OMG this looks divine!! I love a good soup, could eat them no matter what the weather and this is so packed full of all the good stuff, thanks for another inspirational vid, love your food, takes me right back to the good old days xx
When you look at how expensive a tin of soup is these days, and they are full of preservatives, they are a rip off. What an absolutely banging recipe. Looks like it could make several portions, and using lovely fresh ingredients. And, I love the fact that this recipe was handed down by Nanna and Grandad. Can't get better than that. 🥳🥳🥳🥳
love your channel got my own alloment but the one thing you cant buy in the shops apart from going to newcastle is a nice leek pudding any chance you could do one so i could have a go ay it local lad from seaham thanks
I've had several strokes now and am unable to cook anymore,but I love to watch your videos:and that soup one took me back 40 years ago when the kids were little and I used old family recipes Always white pepper and cheap bits of meat as we had very little money, add some suet dumplings and a few rounds of bread would fill the kids up. We had no fast food,very little processed food, but we were all so healthy with full bellies. Thank you for the lovely memories. x
Nar thats my kind of food, proper scran yummy, ano tha loves thi parmesan cheese, a grating over the soup in the bowl would have been gorgeous 🥰 love ya recipes...
Mam used to grate half and chop the other half of the veg and chunk the rest of the potatoes in half an hour before serving, delicious, better on day two too! Xx
@@thedinnerlady9180 I am sure rat droppings, dust,grit and protective coating etc have never killed anyone, but I would rather not eat them-to each his own.
I have never put baking powder in my dumplings but I will give it a try next time . If this weather jerks up it will be at the beginning g of next week
Looks delicious ,I would have to dice the carrots, potatoes and swede by hand as I haven't got a processer, but my husband likes his chunky anyway. Thank you for making this lovely soup .😘
Oh I love the soup it would warm the cockles of anyone's heart a nice bowl of that soup on a cold wet day your hubby could take some to work jn a wide necked flask and I'd bet his work mates would say what you eating and everyone would envy him love fran xxx
It's almost like a stew Amanda. I've never grated my vegetables before but yours looks better for it. Lovely balanced meal. None of the processed food we have rammed at us all the time in supermarkets, fast food chains.
carnt beat a good veggy soup xx that is more like a good stew wish i could smell it lol i dont have a pressure cooker they scare the pants of me when i was young my mum had one and the contents hit the celing lololo
That looks amazing 😋 Cheap, nutritious, easy to make and full of flavour. That would be ideal for a warming meal in autumn/winter. I love a soft and fluffy dumpling. I’ve never thought to put them in a soup 😃
I make this regularly, we call it homemade soup here in Sunderland, everything goes in the same pan , I also sometimes just use a pack of bacon cut up ,it’s beautiful with dumplings
Hello!! I just didcovered your channel and im hooked! I have never heard of a "gamon" so of course, being a curious wench, I peeked it! Your soup looks wonderful, (and as I live in Northern Wisconsin, we have 2 seasons here- July 4th and winter) i can see this soup on my monthly meal rotation.! I also supscribed and will binge watch!! ❤❤❤❤
Hi guys thanks for another great dish. I’ve never heard of it but I’m definitely going to be trying it !! Wow it looked so good . Also thanks for sharing you use a machine to chop the veg because you should see me tackling a swede 😅😂. Stay well and thanks again xxx
I've just stumbled upon your channel. I'm liking what I've seen so far. The only change, I'd suggest is to soak the lentils. Soaking removed phytates and help prevent gastrointestinal distress. Phytates interfere with nutrient absorbtion.
My mother made something similar, although without the swede/turnip. I've never quite been able to mimic the taste. Good to hear the accent- I'm originally from Tyneside.
Hi Mandy your soup and dumplings are fab will be making it next week great to see you both hope your weekend is good 👍 John in stow on the wold Cotswolds
wow your lidls are cheap. south of England and that gammon in lidls is £8 sadly I don't have a butcher near me.....well I have one but at no meats cheaper than £50 I don't even bother to look any more. dumplings take about 5 tablespoons water and I tend to cook them for about 30 minutes in my stews - weird, I like stews but hate soup
I always add to the dumplings either fresh chopped parsley or a 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of dried mixed herbs. just adds another layer of flavour to the soup, or stew your having the dumplings in.
