Maybe pour into a bowl for the mixing? Looks awesome! I grow all my own veggies.

next time for sure!

A scoop of veggie mix added to when cooking your rice (with extra water/broth) makes an awesome veggie-rice side dish.

I bet this lady could out-cook Betty Crocker. 😁

No doubt in my mind!

You are hands down, the best teacher I have ever seen.

OH my GOODNESS! I now want a jar of this stuff! I don't even own a dehydrator--must get one! LOL

I never thought make a mix like that. Instead I pull out each jar and have to vacuum seal them all again. Thanks for the great idea Mrs. Volfie! You’re the best!

Love love love the home economics series can't stop watching it learning so much thanks Mrs. V you are appreciated!!

I just got a dehydrator, your video is the first one I have seen. I am hooked. Nothing I love better than real people.

What you can do is go to Amazon to compare their dehydrated veggie mixes. But I'll tell ya Bev, yours from the garden is priceless. It really is.

Love it. My grown children get a jar each of soup veggies and a veggie powder to hide in picky eaters dinners. Lol love the dehydrating shelf. All thanks to you bev. Before I found you? My dehydrating consisted of fruits. THANK YOU Bev 🌻🥰

Love this. I have been doing things like this for years, When you live on barely nothing every month you find ways to make food stretch as well as other supplies. Keep up the good work of teaching.

you're such a wise woman. watching your videos makes me miss my mom so much.

I'm going to do this. I can't tell you how much dehydrating has saved me money. You're the one who got me started on it. Thank you.

You're the one that inspired me to grow my own leeks this year. I had a fairly large yield, and dehydrated a good portion of them. Yesterday, I got to finally use them in a recipe of chicken and rice! I was so pleased!

I love this idea! I live in a split-level home which has a small kitchen. I've had to move all of my canned and dehydrated goods down 2 flights of stairs into the basement. I think I can find room for 1 jar in the kitchen! This makes so much sense, and you've certainly saved me a whole lot of trips up and down the stairs. Thanks, Bev! I'm doing this later today!

@@future.homesteader I completely agree. I did have the jars in my kitchen, initially, but there isn't much room for storage, and I don't have a pantry. So, my canning and dehydrating ended up in the basement where I can keep it dark, and most of the purchased food landed in the garage. While it is a little spread out, I'm up and down the stairs many times a day, anyway, so I just plan for what I need and make those trips count. Also, I do have a large basket that I carry down the to basement with me. It really helps. I also use it to carry my jars downstairs after I've done my canning. Thanks for your comments!

I know this comment isn’t about vegetables but, you look so cute with your hair styled like that.

Thanks for sharing! That jar is autumn festive looking. I could live on soup.

THIS! I never did this until this year. What a time saver. And a money saver. When I have those last two stalks of wilted celery or a couple of carrots or an onion.....I blanche it all up and throw it on the dehydrator. When its done I add it to the jar. So easy. I also just put dehydrated a couple big bags of frozen hash browns....no more icy potatoes and it takes up so little room. That's her....Bev Crocker.

Loving the home economics series. Keep them coming.

That's a jar of pure love!!!

Yes thank you for the recipe. I'm going be ready for winter now. And like you,I won't have too leave my house when ice is on the ground. God bless you for sharing.

You videos have taught me so much!! I just bought a food dehydrator and I can't wait to stock up my pantry!! Much love and hugs.

Great idea about the gifts Bev! Looks wonderful and beautiful!

What a lovely gift idea

Wonderful idea!! I must get back into dehydrating again!

Gift giving idea------- jelly jar with this soup starter and msg free bouillon. Just the right size for older single ones !

Love your tutorials. I got my dehydrator a few days ago. Your knowledge is second to none. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes from Scotland, across the pond.

You are so right, a gift like that is priceless! Wow. I am impressed and inspired! Thanks for this video!

I never dehydrated anything before , never even thought of it. Then I started watching you just over a year ago and I dehydrate everything lol. I make my soup and stew mix like that all the time now. Thank you so much. Your ideas have saved me a lot of money. Love your videos 💗

Great idea for the whole year!

That soup jar looks so yummy. 😋

Great gift idea! Thank You for sharing!!!

Such a smart lady.

Yummy!!!!❤💜🧡💙💚 I love soup!!

I am dehydrating madly, thanks to your encouragement, as things come into season here in Australia, or I find them cheap. I was gifted 8 green capsicums (sweet peppers to you) this week, that are now in the dehydrator. I am on the look out for cheap carrots, we can get "jucing carrots" in a 25kg bag for about $8, so this looks like the go for me next week. I have 2 x 2lt jars of cellery, 1lt jar onions, 1/2lt capsicums, and 1/2lt of root veges (turnip, sweed, purple & orange carrots, sweet potato. I am yet to do corn as I havent found them cheap enough as yet. We are in the middle of spring here so I am looking forward to summer, tomatoes etc

Thank you. This is inspirational. You are motivating me to get a dehydrator.

Bev.... that's EXACTLY what I was thinking ...PRICELESS! Just like YOU!🥰🌻🦋😎💜

Gorgeouse Bev. Your correct it is priceless. Awesome home economics.

