These recipes always take me back to my childhood. I often cook food like this when I am missing my parents, or just being beaten up by life. I am so glad your channel exists. Thanks, Anna.
Seriously? People moan about things like cream of whatever soup? Anna, you and your cooking are just lovely. Please don't be discouraged by a minority of people that have no manners and no taste! 😊
@@cooking_the_booksI have used cream of whatever many times fixing food for my boys and their friends to stretch the food . Nothing wrong with using it IMO. I know I never got any complaints and not a child left my home hungry that was the main thing. I knew they were some that ate with us that was their food for the day . Great video Great job like always. 😊
For those of you who get cranky, aside from being rude, this is a show of vintage recipes and cream of chicken and cream of mushroom were king in the 70s and 80s. Get a grip and enjoy the show. I love these 70s and 80s videos they bring back memories. I thank you. 🙂
Oh my yes. I grew up in the 70s and if they would have had the flavors we have today meals would have been so different. Those bake in a bag things were very popular in the late 70s and 80s. That drives folks nuts too I have noticed. Different times different ideas about nutrition. In 20 years folk are going to be calling food now gross.
@@emily--m I know. Why is actually tasting the food such a bad thing. I use spice very sparingly. I want to taste the veggies and meat. I don't want a mouthful of paprika and garlic powder. There is a time and place for spices but for the most part let the natural flavors sing.
I was a newlywed in the ‘70s. It was a terribly difficult time economically: interest rates were sky high, heating oil was expensive, oil became embargoed by OPEC causing gas rationing, the Watergate instability was going on, and most women didn’t yet work outside the home, etc. After rent and basic bills, out of a $269 paycheck we had exactly $70 (1972 dollars) left for groceries and gas for two weeks: but I remember ground meat was $0.79/pound the day I got married, and there were no fat content percentages listed on the packages. CAMPBELL’s soups were about $0.18/can, the ones I used. There was no internet to use to collect recipes, just collecting from relatives and friends, newspapers and magazines, and the labels and boxes of products. Good cookbooks were expensive. The little recipe books available at the cash register lanes at checkouts in grocery stores were cheap and chock-full of ideas to save money. As a newlywed who had never cooked a thing in my life, Betty Crocker and Bisquick were my pantry lifesavers . . . then came Ragu and Italian food adventures! Crazy days back then, but fondly evoked by your channel. Thank you.
My mom was gone from 6 in the morning until 6 at night. She was raising 3 kids on her own. She was tired, when I was around 15 I started cooking dinner for the family. For those of us without a lot of experience and for those who were exhausted those cream soups were a lifesaver. It meant you could make something creamy without having to make a from scratch cream sauce. And I like the casseroles we made; I still make them. Don't understand why anyone would complain, if you want complicated, go watch the food network.
There is an entire generation who missed out on home economics classes and are now attempting to live (and eat) on a budget, with zero clue how (NOT THEIR FAULT!!), and this channel could be an absolute blessing to them! Informative, creative, funny, calming…it’s the education that is necessary, yet completely absent from school curriculum. I hope this channel grows and grows!!
I grew in the 60s and 70s and my mom was a great cook. She made almost everything from scratch, but when she discovered the joys of Cream of Mushroom soup she made a stroganoff to die for! I have my grandmother's homemade cookbook that has recipes clipped from newspapers in the 40s and 50s. Some recipes with ingredients you can't find anymore. I love to read her book just for the memories. I've been in a "love vintage everything mood" for the last few months, so I really enjoy your channel. Keep the recipes coming, because you are much loved by this community!💖
@gopugmama4408 I hope you will leave that book to someone in your family who will appreciate it. And if you don't have anyone who will appreciate it, perhaps have it mailed to Anna!
When I subscribed to your channel, I knew what I was getting into. Having been born in 1969, raised by a mother bornin 1932, and having received a Campbell's cookbook at my bridal shower, I know and am perfectly okay with cream soup being used, as well as plain old-fashioned cooking. What is wrong with these people...I am thrilled that younger people like you are reviving my childhood with these dishes!
Random thought. I have crohns disease and have been admitted to the hospital WAY too many times. Usually on a full liquid diet. Hence a large amount of cream of whatever soup. Its now known as cream of crap affectionately in my house. But i do still love it.
I feel like hamburger + cream of mushroom soup was the basis of 30% of the meals my mom cooked in the 70s. 😂 Both are still helpful for families on a budget!
I grew up in the ‘70’s and remember my mom giving us Chunky Beef Soup over rice, franks and beans, and tuna macaroni salad. My kids would kill me lol .
@@ManyaP64 Yes, I love it, its so versatile. When she told me that it was like a new world opened up. But it is a skill that takes time and sometimes an extra dish to clean. So I can see why people would want to use a canned soup. Now, depending on the dish, I'll use a canned soup.
The burger recipe reminds me of hamburger stroganoff without the sour cream. Stroganoff has hamburger, onion, canned mushrooms, mushroom soup, and sour cream served over egg noodles.
The fact that you had to put the disclaimer in at the beginning because of trolls in the comments is so sad. Those people are pathetic and need to shut up and click elsewhere. Now, here sit the rest of us enjoying your channel and being happy to see a new video has posted! :)
I will never understand people posting negative/hateful comments when all they have to do is not watch. They need to move on. Me and hubby love you and your videos. ❤️🥰❤️
Interesting recipes. I was in 4-H, too. I'm sorry people can't just enjoy your videos without commenting on ingredients. I have several food allergies, but I just enjoy your presentations and the nostalgia. When you make these dishes, I can remember my mom or grandmothers teaching me how to cook 😊
What's interesting to me about the "souperburger" recipe is that it's essentially just creamed chipped beef on toast, which is a recipe that outdates it by at least 30yrs.
I think it is the sodium content for those that have to restrict the salt intake, but these recipes don't have additional salt anyway. I still use cream of whatever kind soups and I'm 85 so it hasn't killed me yet. I love her vintage recipes.