Beddy lads Lass I've got 2 words for you - fabulous pet. 👍😋🤤😋. I like adding barley, split pea and lentils soup mix instead of dumplings to bulk it out.
Yummo!! I’ve probably eaten this many times but was too young to remember. It looks so good though and I could live on soup, so another pot of soup coming up,it’s getting colder and colder over here in Australia so soup will be on my menu many times, I could eat it all day long. Thank you for this video. I’m actually going to ask my oldest sister as she remembers a great deal more than me seeing how I’ve been here since iwas 4 years old,I don’t remember a great deal.
I absolute love a soup, it’s a great way of eating loads of vegetables, a Greek lentil soup is delicious too but you add red wine vinegar in it towards the end of cookin, you can add all sorts of veg and different lentils and it’s so tasty. I don’t have an allotment but I order from Abel and Cole which is mostly organic and I’ll definitely be making more soups in the colder weather
I love your recipes - proper food that doesn't cost a fortune. I'm a 56 year old Northumberland lad and your allotment soup took me back to leek days at the local club 😊 xx
lynne gateshead, that soup looks lovely glad you made that as its so popular me mother made those dumplings in it, she used to come in from working on the school dinners she had a piece of muslin and she would make a great big leek pudding with mince and onion and whole potatoes in the winter days the leek pudding was hot and moist and fluffy, if you make a leek pudding as its lovely, if you cant get any leeks she made a onion pudding which was lovely my auntie used to take me to the flower show and vegetable show at the exhibition park the size of the leeks and great big giant onions. lynne
Lovely soup. Just how I make it.. I add salt to the dumpling mix.. And onions in the soup with the leeks.. You can add anything you like. I always still call the Swede turnip that's what they were called when I sold them in the coop🤗 in the 60s x
Love it, just wanted to know when I cook the gammon I pre boil the gammon and strain the water and then fresh water and cook up again and go from there as my nan said it takes most of the salt off, and your sweed is turnip here in Ireland ❤
I love what you done there .I always have left over veg from Sunday .what great idea to do .bacon Joint chopped up and those dumplings omg that’s definitely something I will do .Thanks love for another great vlog 👍🏻😊🩷
Looks fantastic, my Mother used to get bacon bones from the butchers with loads of barley in with the veg you used, you could almost slice it it was that thick... Going to knock a pan of this up next week, nice comfort food for this winter weather in June...
OMG this looks divine!! I love a good soup, could eat them no matter what the weather and this is so packed full of all the good stuff, thanks for another inspirational vid, love your food, takes me right back to the good old days xx
looks well tasty
Nice recipe. Long video. Watched at 3 x speed. needs editing.
Looks delicious, hearty n warming meal, some nice crusty bread would go nicely with it

Yes we had some for lunch today and some in the freezer x
Totally agree, I cook as much as possible from scratch... processed food is just too expensive these days, agree 💯
This is much better for you as well..
love your channel got my own alloment but the one thing you cant buy in the shops apart from going to newcastle is a nice leek pudding any chance you could do one so i could have a go ay it local lad from seaham thanks
Yes definitely used to love them x
The blot outdoors show is from your area ha sorry I’m a fan

Thank you for sharing your cooking skills with us. Your home style recipes sure are great!!
Just what we need for this unseasonal cold and wet June 😂
We had leek and potato soup on Saturday for our tea, it’s was lovely with crusty bread
There's nothing as good as a hearty soup. This looks amazing
I wish we still had our allotment but had t give it up a year ago xxx I miss it so much
Same. Gave mine up a few years back. Really do miss it. Growing your own is the absolute best 👌
Mam used to grate half and chop the other half of the veg and chunk the rest of the potatoes in half an hour before serving, delicious, better on day two too! Xx
Wonderful recipe all year round fills you up not out
You really should wash lentils-you would be convinced if you saw what comes off them.
