Well, it was a week before I actually started to make the soup…but, omg, it’s SO GOOD!! I put on my cookin’ music and got to work, and by the time it was done, well, I found a new love. Thanks for the recipe, Betty, it’s my new favorite!!
Rebecca, I am so excited you tried the soup and it was a hit! Thanks for sending me the pictures, too – it is too cool to see your soup after following my recipe! Looks like it was delicious ;)

Betty Witch, nice hat, but I was distracted by something else. Must have been the eyeball. Pretty funny. I have some lighting tips if you are interested.
Hi Larry!
Must have been the eyeball ;)
I’d love to hear your lighting tips.
When we did the FOX interview, the camera man was kind enough to offer up a loaner on his lighting rig so we might try using that next episode ;)
Thanks for dropping by!

Betty
Betty,
Sorry so late… must have got lost in the Bettyvill woods! In all honesty the scary thing about bad horror doc’s was that I paid to see the stupid thing oh so long ago and still have not got back to normal!
This soup looks AWESOME! Have to give it a try now that it is getting frosty out!
Loved the Vid! So many Bettys How do you do it Betty and still stay Average?
Thanks for the yummy doings! Keep Up The Great Work!
Hey there, Apella!
You’re never late! Always right on time if you ask me… new one coming out by the end of the week ;)
And, don’t worry… we all make mistakes – who hasn’t paid good money to see a bad movie? I think my worst ever was Irreconcilable Differences. Remember that one? Wasn’t even supposed to be scary, but it gave me nightmares!
Thanks for the love – I’ll be keeping it Average ;)
xo,
Betty
I really do admire your skillz in the kitchen and with the camera.
I’m still just doing sequential shots and making a cooking story out of them.
Serious Question: is it really that big of a deal to use low sodium chicken stock if I’m going to salt everything else?
Sincerely,
Average TravelingSalesman Bill (aka Chef Bill Cooks)
Thanks, Wild Bill! Your videos are very entertaining :)
Great question!
Serious Answer: In my humble opinion, that’s exactly why you should use low-sodium chicken stock.
Happy Halloween!
Betty
Once again YUM YUM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Betty,

Hi Scott,
It may seem strange that I’ve never made Thanksgiving dinner before. But, I’m the last of six children, so I’m just waiting my turn. Not that I’m disappointed, I look at Thanksgiving as a day off :)
Here is a great post on Mahalo that has several links to various Cranberry Sauce recipes from the simple to the gourmet:
http://www.mahalo.com/Cranberry_Sauce_Recipe
This Betty Crocker recipe looks like a good place to start:
1 pound fresh or frozen cranberries (4 cups)
2 cups water
2 cups sugar
1. Rinse cranberries with cool water, and remove any stems or blemished berries.
2. Heat water and sugar to boiling in 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Continue boiling 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
3. Stir in cranberries. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Continue boiling about 5 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until cranberries begin to pop. Pour sauce into bowl or container. Refrigerate about 3 hours or until chilled.
Prep Time: 5 min
Total Time: 3 hours 25 min
Makes: 16 servings
TIPS:
-Be sure to cook the cranberries until they “pop” in order to release the natural pectin, which thickens the sauce.
-Want more flavor? Stir in 1 tablespoon grated orange peel after cooking.

Hope this helps!
