I have been making my own cream soups since last year, and they taste so much better. The price of canned soups has become way too expensive here in Canada, and if you read the labels, it's not ingredients that i want to put in my body.
I don't have the freezer space for this, so I use a dry mix that I make. 2 cups milk powder 1 1/2 cups cornstarch or corn flour 1/2 cup dry chicken bouillon or any other dry flavor. 4 Tblsps dehydrated onion 2 tips dry basil 2 tips dry sage or thyme 1 tsp black pepper Mix thoroughly. To make Add 1/3 cup of dry mixture with 1.pint of cold water. Cook on low until thickened stirring constantly. If you have freeze dried mushrooms or celery, you can grind those up for your other soup mixture, even dehydrated works. Any blend of veggies except peas will work.
I don't know about celery salt as I never use it. You would have to use too much of either to get the taste of celery that you need. You could add it with powdered celery to get a little more flavor.
We have cream of celery in Australia. I use it the most of all their soups, to make a celery tuna and pasta dish finished with lemon and cashews. It’s my sons favourite. Very frugal meal. ❤ Oil, onions, celery, tuna, cream of celery soup, tin of water, lemon juice and rind,served over pasta. Cashews as an embellishment but not needed.Everyone loves it. I usually triple the quantities and keep the celery fresh and crispy. I buy my tuna at Aldi but I splurge on Molisano pasta or make my own.
Definitely going to try all of these, brilliant. 5:10 I totally imitated your frozen chopped onion; there was one huge onion, didn't want to use the entire amount today, so froze the remainder and thought "Stacey will be proud of me" lol. "Less waste!!"
I have bought some Souper trays, Souper is the brand name. They are xtra large ice cube trays. I freeze my soup in them and remove the soup cubes and put in freezer bags for later. One cube is enough for one person. Saves alot of room in the freezer. I usually make pumpkin soup but i am going to try your recipes. We love soup and toast in the winter. Keep giving me great ideas.
I have some already I got them a few years ago now but they are about $100 to get one set over to NZ now. I have found something in New Zealand I am hoping they will work just as well. These plastic containers have been useless and have broken really easily. Thanks for reaching out to let us know :-)
I use the same mix for seafood chowder when there are specials. Fish heads and frames are always cheap but the best chowder flavour comes from pips or cockles that are steamed for 5 mins and using the liquor that comes off the steaming. I add that to the béchamel along with milk and add fish or other cheap seafood. SO YUM!
You can bottle your own and store on the shelf. Heat your jars to 120°C for half an hour in the oven. Boil the lids. The food should sizzle as you pour it into the hot jars. Make sure you slightly overfill the jars and there are no air pockets, poke with a chopstick. The lid should pop down when it cools. I use recycled passata jars (narrow and tall with small mouth) and gherkin jars (short and wide) each is 680ml and roughly 2 meals. You can also use smaller 380ml jars but I find they are not two meals and too much for one. You night find smaller jars that are just right. Store in a cool dark space. I get cheap fresh ingredients from my local market on close towards end of day. Usually I have too much and it needs cooking within a day or so, so always have bulk to store.
I’ve only ever made mushroom soup or mixed veg. I want to try your celery recipe today, some for lunch with the crusty bread I made yesterday following your recipe. I am loving your no nonsense no faff instructions with perfectly tasty results. Thanks so much.
Greetings from across the ditch Stacey. Well done ! I'm supporting your channel every inch of the way. You remind me so much of myself. Keep the content coming. You're doing extremely well !! 👍👍👍
Can soups are full of MSG...I can not use them! I have made my soups with heavy cream and cook them down to thickness desired. Stacy, your cream of celery makes me want to make some and have a bowl with garlic bread on the side. Yum, yum! Thanks for all your cooking videos. 😊❤😊
I make my own cream soups as well - in the chicken one, I do use stock instead of milk, and I save the little bits of back & neck meat from when I made the stock to add in. I also make cream of onion soup. Your recipes for the mushroom and celery both look better than my recipes and I will make them the next soup-making day. I'm always looking to improve, and you are helping me do that. I'm slowly working my way through your back videos as I just found your channel recently. I'm so happy I found you!
Ohbmy gosh, it's such a lovely message to wake up to. Thanks for your support, and I'm glad some of my recipes are coming in handy for you. I cringe at my starting videos, but it's also funny to see the color in my hair since transitioning to Grey. Thank you, and have a wonderful rest of your day x
Thank you. As I just recently found your channel, it will take me a while to look at all your back catalogue of videos, but all the ones I have seen to date are amazing. I really like your channel!
I have only just found your videos. You and your ideas are wonderful. Really enjoying your company in my lounge room. Thank you. I will try your meals with my next trip to the supermarket 😅😅
Wow! I just made the mushroom soup and it is delicious. I did a half batch but will double in future so I can freeze potion sizes for when I don’t feel like cooking. I am really enjoying your videos and feel so inspired.
I love yr videos but do u have any recipes for using a pressure cooker you could show because I've bought an electric one & can't seem to find recipes for it.keep up the good work
@margaretstreet2764 Does the company from which you bought your pressure cooker have recipes online? I bought the Crockpot Express (which has options for pressure cooking, as well as slow cooking), and I went to their site online, they had a recipe book. I may not make all the recipes from it, but it gives me an idea of times etc. P.S. I bought an actual physical book, but often product sites will have an index of recipes you can read online.
They look delish! Have you been inundated with offers of preserving jars? I ask because I have lots and with my arthritis don’t do as much as I did so if you would like them we will sort out a way of getting them to you.
The reason Campbell's soups are called condensed is because a lot of the liquid has been removed (one can of water or milk). Will you be adding the same amount of liquid before serving these? If not, then I would call these cream of whatever was the main flavor. Not trying to be nitpicking but cream of mushroom sounds so much more appetizing than condensed. Regardless, they look delicious.
I agree cream of mushroom sounds much nicer and yes they are the same as condensed as you would thin them down with either stock, water, milk, or cream.
You seem to buy cream in large quantities and hopefully cheaply. Cream here is AU$5.00 (NZ5.60) per 500ml, so I don't know how you afford it. What does 2Lt of cream cost there?

