I appreciated the fact that you’re willing to use a product like the bullion‘s that you normally would not use. I think it’s very important to be versatile like this. I see so many preppers talk about GMO‘s and organics and I can tell you from personal experience surviving hurricane Michael and having to live off of whatever we could get for a month that the thought of organics and non-GMO‘s in what I was eating never crossed my mind! I was so grateful for food that had some flavor, I was grateful for any food at all. I love the way you make things fun and tasty for your food storage and I think this is so important it’s equally important to remember for people who are on a budget that just to have some basic healthy food that you can afford and not go into debt for is of great necessity.

I’m a single, senior female who doesn’t enjoy cooking. But I do have fun dehydrating food and I love soups. I put the dried ingredients in pint jars for a single serving “convenience” meal.

I love your channel. You only say the necessary information required for me to learn and it's hard for me to learn things with this ADHD.

I'm 28 and pregnant with my first and in the usa I'm hearing about food manufacturers being cyber attacked and I'm worried about our food security.

I'm glad you make these videos. There's more to food security than just canning. I'm glad I found you. Thank you.

Well, now I know what I’m gonna do with all the lentils I have stocked up on. I just kept buying them because they are a good source of protein, but I had no idea what to do with them. Thanks for sharing. Now I’m looking forward to that book.

I love how she explains cooking at home and cooking for a everything down emergency.

Such a great lesson!!! I am a soup lover & love to make soups, have been wondering how to incorporate soups in my food storage without having a collection of cans/jars. (not a canner, limited space, learning to dehydrate & vacuum seal) My mind is whirling with ways to adapt this, and other, soup recipes to my preferred preservation methods. Thank you so very much for sharing your important healthy, sustainable expertise. I love, love, love your presentations. I can imagine your collrge classes are most popular!

I make dry soup and chili mixes all the time. I’ll put the spices in a Tupperware 2 ounce Midget so when I go to make the soup or chili, I can take the container of spices out so I can rinse the beans before cooking in my Instant Pot.

Here is a tip I learned in Girl Scouts before you cook in pans on the fire cover bottom and sides outside of pan with dish soap liquid. This will keep them from turning black

OMG'sh Pam, YES!!!! I made what I call "grab and go soup jars"... Layers freeze dried: green beans, corn, carrots, peas, barley OR potatoes. Then in a snack size zip lock bag - 2 tbs FD tomato powder, 1 tbs beef bouillon pwd, and a variety of other spices. I drop in an O2 absorber and vacuum seal. Using 1 #10 can of each veggie made 17 quarts of shelf stable meals. They have become our go to comfort food during power outages!

I cannot eat lentils. However, I watch with interest, taking notes, on your method for developing your recipes. Thank you for your lessons! I'm never too old to learn something new

[KFuocoHoney]

I am new to dehydrating things. I am happy to report that I tried this soup. My husband and I both really like this soup. So thank you for the information on making this.

I had no idea that nail polish remover would erase the felt tip markings on the lids!! Another great video!!!

[amandaspaulding]

I write on my lids with a permanent marker as well. A little trick I learned instead of nail polish remover, take a dry erase marker and scribble over where you've written with the permanent marker and it wipes right off with a paper towel. Permanent marker gone lid is clean.

I like the idea of having everything in one jar and ready to go. I always wash and sort lentils before I cook them. It would have been interesting to see you take the jar of ingredients 1. to the pot, 2. shown us cooking times, and 3. to the bowl ready to eat. Thanks for sharing this one jar idea.

I spent several hours today looking for a book with meals in a jar. So many require freeze dried food which doesn’t work for me. I’m looking forward to the book you are working on. This looks very promising! 😊

[dorothyyoung]

These make great gifts!

So many variations can be imagined — green or yellow split peas; barley; white, brown, or wild rice; spice variations; add a can of tomatoes …

Ethnic grocery stores are a great source for pulses and grains as well as spices.

Watched this again! I watch them all multiple times. !!

[ellelatorre]

I was so taken and excited by this simple tutorial I jumped on Amazon and ordered my dehydrated vegetables and spices; ran to the store and purchased the lentils. 24hours later my Amazon order arrived and I filled my jars! Now I have "instant" food security as I slowly dehydrate my items for future Dry Soup Mixes. So, if anyone out there wishes they could do this (those who do not dehydrate), you absolutely can. Thank you, Rose Red Homestead!

Genius, Pam!! I love how you separated out the ingredients by cooking stage/process! 💡💡💡
