NBR: Stew/Soup Recipes

SnShne322 · October 2013

The weather is finally starting to take a turn to seasonable here and I just really want to hunker in this weekend. I'm also craving a good soup/stew. I have a few in rotation, but they are getting boring. I would prefer something on the healthier side, but more I'm just not looking for something UNhealthy. Bonus points for anything that has veggie/meat chunks so I can give something to Wes too. I love beef stews, but my crock pot burns the shit out of everything (do NOT buy this crockpot, whatever you do) so it would have to be stove top/oven. Any suggestions?

So this isn't completely one-sided, here is a recipe that I've used and liked.

Now I want soup this weekend!

I made this one for a friend last fall and her family loved it: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/11/turkey-pot-pie-soup.html.

All of my soup recipes are for the slow cooker because that's they only way shit gets made around here.

I am a soup fanatic. I have a dozen or so favourites that are on major rotation in the winter.

The favourite by far in our house is stuffed pepper soup. http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/12/stuffed-pepper-soup.html <-- this is for the slowcooker, but can easily be adapted to stove top. The slowcooking part isn't necessary at all.

Another favourite is Pasta e Fagioli. I made this one for our office potluck today (though it's now been sitting so long, the pasta has soaked up most of the broth). http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/pasta-e-fagioli-10000000521146/

Oh, the cheeseburger soup sounds interesting. J is not a huge soup person so this might be a good middle ground.

I'm trying to convince J that I need a new one. Seriously, the thing KILLS any meat and burns everything else. It boils on low.

I just made a delicious and ridiculously healthy crock pot veggie soup. It also had ground turkey in it. it's the Heart Healthy soup from the Crockin' Girls website. I added a few other veggies to it, and used more liquids than it says. Check out the recipe, because I see no reason why it couldn't be converted to a stovetop simmer soup, and it sounds like exactly what you're looking for, with the hunks of veggies and meat and really, really healthy. It's just a matter of getting the big veggies (like carrots and celery) cooked through and the flavors to come together, so just leave it going on the stove for a while. DH and I said that next time we make it, we will leave out the ground turkey and maybe add some barley or quinoa instead.

@SusieBW is this it?

Yup. That's the one. I think that using tomato juice for the broth is part of what made it so amazingly delicious.

Ours what not that expensive at all. I bought my brother the same one a couple years ago. He's gone 12 hours a day and never had a problem with stuff burning. I say a new one for you is a smart purchase!

I just got a new Crock Pot for my birthday in August because my old one died.. sorta. It had a timer, etc. and from doing some research, it seems like the more bells and whistles it has, the more things can go wrong. I got this one: http://www.amazon.com/Crock-Pot-SCCPVL600S-6-Quart-Portable-Stainless/dp/B003HF6PUO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382717563&sr=8-1&keywords=slow+cooker+manual and so far I really like it. Not too pricey and I've never had an issue with stuff burning.

As for soups, I'm a soup fanatic. Most of my recipes are in Word docs because I've tweaked them so much to get them just right. But this is one that I love:

Also, I have found that most Crock Pot soup recipes can be made on the stove. If there's beef in them, it might not be quite as tender, but otherwise the results seem to be pretty similar. I don't always decide to make soup the night before or early enough in the morning to put it in the Crock Pot, and the recipes are usually pretty adaptable to the stovetop.

i have a bunch on my blog sparks from the kitchen dot com under the soups and slow cooker part of the index. the tuscan onion one is especially good.

My favorite stew to make is Enchilada Chicken Stew.
It is a crock pot dish, but I've always found if I forget to put on the crock early enough, cooking on the stove works just as a well and faster.
Tonight I'm making butternut squash soup, the apple cider version. Also able to be done on the stove.
But most of the time I stick to a beef or chicken stew on the stove. No recipes for those, it changes every time for me. Oh, or crab soup, which changed every time too but is so yummy.

RhymeReason · October 2013

These are some of my favorites. Not sure how healthy they are (especially the last one...and the first one) but they are tasty

@SnShne322 We have Crock Pot Smart Pot. It's an older version of this one: http://www.amazon.com/Crock-Pot-SCCPVL605-S-6-Quart-Programmable-Stainless/dp/B0061TWKWU/ref=pd_sbs_k_5

It looks like they changed the programmable options though. I like that we can set it for any time from 30 minutes to 12 hours on low or high. Seems that isn't the case with the newer ones.

Not particularly good for you probably, but delicious!
