’s evenly caramelized by the time it’s done!
Becky I cannot say how helpful your videos are, I normally put something on for entertainment while I do my hair in the morning but my husband is very happy with my new (less stressful more organised) approach to cooking! Keep up the videos x
I am so happy to see Souptember! Growing up, my mom was a soup master. Now that she's gone, every bowl I eat reminds me of her. Not only are you a great cook, but I have no idea where you get so much energy from!
This is the first time commenting. I usually watch on my smart TV and don't have the option to leave a message. But I just wanted you to know I look forward to every video. I've been gardening for the last 10 years and I've learned so much from you. Because of you I did do a bit of canning, never had the nerve to do it before. Thank you for all your content.
Becky: Not sure you know but... It is not recommended that you blend your soups in any blender with the center top on. Why? you ask... (I learned this from a professional chef,) You can build up so much pressure inside the container it will blow off the top and spill hot soup everywhere, including on you. So take off the center top, cover it with a couple layers of towel and your hand-- then blend. Your tomato basil bisque looks yummy!
I think it’s the rule for anything but a Vitamix, so anybody who tries this recipe and has another blender, don’t try this. Also, don’t fill it as full as she did. Or use an immersion blender, even better. Vitamix is in a different category than just blender.
I love how you always explain the chemistry behind cooking and take time to teach us viewers. Congrats on your new subscribers and as I recall Josh was going to make a cameo when you hire 100,000. I couldn’t have missed him because I always watch for your new posts. Thanks for being you
Oh now I’m going to have to make your onion jam to try this. The soup looked great - but that grilled cheese! On a side note: Congrats on 120k (almost) subscribers! You have grown incredibly fast! I remember when you were surprised at 20k! You are a true gem to watch. Thank you for taking the time to put out content for us. It is greatly appreciated!
My husband has been asking for tomato soup and grilled cheese lately, and we are finally getting into soup weather!!! I’ll have to give this recipe a try for sure!!! Also, today officially marks me watching all of your videos! It took me a little over three weeks!! Thank you for all the hard work and amazing videos!! You have inspired me so much!!!
The look on your face when you tried the grilled cheese sandwiches is priceless! That's the face of pure joy from food. I love how simple your recipes are and can't wait to try them!
I am from Ontario Canada and I just started watching your videos, when I was younger my dad grew a garden pretty much the same size that you have and I would always be out there with him tending to it, I got married and had my 4 kids and did not have any time to do a garden, now that I am in my 60's and moving to a new town out in the country I am going to build a garden come spring of 2023. I just finished making this soup with tomatoes that were given to me and my oh my, so delicious and so much better then store bought canned stuff, I will be making this more often now that winter in on its way. Thanks so much for all your videos, they are very informative and very helpful :)
I love how you problem solve and overcome dissapointment so cheerfully! It makes me just want to try all the things I have in my mind. You are motivating, real and delightful to watch and listen to! Thank you so much.
I'm not much for these collaborations but I'm working really hard on soups right now. Health issues along with my already difficult lactose intolerance (i.e. no dairy) have brought me to this point. I enjoy watching you cook because you add those tips and tricks that really help me. Anyway, I at least started all 30 videos and was underwhelmed. Crab Bisque??? Weird. The only one I loved was the Dump Soup (a.k.a. Stone or "Garbage"). It was great to see all their refrigerator come out to the cutting board, and they did a good job telling me what order to put things into the pot. I doubt you ever have that much-unloved produce, but it would still be fun to see your version of Stone Soup. These people missed the true heart of soup which is simplicity. Your tomato soup is just that. Basic, whole food, and I'm sure awesome.
As someone who just found this channel, I think she's better than Rachel. :) Just made some T-bones the way you did in a steak "flip method" with mushroom sauce video. I didn't have mushrooms for a sauce, but the guys loved it.
I LOVE THIS! I am a vegetarian and I love seeing so many homegrown vegetables used in a dish. I hope Josh appreciates your creativity and energy. You are amazing!
Becky love your channel and your enthusiasm is contagious. I like many watchers am on a very tight budget with a very small social security check. While I'd like to buy the vitamix and other items you feature there us mo room in my budget. I love your channel and you make it seem like so much fun to be gardening and cooking. It's not feasible for some of us who are doing good just to get any food from the local grocery store. Id love to have a freeze drying machine and freeze dry a lot of stuff instead of taking up freezer space but the cost is not in my budget. I'm sure others who love your channel are facing the same problem how to do these things that you teach without the products to do them like the Vitamix, or a freeze drying machine. Could you teach some alternatives to your recipes that dont need these expensive products? Please keep doing your channel and teaching people because your joy for what you do is needed these days. For me its a nice deversion from chemotherapy for breast cancer. Thanks for bring joy to a world that can be hard at times.