I’m supposed to be on a high sodium diet (POTS), is cream of mushroom soup really that high in sodium?! I’m over here eating half a jar of olives, drinking pickle juice, etc, with doctors STILL complaining my sodium is too low!! 😣 idk what they want from me at this point, I can’t even taste things anymore, it’s all salt. lol
When I was a kid, my Mom always made sloppy Joes with Campbell's chicken gumbo soup and mustard. Sounds disgusting but it was really good. Even my little friends loved them. I just never told them how it was made. Lol
I won't lie, I love learning new "cream of whatever" soup recipes. When I have time, I'll make them with a homemade white sauce, and when I need a fast meal, I'll make the cream soup version. We call it the "soccer mom" version in my house. True win!
Oh my gosh!! Those 'souper burgers' are what we called 'sloppy joes' growing up!! I didn't have the red sauce sloppy joes until I was well into high school. I always thought my grandma invented it because she hates tomatoes, it's so cool to see it was an actual thing.
I inherited a cook book from my grandmother who has since passed away, Woman’s Home Companion Cook book copyright 1942. Have you ever come across this in your travels? Of course it’s from the 2nd world war so there are a lot of substitutions due to rations. It’s my plan to delve into this book eventually.. maybe when I retire? lol. It’s so fascinating! There are instructions on how to set a table, how to carve meat, formal teas etc! I am so happy that I have a piece of my grandma with me❤️
Hmmm ... the first one made me think of hamburger stroganoff on a bun! 😊 The second one looked really good! Hey, your imperfections make you who you are! Pity some folks feel the need to be petty. Glad you call that out! And the third one also looks really good! THANK YOU for another great video!!!
I can’t find oyster stew anymore. My granny made meatballs over canned spaghetti! She made it when we were going there on Friday night in the winter. They lived on a farm three hours away.
We all like what we like. If someone doesnt like cream soups, they dont have to indulge. They are restricting their perspectives about your message tho--and I hope they can learn to appreciate the sense of history you are sharing with your beloved collection. Since these people assume you are insisting they stop whatever they are doing and make what you have filmed, then please let me be the first to direct them to the tuna ring video.😅
I share your love of vintage/retro cookbooks and these videos are fantastic!! I love your reviews and the cookbook tours that follow. I’m new to your channel and so glad I found it!
I love all your videos and your infectious, happy attitude Anna. It is hard to believe that people would actually give you negative feedback over cream soups. Sheesh, I think they need to lighten up. If you don't like cream soups....don't make the darn recipe or make it using something you do like. The end.
Exactly!!! And I really enjoy the videos too🥰 I think Anna is very informative and explains things very well. She does have a very warm, down to earth personality.
I know that Campbells and Franco American were the same company because my friend's father worked for Campbell Soup company. They had a full pantry of spaghetto's, canned spaghetti, along with cans of soup. they also had so much promotional stuff for campbells and franco american (plate and silverware sets, aprons, potholders, mugs, etc). When she went to college out of state, her father would send her cases of soup. Personally, I love canned soup....and haters need to find another channel.
My mom was a cashier at Kroger for 39 years. She remembers the frozen soup. She said she didn’t get that product or why they made it. I asked if she remembered when they stopped selling it but she doesn’t. She said once you thawed it, you had to use it right away. No storing in the fridge
To the Trolls, Complainers and Crabby Patties, you need to get a grip ! Seriously, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all ! Thank you, Anna. I love all your enthusiasm and your love of vintage cookbooks and recipes. I’m envious of your vintage dishes, reminds me of my childhood. Sending ❤ from Indiana
I ‘m enjoying what are for me flashbacks to cooking in another era. I use the various cream of _____ soups in my slow cooker recipes on a regular basis. Use it, don’t use, do whatever is your thing.
The soupburger recipe reminded me of bit of Swedish Meatbals just deconstructed and without the rice. I bet it would be really good served over rice and would bulk out the servings without having to serve any extra sides.
my friend discovered the ground beef/mushroom soup dish back in the 70s when we were all newly married and poor. she served it over mashed potatoes. it quickly became a regular on all our meal plans and even made it to a few pot lucks. thanks for the memory.
This was great! 😃 My mother, contrary to tradition, made souperburger / sloppy joes with campbells chicken gumbo - total salt bomb, seems like the weirdest choice, but it was what I grew up with, always on white bread, no bun. It’s pretty decent if you can handle the salt. Anyone else have chicken gumbo maidrites? I can attest to hotdogs eaten with pistachio / Waldorf salad and 7 year-old me declared it delicious. Salty and sweet, it works. 😋 This video was so fun! Love the cookbook sharing with pictures and page-thru! So great! 😃
You can also make a roux with flour and oil, add cream, milk or broth spices and/or seasonings and make your own sauces to use in place of canned soups. That way you can control the salt content.
I'd be willing to bet that the Souper Burger recipe you remember also included some dried onion soup as well. That would pretty much address everything you found lacking in the recipe as is.
❤😊I like these recipes. Thanks for the history! Plus, you can totally tweak the recipes to make how you want..I like these recipes for freezing weather.🥶👍🥘🥰
Campbell's now has no salt added cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups, for anyone who may need to restrict their sodium intake. It might make these recipes a little more expensive, though
In my experience trolls are everywhere on social media and miserable complaining people with opinions are EVERYWHERE!! Ignore them those of us who love you are here for your imperfect lovely videos. You are the relaxed real wind down moment in my very busy day. I get a ton of inspiration from your vintage recipes. Do you lady we are here for it. ❤
For the croquettes if you don’t want to use the soup, you could do an egg with some bouillon - I’d stir some powdered bouillon into the scrambled egg to not miss out on the flavor!!
You seem like you’re being harassed, Take heart I was just commend you on your wonderful channel and you’re cooking right in the 70s where I was. Thank you so much.
