It is absolutely soup season. I am making chicken and noodles tomorrow. I will be trying your take. I am excited for a second upload a week. Have a wonderful week and a Happy New Year ❌️⭕️
Lots of good recipes, today, Julia!! Something you might want to try in your beef soup: Parsnips! Really. Sauté them with the rest of the veggies, they have a unique flavor that
adds a little something extra. Try it. 💜
A trip through your cookbooks would be nice.
When I have a snack attack, I take a ½ a can of mixed veggies and 2 cups of tomato bullion. Microwave 2 min. This is NOT an awesome veggie soup. The veggies don't soak up the broth. But it satisfies.

You are just amazing!!! Thank you!
Happy New Year 🎊. Thank you for all the soup recipes ❤
Any cookbooks left?
❤ Merry Christmas Everyone 🎄🎁🎄🎁
Thank you for sharing 😊.
I would love your new Thursday videos to show how you chop up your veggies, tips on time saving devices you use, etc..It’s the chopping, slicing, cutting that is so time consuming.
Amazing. I will definetely try
The meatless vegetable soup could be a great option for New Year’s Day replace chickpeas with black eye peas and kale with collard greens.
Julia, I have watched your YouTube for years. Thank you for sharing quick pictures of your adorable little ones. I have enjoyed watching your cooking skills and knowledge increase with each year. I just ordered all 3 of your cookbooks. Thank you and best wishes for another delightful year of sharing recipes with the Tube! Happy New Year to you and your family! 2026!
Hi Julia 😉 thank you for sharing this delicious soup recipes.. especially this week. I'm going to enjoy cooking sausage and potatoes aoup yummy 😋. Julia my sweet friend have a wonderful and blessed 🙏 week . And Happy New Years 2026. 🎇✝️😇💚
Julia, your cookbooks were on my Christmas list this year and my family bought me both books. When I opened my presents I quickly looked to see if you signed the newer cookbook and you did! I was so excited! I love both books! Blessings to you and your family! Look forward to 2026 recipes!! 🎉
Souos look amazing. On the chicken and tortilla soup I use rotisserie chicken, add cilantro and jalapeño. Because I don't like the texture of cooked tomatoes, I blend them up. It's a favorite
I love your recipe soup my favorite I'm old grandma & live alone, with Jesus in my heart. Thanks for sharing Awesome ❤
This is exactly what I needed today! I'm using all my veggies leftover from the holidays!! I'm using my ham bone! Omgosh smells good in here!! Soups and stews!!!
Could I use/ substitute zucchini if so what?
What about Kale? Don't like zucchini or kale. I want to try all of these soups. I have never had lentils because I don't like some beans or peas but you make lentils look yummy. I want to make the lentil sloppy joe I watched you make.
Yummy delicious looking soups, perfect for cold winter dinners! Thanks Julia and Happy New Year!
I gotta try that queso chili 👀
Cheat for the chicken and bean rotel soup.. i used canned chicken for a fast warm dinner 🙂
Happy New Year Julia !🎉
Another HOME RUN Video…!!! Thanks!!

I got my cookbook bundle today and I see recipes I can’t wait to make!! Thanks, Julia!! ❤
Hi Julia, my mom has your cookbooks. I tried the sun dried tomato tortellini. I thought it was good but you might want to top it with some goat cheese. It gives it a bit of a zing Love your channel.
I love Chicken Tortillia Soup! We,re currently filling up the freezer with meals. We don,t have restaurants here. About 3 fast food places. We always double recipes,and stock that freezer up. Its getting ready to be fishing time. The big ones are coming down the Coosa River. We come home cold,and tired,so these will be great. Love my cookbook youngin! From the backporch in Alabama
Love your recipes❤
All the soups look delicious 😊. Thanks Julia. Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year 🎉.
Thanks Julia. I love soups.😊
Your measuring spoons are adorable
I got an instant pot and a automatic bread maker machine for Christmas so I need some instant pot meal recipes. I really wanted a rice maker, but figured I might as well ask for a pressure cooker so I can can ,cook, and do rice. I know you have instant pot recipe videos, but could do like a top 10 of favorite hot pot recipes video? I've already made about 8 of recipes since finding ypur channel a few weeks ago. I pretty much only do slow cooker or casseroles during the winter.
Measuring spoon in the pot, hey, it's real life
Most of your soups need bay leaves, and celery seed. Leave out the oregano unless it’s an Italian based soup.
Seriously, get her cook books! I’m having the time of my life with them! ❤️❤️❤️😋😋😋
Just a question on the tortilla soup. At any point do you add tortilla strips to it?
Thank you Julia. I have been wanting to learn to make a hearty vegetable soap. Your recipe looks delicious and healthy. Julia, you are the best! 😊
I make a “ faux” potato soup for very few carbs.
Sauté onion,celery,carrot in butter, add a bunch of cauliflower florets. A little flour or arrowroot, cook a minute, then add chicken broth. Cook until tender, top with some cream when done.
I add some chopped leftover ham if I have it.
I love soups. I can live on them all winter ,and well year round. Thank you always Julia. Have a blessed New year. This is probably my favorite just because of SOUPS !!!!!!!❤❤❤
The veggie soup ,I wonder if tortellini would go good in that and spinach instead of kale. I'm not a fan of kale. It still Sounds delicious