Mercy! There isn't much better than a good grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup! Warms the soul! Total comfort food for sure! Thank you and God bless!
I’ve recently become obsessed with this channel…one day I had a ton of laundry to fold so I turned on a playlist of videos…ever since I’ve been obsessed! My husband calls Becky my best friend since all I do is talk about is her videos! Lol I can’t wait to try out the soup…my favorite grilled cheese has turkey, thin apple slices, and honey mustard!!
Kids learning to cook is priceless. I taught all my grandkids to make scrambled eggs when they started Kindergarten. Each one of their proud and excited faces are among my finest memories.
I’m new to gardening as well. I’m in south Florida and my garden is just getting started. You’re so encouraging and I’ve learned a lot from watching your channel.
I find it easier to just melt the butter in the pan before putting in the grilled cheese rather than buttering the bread. That way I don't have to worry about having cold butter.
I had no idea until you mentioned your job in this video that you worked full-time. Omg girl. How on earth do you do it!!! I've been watching for about a month now and maybe it was because I was watching several a day, lol. Anyway, my absolute adoration and admiration of you has just shot into the stratosphere. I can't imagine doing everything you do in a day,but now I feel like I maybe could, at least some of it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ♥
Tomato bisque with grilled cheese, a reminder of what mom made whenever we weren’t feeling well! I can’t wait to try your recipe, it looks so creamy! ❤️
I used your tomato soup recipe but omitted the oil/ butter and used dairy free milk due to my health. My husband and I loved it! Thank you for such a delicious recipe.
The soup looks Amazing. I love how you explain what the ingredients do for the dish before adding and why your doing things a certain way. I did not know that about garlic, that information helps me for other recipes as well. Thank you for all that you teach. Im always impressed with the knowledge you share.
I love to watch your videos. I’m addicted. I just don’t see where you get all that energy from. You are definitely kin to the Bunny Energizer. Lol. All I can say is Josh is one lucky man. You aim to please and you do just that and he’s so talented too. Enjoyed all the videos so far. I love the way you cook and explain techniques the way you do. I’m a 71 year retired RN. Worked for 30 years in that field and loved it. Raised 4 Children. Will be moving back to the farm where I grew up. Can’t wait. I’m going to have to save some money and get me a Freeze Dryer and a Vitamix. Keep on making these videos I so enjoy !
Grilled cheese, tomato soup - most simple sounding thing.... But when you add the right techniques! 👌👌 Perfection! Thanks for all the tips! Will definitely be noting these for later!
I made roasted tomato soup in the heat of August when I had tomatoes coming in every day. This makes me want to pull some out and cozy up with grilled cheese but at 39 weeks pregnant tomatoes are amplifying my crazy heartburn. Not too long before baby is here though and I can satisfy that delicious autumn craving 🤤
Congratulations on baby, I had really bad heart burn also, I totally know how you feel. I pray you have a safe and beautiful labor. Then you will be able to eat all the foods you have been missing while enjoying your new addition to the family.
Ok, from one busy working woman to another, this recipe really worked out well before my shift! Drug out the 30 year old vitamix and got to it. My tomatoes were just sitting there waiting for me to get to them. I also put a link in my fb group for your recipe, I hope you don't mind. Just a tiny group. Thank you for your inspiration! Washingtonian here.
I've been binge watching for over a week and absolutely love all you do!!! Thanks for sharing!! FYI, I put a little mayo on the outside of my grilled cheese, instead of butter and it's SO delish!
Becky we are on the same page again!!! I just made creamy tomato soup but added browned hamburger, sliced mushrooms and macaroni noodles! My whole family absolutely loved it!! I used my hand blender! Wish I had a vitamix! 😀 love watching your channel grow! I read all the comments usually for like 20 minutes after and I love how you’re inspiring so many people!
Looking forward to trying some fig preserves on my grilled cheese in the future. I like adding a little bit of smokeD Gouda to along with other cheese which adds just enough smokiness to it. But one of my favorite grilled cheese had provolone, medium cheddar and a cheese I can’t begin to pronounce or spell. It is caramel color which is a good clue you have found the right one since I have never seen another that color. I found it at Wegmans but I don’t think that store is on the west coast. And the final thing I added was thinly sliced apples. There is a mild caramel flavor to the brown cheese. For me this was a great combo. Once winter sets in it would be great to have a grilled cheese challenge using any cheeses except American to challenge everyone’s imagination.
It is so wonderful that the other channels are starting to recognise how great your content is. Come on Josh, camera time! 100k subscribers was the limit!
I know tomato soup and grilled cheese is a classic but you brought it up a notch or three. Scratch soup - looks amazing and those grilled cheeses with your jams?!?!? I’m drooling over here. Thanks!