For the burgers, a dash of Worcestershire sauce will take it a long way, as well as thinning the sauce with a little milk. And for the croquettes, classic croquettes are based on a thick bechamel, or what my mom and my home ec teacher called white sauce. I learned the cornstarch variant, which is milk, cornstarch, butter, salt and pepper. In my teens I worked at a cafe whose big secret was a drop of Tabasco in their white gravy, literally not enough to really discern the heat, which brightened the flavor.
It was quite funny to hear you mention getting hold of this cookbook during your late adolescence/early teens: I first started to cook "unprompted" (e.g. not as part of school lessons, and not merely as helper to my mother) around the same age, and I have a strong memory of cooking a recipe using Campbells cream of chicken soup - I think it was a ham and leek pasta bake, and possibly from a promotional recipe booklet my mum had picked up somewhere. So it's charming to think at approximately the same time (as I think I'm only a few years older than you) two people, separated by the Atlantic ocean, were taking steps into cooking for themselves and following recipes incorporating Campbells soups. 😊 It might be down to the specific videos I've watched so far, but there are a lot of vintage recipes using frankfurter/hotdog style sausages - I think that must be something that separates the USA and the UK, because frankfurters still seemed like an exotic unusual food when I was a kid in the late 80s and early 90s 😁
All of the recipes looked delicious! I also wanted you to know I found a 1950 Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook on Amazon. At a really good price! $15 . It came today. It was somebody’s mom’s or grandma’s. It had a Hellman’s mayo recipe flyer and a small paper cookbook from Reynolds Wrap. It ha d a couple of recipes and a note from the person she got them from and a chunk of recipes removed from a magazine. It was cookbook bingo and I feel like I won!!!! The Hellmans book has a lot of savory “ring” recipes. Lol your favorite.
I grew up in the 1960’s and remember something similar to the Souperburgers. I think I would add some Worcestershire sauce, mushrooms and garlic powder to the skillet with the canned soup to give it more flavor. And I would add more liquid, maybe beef broth, and simmer it a while longer. It would be good over rice. Thanks for all the info you give on the cookbooks. ❤
I just came across your channel; btought back forgotten memories of myself as a brand new homemaker in the 70's. I married in 1974, as most newlyweds then, we had a tight budget that first year. I remember having Campbells soup cookbooks, used them often. Such a fun video of years gone by. Thanks for the memories!
That skillet Roma would be great recipe for summer, when friends and neighbors are showering you with free garden stuff, lol. I’m not a gardener either, so I appreciate those who do!
I just looked up frozen soups because I have never seen or heard of Campbells doing that and guess what they do still sell it. Mainly to restaurants and hotels and it is expensive too. WOW I was amazed. I have had a version of the chicken patties before and my personal tastes go else where. But I do like what you are doing and appreciate it as well. Have a great day
My WWII Navy veteran dad would have called the first dish "shit on a shingle." (He was a sailor, after all!) Basically ground beef made with its own gravy from the juices and served on white bread. We had this many times as a kid.
Haters gonna hate, Anna. Let the negative comments blow away if you can, as these trolls don’t obviously have a clue that your channel is about cooking with vintage cookbooks. If you grew up in the 60’s and 70’s as I did, these recipes are a comforting reminder of simpler, better days. Just last night I made a tuna casserole using cream of mushroom soup. It was a recipe my late Grandmother used to make for me and I ate it and remembered her love for me. Keep up the good work!
People can be lame.. I love that you said.. just don’t make these recipes.. lol I mean, people.. really? 😂 These all looked so good! And wow! That frozen soup! I want those to come back!
I won’t complain about you using cream of soups. Cream of mushroom soup or broccoli etc. poured over top of cooked rice has been my major meal many times in the past when I had barely any money or barely any food. And even today I still love having cream of mushroom soup over top of cooked rice with maybe some cooked spinach added in. Healthy and nutritious and filling.
I love your videos, it’s like memory lane. My mom used to add cream of mushroom soup to our macaroni and cheese. I personally don’t care for canned soup so I always find a replacement or make from scratch. Keep following those recipes and don’t apologize. Campbells was king in the 60’s and 70’s.
I use cream of mushroom soup about once a week. 😂 I make Asparagus Chicken, Hamburger Gravy, Mushroom Chicken and Broccoli Cheese Chicken with cream soups all the time. Also lots of other things as well. I'm on disability so I need to make my money stretch and store brand cream soups are cheap and make great sauces and gravys. I even made a tgrow together version of turkey tetrazinni using cream soup.
I never frown upon using a cream soup in a recipe, I've made some great meals with them. People will complain just about anything these days... I loved this video Anna, thanks for sharing. The Chicken Croquettes looked tasty!
There’s a recipe in an earlier Campbells book called “Skillet Franks and Noodles” that I loved as a kid and still do to this day. My children renamed it Weinies Alfredo😂
@@cooking_the_books it’s in the red 1974 edition “Cooking with Soup” on page 11. My mother first found the recipe in a magazine many years before that, though.
Everybody and her dog are experts regarding diets these days, right? I have no problem using a can of cream of chicken or mushroom to throw together a casserole once in awhile that I know I'll eat. I'm 70, in good health and the doc is very happy with my labs, lol. Anyway, I own a 1982 revised edition of Campbell's Cooking with Soup book (and it says mine is a 15th printing). My book now has plenty of grease stains and is falling apart. I was 29 back then and probably picked it up at a garage sale, knowing me. The souperburger recipe was one I evidently made a few times but had crossed through the ingredient of mustard, lol. Not only that, I'm very sure I made it up and served it on toast as a gravy rather than made a sandwich, and I'd do that again in a heartbeat and might use ground sausage the next time. I tend to be very frugal and only buy marked down or cheaper cuts of meat whenever I can. I prefer chicken thighs over breasts any day of the week. I know the grease stains and discolorations came from my trying the paella recipe found on page 92 of my book. I've modified it by using cubed chicken bouillon instead of the condensed chicken broth, and a can of stewed tomatoes instead of regular canned tomatoes. This isn't the traditional Spanish paella with the added sausage or fish; you just use chicken parts and fry them well on both sides, lol. Talk about having a good flavor, it's great because it's a complete meal, and the rice tastes great fixed this way. You fry the chicken well, remove the excess oil, stir minced clove garlic and your chicken bouillon together, cover and simmer the meat for 15-20 minutes, then you add in raw rice and tomatoes, cover again and cook on low till the rice is done. The flavor is absolutely delicious.
