Love your channels. Only discovered you 3 months ago. Had no idea how to sew until I took out a Kaffe Fassett quilt Book in library one day. Then I bought it. It was 2019- 20 I made 6 quilts of his that year with the help of brilliant husband measurement technics including SAVING an 8ft x 8ft, out of plumb quilt that only he could rescue, by hauling in a steel/aluminium length of 10ft guttering to size it up against. I never even new that there was quilt making and knitting tutorials on you tube that would actually teach me. I had been curiously ill for 10 yrs so spent majority of that time home and depressed. Ive been in recovery now 7 months albeit a very slow gradual recovery of wasted years. With my loyal steadfast friends and now you Kate i feel I can continue with a renewed sense of optimism to make and learn in a joyful and warm way that has always been missing in my liFOR BEING THE REMARKABLE KIND GENUINE GENTLE SOUL that decided to share stuff one day because you felt like a chat. How fortuitous do us all! You are my first mentor and a lady with a warmth and connectedness to all life and nature, how incredible that I found you. And to thousands of others how incredible I had not 5 yrs ago. There are no words to express my renewed interest in life but to say THANKYOU KATE friends. I can only say THANKYOU for being you. Xx
Tip and trick for peeling the butternut squash. Cut top and bottom off THEN with a Y-potatoe peeler, peel the squash going from top to bottom. You may need to peel twice over the same area to peel the whole thickness of the skin, but so much easier AND safer than peeling with a big knife!
You are both a sweet dear and a genius. Both supported by huge chunks of getty- up-ness. Fresno California is only 60 miles inland as the crowd flies, from the Pacific Coast. All this means we are very far apart, for which I am sad. At one time I have done many of the things you so love to do.

Any of this sound familiar? I am now 82 and enjoying your creativity. Oh, yes. I also had chickens.
Oh yes . . . I thought I recognized those two particular red onions from the day of their tie-up outside in the garden! Loved that video! Both your white and red onions, all tied up, looked so down-to-earth as it were but at the same time worthy of a place in front of the photographer's camera . . . like one who is about to photograph some very nice, delicious & picturesque dishes.
It's always a good day when I get to watch another episode from you, Kate, at the Last Homely House East of the Sea. Thank you for letting me visit you again.
I had so much fun talking to you on this video and then found myself laughing with you over how you moved the mic cord and you are right butternut squash is so hard to cut. I really enjoyed myself. Thanks for the visit.
I used to meet with an older friend weekly for prayer time. After our morning of prayer, she would make soup for our lunch. In the summer, she would make cold soup, which was surprisingly delicious. Thank you for your videos. ❤
Thank you for sharing snippets of your beautiful life with us, you are a natural storyteller and I can never tire of listening/watching you😊❤. I like coconut oil but I love butter more,hehe (I eat raw butter quite often, it's healing) the soup looks delicious😋. Last night I started listening to your Christmas advent readings and I love it so much, please do more if/when you can, maybe the wind in the Willows, ah my favourite book. Thank you again and look forward to your next video. I'm off to pateron to read your blog. (The land of mint) 😁💚❤😉
...just want to add : I read the comments and was blown away by how people love your videos and appreciate you; so it's not only me😱. You are helping a lot of people Kate by these lovely cheerful videos. Thank you again.
Hello Minty Lady! I too am amazed by the lovely comments people leave for me here - what I'm doing is incredibly simple, but it seems to have struck a chord with some... I am so grateful And I have ideas backed up in my head, so it's just a question of time to do everything now. There will be another advent reading next December - when hopefully I won't have a bad cold! Take care Sue and stay warm xxx
Enjoyed the radio program today, thank you for sharing. The recipe looks scrumptious and will try it for tomorrow ‘s supper. This technology can be really marvelous, bringing people all over the world together and teaching us so many wonderful things. Always grateful and sending many blessings 🌟💫✨❣️
Oh, I'm so pleased the link worked - I wasn't sure it would out of the UK - and yes - technology is marvellous! I really enjoy the connections it allows me to make - Thank you! xxx
You can plant your garlic in early spring.. February or March it will just harvest a little later... but really Gallic doesn’t grow all that much in the winter.