Becky you’re such a delight with all of your skills. You remind me of my granddaughter Savannah, whom like you, is amazing in everything she does. Of course she got most of these traits from her grandmother LOL! Always look forward to your videos, you’re one of a kind.💕
I love watching your channel!. I have gotten all my ideas from you! I have brought a kitchen aid, the cook books and aprons and even start gardening in zone 7a Virginia. Love the ideas and inspiration. Thanks
Your husband must just love the fact that your such a great cook and awesome Gardner, you have inspired me to start growing our own food. Although we don’t have much room to do that but we’re giveing it a try.
A tip for ya. Carrots are really good and healthier to control the acidity of tomatoes in soups and sauces. You can braise it with onions in the beginning. And you can skip sugar. Thanks for this comforting video
This was perfect! I just made a list of all of the soups I’m going to batch cook and freeze in portions for the fall and winter and I told my hubby I wanted to find a good tomato soup recipe! Then this popped up! It looks fabulous! Thank you so much!
Becky I am so happy I discovered your channel recently. I've watched almost all your videos and I am always excited to see the new ones. I'm from Trinidad in the Caribbean and we think that we're some of the best cooks in the world because we use a lot of seasonings, herbs and spices in our cooking. Let me tell you, you are the first American cook I have seen that makes my heart soar when you cook. You must have Caribbean blood somewhere in you LOL!! I always want to try your food...you are a pleasure to watch. Your channel is real and fyi...I really love when you show us what you think are your imperfections. Don't change a thing because you are wonderful and I'm only slightly more in love with your Mom...she is sooooo adorable. You're a close second, don't worry LOL!!! And I have a tip for you. When I make grilled cheese sandwiches I usually sprinkle garlic powder and/or onion powder and a little italian seasoning on the cheese before it melts...it adds such great flavour to the sandwiches.
Soooo beautifully done! I'm going to watch the Chutney video now, because I must have that recipe! Ooooo if we only had taste-a-vision and smell-a-vision life would be great! Thank you for sharing, you're AMAZING!
Hi Becky, I've never made tomato soup, but this looks so so sooo delicious, I will have to give it a try, even if it's spring time and the days are so much warmer here in Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦 Thanks for sharing, I love watching your videos 😘
Quintessential Comfort Food (QCF) Becky: “If the recipe calls for 2 cloves of garlic, I typically add 10!” Bookworm: “If the recipe calls for 2 cloves of garlic, I typically add 2 nanoparticles.” 🤓 Drummer: “This is delicious, honey! Hmmm…it could maybe use a touch of garlic? 😬 I know. Never mind. It’s perfect.”
Love all this! One tip a chef gave me a while ago: use Mayo instead of butter on the outside of your grilled cheese for even better (and less greasy) toast 😊
Hi Becca and Josh. You help me relive the time in my life when I could garden and preserve some of our food. We travelled around a lot and sometimes had to share garden space. Also grew veggies in my flower beds (and had some airmen help themselves to my tomatoes just before I went to pick them for supper. Oh well, hope they enjoyed them.
This video was exactly what I needed to watch today as it drizzled and started to snow. Perfectly comforting. I discovered your channel about a month ago and have thoroughly loved every video. Thanks for keeping it real and inviting us into your kitchen and garden.
The Vitamix makes such a huge difference with tomatoes. Why bother skinning them with the Vitamix? It’s super smooth where the hand blender leaves a chunky skin texture if you don’t remove the skins. I got a Vitamix for christmas this year and was hoping that when tomato season came my suspicion that the skins would be smooth and unnoticeable would be true and it was.
Grilled cheese and tomato soup!!!! These are comfort foods for me! When I tried to eat really frugal these are my go to. I was so excited to see you picked grilled cheese and tomato soup !!!!!!
Thank you for the recipes! I just wanted to say after last Sunday seeing this, (yet another one of your delicious videos) I ran down to our Farmers Market and bought 20LBs of overripe tomatoes at a discount. I then followed all your instructions. OMGoodness, the soup was so delicious! I cannot believe the skins and the seeds didn't make the sauce bitter as I have always been taught they would. I even made the grilled cheese sami, but I used smoked mozz and provolone. And it was also delectable. I made the cowboy candy a couple of weeks ago also. Another win! Thanks again for sharing your garden, home, and life with all of us. I appreciate it a lot.
looks delicious! Are you still going to do Thanksgiving vids with your mom? Looking forward to it already 😅 Also, a friend cans pickled cucumber in her DISHWASHER 😆, have you ever heard of that? Id love to see how and if it works... Love your channel!🤗
Tomato soup is my favorite! I will make this for sure. I do make my own bread.. and have for years. You are right. Anytime I go to a gathering, I am asked to bring my bread. Love it! Thank you for all the time you hive us!!