Your first recipe we made all the time. But instead of serving on a bun, we'd serve over rice and also add worstershire (sp?). I still make it to this day. My mom called it stroganoff. Lol.
The rumor is true, the Detroit Lions are one win away from playing in the Superbowl....Maybe next year Browns!!! Love ya Anna and your content! Tina from Michigan
I have been watching your videos for a while, I just want to say that you have brought me back to my childhood. My mother has a lot of the same cookbooks you have and Watching you cook, and then the commentary on the books at the end is just so delightful. Thank you for bringing a little bit of joy to our lives! ❤
My Mom made "Souper Rice" when i was growing up for a fast comfort dish. Campbell's cream of chicken or mushroom, a soup can of milk and a soup can of rice. Simmer until tender. Tasty, cheap and easy.
Greeting Anna from frozen Oklahoma. I recently found your channel and have so enjoyed all the video's I have watched so far. I will go online to hit the "Thumbs Up." Many memories, especially the Christmas cookies video. My granny and mom are both deceased and they were who we called when trying to recreate a dish from childhood. Oh how I miss them. Anyway, I am seeing foods they cooked and noting the recipe and the "Missing secret item" which was either a simple spice or ingredient. I love cookbooks and really enjoy the review of all the cookbooks. I volunteer at a local church clothes closet and get many of my old cookbooks there. Such a joy to read and cook from. Thank you and I look forward to watching all the video in your library. I went through my cookbooks and found a Betty Crocker's Dinner Parties from 1974 with the binding you like in mint condition. If this is a cookbook you need to add to your collection, let me know and I will mail it to you. It belongs with its friends. I could kick myself because I know I have left so many of these cookbooks are the shelf at the Clothes Closet. My eagle eyes will be on the lookout going forward.
I just want you to know that we love what you are doing, so please keep doing what you love with making these videos. I enjoy watching everything you make in here, even the cookbook flip throughs. There will always be haters and negative Nancy's, but just ignore those comments; it's just noise. We are cheering for you and love you ❤️
Thank you. ❤ I started getting more views on my channel around 6 months ago. I'm SO happy and grateful for my wonderful viewers, but more eyes on my videos unfortunately can mean more haters. 😂
Love these recipes! Love Campbell's Soup recipes! I grew up in the 60's and 70's and these soup recipes are such comfort foods. Thank you, Anna. 😊 A "Souper" easy recipe good enough for company dinner made for us by friends way back in 1974 which I've made from her recipe for 50 years now is as follows: Prepare a pound of egg noodles (or fettuccine pasta) as directed on package then drain out water and place cooked pasta back in the pot. Add 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 2/3 cup sour cream, 2/3 cup milk, 2 Tbsp soy sauce and 1 Tbsp poppy seeds. Stir until combined then stir in 2 cups cubed cooked chicken of choice. Note: You can add sauteed mushrooms. 😁 This was first served at our friend's dinner with green peas, corn and salad with a delicious Jell-O based dessert. Delicious!!!
@@feliciagaffney1998 Hehe! She actually gave us the recipe and we've been making it for almost 50 years since. 😊 She called is 'Hungarian Noodles and Chicken". 😋 I can remember details of very memorable meals even from when I was growing up. I love good food! 😁🌟🌟🌟
I remember my mom made a potato, cream of celery, spam and onion casserole topped with a little cheese. Such a comfort food throwback. I still make a vegetarian version of it now and again -makes me feel like a kid again. Thanks for all you do!!
Sorry you are getting negative comments from people who don’t get the premise of your channel. I look forward to your videos! A shot of nostalgia and your happy attitude are a great combination.
Thank you. ❤ I think more of the people who stumble upon my videos are getting it now, but a few unpleasant comments still sneak their way in sometimes. 😂
Had to comment a second time. I'm not sure if alphabet soup is still made, but I remember in Home Economics class in 1969, we meal a souper burger mix using condensed alphabet soup instead of a cream soup. Cooking with canned soups really was a thing in the 60's and through the 80's. Flavorful and economical.
I have so few memories of my mom (I'm a younger-at-the-time stroke survivor, so I've forgotten a lot), BUT! The kielbasa and cabbage sparked a memory of my mother's cooking. Thank you.
These recipes always take me back to my childhood. I often cook food like this when I am missing my parents, or just being beaten up by life. I am so glad your channel exists. Thanks, Anna.
Seriously? People moan about things like cream of whatever soup? Anna, you and your cooking are just lovely. Please don't be discouraged by a minority of people that have no manners and no taste! 😊
Thank you. ❤ Hopefully I didn't come across as too cranky in the opening. The comments I receive are wonderful about 85% - 90% of the time!

Thank you so much for this story. I really love reading these little slices of life......
I was a bride in 1975 and my grocery budget was $19 a week.
Your story reminded my of my parents. They were raising four kids in the 70s and every penny counted.
I also love those little recipe books. When I moved from France, I brought mine with me!
My mom was gone from 6 in the morning until 6 at night. She was raising 3 kids on her own. She was tired, when I was around 15 I started cooking dinner for the family. For those of us without a lot of experience and for those who were exhausted those cream soups were a lifesaver.

If you had macaroni or rice and a can of:
Cream of Mushroom
Cream of Chicken
Cream of Celery
You had the start of a great meal
You’re underrated, Anna.
I have a feeling that’s about to change.