Thank you for the recipe Kate. I don’t like coriander but love parsley so I’m good to go 😃 I’m a soup gal, could it every day. My daughter has often talked about the Alkaline diet, so this book is now in my amazon basket. Love your chats and everything about your videos are so pleasing to the eyes. Have a lovely day. A little chilly today 🌹

You can sharpen a knife blade or touch it up by swirling it on the bottom of a ceramic bowl or plate, the unglazed portion. Many thanks for all the hours you have given us, I am gratefull! Oh when I was 15, I wanted a lime green MG Roadster with bright pink leather interior, just ahead of myself and your couch!
You rock Kate! How satisfying it must be to grow your garden.. prepare wonderful,healthy meals. You are a joy to watch..try to catch something On utube of you daily. Love Miss Norma and the girls...it’s obvious what joy they bring you. Well then...the soup looks amazing and I ordered the Book. I will look for u tomorrow...it is always a pleasure listening to such an incredible spirit filled with wisdom and joy...rock on Kate Crone wise woman. Ree USA
It always fun to hang out in your home and learn! I feel like I'm sitting in a comfy chair trying to remember each moment in time. I wish I could smell and taste. 😋 Soup looks and sounds delicious! Such colorful house. I adore it too. Your house is anything but homely!! ❤xo💜xo💙xo💛xo💖xo💚
My dear you are an international treasure...I’m only an beginner gardener but have learned soooo much from you in such a short period of time...stay wonderful stay true!
I think I'd describe myself as a beginner gardener too - I love how we learn from everyone! xxxThank you (International Treasure? I'm not sure my head will fit out of the door soon!xxx)
Ooh! I love the rainbow!!! We got to see one with a full arc on our Christmas drive to my mom's house. Rare treat! I could almost smell the soup, such a yummy combination. Might have to put it on my weekend list. Thank you!!
Kate, I just love your kitchen, it makes me happy and perhaps in our next home, I will be brave and use as much color. I also love when you cook, I'm always looking for new things, and this soup looks lovely and easy to make. Thank you for sharing the recipe in the description. I saw your instagram feed about the accident. There are some times traveling delays just can't be helped. Have a lovely evening. Catherine
Thanks Catherine - I was amazed to find really delicious carrots still in the ground! I have some great leeks too and some cavelo nero but the rest of the garden is MUD! Looking forward to spring! xxx
Thanks for the chat Kate, we just got 15cm of snow last night and it has been really cold for the last few days. Winter has definitely settled in here in Nova Scotia Canada.
Kate, I made this soup tonight for a vegetarian friend and it was wonderful! She loved it and said the house smelled so enticing when sh arrived. We added a dollop of yogurt and then toppings...wow! Thank you for sharing!❤️😘😊
Is the yogurt served on the side? Or, on the top, like a dumpling or oyster crackers? My family is diverse but we must have missed the cooking with yogurt genes. 🤔💖
Love the new introduction and ending. Soup recipe looks good. Not a fan of cilantro/ coriander. Now I know why. Lovely visiting with you on these videos.