Love the idea of the tomato soup and the cheese balsamic onion sandwich wow sounds amazing Becky. the channel has helped me to be more self-sufficient. many thanks xxx
I love the way you described how to caramelize the onions. I have only recently learned how to do that but starting with higher heat will cut down my all around cooking time. 💞
MISSION COMPLETED! I have searched and searched for which series vitamix you had and I ended up buying an e520 at Costco and stumbled across this video and the fact that you linked the explorian series I’m happy I made the right choice.
I made this soup!! Oh my goodness!! Everything was fresh from our garden. Honestly the best soup we have ever had! Even my son scooped up every last drop
I got the onions, butter, and olive oil (and salt) going & some froze tomatoes roasting and thought...oh! I best go recheck the recipe! Becky to the rescue! Believe it or not, this is my first time making homemade tomato soup! 😱 I've grown them & loved them (I'm the EXTRA TOMATOES on everything girl) yet it's taken me 50 years to turn them into soup!
Loved this and many of your vids. You have inspired me to get back to gardening and canning. I used to can tomatoes, apple juice, meat when my kids were younger. Empty nester here now.
I was always the person who said they hated cooking but there is something about you and your videos that just inspire me to get in the kitchen. I cant wait to make this recipe!
Looks great! When I am in a hurry to get fast grilled cheese sandwiches, I put them unbuttered on a plate and microwave for 10-2- seconds just to get cheese warm and almost melty. Then I put each one (still unbuttered) in a small nonstick pan and toast the bread. These come out great for my taste.
new subscriber!!! 🥰 i absolutely love your videos! you match my energy of cooking and i love that! i also love how you take such pride in your homegrown veggies and made-from-scratch recipes! 🤍 one tip i think you would love is to make your butter from scratch! it’s so easy and so much more delicious and healthier than store bought. all you need is some heavy cream and mix it in your kitchen aid (add whatever herbs you want) and then once it separates into chunks, rinse it and smush it together and it’s butter!!
The soup looks so delicious with the fresh tomatoes. And your grilled cheese sandwiches, when you crunched into them, wow! What a perfect combination! Thanks, Becky.
I love my Vitamix also ! I’m in my 60’s and as a child I can remember watching the vitamix exhibit and thinking someday I’m going to have a Vitamix and I do!
Darlin', I'm a 70 yr old woman who has gardened and cooked homemade meals from scratch all my life......and I have NEVER achieved what you have - in the garden or in the kitchen!! WOW - what an inspiration - I can't get enough of watching you - you are adorable, kind, positive, talented, and downright nice. You are also very blessed in so many ways! I am so happy that I have found your channel! Thank you so much for sharing your life with all of us!!
Yep the old adage, way to a mans heart is through his stomach. Very lucky guy!
She’s a machine, but in a good way.❤ Have you seen her cooking Thanksgiving prep with her Mom? You’ll see that it’s all in the family.
I agree! I’d like to see her hubby along side of her! 😉👍🏻
What a lovely thing to say! ❤❤❤
It’s really inspiring to see someone who shows so much of the “real life” side of things. When I watch other RUclipsrs, it can be a disheartening when it seems like they dedicate every waking hour to their home steads. Watching your videos, seeing how you manage to do all this and work full time and have so much going on in your life, makes me feel like this is something I could actually achieve myself one day. Thank you for all the inspiration!!
You can do it!! Thank you for your kind words :)
I can't tell you why these videos are so comforting. Its like having a sister who's excitedly sharing what she's passionate about. I live in about as Urban of a place as you get, but this is making me want to have a tomato plant in my window :)
I 100% agree! She gives me the best older sister vibes 🥰🥰
This is sad, but I get a granddaughter vibe! Yes, some of my grandkids are in their 30s, but she could cook for me anytime. Lol
Agreed
She's very genuine and a great teacher
I could watch and listen to you explain things for days. I have learned so much from you and for that I am grateful.
I’m so glad you participated in this collab since new viewers will discover you.
Here’s an idea for you to try in your roaster one day: caramelize a boatload of onions. I’ve done it in my crockpot for around 10-14 hours. You can then save meal-sized portions for later use - a great start on meal prep!
Do you mix it every now and then?
@@flowergod12 you can because most of us like to fuss a bit. But you don’t really need to. It cooks down on its own and it’s evenly caramelized by the time it’s done!
Becky I cannot say how helpful your videos are, I normally put something on for entertainment while I do my hair in the morning but my husband is very happy with my new (less stressful more organised) approach to cooking! Keep up the videos x
Agreed
Wow thank you for sharing with me
I am so happy to see Souptember! Growing up, my mom was a soup master. Now that she's gone, every bowl I eat reminds me of her. Not only are you a great cook, but I have no idea where you get so much energy from!