@alijane6675 I do, too! We can all say, sometime in the not-too-distant future, "We knew her when.." Ha!

Sounds tasty! 😋

I feel like hamburger + cream of mushroom soup was the basis of 30% of the meals my mom cooked in the 70s. 😂 Both are still helpful for families on a budget!
Chicken divan too lol
The 70s into the 80s was one long soup based casserole. (or hot dish)
Lot of flavor in cream of mushroom soup too, so easy for a quick cook.
My Mon didn't make rice. We had crackers to stretch chili cut the heat. I've found rice is so much cheaper. And can stretch almost any meal
I grew up in the ‘70’s and remember my mom giving us Chunky Beef Soup over rice, franks and beans, and tuna macaroni salad. My kids would kill me lol .
My mother told me that using cream soups became the norm because it was easier then making a bechamel sauce.
Its the same thing, just from scratch.
I rarely keep canned soups around so that’s what I do, bechamel first. So versatile.
@@ManyaP64 Yes, I love it, its so versatile. When she told me that it was like a new world opened up.
But it is a skill that takes time and sometimes an extra dish to clean. So I can see why people would want to use a canned soup. Now, depending on the dish, I'll use a canned soup.
The burger recipe reminds me of hamburger stroganoff without the sour cream. Stroganoff has hamburger, onion, canned mushrooms, mushroom soup, and sour cream served over egg noodles.
Egg noodles too
The fact that you had to put the disclaimer in at the beginning because of trolls in the comments is so sad. Those people are pathetic and need to shut up and click elsewhere.
Now, here sit the rest of us enjoying your channel and being happy to see a new video has posted! :)
I tend to get unnecessarily mean comments about a couple of ingredients - cream soup and processed cheese being the top two. 😂
I will never understand people posting negative/hateful comments when all they have to do is not watch. They need to move on. Me and hubby love you and your videos. ❤️🥰❤️
Interesting recipes. I was in 4-H, too. I'm sorry people can't just enjoy your videos without commenting on ingredients. I have several food allergies, but I just enjoy your presentations and the nostalgia. When you make these dishes, I can remember my mom or grandmothers teaching me how to cook 😊
I know, right? I have severe Crohn's disease and a very restrictive diet. I love this channel!
What's interesting to me about the "souperburger" recipe is that it's essentially just creamed chipped beef on toast, which is a recipe that outdates it by at least 30yrs.
We called that white or blonde sloppy Joe's.
@@luvzdogz Interesting!
My hubby happened to be watching with me and said that it was mushroom SOS , lol. You are on the money!
How about naming it a Creamy Souper Joe😁☺️
Chipper Joe
I didn’t know cream soup was so controversial.. I thought everyone used it lol 😂
Lol nope I don't. But I don't go around complaining to people who do. Lol.
I think it is the sodium content for those that have to restrict the salt intake, but these recipes don't have additional salt anyway. I still use cream of whatever kind soups and I'm 85 so it hasn't killed me yet. I love her vintage recipes.
Yes! Virtue signaling! Or... whoever eats the least amount of canned cream soup in their lifetime wins.
I’m supposed to be on a high sodium diet (POTS), is cream of mushroom soup really that high in sodium?! I’m over here eating half a jar of olives, drinking pickle juice, etc, with doctors STILL complaining my sodium is too low!! 😣 idk what they want from me at this point, I can’t even taste things anymore, it’s all salt. lol
@@Miss_CamelCanned soup is very high in sodium unless you get the lower sodium version.
WAIT A MINUTE!! WHERE is the meatball channel?? I need that in my life! 😅 😂
When I was a kid, my Mom always made sloppy Joes with Campbell's chicken gumbo soup and mustard. Sounds disgusting but it was really good. Even my little friends loved them. I just never told them how it was made. Lol
Many people have mentioned the chicken gumbo version in my comments. It seems to be a favorite and I think I need to try it! 😊
I won't lie, I love learning new "cream of whatever" soup recipes. When I have time, I'll make them with a homemade white sauce, and when I need a fast meal, I'll make the cream soup version. We call it the "soccer mom" version in my house. True win!
Oh my gosh!! Those 'souper burgers' are what we called 'sloppy joes' growing up!! I didn't have the red sauce sloppy joes until I was well into high school. I always thought my grandma invented it because she hates tomatoes, it's so cool to see it was an actual thing.
👍☺️
Sloppy Joes are still a staple in our family!
Same here
I'm living for the slightly spicy energy coming into '24. I love your authentic takes on the vintage recipies
😂 Thank you! I had a hunch I'd hear some negative comments about using cream soup and decided to nip it in the bud right away.
I inherited a cook book from my grandmother who has since passed away, Woman’s Home Companion Cook book copyright 1942. Have you ever come across this in your travels? Of course it’s from the 2nd world war so there are a lot of substitutions due to rations. It’s my plan to delve into this book eventually.. maybe when I retire? lol. It’s so fascinating! There are instructions on how to set a table, how to carve meat, formal teas etc! I am so happy that I have a piece of my grandma with me❤️
I believe I have a copy in my collection, but mine might be from a different year.
Hmmm ... the first one made me think of hamburger stroganoff on a bun! 😊 The second one looked really good! Hey, your imperfections make you who you are! Pity some folks feel the need to be petty. Glad you call that out! And the third one also looks really good! THANK YOU for another great video!!!
I can’t find oyster stew anymore. My granny made meatballs over canned spaghetti! She made it when we were going there on Friday night in the winter. They lived on a farm three hours away.
We all like what we like. If someone doesnt like cream soups, they dont have to indulge. They are restricting their perspectives about your message tho--and I hope they can learn to appreciate the sense of history you are sharing with your beloved collection. Since these people assume you are insisting they stop whatever they are doing and make what you have filmed, then please let me be the first to direct them to the tuna ring video.😅
Yes, I would LOVE to see someone drop everything and make a tuna gelatin ring! 😂
🤣🤣🤣👍👏👏👏👏Touché 😁
@@cooking_the_books
😂😂😂😊😁
I share your love of vintage/retro cookbooks and these videos are fantastic!! I love your reviews and the cookbook tours that follow. I’m new to your channel and so glad I found it!