I settled down to watch this video about an hour before lunchtime, and with a great big butternut squash in the bowl glaring at me - and there you were, with the perfect soup recipe for my lunch today. I moved the laptop into the kitchen and basically made my own soup alongside you. I made a few subs - e.g., I didn't have any coconut oil so used olive oil and had to use turmeric powder as I didn't have any fresh root, but it still turned out really well. Thanks so much
I doubt you will see this comment now but any way here goes,.....I too struggle with chopping up veg like squash & pumpkin. Recently found a brilliant way. Apart from having a good sharp knife, & one thats reasonably heavy, pick the whole thing up by the handle , like an axe , veg & all & whack it down on the chopping board. Easy peasy. The action of doing that a few times is enough extra force to cut the squash etc without hurting your wrist or hand. I really struggle with things like this usually & found this just last week when I was prepping our dinner. My lovely son had also sharpened our knives for me. After 30 years of marriage I reckoned they needed it ! Love you channel. Love listening to you when Im sewing or just want to relax. Its lovely coming into your home for a few minutes each week. I know the area where you live & its so lovely up there. Thank you for your time making these videos.x
Thank you - I'm glad you know Northumberland - it is a beautiful forgotten corner of the UK isn't it? people on holiday pass by on their way to Scotland or the Lake district, and miss it entirely. That squash treatment sound amazing! one i must try if i am feeling brave enough!! Sometimes, I just make one lengthwise cut and then roast it on the oven - the flesh scoops out easily enough then - but I'd like to try your whacking idea! Take care and thank you for the lovely comments about my channel! xxx
I slice rings or half rings and then pare under the rind with a paring knife. The strip of rind that pares away is flat, going around the edge, and therefore fits the functionality of the hand/ knife. 😊
You are so very creative. That looks like such a lovely soup. I made some minestrone in my slow cooker today that has kale in it and was bitter. Eww. I added a bit of sugar, bullion (sp?) and a splash of red vinegar. I think I fixed it, but didn't eat it tonight. I love cilantro. 😋 i should follow an anti-inflammatory diet for my arthritic knees, but I so love pasta and bread and SUGAR, so it's not carbaholic friendly. I so enjoy your charming videos. Keep up the good work! XXOO from Florida.
Hello to you in Florida! its annoying when something turns out like that - in my experience - the more I try t fix it - the worse it gets! I hope you managed to salvage it! xxx look after your knees! xxx sugar will kill you
I've had years without garlic :( I use it medicinally so I order it dehydrated online when I don't have it. This year, however, I made a mistake of making a double order for planting. Three of my 7 raised beds are garlic. I gave the rest to son and daughter in law. I usually have a plan for the garden by now but I don't. I'll have to double up in the beds, grow less of some things and try to extend the year longer with covers. I'll save most of the cool season veg for the autumn / winter garden. We've had very short springs the last few years anyway. The soup sounds delicious. I like all the ingredients.
It's June 2020 and this is our meal this evening. The smell is divine and we are looking forward to it. Thanks Kate for coming on over to my place and hanging out with me in the kitchen🌻
I loved the Patreon suggested interview you posted Kate! Rethinking how we think about something is always fascinating to me. I enjoyed watching you cook too. I was doing exercises at the same time and it kept me from sitting in front of the screen eating. LOL!
Ha ha ha!!! I was most impressed with that interview - I went on to check out some of Paul Dolan's online stuff - a podcast and a talk - very interesting guy - and great glasses! xxx
Easier way to peel squash )))... slice it into rings or parts of rings, lay them flat, go around the edge cutting straight down. There's more little pieces of rind that way, but much easier than trying to peel it like an apple.
@@jonap5740 Great tip! The rind is so hard raw I hadn't thought of the transition. Of course it is soft when baked... DUH. )))))... so of course it will be soft when boiled in the soup. Potato skins are great in soup, so why not the squash rind! THANKS ))
You’re absolutely right about cilantro-it’s love or hate-like the smell of marigolds. I adore both. But I cannot stand tuberose! Yuk!😂 We are all of us so unique but in some ways so united. Especially in our likes and dislikes. Loving this soup recipe. 💕Cathy in Montana
That looks really yummy Kate, we call those butternut pumpkins here in Aus and often use them to make pumpkin soup, I often cut them into pieces, coat in oil and herbs/spices of choice and roast in the oven along with some capsicum and then sweat off some onion or leeks with garlic, then pop it all in with some chicken stock ( or veggie) and simmer for a little while then blend and add some cream ( or coconut cream) very nice with some crusty bread :D
The Covent Garden soup cookbook has a recipe for roasted butternut squash soup.it is delicious but the fact that you roast the squash makes it so much easier as you don’t have to peel it just cut it in quarters and once roasted topped with butter you scrape out the cooked flesh and add it to the rest of the soup. I’m going to try your version next time. Thank you. XAngela
Thanks Kate. We love this soup & have been making it (without the pumpkin) for years. I just called it sweet potato & lentil soup. We had no idea that it was an anti-inflammatory 👍 All the more reason to make it again this week (with pumpkin this time!). Oh, & I have the 'like gene' LOL 🤣😂😂🤣😅
If you use a spoon to peel your ginger and turmeric you won't waste any and its super easy. I do not peel mine and neither do people in India. Just wash it and use it. The young ginger has a super thin peel and old ginger has thick tough peel that's worth removing with the bowl if the spoon. Just FYI🤗 put your butternut squash in a hot oven for 10 minutes and the peel comes right off.