Thank you for putting this in the comments. I was wondering if you can use celery seed or the salt.

So good! I will try this sometime. Thanks for leaving me a comment with this lovely recipe.
@@FarmersWifeHomestead😊😊
What a great idea using the tops of the celery. No more food waste for me. All those celery leaves I’ve thrown away.
You deserve way more followers. The young folk need to watch and learn.

Also thought you could freeze in smaller portions for a 'cuppa soup' alternative.
Gonna try these! Hello from Arkansas, USA.
My daughter lives in the Hawks Bay area. I will tell her about you, she misses Ranch dressing mix so much!
Oooo I’ve got cauliflower I need to use up… I bet that would be great to use for something like this…thanks for the idea! 😊
These would make great pasta sauces for the quick meals at the end of the stressful day or for the kids to throw together.
Thank you Stacey I really must get some soups made up to freeze, we like and use soup a lot xx
I use the same mix for seafood chowder when there are specials. Fish heads and frames are always cheap but the best chowder flavour comes from pips or cockles that are steamed for 5 mins and using the liquor that comes off the steaming.

That sounds AMAZING, thanks for leaving a great idea for others
Yes, thank you, wondered how I was going to make a seafood chowder with the fish stock I made.
absolutely love this.. makes me realize how badly i need a big chest freezer

Stacey, I have a golden mushroom soup I’ve made for years I found. I double it. It is so good! It with crusty buttered bread is delicious!
Greetings from across the ditch Stacey. Well done ! I'm supporting your channel every inch of the way. You remind me so much of myself. Keep the content coming. You're doing extremely well !! 👍👍👍
Cream of celery…never thought about it before! I use it in my mum’s tuna macaroni bake. Mind you cost not that prohibitive in Australia mostly
Use celery leaves too! That is great. And i make chicken paste so can go very natural
We love soup with homemade buns will give these a try 😋 l will try anything if my family loves they say it's a keeper thank you for sharing
My nana use to peel her mushrooms too!! And I peel mine thinking of my nana
I make a lot of soups . Always pop some in the freezer.. chicken broccoli, and celery, and vegi soups . Yum
They were easier than I thought they would be. Again great to know they exact ingredients.
Thank you! Looking forward to the next stage.
Thanks for watching. Super simple aye!
Love seeing th big chunk of butter going in. I am going to mak your recipes, will b great for me. Thank you.

BTW, your cream of onion soup sounds amazing. Please email me the recipe if you don't mind?
Thank you. As I just recently found your channel, it will take me a while to look at all your back catalogue of videos, but all the ones I have seen to date are amazing. I really like your channel!
Thanks for sharing! Very practical and much healthier than mass-produced soup bases.
Your are so easy to follow iam glad I found you.
I have only just found your videos. You and your ideas are wonderful. Really enjoying your company in my lounge room. Thank you. I will try your meals with my next trip to the supermarket 😅😅

😊Thank you for this.. Great way to save the unused parts fridge veggies for later.
I'm sure your kitchen smells amazing! It's the middle of the night where I am and now I've got a craving for soup.😂
Some time i need a cream. Chicken an crem of mushroom in same receip..i ll try both in same pot
Cream of celery has been discontinued in the Australian stores I've been to. Wonder why?
We don't even sell it here, but it was my favourite of all three
Looks absolutely fabulous. Going to try this.😊Get well soon.
I love yr videos but do u have any recipes for using a pressure cooker you could show because I've bought an electric one & can't seem to find recipes for it.keep up the good work
Hello yes, I have a few up already but have more planned as well. Look for the mac and cheese and the nachos. They are both done in the PC.

Those look awesome! I’ve been wanting to make some cream soups…I’m glad to see this video so I know how easy it will be! Thank you!
I wish I had done it much sooner. Thanks for watching 😊
They look delish! Have you been inundated with offers of preserving jars? I ask because I have lots and with my arthritis don’t do as much as I did so if you would like them we will sort out a way of getting them to you.
Snce watching your videos I am saving so much. and I am eating properly as you have taught me so much. thank you.
looks so easy. I have just been offered some celery (not really a fan) but have decided to give this a go. Thanks
The celery one was my favorite, but I like celery. 😍
Spatular pleeeease.. ❤
Super easy! I'm definitely going to try making my own. Thanks 👍
Super yummy and very easy! I might try some other flavors as well. Stay tuned 😉
❤
I'll bet they taste alot better too. How long do they keep in the freezer?
Is tuna macaroni a thing in the USA?
Looks delicious, will try this with spinach.
Sounds great!
Great idea.
Thanks for watching kirsty. It's super simple and delicious.
Yum!
thank you so much for this video!!!