This is very interesting. Our vitamix actually makes soup hot because it spins so fast lol so 🤷
I think it’s the rule for anything but a Vitamix, so anybody who tries this recipe and has another blender, don’t try this. Also, don’t fill it as full as she did. Or use an immersion blender, even better. Vitamix is in a different category than just blender.
I was thinking this too while watching!
Wow thank you!!
Even with a vitamix, blended very hot liquids releases a large amount of steam very quickly. Best to have some venting
You are just the happiest discovery! I’m loving everything I’m learning from your videos! Thanks girl!
That’s exactly how I feel! I just discovered her a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely adore her and this channel!
I love how you always explain the chemistry behind cooking and take time to teach us viewers. Congrats on your new subscribers and as I recall Josh was going to make a cameo when you hire 100,000. I couldn’t have missed him because I always watch for your new posts. Thanks for being you

I agree, watching how fast this channel has grown has been amazing! 😍

Just wanted to tell y'all that we made this soup tonight and it was the best tomato soup we've ever had! Thank you for this delicious recipe.
I made tomato soup before with my garden tomatos, cream and salt. Came out excellent. I de-seeded and blended the tomatoes first.
If I didn't seed my tomatoes the soup came out grainy. I also peel my tomatoes before cooking.
I just de-seed. The is peel blended up is not noticeable. More color and vitamins too@@keith7046
I am from Ontario Canada and I just started watching your videos, when I was younger my dad grew a garden pretty much the same size that you have and I would always be out there with him tending to it, I got married and had my 4 kids and did not have any time to do a garden, now that I am in my 60's and moving to a new town out in the country I am going to build a garden come spring of 2023.

Thanks so much for all your videos, they are very informative and very helpful :)
I was wondering if you could make a video talking about the types of canned goods you give away as gifts for the holidays? That would be wonderful!
YES!!
I love how you problem solve and overcome dissapointment so cheerfully! It makes me just want to try all the things I have in my mind.
You are motivating, real and delightful to watch and listen to!
Thank you so much.

Becky love your channel and your enthusiasm is contagious. I like many watchers am on a very tight budget with a very small social security check. While I'd like to buy the vitamix and other items you feature there us mo room in my budget. I love your channel and you make it seem like so much fun to be gardening and cooking. It's not feasible for some of us who are doing good just to get any food from the local grocery store.
Id love to have a freeze drying machine and freeze dry a lot of stuff instead of taking up freezer space but the cost is not in my budget. I'm sure others who love your channel are facing the same problem how to do these things that you teach without the products to do them like the Vitamix, or a freeze drying machine. Could you teach some alternatives to your recipes that dont need these expensive products?
Please keep doing your channel and teaching people because your joy for what you do is needed these days.

I can’t wait to try out the soup…my favorite grilled cheese has turkey, thin apple slices, and honey mustard!!
That was one of the meals I taught my 5th graders at our school for the 4H program. Always a hit when they learned how to make the soup.
Kids learning to cook is priceless.
I taught all my grandkids to make scrambled eggs when they started Kindergarten. Each one of their proud and excited faces are among my finest memories.
I’m new to gardening as well. I’m in south Florida and my garden is just getting started. You’re so encouraging and I’ve learned a lot from watching your channel.
I find it easier to just melt the butter in the pan before putting in the grilled cheese rather than buttering the bread. That way I don't have to worry about having cold butter.
I had no idea until you mentioned your job in this video that you worked full-time. Omg girl. How on earth do you do it!!! I've been watching for about a month now and maybe it was because I was watching several a day, lol.
Anyway, my absolute adoration and admiration of you has just shot into the stratosphere. I can't imagine doing everything you do in a day,but now I feel like I maybe could, at least some of it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ♥
Also, the faces you make when you taste your cooking are so cute!❤
Tomato bisque with grilled cheese, a reminder of what mom made whenever we weren’t feeling well! I can’t wait to try your recipe, it looks so creamy! ❤️
My mom, too! I am 60, and I STILL want cream of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich when I don’t feel well…
I used your tomato soup recipe but omitted the oil/ butter and used dairy free milk due to my health. My husband and I loved it! Thank you for such a delicious recipe.
The soup looks Amazing. I love how you explain what the ingredients do for the dish before adding and why your doing things a certain way. I did not know that about garlic, that information helps me for other recipes as well. Thank you for all that you teach. Im always impressed with the knowledge you share.
I love to watch your videos. I’m addicted. I just don’t see where you get all that energy from. You are definitely kin to the Bunny Energizer. Lol. All I can say is Josh is one lucky man. You aim to please and you do just that and he’s so talented too. Enjoyed all the videos so far. I love the way you cook and explain techniques the way you do. I’m a 71 year retired RN. Worked for 30 years in that field and loved it. Raised 4 Children. Will be moving back to the farm where I grew up. Can’t wait. I’m going to have to save some money and get me a Freeze Dryer and a Vitamix. Keep on making these videos I so enjoy !