I KNEW I loved you! I've got the not-like coriander gene, as well...it tastes like a mouthful of liquid soap! Loving this soup and am going in search of the author. Lovely video as I binge watch back through the years.
You are my inspiration! I cannot wait to age gracefully and continue with my passions of gardening, cooking, quilting, crafts, art and more throughout the years. I love your passion for life.
Just pre-ordered Happy Ever After: Escaping The Myth of The Perfect Life by Paul Dolan. I love recommendations for new books as I am a rabid bibliophile or non-fiction. You so inspire me and others and when I get a notification that you have a new video I tell anyone near me that 'I will be right back' and then watch your new video! Which I then share on Facebook!
That's just brilliant Beth! first - I'm glad the link worked - and second - I'm really pleased you went on to pre-order the book - I'm sure you won't be disappointed xxxxxx and thank you for your enthusiastic support! it means so much! xxxxxxx
The Last Homely House I’ve just found your recommendation and ordered a copy too! It’s intended for my dear friend and neighbour, but I’m hoping that I might borrow it when she’s read it. Thank you too for suggesting ‘A New Earth’ - what a wonderful discovery. Serendipity working overtime as I’m ready and open to Eckhart Tolle’s thoughts!
oh yummy! my stomach growls for this soup. I have had both knees replaced due to osteoarthritis and now my wrists and back are achy. Thank you for sharing the recipe and you great personality!
That looks delicious. I'm making lentil soup tonight. The weather has been raining, windy and just miserable. We haven't had any winter weather yet this year either. Hoping for it to snow to get rid of all the germs around.
There is an interesting video on coconut fat. The woman scientist who researched the middle-chain fat said that people who wanted to market coconut misused her research, and that this fat is worse for you than beef lard. Would be easy enough to make the soup with any animal milk, or to keep it vegan, any plant-based milk. Or even to leave it out and if further richness was needed (or thickening) add a potato. Also, carrots, sweet potato, tumeric, ginger and butternut squash---none of them have to be peeled, you can eat the skin of all of them. And since it's going into the blender, only thing you really have to chop a bit is the squash and red onion, and even those can be relatively big chunks. (Just trying to save you a bit of time!) This isn't the doctor I referred to above, but it is also an interesting article on coconut fat, and says to use it sparingly. www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/coconut-oil But above all, it looked delicious and has such a lovely colour!
Oh wonderful! I was ready for another dose of LHHE of the SEA! I don't seem to be able to post a comment on your latest Patreon blog, so thanks for the link to BBC 4 radio. It's an interesting segment for sure. Two of my friends are involved with Avatar and that seems to be very similar to what Paul Dolan is saying. And it makes sense: Change your perception of a thing, or situation and you change the experience. Still, it doesn't change being stuck in traffic into a lot of fun. Just a bit more acceptable.... I bet that soup did make the kitchen smell wonderful!
I;m so glad the link worked - I don't know why the comments won't work for you? There are so many wise people telling us such interesting things - that was quite amazing while I was driving along that morning. Its not rocket science, but I seem to need to hear it again and again! xxxxxxxx and yes, the kitchen smelled great - especially those nutty toppings - wow! xxx
Ok. Another note...now I want to make that soup. Instead I have just ordered your little books for myself for Christmas 2020. Maybe that will blunt this horrid year.
I'm having to do a diet change myself. Being diagnosed with prediabetes and chronic pancreatic issues does that. I'll be looking forward to see if you have any recipes I can use. I've come to love seeing your videos. ❤️ Happy New Year can't wait to see what you create. Cheers from Colorado USA.
