Foraging for a Hearty Winter Soup in January

This time around we revisit an old episode "Foraging for a wild edible winter soup" and attempt to forage a much more substantial winter meal that sticks to the bones!

This video is for educational purposes only.

For a soup thickener you could use the huge taproot under a cattail. Tastes like potatoe, when crushed with water it makes almost a glue like substance its almost pure starch.. Screen out the matter and dry the starch and grind it to powder. Lasts forever. If you do a small pack then you can just dry it and stash it

This is so great! There was a cooking show on TV years ago, that the chefs had to go and forage their own herbs and vegetables, and hunt their own protein, using the traditional methods of the indigenous or local peoples. I loved it, and they canceled after just one season I believe. This is along that same vein. Great work!

My favorite thing (other than the actual content of course) is the YouTube captions like it thinks the river is applauding and the blender is music it’s pretty amusing

Here is a little FYI: I don't know if you have this around the area you live, but their is a plant called "field penny-cress." I notice this plant in many mediterranean and middle eastern seasoning. It is a wild spice that taste almost like sweet garlic. you strip the seeds off, grind off the papery outside, and you get these little seeds that look like poppy seeds.

OMG you stole my heart when you fed those carrot tops to those tiny pets you have, so adorable. This is a beautiful, healthy and informative video, I wonder why you don't have more than a million views. I wish the traffic that goes to nonsensical videos all the time diverts here for good.

tastes better than fast food junk food...and the nutrition level is beyond lightyears ahead as well :)

In my head I imagined the bull thistle would be similar to artichoke because it looked very similar to an artichoke heart

Something that I commonly use as a thickener is common mallow. It is a member of the okra family, so it can be used as a replacement for it as a thickener in gumbo or soups and stews! The whole plant is edible. It is usually around until fairly late in the season and comes up pretty early in my area as well. That mustard that you grabbed looks more like hedge mustard than it does field mustard.

Nice job. In PA, we can`t get any wild stuff now, but, when the spring weeds start to grow, and all through summer and fall, I collect dock, violet, garlic mustard, dandelion, tall lettuce, chickweed and other greens and their flowers and dry them and store them in paper bags for making a vegetable side dish for supper and make powder with the rest. A tablespoon of powder sprinkled on sauteed potato and onion with a couple of eggs and cayenne pepper is great.

This is a huge reward after a long day of foraging and processing ❤

Thanks for watching even despite the poor audio levels. Happy Foraging!

Ohoho black walnuts, I'm already sold. Where I am in western NY, one could easily forage literally hundreds of pounds. They are absolutely everywhere and most people here in yuppie vill can't be bothered. I still have a few from last fall. I got way more hickory nuts still but that's because I eat them less lol

Thank you for the video! I hope you continue to make content like this. I’d be interested in a tour of your homestead!

Great video! I did watch your previous soup video a while ago, and I really enjoyed this new and improved winter soup! I'm also in the PNW and always looking to learn more about the edible plants in this area. So I hope we get a new video soon :)

Foraged food is the food for the soul ❤️

I love this! I'd love to see one specific to February. Nice to see you're making videos again