Yes! Recipes are like “two cloves of garlic” but I’m like “that MUST BE a typo. I’m sure they mean two BULBS.” 😂
Same for me with virtually all spices. My goodness, I've seen spice cake recipes with a measly 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. Make that a handful!
😂
haha yes!!
Ya can never have too much garlic!
Hahaha the truth I love my garlic too
Grilled cheese, tomato soup - most simple sounding thing.... But when you add the right techniques! 👌👌 Perfection! Thanks for all the tips! Will definitely be noting these for later!
I made roasted tomato soup in the heat of August when I had tomatoes coming in every day. This makes me want to pull some out and cozy up with grilled cheese but at 39 weeks pregnant tomatoes are amplifying my crazy heartburn. Not too long before baby is here though and I can satisfy that delicious autumn craving 🤤
Congratulations on baby, I had really bad heart burn also, I totally know how you feel. I pray you have a safe and beautiful labor. Then you will be able to eat all the foods you have been missing while enjoying your new addition to the family.
Congratulations!!!!! Soon you'll have baby in your arms and tomato soup in a cup!
Is baby here yet?
Update: Baby Alan arrived safe and healthy and I've been enjoying tomato soup from the freezer and grilled cheese in this chilly Canadian weather 😊
Ok, from one busy working woman to another, this recipe really worked out well before my shift! Drug out the 30 year old vitamix and got to it. My tomatoes were just sitting there waiting for me to get to them. I also put a link in my fb group for your recipe, I hope you don't mind. Just a tiny group.
Thank you for your inspiration! Washingtonian here.
I've been binge watching for over a week and absolutely love all you do!!! Thanks for sharing!! FYI, I put a little mayo on the outside of my grilled cheese, instead of butter and it's SO delish!
Becky we are on the same page again!!! I just made creamy tomato soup but added browned hamburger, sliced mushrooms and macaroni noodles! My whole family absolutely loved it!! I used my hand blender! Wish I had a vitamix! 😀 love watching your channel grow! I read all the comments usually for like 20 minutes after and I love how you’re inspiring so many people!
Looking forward to trying some fig preserves on my grilled cheese in the future. I like adding a little bit of smokeD Gouda to along with other cheese which adds just enough smokiness to it. But one of my favorite grilled cheese had provolone, medium cheddar and a cheese I can’t begin to pronounce or spell. It is caramel color which is a good clue you have found the right one since I have never seen another that color. I found it at Wegmans but I don’t think that store is on the west coast. And the final thing I added was thinly sliced apples. There is a mild caramel flavor to the brown cheese. For me this was a great combo.
Once winter sets in it would be great to have a grilled cheese challenge using any cheeses except American to challenge everyone’s imagination.
You are so genuine, I love your channel and your love for food, gardening and life! I am vegetarian, but still love to watch your food preparation.
It is so wonderful that the other channels are starting to recognise how great your content is. Come on Josh, camera time! 100k subscribers was the limit!
For some strange reason all your videos are so relaxing and comforting. I am not sure why.
This is perfect timing I’m craving soup now that I’m recovering from a flu, love your channel, keep going
Oh no I hope you are feeling better!
I know tomato soup and grilled cheese is a classic but you brought it up a notch or three. Scratch soup - looks amazing and those grilled cheeses with your jams?!?!? I’m drooling over here. Thanks!
Becky you’re such a delight with all of your skills. You remind me of my granddaughter Savannah, whom like you, is amazing in everything she does. Of course she got most of these traits from her grandmother LOL! Always look forward to your videos, you’re one of a kind.💕
I love watching your channel!. I have gotten all my ideas from you! I have brought a kitchen aid, the cook books and aprons and even start gardening in zone 7a Virginia. Love the ideas and inspiration. Thanks
Your husband must just love the fact that your such a great cook and awesome Gardner, you have inspired me to start growing our own food. Although we don’t have much room to do that but we’re giveing it a try.
He likes it for sure :)
A tip for ya. Carrots are really good and healthier to control the acidity of tomatoes in soups and sauces. You can braise it with onions in the beginning. And you can skip sugar. Thanks for this comforting video
This was perfect! I just made a list of all of the soups I’m going to batch cook and freeze in portions for the fall and winter and I told my hubby I wanted to find a good tomato soup recipe! Then this popped up! It looks fabulous! Thank you so much!
And it looks so easy! Although, I’m going to have to buy a vitamix, obviously!
@@misssagacious I just priced one myself…. My hubby thought I was joking! But I’ve wanted one for a long time!