Well, Dizzy, I can't endorse Ross Bridgeford too highly. You could check him out on Facebook if you use that - and the new book comes with all sorts of bonuses if you order before 12th January - I don't work for him or anything! I just really like his vast knowledge and simple approach. Give him a try! xxx good luck with your health - none of that sounds like fun!
Thats good ro know - so I haven't missed the boat for getting some garlic in - I don't know why - it just hasn't happened yet - so cold and gloomy! xxxx Thanks for that tip
Kate, have you shared your Master Tonic recipe? I’m also interested in the brand of vegetable granules, found them on Amazon. Making this tomorrow. Sounds like a nice warm drink.
Hubby and I are journeying ~hopefully to better health. I ordered this book based on this one recipe. My husband has cancer and I know without a doubt most of his (and mine) health issues are dietary. Thank you for being a breath of fresh air~thank for talking about this book. Thank you for lighting a beacon to help guide our journey. And thank you for allowing me to curl up quietly in a corner of your lovely lime green couch, sip tea and rest... ❤️ (The book is wonderful!)
That looked delicious. I’m the same myself when it comes to diets and love juicing. I’m about to start Rip Esselstyn’s Engine 2 diet. I did veganuary during March and April! Following the Happy Pear on UA-cam but I’ve now gone back to my usual diet so I need a reboot. I don’t think I’ll ever serve my homemade soup in a homemade bowl but who knows! Thanks for another great video.
Hi there i do love me a nice bowl of steaming soup and i love coriander here in Australia we call Butternut pumpkin and i will certainly be trying this one . I love listening to you its like talking to an old friend i answer your questions all the time do you hear me ha ha
Just discovered your channel and it's wonderful..soup and tea biscuits..two faves of mine! Have recently become plant based and thought u might enjoy a book that has helped me ..it's for over 50s so I qualify.. Never to Late to Go Vegan by Carol J. Adams et al... thank you for recipe..
Will give that a go might help with my arthritis,love watching you cook very restful.

I love that you use the word malarkey. It seems to be a word often used by our President-elect too. Very endearing, I think.
I love cilantro, I must have the gene for it. I am likely to have freeze in a couple days. I am into soup season.

Another tip for keeping the blade sharp is cutting the vegetables with the TIP of the knife on the board and using a rocking up and down motion.
YUM! The closing photo was beautiful, and confirmed my thought that The Last Homely House is truly 'a pot of gold'.

Thank you - I'm glad you know Northumberland - it is a beautiful forgotten corner of the UK isn't it? people on holiday pass by on their way to Scotland or the Lake district, and miss it entirely. That squash treatment sound amazing! one i must try if i am feeling brave enough!! Sometimes, I just make one lengthwise cut and then roast it on the oven - the flesh scoops out easily enough then - but I'd like to try your whacking idea! Take care and thank you for the lovely comments about my channel! xxx
I slice rings or half rings and then pare under the rind with a paring knife. The strip of rind that pares away is flat, going around the edge, and therefore fits the functionality of the hand/ knife. 😊
That looks absolutely delicious Kate! Enjoying your company as usual. Thank you. Xx
You are so very creative. That looks like such a lovely soup. I made some minestrone in my slow cooker today that has kale in it and was bitter. Eww. I added a bit of sugar, bullion (sp?) and a splash of red vinegar. I think I fixed it, but didn't eat it tonight. I love cilantro. 😋 i should follow an anti-inflammatory diet for my arthritic knees, but I so love pasta and bread and SUGAR, so it's not carbaholic friendly. I so enjoy your charming videos. Keep up the good work! XXOO from Florida.
Hello to you in Florida! its annoying when something turns out like that - in my experience - the more I try t fix it - the worse it gets! I hope you managed to salvage it! xxx look after your knees! xxx sugar will kill you
Love to spend time watching your videos. You are a calming, refreshing spirit and a very talented lady. Thanks for sharing your ideas and time. t
I've had years without garlic :( I use it medicinally so I order it dehydrated online when I don't have it. This year, however, I made a mistake of making a double order for planting. Three of my 7 raised beds are garlic. I gave the rest to son and daughter in law.