I've never or my nanna didn't I've survived 57 years haha x
@@thedinnerlady9180 I am sure rat droppings, dust,grit and protective coating etc have never killed anyone, but I would rather not eat them-to each his own.
Sometimes I bake my dumplings in the oven then add them to stew of soup just before sieve up
I have never put baking powder in my dumplings but I will give it a try next time . If this weather jerks up it will be at the beginning g of next week
Lovely soup, just what you need on a rainy June day
Yes wet cold day in the north east. No summer yet !
Howdy neighbour, a onion/ leek pudding with it would have been nice accompaniment Amanda.
On my list mate x
Has the Dinner Lady got a recipe book or considerd writing/selling one on here
I don't wouldn't know how to do it haha how is the cosori doing ?x
Lovely, I use celery salt when making my soup
good healthy pot of soup
If you put a damp T-towel flat under your chopping board it stops it moving about.
Looks delicious ,I would have to dice the carrots, potatoes and swede by hand as I haven't got a processer, but my husband likes his chunky anyway. Thank you for making this lovely soup .😘
Looks like a wonderful recipe that I’m going to have to try. Love soups and stews and one pot recipes. Thanks so much!
You make delicious food. Just like my mum did.
We had soup lunch time it was so cold wet and windy but unfortunately nit hone made haga
On next week's menu for sure 😊 thankyou
Smashing soup mand, ya can't beat the old ways where cookings concerned. 😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
The skin and fat is my favorite part of the joint. The soup look so good.
I'm not familiar with lentils as an ingredient. Can you share with us what qualities lentils add to a soup, or indeed any other recipe?
Fabulous old ham and veggie 🍜 delicious 😊
We called it sticky rib soup. Mam used to get bacon ribs and boil them. I remember grating too
I never weigh anything in regular made recipes any more
Oh I love the soup it would warm the cockles of anyone's heart a nice bowl of that soup
on a cold wet day your hubby could take some to work jn a wide necked flask and I'd bet his work mates would say what you eating and everyone would envy him love fran xxx
I remember my Gran and Mum making something like this, they called it broth. Lovely. Now I need a food processor🤪. Thank you Mandy.
It's almost like a stew Amanda.
I've never grated my vegetables before but yours looks better for it.
Lovely balanced meal.
None of the processed food we have rammed at us all the time in supermarkets, fast food chains.
Do mine the same but use yellow split peas and barley in equal amounts instead of red lentils. Just the way my mother and nana made it
Delicious recipe. I’m off again to me kitchen
Looks Very nice, I would love this
I hardly ever remember to use my processor, right i will make this tomorrow, that'll see me through the next few days for lunch. Thanks
How lovely that an old recipe brings back memories from long ago. Xxxx
We can get Atora Suet in B and M in Scotland anyway.
I have an allotment, but never come across Allotment soup, a banging recipe, giving it a go definitely 😊❤
carnt beat a good veggy soup xx that is more like a good stew wish i could smell it lol i dont have a pressure cooker they scare the pants of me when i was young my mum had one and the contents hit the celing lololo
Haha x
Looks tasty, but as I don't like gammon I'd substitute with chicken. Still a hearty soup in, ahem, summer.
What a great name for a soup, That looks delicious thanks for the recipe.
Thank you x
That looks amazing 😋 Cheap, nutritious, easy to make and full of flavour. That would be ideal for a warming meal in autumn/winter. I love a soft and fluffy dumpling. I’ve never thought to put them in a soup 😃
Oh my word this looks bloody delicious I want to eat a bowl right now 😋😋😋
Gonna do this...love the name "Allotment Soup"...although I am not going to grate because have only tiny grater (chop in small pieces.....)...yummy!
That looks delicious, just right for a rainy day.
That looks so good! And yes it is cold enough still for warming soups!