That beautiful jar makes my mouth water!It is becoming wet and cool here in North Carolina and my taste is for a big pot of soup!You have given me a boost to try dehydrating.There is just me and the 5 dogs but after a Sunday dinner with a roast or some chicken there would be a pot of soup in our week along with some corn bread or yeast rolls.Yes I have bought 25 lbs of flour from Costco.I made biscuits yesterday and a pound cake this week.Before I know it my flour has gotten low.Guess my grocery list will grow a little bit more.When one depends on rides to the store or let’s one go for me I buy in bulk just so I have what I need.People say oh you can’t buy everything to last a month but you can if you think about it well enough.Have a wonderful day on the homestead and may you always be blessed.

BEVERLY I HAVE A COUPLE OF THOSE LITTLE TUBS I BOUGHT FROM WALMART . THEY LOOK LIKE THOSE FROM THE HOSPITAL BUT NICER . WHEN I DEHYDRATE ANYTHING I DUMP IT IN THE TUB IT IS SO MUCH EASIER TO PUT IT IN THE JARS . YOU COULD HAVE USED THE TUB AND MIXED EVERYTHING UP AND THEN PUT IT IN THE JAR. HOPE IT HELPS.

Excellent video! And you are SOOO right about that jar being priceless. A ton of work went into that jar, and what a super gift that will make for someone. And yes, it was stunning. And so healthy also. Great job Beverly!

LOL, what a wonderful gift will be...but goodness, I've have a hard time including the jar...Those half gallon jars are treasures in my house...Guess I'll have to stock up on more...

What a great idea. Thanks

I love it and it is beautiful too! I watched your dehydrating parsley video and started doing mine this week. I am doing another 4 trays tomorrow. I always let the parsley die down for winter and used store bought but this was so much fun and smells so real compared to store bought. Thank you!

Smells good already

Love love!! I’ll take one for Christmas ❣️❣️

Soup is my most favorite food especially sinigang - Filipino sour soup. My preferred souring agent for it is tamarind. I tend to add broccoli, spinach, chard, okra, eggplant, turnips, radishes, Daikon radish, etc to mine. Basically anything that will add flavor and absorb the souring agent tastes good it it. Vegetables don't last long in my house since they are my favorite and what I get the most energy from. We don't have very many though since I'm the only one of the three of us that likes a variety of them. Daniel will only eat the green vegetables if I sour them with tamarind. He doesn't care for the turnips and radishes. I also tend to add tomatoes.

That jar looks so good! Much, much better than the mix veggie bag you get at the store.

Blessings

Good Morning!! This is something I've been wanting to do for years. Especially when I was in the Army. I thought how nice it would be to have homemade soup mixes to take with me during field exercises or while at the gun range. A nice and great alternative to eating M.R.E. Especially during the winter when we had heaters. Just cook on top of a heater. Or when camping/hiking. Or for the kids now that they're grown and moved on to college, their own place or military. Good food. Grown and prepared with love. You are doing a great thing by sharing this knowledge and showing how easy and not so hard to do. Thank you.

Mrs. Bev I know your busy with your live stream. Don't mean to be a bother. Just want to share a great book that I've found to be very helpful. Earlier somebody asked about homemade dog food and this book actually has recipes for that plus tons more. I'm not sure how to send you a picture of the cover sorry not tech savvy enough. The title is "Homemade-702 Ways To Save Money And The Earth" by Readers Digest. It's a soft cover book. Light green and white with pictures on the cover depicting the different subject areas that are covered. Pretty sure I picked this up at Sam's club but can't say for sure because I've had it for awhile now. Copyright 2007. If and when you have time or interested I hope you'll look it up and hopefully you'll like it enough and include it into your personal library. Thank you.

@@OurHalfAcreHomestead yes so true, it would be way too much in a 1/2 gallon jar. Definitely quarts would be alot better. Thanks!!!

I also do a mix like this, mix it in a big bowl first, but I also make a Vegeta type ground up mix as flavour enhancer to other foods like pasta dishes, cooked meats, etc. I grate onions, carrots, celery, garlic, sweet peppers, and parsley, then cook the works together for 20 minutes, squeeze out the juice (that I usually can in half pint jars), dehydrate the rest, then grind it up. No salt. It gives a huge hit of healthy flavour to other, rather bland food. I make enough batches to fill a 2 litre jar for winter while fall prices are cheap on all the veg or I have them in the garden.

Look how hard you worked Bev. I'm very proud of you n your off grid life style. Btw you look pretty.

Another home run Bev! Got to get my dehydrator going 🙂

Yes ma’am that’s priceless. Keeps extra vegetables from going bad if not used.

I love green peppers as long as their raw. I do not like cooking with them cuz I don't want to bite into one. So, I dehydrate them then grind them into a powder. When I put the powder in my chili, I get the flavor of the green pepper and not the texture. It's one way to add healthy veggies to your diet that you don't like. Great for getting veggies into children too!

It's killing me that I don't have jars of everything, ready to go for soups this year, due to some travel I did. At least I have lots of egyptian walking onions. Thank God for perennials!

While it may not be home grown, you can get frozen veggies from the store and dehydrate them. I've done that in the past when something failed in the garden or I just didn't have enough. :)

I cant wait to try this method.....the only thing different I think I will do.... once I fill my jar I will pour everything in a large bowl and mix everything by hand...I think it would be more evenly mixed that way! Thanks for the idea of the soup blend Bev!!! :-)