I love all your videos and your infectious, happy attitude Anna. It is hard to believe that people would actually give you negative feedback over cream soups. Sheesh, I think they need to lighten up. If you don't like cream soups....don't make the darn recipe or make it using something you do like. The end.
Exactly!!! And I really enjoy the videos too🥰
I think Anna is very informative and explains things very well. She does have a very warm, down to earth personality.
I always feel so uplifted while (and after) watching your videos, Anna 🥰
Keep up the great work 😉👍🕊
I love the nostalgia in these recipes 😊
I know that Campbells and Franco American were the same company because my friend's father worked for Campbell Soup company. They had a full pantry of spaghetto's, canned spaghetti, along with cans of soup. they also had so much promotional stuff for campbells and franco american (plate and silverware sets, aprons, potholders, mugs, etc). When she went to college out of state, her father would send her cases of soup. Personally, I love canned soup....and haters need to find another channel.
This is not the meatball channel… you are very funny … in addition to everything else great about your content here.
My mom was a cashier at Kroger for 39 years. She remembers the frozen soup. She said she didn’t get that product or why they made it. I asked if she remembered when they stopped selling it but she doesn’t. She said once you thawed it, you had to use it right away. No storing in the fridge
Thank you for this info! I've been so curious about it.
To the Trolls, Complainers and Crabby Patties, you need to get a grip ! Seriously, if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all !
Thank you, Anna. I love all your enthusiasm and your love of vintage cookbooks and recipes. I’m envious of your vintage dishes, reminds me of my childhood. Sending ❤ from Indiana
Crabby Patties! 😂
@@cooking_the_books Crabby Patties is what my Sponge Bob loving grandkids call a grouchy person. 🤣 I get all my trendy banter from them. ❤️ Take care.
I ‘m enjoying what are for me flashbacks to cooking in another era. I use the various cream of _____ soups in my slow cooker recipes on a regular basis. Use it, don’t use, do whatever is your thing.
I love that you were in 4H. ❤
I loved it!!
The soupburger recipe reminded me of bit of Swedish Meatbals just deconstructed and without the rice. I bet it would be really good served over rice and would bulk out the servings without having to serve any extra sides.
Oh wow I didn't know Swedish meatballs were served with rice
my friend discovered the ground beef/mushroom soup dish back in the 70s when we were all newly married and poor. she served it over mashed potatoes. it quickly became a regular on all our meal plans and even made it to a few pot lucks. thanks for the memory.
This was great! 😃
My mother, contrary to tradition, made souperburger / sloppy joes with campbells chicken gumbo - total salt bomb, seems like the weirdest choice, but it was what I grew up with, always on white bread, no bun. It’s pretty decent if you can handle the salt. Anyone else have chicken gumbo maidrites?
I can attest to hotdogs eaten with pistachio / Waldorf salad and 7 year-old me declared it delicious. Salty and sweet, it works. 😋
This video was so fun! Love the cookbook sharing with pictures and page-thru! So great! 😃
“Cream of” anything soup is so easy to make for those who don’t like it! Or sour cream with extra spices works too!
You can also make a roux with flour and oil, add cream, milk or broth spices and/or seasonings and make your own sauces to use in place of canned soups. That way you can control the salt content.
I'd be willing to bet that the Souper Burger recipe you remember also included some dried onion soup as well. That would pretty much address everything you found lacking in the recipe as is.
❤😊I like these recipes. Thanks for the history! Plus, you can totally tweak the recipes to make how you want..I like these recipes for freezing weather.🥶👍🥘🥰
I have a Campbells cookbook too. I think I got mine at Costco 🤣 There are some good recipes and ideas.
Campbell's now has no salt added cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups, for anyone who may need to restrict their sodium intake. It might make these recipes a little more expensive, though
Also fat free versions (even Wal-Mart has their own label of that variety)
In my experience trolls are everywhere on social media and miserable complaining people with opinions are EVERYWHERE!! Ignore them those of us who love you are here for your imperfect lovely videos. You are the relaxed real wind down moment in my very busy day. I get a ton of inspiration from your vintage recipes. Do you lady we are here for it. ❤
For the croquettes if you don’t want to use the soup, you could do an egg with some bouillon - I’d stir some powdered bouillon into the scrambled egg to not miss out on the flavor!!
Ignore the negativity. Thank you for your wonderful videos!!! Keep on going. We love your videos and you !!! Thank you ❤️❤️
Goodwill is a great place to get an old cookbook
You seem like you’re being harassed, Take heart I was just commend you on your wonderful channel and you’re cooking right in the 70s where I was. Thank you so much.
For the burgers, a dash of Worcestershire sauce will take it a long way, as well as thinning the sauce with a little milk. And for the croquettes, classic croquettes are based on a thick bechamel, or what my mom and my home ec teacher called white sauce. I learned the cornstarch variant, which is milk, cornstarch, butter, salt and pepper. In my teens I worked at a cafe whose big secret was a drop of Tabasco in their white gravy, literally not enough to really discern the heat, which brightened the flavor.
We used to have the souper with noodles instead of buns for our 7 member family.
It was quite funny to hear you mention getting hold of this cookbook during your late adolescence/early teens: I first started to cook "unprompted" (e.g. not as part of school lessons, and not merely as helper to my mother) around the same age, and I have a strong memory of cooking a recipe using Campbells cream of chicken soup - I think it was a ham and leek pasta bake, and possibly from a promotional recipe booklet my mum had picked up somewhere.