Wonderful meal I will be making this often .Thanking you again x
I make this regularly, we call it homemade soup here in Sunderland, everything goes in the same pan , I also sometimes just use a pack of bacon cut up ,it’s beautiful with dumplings
Beautiful memories and a lovely looking soup, my mum and nan used to make yummy soup like this ❤
I used to watch mum making this soup I make it but I can't get the same tast as mumx

It's winter here in Australia 🇦🇺 and I love soup. The only thing I would do different is saute the leeks and probably add celery. Looks yum
You really shouldn't let people criticize your cooking methods. I love the way you cook. Reminds of my oym mum❤
It's fine everyone has a opinion and I respect that xx
Hi Mandy your soup and dumplings are fab will be making it next week great to see you both hope your weekend is good 👍 John in stow on the wold Cotswolds
Ilove the soft dumpling, probably because that's what my mum used to make.
wow your lidls are cheap. south of England and that gammon in lidls is £8
sadly I don't have a butcher near me.....well I have one but at no meats cheaper than £50 I don't even bother to look any more.

Beddy lads Lass I've got 2 words for you - fabulous pet. 👍😋🤤😋. I like adding barley, split pea and lentils soup mix instead of dumplings to bulk it out.
Haha barley is the stuff of the devil 😈 😅 🤣
My grandma made something similar, but used barley instead of lentils. She called it broth.

My nanny used to make allotment soup she used barely in too and her spuds were chunky!!! I miss it so much 🥺 I think I will be giving it a try.
Perfect allotment soup in out opinion xxx
That’s just how I make my soup too mand yours looks delicious thank you great way to use up any veg and healthy as well 🫶Amanda xx
Lovely recipe. Home made soup is so much better than canned - and as another viewer said - more economical ❤
lynne gateshead, that soup looks lovely glad you made that as its so popular me mother made those dumplings in it, she used to come in from working on the school dinners she had a piece of muslin and she would make a great big leek pudding with mince and onion and whole potatoes in the winter days the leek pudding was hot and moist and fluffy, if you make a leek pudding as its lovely, if you cant get any leeks she made a onion pudding which was lovely my auntie used to take me to the flower show and vegetable show at the exhibition park the size of the leeks and great big giant onions. lynne
Oh I make this soup too but i always plonk a dollop of mustard in my bowl 😊
Great thing I found with swede which is hard to peel and slice, is to cut it with a big bread knife, and kind of saw it, works a dream ..
Love watching you, you’re amazing. ❤
Thank you so much x
Lovely soup. Just how I make it.. I add salt to the dumpling mix.. And onions in the soup with the leeks.. You can add anything you like. I always still call the Swede turnip that's what they were called when I sold them in the coop🤗 in the 60s x
Wow, I'm from the northeast, and i think my nana used to make exactly this for me when i was little. 😊
Looks scrumptious. Might even add some cauliflower. Thanks.
Love it, just wanted to know when I cook the gammon I pre boil the gammon and strain the water and then fresh water and cook up again and go from there as my nan said it takes most of the salt off, and your sweed is turnip here in Ireland ❤
Yes I used to but these ones from the supermarket are not as salty than the real cured meats if I was luckily enough to get one I would soak x
Love homemade soup xx
I love what you done there .I always have left over veg from Sunday .what great idea to do .bacon Joint chopped up and those dumplings omg that’s definitely something I will do .Thanks love for another great vlog 👍🏻😊🩷
Proper old school.do yous want a lodger.be trying this soon 👍
Looks a good hearty soup it’s similar to what my Mum used to make but the veg was cut into small dice rather than shredded/grated.😋😋😊
Looks fantastic, my Mother used to get bacon bones from the butchers with loads of barley in with the veg you used, you could almost slice it it was that thick... Going to knock a pan of this up next week, nice comfort food for this winter weather in June...
Yum just what’s nerdy this ago weather
the cosori gets well used and i use the ninja for pressure and slow cooking etc
My mum coming from the north she used to put mixed herbs in hers looks good great
That looks fantastic fair play! 👏👏👏👊
Never seen this soup before, definitely going to try it, looks great.
This is a Geordie recipe .. I was brought up on it and still make it now 🤗 delicious
It looks like you have a very modest kitchen... no fancy set up.....But your food is fit for royalty!
Wow thank you so much x
Or a ham shank 😍 the soup is always better the next day too 👍
So true! X