I usually have a plan for the garden by now but I don't. I'll have to double up in the beds, grow less of some things and try to extend the year longer with covers. I'll save most of the cool season veg for the autumn / winter garden. We've had very short springs the last few years anyway.
The soup sounds delicious. I like all the ingredients.
That's a lot of garlic - it will store in a cool place - and you could make garlic broth to keep colds at bay! xxx
@@thelasthomelyhouse Great idea! Thank you :)
It's June 2020 and this is our meal this evening. The smell is divine and we are looking forward to it. Thanks Kate for coming on over to my place and hanging out with me in the kitchen🌻
That soup looks delicious! Thank you for sharing with us all! Till next time be safe, take care.
I will - you too xxx
I loved the Patreon suggested interview you posted Kate! Rethinking how we think about something is always fascinating to me. I enjoyed watching you cook too. I was doing exercises at the same time and it kept me from sitting in front of the screen eating. LOL!
Ha ha ha!!! I was most impressed with that interview - I went on to check out some of Paul Dolan's online stuff - a podcast and a talk - very interesting guy - and great glasses! xxx
Such a Homey House I will make this and think of you Kate Thanks 💕😊
That looks delicious, I ordered the book😉
Easier way to peel squash )))... slice it into rings or parts of rings, lay them flat, go around the edge cutting straight down. There's more little pieces of rind that way, but much easier than trying to peel it like an apple.
You can eat the skin of a butternut squash. Since it is a blended soup, I think I wouldn't be bothered with the peeling of the veg!
@@jonap5740 Great tip! The rind is so hard raw I hadn't thought of the transition. Of course it is soft when baked... DUH. )))))... so of course it will be soft when boiled in the soup. Potato skins are great in soup, so why not the squash rind! THANKS ))
THE SOUP LLOKS AMAZING…. THANK YOU 🙏 ❤ I WILL BE MAKING THIS 😘
You’re absolutely right about cilantro-it’s love or hate-like the smell of marigolds. I adore both. But I cannot stand tuberose! Yuk!😂 We are all of us so unique but in some ways so united. Especially in our likes and dislikes. Loving this soup recipe. 💕Cathy in Montana
Wow... never heard that about cilantro! Quite interesting! Great video!
Ina Garten (The Barefoot Contessa) hates it, too.
That looks really yummy Kate, we call those butternut pumpkins here in Aus and often use them to make pumpkin soup, I often cut them into pieces, coat in oil and herbs/spices of choice and roast in the oven along with some capsicum and then sweat off some onion or leeks with garlic, then pop it all in with some chicken stock ( or veggie) and simmer for a little while then blend and add some cream ( or coconut cream) very nice with some crusty bread :D
We enjoyed this soup again today = even my husband loves it! Thank you!
I loved this. Especially the cook&chat part. It was like being there. The soup looked good too!❤
Thank you Linda! its been a busy few days - it was nice to get back to something normal! xxx
The Covent Garden soup cookbook has a recipe for roasted butternut squash soup.it is delicious but the fact that you roast the squash makes it so much easier as you don’t have to peel it just cut it in quarters and once roasted topped with butter you scrape out the cooked flesh and add it to the rest of the soup. I’m going to try your version next time. Thank you. XAngela
That soup. Looks fantastic. Enjoy
Thanks Kate. We love this soup & have been making it (without the pumpkin) for years. I just called it sweet potato & lentil soup. We had no idea that it was an anti-inflammatory 👍
All the more reason to make it again this week (with pumpkin this time!). Oh, & I have the 'like gene' LOL 🤣😂😂🤣😅
If you use a spoon to peel your ginger and turmeric you won't waste any and its super easy. I do not peel mine and neither do people in India. Just wash it and use it. The young ginger has a super thin peel and old ginger has thick tough peel that's worth removing with the bowl if the spoon. Just FYI🤗 put your butternut squash in a hot oven for 10 minutes and the peel comes right off.
you are so wonderful to watch - very glad i came across your channel xx
I made this soup yesterday and it was delicious!