So it's charming to think at approximately the same time (as I think I'm only a few years older than you) two people, separated by the Atlantic ocean, were taking steps into cooking for themselves and following recipes incorporating Campbells soups. 😊
It might be down to the specific videos I've watched so far, but there are a lot of vintage recipes using frankfurter/hotdog style sausages - I think that must be something that separates the USA and the UK, because frankfurters still seemed like an exotic unusual food when I was a kid in the late 80s and early 90s 😁
I’ve made that Souperburger, but used Cream of Celery and added a touch more mustard.
All of the recipes looked delicious! I also wanted you to know I found a 1950 Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook on Amazon. At a really good price! $15 . It came today. It was somebody’s mom’s or grandma’s. It had a Hellman’s mayo recipe flyer and a small paper cookbook from Reynolds Wrap. It ha d a couple of recipes and a note from the person she got them from and a chunk of recipes removed from a magazine. It was cookbook bingo and I feel like I won!!!! The Hellmans book has a lot of savory “ring” recipes. Lol your favorite.
I grew up in the 1960’s and remember something similar to the Souperburgers. I think I would add some Worcestershire sauce, mushrooms and garlic powder to the skillet with the canned soup to give it more flavor. And I would add more liquid, maybe beef broth, and simmer it a while longer. It would be good over rice. Thanks for all the info you give on the cookbooks. ❤
I just came across your channel; btought back forgotten memories of myself as a brand new homemaker in the 70's. I married in 1974, as most newlyweds then, we had a tight budget that first year. I remember having Campbells soup cookbooks, used them often. Such a fun video of years gone by. Thanks for the memories!
I just found your channel and really enjoyed the video. I love the name of your channel
Very funny. I subscribed and look forward to new videos 🥰
That skillet Roma would be great recipe for summer, when friends and neighbors are showering you with free garden stuff, lol. I’m not a gardener either, so I appreciate those who do!
You are so right! 😊
Oh yes, we grow tomatoes and zucchini in our garden!
I just looked up frozen soups because I have never seen or heard of Campbells doing that and guess what they do still sell it. Mainly to restaurants and hotels and it is expensive too. WOW I was amazed. I have had a version of the chicken patties before and my personal tastes go else where. But I do like what you are doing and appreciate it as well. Have a great day
We eat that hamburger stuff over rice..its delicious
My WWII Navy veteran dad would have called the first dish "shit on a shingle." (He was a sailor, after all!) Basically ground beef made with its own gravy from the juices and served on white bread. We had this many times as a kid.
Haters gonna hate, Anna. Let the negative comments blow away if you can, as these trolls don’t obviously have a clue that your channel is about cooking with vintage cookbooks. If you grew up in the 60’s and 70’s as I did, these recipes are a comforting reminder of simpler, better days. Just last night I made a tuna casserole using cream of mushroom soup. It was a recipe my late Grandmother used to make for me and I ate it and remembered her love for me. Keep up the good work!
People can be lame.. I love that you said.. just don’t make these recipes.. lol I mean, people.. really? 😂
These all looked so good! And wow! That frozen soup! I want those to come back!
I won’t complain about you using cream of soups. Cream of mushroom soup or broccoli etc. poured over top of cooked rice has been my major meal many times in the past when I had barely any money or barely any food. And even today I still love having cream of mushroom soup over top of cooked rice with maybe some cooked spinach added in. Healthy and nutritious and filling.
I love your videos, it’s like memory lane. My mom used to add cream of mushroom soup to our macaroni and cheese. I personally don’t care for canned soup so I always find a replacement or make from scratch. Keep following those recipes and don’t apologize. Campbells was king in the 60’s and 70’s.
I use cream of mushroom soup about once a week. 😂 I make Asparagus Chicken, Hamburger Gravy, Mushroom Chicken and Broccoli Cheese Chicken with cream soups all the time. Also lots of other things as well. I'm on disability so I need to make my money stretch and store brand cream soups are cheap and make great sauces and gravys. I even made a tgrow together version of turkey tetrazinni using cream soup.
I never frown upon using a cream soup in a recipe, I've made some great meals with them. People will complain just about anything these days... I loved this video Anna, thanks for sharing. The Chicken Croquettes looked tasty!
There’s a recipe in an earlier Campbells book called “Skillet Franks and Noodles” that I loved as a kid and still do to this day. My children renamed it Weinies Alfredo😂
Oh my gosh, I definitely need to seek out this recipe! 😂
@@cooking_the_books it’s in the red 1974 edition “Cooking with Soup” on page 11. My mother first found the recipe in a magazine many years before that, though.
Everybody and her dog are experts regarding diets these days, right? I have no problem using a can of cream of chicken or mushroom to throw together a casserole once in awhile that I know I'll eat. I'm 70, in good health and the doc is very happy with my labs, lol. Anyway, I own a 1982 revised edition of Campbell's Cooking with Soup book (and it says mine is a 15th printing). My book now has plenty of grease stains and is falling apart. I was 29 back then and probably picked it up at a garage sale, knowing me. The souperburger recipe was one I evidently made a few times but had crossed through the ingredient of mustard, lol. Not only that, I'm very sure I made it up and served it on toast as a gravy rather than made a sandwich, and I'd do that again in a heartbeat and might use ground sausage the next time. I tend to be very frugal and only buy marked down or cheaper cuts of meat whenever I can. I prefer chicken thighs over breasts any day of the week.
I know the grease stains and discolorations came from my trying the paella recipe found on page 92 of my book. I've modified it by using cubed chicken bouillon instead of the condensed chicken broth, and a can of stewed tomatoes instead of regular canned tomatoes. This isn't the traditional Spanish paella with the added sausage or fish; you just use chicken parts and fry them well on both sides, lol. Talk about having a good flavor, it's great because it's a complete meal, and the rice tastes great fixed this way. You fry the chicken well, remove the excess oil, stir minced clove garlic and your chicken bouillon together, cover and simmer the meat for 15-20 minutes, then you add in raw rice and tomatoes, cover again and cook on low till the rice is done. The flavor is absolutely delicious.