Becky I am so happy I discovered your channel recently. I've watched almost all your videos and I am always excited to see the new ones. I'm from Trinidad in the Caribbean and we think that we're some of the best cooks in the world because we use a lot of seasonings, herbs and spices in our cooking. Let me tell you, you are the first American cook I have seen that makes my heart soar when you cook. You must have Caribbean blood somewhere in you LOL!! I always want to try your food...you are a pleasure to watch. Your channel is real and fyi...I really love when you show us what you think are your imperfections. Don't change a thing because you are wonderful and I'm only slightly more in love with your Mom...she is sooooo adorable. You're a close second, don't worry LOL!!!
And I have a tip for you. When I make grilled cheese sandwiches I usually sprinkle garlic powder and/or onion powder and a little italian seasoning on the cheese before it melts...it adds such great flavour to the sandwiches.
Soooo beautifully done! I'm going to watch the Chutney video now, because I must have that recipe! Ooooo if we only had taste-a-vision and smell-a-vision life would be great! Thank you for sharing, you're AMAZING!
Your husband is so elusive!!! Lol. I enjoy your videos so much. Thanks for being so candid and "real".
Hi Becky, I've never made tomato soup, but this looks so so sooo delicious, I will have to give it a try, even if it's spring time and the days are so much warmer here in Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦
Thanks for sharing, I love watching your videos 😘
This is a perfect way to use up tomatoes if you just canned enough. Thanks. Good rainy night meal

Becky: “If the recipe calls for 2 cloves of garlic, I typically add 10!”
Bookworm: “If the recipe calls for 2 cloves of garlic, I typically add 2 nanoparticles.” 🤓
Drummer: “This is delicious, honey! Hmmm…it could maybe use a touch of garlic? 😬 I know. Never mind. It’s perfect.”
Beautiful soup and grilled cheese! I would never have thought to add those jams! And I love your way of cleaning that blender. Yum. Thank you. ~Sharon
Love all this! One tip a chef gave me a while ago: use Mayo instead of butter on the outside of your grilled cheese for even better (and less greasy) toast 😊
I tried that once because people raved about it, but I was not impressed! Maybe I’ll try it again sometime when I get a cast iron Pan.
Yes! I grew up buttering the outside, but once I met my Husband he told me to add mayo instead. I will never go back to using butter. 😂😂
hmmm, interesting!
I also use mayonnaise in place if butter for grilling sandwiches but use it sparsely. Too good!
@@aliceserna614 Yes, I was going to make the same comment about using mayo and you're exactly right. Put in on very thin.
Hi Becca and Josh. You help me relive the time in my life when I could garden and preserve some of our food. We travelled around a lot and sometimes had to share garden space. Also grew veggies in my flower beds (and had some airmen help themselves to my tomatoes just before I went to pick them for supper. Oh well, hope they enjoyed them.
Tomato soup looks so good AND the grilled cheese “sounds” delish!! Can’t wait to try to make those spreads, too!!
This video was exactly what I needed to watch today as it drizzled and started to snow. Perfectly comforting. I discovered your channel about a month ago and have thoroughly loved every video. Thanks for keeping it real and inviting us into your kitchen and garden.
The Vitamix makes such a huge difference with tomatoes. Why bother skinning them with the Vitamix? It’s super smooth where the hand blender leaves a chunky skin texture if you don’t remove the skins. I got a Vitamix for christmas this year and was hoping that when tomato season came my suspicion that the skins would be smooth and unnoticeable would be true and it was.
Great to know that! Thank you
Grilled cheese and tomato soup!!!! These are comfort foods for me! When I tried to eat really frugal these are my go to. I was so excited to see you picked grilled cheese and tomato soup !!!!!!
I'm the only person in our house who eats cheese toasties I love them haven't tried the balsamic so will give it a go. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the recipes! I just wanted to say after last Sunday seeing this, (yet another one of your delicious videos) I ran down to our Farmers Market and bought 20LBs of overripe tomatoes at a discount. I then followed all your instructions. OMGoodness, the soup was so delicious! I cannot believe the skins and the seeds didn't make the sauce bitter as I have always been taught they would. I even made the grilled cheese sami, but I used smoked mozz and provolone. And it was also delectable.
I made the cowboy candy a couple of weeks ago also.
Another win! Thanks again for sharing your garden, home, and life with all of us. I appreciate it a lot.
looks delicious!
Are you still going to do Thanksgiving vids with your mom? Looking forward to it already 😅
Also, a friend cans pickled cucumber in her DISHWASHER 😆, have you ever heard of that? Id love to see how and if it works...
Love your channel!🤗
Our dishwasher steams at 271 degrees. Maybe a project for next year. We can tomatoes in the oven at 250 for an hour. Hmmmm...