I KNEW I loved you! I've got the not-like coriander gene, as well...it tastes like a mouthful of liquid soap! Loving this soup and am going in search of the author. Lovely video as I binge watch back through the years.
You are my inspiration! I cannot wait to age gracefully and continue with my passions of gardening, cooking, quilting, crafts, art and more throughout the years. I love your passion for life.
That is the sweetest thing to say. Don’t be in too much of a hurry though! ❤️
@@thelasthomelyhouse Sending you well wishes from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
The soup looks delicious 😋
I don’t like cilantro either, I always substitute parsley.
Just pre-ordered Happy Ever After: Escaping The Myth of The Perfect Life by Paul Dolan. I love recommendations for new books as I am a rabid bibliophile or non-fiction. You so inspire me and others and when I get a notification that you have a new video I tell anyone near me that 'I will be right back' and then watch your new video! Which I then share on Facebook!
That's just brilliant Beth! first - I'm glad the link worked - and second - I'm really pleased you went on to pre-order the book - I'm sure you won't be disappointed xxxxxx and thank you for your enthusiastic support! it means so much! xxxxxxx
The Last Homely House I’ve just found your recommendation and ordered a copy too! It’s intended for my dear friend and neighbour, but I’m hoping that I might borrow it when she’s read it. Thank you too for suggesting ‘A New Earth’ - what a wonderful discovery. Serendipity working overtime as I’m ready and open to Eckhart Tolle’s thoughts!
I love your new intro/outro! 😁 The soup looks amazing! Thanks for sharing! Love your channel!
Thank you Ginger! you're very welcome! xxx
Your soup looked yummy! And the presentation in the bowl you made on the little piece of wood made it "feel" so rustic! Lovely!
My son made me a couple of boards for christmas - he is very talented! xxx Thank you
Hello Kate, soup looks amazing! Thanks for another lovely visit. 🙂
YUM! That soup looked absolutely delicious.💕
YUM!
oh yummy! my stomach growls for this soup. I have had both knees replaced due to osteoarthritis and now my wrists and back are achy. Thank you for sharing the recipe and you great personality!
That looks delicious. I'm making lentil soup tonight. The weather has been raining, windy and just miserable. We haven't had any winter weather yet this year either. Hoping for it to snow to get rid of all the germs around.
it's like April our there - I'm bracing myself for SNOW!!! xxx
This soup looks amazing! I’m making it tonight! Thank you! ❤️
Cilantro tastes like soap. Oh, and I really like your new titles, looks great and fits your channel nicely.
Thanks Traci - we should form a club for the people with the 'hating cilantro' gene! there are lots of us! xxxx
@@thelasthomelyhouse I'm one of em. My neighbor planted it in their garden!! Not a nice neighborly thing to do.
I too dislike cilantro. My daughter in law is Fijian and puts it into everything! Bless her! I eat it only because☺️
That looks glorious :) I do like your intro/outro too! See ya soon!
I'm loving your channel! Your pottery is absolutely wonderful--what talent! The soup looks delicious!
Looks yummy. I love pureed soup.
The soup sounds delicious Kate, lots of favorite ingredients! I love to cook and soup is always a choice year round!
Yet again another yummmmm. Happy day.
Just found your channel. I love the sewing and this cooking was very enjoyable! Felt like I was right there with you ❤️
There is an interesting video on coconut fat. The woman scientist who researched the middle-chain fat said that people who wanted to market coconut misused her research, and that this fat is worse for you than beef lard. Would be easy enough to make the soup with any animal milk, or to keep it vegan, any plant-based milk. Or even to leave it out and if further richness was needed (or thickening) add a potato. Also, carrots, sweet potato, tumeric, ginger and butternut squash---none of them have to be peeled, you can eat the skin of all of them. And since it's going into the blender, only thing you really have to chop a bit is the squash and red onion, and even those can be relatively big chunks. (Just trying to save you a bit of time!) This isn't the doctor I referred to above, but it is also an interesting article on coconut fat, and says to use it sparingly. www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/coconut-oil But above all, it looked delicious and has such a lovely colour!