Your first recipe we made all the time. But instead of serving on a bun, we'd serve over rice and also add worstershire (sp?). I still make it to this day. My mom called it stroganoff. Lol.
Just came to say, your videos transport me to a happy relaxing place. I love vintage cookbooks. So glad I found your channel.❤
Comfort food at its best ! I was a teenager in the 70’s so it’s right up my alley
The rumor is true, the Detroit Lions are one win away from playing in the Superbowl....Maybe next year Browns!!! Love ya Anna and your content! Tina from Michigan
I did enjoy it. Your dry humor kills me. 😂
Love you cutting down the recipes, it's just me. I also enjoy a good cream of soup.
I have been watching your videos for a while, I just want to say that you have brought me back to my childhood. My mother has a lot of the same cookbooks you have and Watching you cook, and then the commentary on the books at the end is just so delightful. Thank you for bringing a little bit of joy to our lives!
❤
My Mom made "Souper Rice" when i was growing up for a fast comfort dish. Campbell's cream of chicken or mushroom, a soup can of milk and a soup can of rice. Simmer until tender. Tasty, cheap and easy.
Greeting Anna from frozen Oklahoma. I recently found your channel and have so enjoyed all the video's I have watched so far. I will go online to hit the "Thumbs Up." Many memories, especially the Christmas cookies video. My granny and mom are both deceased and they were who we called when trying to recreate a dish from childhood. Oh how I miss them. Anyway, I am seeing foods they cooked and noting the recipe and the "Missing secret item" which was either a simple spice or ingredient. I love cookbooks and really enjoy the review of all the cookbooks. I volunteer at a local church clothes closet and get many of my old cookbooks there. Such a joy to read and cook from. Thank you and I look forward to watching all the video in your library. I went through my cookbooks and found a Betty Crocker's Dinner Parties from 1974 with the binding you like in mint condition. If this is a cookbook you need to add to your collection, let me know and I will mail it to you. It belongs with its friends. I could kick myself because I know I have left so many of these cookbooks are the shelf at the Clothes Closet. My eagle eyes will be on the lookout going forward.
Anna - You did not let me know if you needed the Betty Crocker's Dinner Parties cookbook from 1974. If yes, I will mail it to you. Angela
I was born in the 60’s, so these are comfort food.. Thank you Anna for sharing them.
So glad you enjoyed these! 😊
I just want you to know that we love what you are doing, so please keep doing what you love with making these videos. I enjoy watching everything you make in here, even the cookbook flip throughs. There will always be haters and negative Nancy's, but just ignore those comments; it's just noise. We are cheering for you and love you ❤️
Thank you. ❤ I started getting more views on my channel around 6 months ago. I'm SO happy and grateful for my wonderful viewers, but more eyes on my videos unfortunately can mean more haters. 😂
Love these recipes! Love Campbell's Soup recipes! I grew up in the 60's and 70's and these soup recipes are such comfort foods. Thank you, Anna. 😊 A "Souper" easy recipe good enough for company dinner made for us by friends way back in 1974 which I've made from her recipe for 50 years now is as follows: Prepare a pound of egg noodles (or fettuccine pasta) as directed on package then drain out water and place cooked pasta back in the pot. Add 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 2/3 cup sour cream, 2/3 cup milk, 2 Tbsp soy sauce and 1 Tbsp poppy seeds. Stir until combined then stir in 2 cups cubed cooked chicken of choice. Note: You can add sauteed mushrooms. 😁 This was first served at our friend's dinner with green peas, corn and salad with a delicious Jell-O based dessert. Delicious!!!
Sounds like an excellent meal to me! 😋
@@cooking_the_books Yes! 😋 I hope you get to try it! 🤗
Sounds like a chicken stroganoff. I'm impressed you can remember all the sides and dessert from a meal 50yrs ago! 😄
@@feliciagaffney1998 Hehe! She actually gave us the recipe and we've been making it for almost 50 years since. 😊 She called is 'Hungarian Noodles and Chicken". 😋 I can remember details of very memorable meals even from when I was growing up. I love good food! 😁🌟🌟🌟
Condensed soup to rescue again. Able to leap a stalk of celery in a single BOUND!!
😂😂😂
I LOVE cooking with cream soups. There! I said it.
The souper-burger sounds like a steak and noodles my mother would make, yes with the mushrooms and bell peppers, but for a barbeque party lunch meal.
I remember my mom made a potato, cream of celery, spam and onion casserole topped with a little cheese. Such a comfort food throwback. I still make a vegetarian version of it now and again -makes me feel like a kid again. Thanks for all you do!!
Sorry you are getting negative comments from people who don’t get the premise of your channel. I look forward to your videos! A shot of nostalgia and your happy attitude are a great combination.
Thank you. ❤ I think more of the people who stumble upon my videos are getting it now, but a few unpleasant comments still sneak their way in sometimes. 😂
Had to comment a second time. I'm not sure if alphabet soup is still made, but I remember in Home Economics class in 1969, we meal a souper burger mix using condensed alphabet soup instead of a cream soup. Cooking with canned soups really was a thing in the 60's and through the 80's. Flavorful and economical.
Cream soup is just great for cooking….
On the souper burger - my mom made a very similar thing, but the soup was Chicken Gumbo.
I love tuna casserole with cream of celery soup
I have so few memories of my mom (I'm a younger-at-the-time stroke survivor, so I've forgotten a lot), BUT! The kielbasa and cabbage sparked a memory of my mother's cooking. Thank you.
So glad my video could spark some nice memories. ❤
Love a good soup recipe you can pull out when you’re down to pantry staples!
Some of these recipes would be a good meal prep for me. I am always looking for affordable meals for myself.
Your meatballs are at least mostly round. Mine end up looking like mini sliders lol😂.
Souperburger ... add mushrooms and serve over rice for "stroganoff' .... Chicken Patties can be made with canned/leftover salmon also.