Tomato soup is my favorite! I will make this for sure. I do make my own bread.. and have for years. You are right. Anytime I go to a gathering, I am asked to bring my bread. Love it! Thank you for all the time you hive us!!
Girl!!! You are a rock star- my favorite lunch AND you are at 123,000 subs! We love you Becky!🥰
Yay! Thank you!
Love the idea of the tomato soup and the cheese balsamic onion sandwich wow sounds amazing Becky. the channel has helped me to be more self-sufficient. many thanks xxx
Love your videos! Thank you for being so down to earth! My daughter loves watching your videos with me :)
I really admire your energy and tenacity. You are an inspiration!
I have forgotten the joy of the simplicity of tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches, it has to be at least ten years since I've had that combo!
Tomato soup is one of my favorites ! The use of garlic is a plus! Thank You!
Just found your channel. I'm learning so much. Now I can't wait to get my garden up and running again next spring!!
I love the way you described how to caramelize the onions. I have only recently learned how to do that but starting with higher heat will cut down my all around cooking time. 💞
Omgosh I’m drooling the entire time I’m watching this!!! Looks amazing! Thanks for the video!
MISSION COMPLETED! I have searched and searched for which series vitamix you had and I ended up buying an e520 at Costco and stumbled across this video and the fact that you linked the explorian series I’m happy I made the right choice.
I just finished making this with the last of the garden tomatoes. Oh my! It's outstanding!
Becky, I really enjoy watching you cook…so much more than the “cooking channel”!
I broke my femur last Saturday. Got out of the hospital yesterday. I feeling it’s good day to watch videos. Yes I’m non weight bearing for 5-6 weeks.
That jam addition to the grilled cheese is brilliant!
I made this soup!! Oh my goodness!! Everything was fresh from our garden. Honestly the best soup we have ever had! Even my son scooped up every last drop
I like re watching this video especially on a rainy day when I fancy tomatoe soup 😅
I got the onions, butter, and olive oil (and salt) going & some froze tomatoes roasting and thought...oh! I best go recheck the recipe!
Becky to the rescue!
Believe it or not, this is my first time making homemade tomato soup! 😱
I've grown them & loved them (I'm the EXTRA TOMATOES on everything girl) yet it's taken me 50 years to turn them into soup!
Great tip about blending the dairy! The soup and grilled cheese look yummy.
Loved this and many of your vids. You have inspired me to get back to gardening and canning. I used to can tomatoes, apple juice, meat when my kids were younger. Empty nester here now.
You inspire me more with each of your videos I watch. My goal is to start with one raised bed and then go from there.
That soup looks AMAZING!
I was always the person who said they hated cooking but there is something about you and your videos that just inspire me to get in the kitchen. I cant wait to make this recipe!
Wow, thank you
Looks great! When I am in a hurry to get fast grilled cheese sandwiches, I put them unbuttered on a plate and microwave for 10-2- seconds just to get cheese warm and almost melty. Then I put each one (still unbuttered) in a small nonstick pan and toast the bread. These come out great for my taste.
I'm working my way through all of your videos, and I'm completely inspired. Thank you so much for sharing your talent.
new subscriber!!! 🥰 i absolutely love your videos! you match my energy of cooking and i love that! i also love how you take such pride in your homegrown veggies and made-from-scratch recipes! 🤍 one tip i think you would love is to make your butter from scratch! it’s so easy and so much more delicious and healthier than store bought. all you need is some heavy cream and mix it in your kitchen aid (add whatever herbs you want) and then once it separates into chunks, rinse it and smush it together and it’s butter!!
Never too much garlic! Love this. Thanks for the recipe and I have to try the fig jam on my grilled cheese!!
The soup looks so delicious with the fresh tomatoes. And your grilled cheese sandwiches, when you crunched into them, wow! What a perfect combination! Thanks, Becky.
Thank you so much 🤗
I enjoy all these healthy recipes. I always want to stop working my day job and cook after watching them!
I loved this video! I will definitely be trying your tomato soup. Thanks and God bless! 😇
I’m so excited to get this super try. You always make it look so easy for beginners to jump in and try something new.
I have to admit I’m not really a “soup” person but I have always loved tomato soup. Thanks for showing how to make it from scratch!
Love this SOUPTEMBER collaboration!!! Grilled cheese and tomato soup…YUM! This looks delicious. Thank you! 😃
You always teach so much extra information in your videos and I appreciated that so much! Thank you!
I love my Vitamix also ! I’m in my 60’s and as a child I can remember watching the vitamix exhibit and thinking someday I’m going to have a Vitamix and I do!
Tomato soup and grilled cheese is one of our comfort meals. I like to put cream cheese, pepper jack and provolone on ours.