That looks absolutely delicious!!!!!
Now I’m a Patreon! Love your channel. It’s been my zen.
Oh wonderful! I was ready for another dose of LHHE of the SEA! I don't seem to be able to post a comment on your latest Patreon blog, so thanks for the link to BBC 4 radio. It's an interesting segment for sure. Two of my friends are involved with Avatar and that seems to be very similar to what Paul Dolan is saying. And it makes sense: Change your perception of a thing, or situation and you change the experience. Still, it doesn't change being stuck in traffic into a lot of fun. Just a bit more acceptable.... I bet that soup did make the kitchen smell wonderful!
I;m so glad the link worked - I don't know why the comments won't work for you? There are so many wise people telling us such interesting things - that was quite amazing while I was driving along that morning. Its not rocket science, but I seem to need to hear it again and again! xxxxxxxx and yes, the kitchen smelled great - especially those nutty toppings - wow! xxx
Haha!! I think cilantro tastes soapy as well😁
Ok. Another note...now I want to make that soup. Instead I have just ordered your little books for myself for Christmas 2020. Maybe that will blunt this horrid year.
Looks yummy
I'm having to do a diet change myself. Being diagnosed with prediabetes and chronic pancreatic issues does that. I'll be looking forward to see if you have any recipes I can use. I've come to love seeing your videos. ❤️ Happy New Year can't wait to see what you create. Cheers from Colorado USA.
Well, Dizzy, I can't endorse Ross Bridgeford too highly. You could check him out on Facebook if you use that - and the new book comes with all sorts of bonuses if you order before 12th January - I don't work for him or anything! I just really like his vast knowledge and simple approach. Give him a try! xxx good luck with your health - none of that sounds like fun!
I enjoyed your video and I may even try this soup, maybe. You did make it look good, I could always swap out a few ingredients.
Thats why I like these recipes - you can tweak them to make your own version! xxx
This looks delicious.
Looks so delicious! I will make it when the summer over.
That looks beautiful! Love your pretty kitchen too.
You can plant your garlic in early spring and it will work too , don't get quite as big but they're still totally delicious
Thats good ro know - so I haven't missed the boat for getting some garlic in - I don't know why - it just hasn't happened yet - so cold and gloomy! xxxx Thanks for that tip
Yes we are spoiled. Please don’t stop. I don’t normally like soup, but I bet I would just love that soup. Thank you.
Kate, have you shared your Master Tonic recipe? I’m also interested in the brand of vegetable granules, found them on Amazon. Making this tomorrow.
Sounds like a nice warm drink.
Looks wonderful!! I have the I can't stand cilantro gene!
Hubby and I are journeying ~hopefully to better health. I ordered this book based on this one recipe. My husband has cancer and I know without a doubt most of his (and mine) health issues are dietary. Thank you for being a breath of fresh air~thank for talking about this book. Thank you for lighting a beacon to help guide our journey. And thank you for allowing me to curl up quietly in a corner of your lovely lime green couch, sip tea and rest... ❤️ (The book is wonderful!)
What's on the back wall looks like fun
I am so nosey snoopy lol.
there is so much sparkly clutter in my house - but do you mean the all hanging with mince sections? if so - there are videos planned about them! xx
I love your kitchen its looks so homley :) x
That looked delicious. I’m the same myself when it comes to diets and love juicing. I’m about to start Rip Esselstyn’s Engine 2 diet. I did veganuary during March and April! Following the Happy Pear on UA-cam but I’ve now gone back to my usual diet so I need a reboot. I don’t think I’ll ever serve my homemade soup in a homemade bowl but who knows! Thanks for another great video.
Looks delicious
Hi there i do love me a nice bowl of steaming soup and i love coriander here in Australia we call Butternut pumpkin and i will certainly be trying this one . I love listening to you its like talking to an old friend i answer your questions all the time do you hear me ha ha

That looks delicious!!

Excellent video! Thank you so much for this recipe. What brand or make is your blender? Love your little corner of the world.
