I love soups, stews, chowders etc
NE clam chowder is my fav
Potato soup, chilli or wedding soup following closely behind
Chicken and wild rice is another fav

 

[2angelsinheaven]

Geesh I need to stay away from these threads, I'm hungry now. =o)

I voted for Clam Chowder but I like most cream based soups, corn chowder, broccoli and cheese, fish chowders, and potato. Also french onion. I'm a soup addict.

She Crab soup

Gotta go with clam chowder, either style, but New England would have a definite edge.

Chicken Tortilla Soup! I make a mean one. I absolutely love soup. During the winter I make it several times a week (homemade vegetable, chicken tortilla, chili, ham and navy beans, black bean, etc). DH starts asking me to fix something different towards the end of winter.

The best stew EVER! I like mine made with chicken thank you, no squirrels or rabbits for me!

Brunswick Stew is another traditional favorite with Southern roots, and you'll find it served with barbecue in some regions. Whether you like yours with chicken, squirrel, rabbit, or pork, you'll find several recipes here to choose from.

Origins

According to one story, Brunswick stew was named for Brunswick County, Virginia, where in 1828 Dr. Creed Haskins of the Virginia state legislature asked for a special squirrel stew from "Uncle Jimmy" Matthews to feed people attending a political rally. Brunswick, Georgia residents claim their stew is the original. It's just as likely the stew - at least a very similar version - was created much earlier. With the original ingredients of game (usually squirrel) and corn, and long simmering over an open fire, it's typical of early native dishes.

Brunswick stew is now most commonly made with chicken, or a combination of several meats, which might include rabbit, beef, and pork. Onions, corn, and tomatoes are usually included, and many recipes call for lima beans, peas, and/or okra.

INGREDIENTS:
1 hen, about 4 to 5 lbs, or about 4 pounds chicken parts
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried leaf thyme
1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup chopped onion
6 ounces lean smoked ham, diced
4 cups chicken broth
1 large can (28oz) whole tomatoes, drained and cut up
1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped red bell pepper
1 medium bay leaf
1 1/2 to 2 cups fresh shelled lima beans or 1 package (10oz) frozen and thawed
2 cups corn kernels, fresh or frozen and thawed


PREPARATION:
Cut chicken into pieces: 2 drumsticks, 2 thighs, 2 wings, and cut the two breast halves in half again. You should have 10 pieces. Trim of as much fat as possible. Rinse and let drain. In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, thyme and cayenne. Dredge the damp chicken pieces in the seasoned flour.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat.

Dredge the chicken again if the coating looks damp; shake any excess back into the bowl. Reserve the excess seasoned flour. Add the chicken pieces to the pan in a single layer without crowding, in batches if necessary, and cook, turning, until golden brown, about 7 minutes per batch. Lower the heat if necessary about 1/2 way through, so the fat doesn't burn. Remove the chicken to a large oven save casserole, Dutch oven, or baking dish. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and the onions to the skillet. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the ham and cook until lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes longer. Sprinkle the reserved seasoned flour over the ham and onions and cook, stirring, just to blend in, about 30 seconds.
Pour in half of the chicken broth. Bring to to a boil, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened. Pour everything in the skillet over the chicken in the casserole. Add the tomatoes, the remaining stock, the green and red pepper, and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, partially covered, 15 minutes. Add the lima beans and corn and simmer uncovered until the chicken and vegetables are tender, 12 to 15 minutes longer. Skim excess fat from top. Remove and discard the bay leaf and season with additional salt and pepper to taste before serving.

we enjoy Mrs Fearnows too, especially with grilled cheese sandwiches

 

[OK!]

My favorites are cream of mushroom or a good, spicy minestrone. As far as store bought goes, they just discontinued it. It was Campbell's Select Three Cheese Mushroom Ravioli.

 

[Diane]

I love most kinds of soup (unless they have any kind of fish in 'em). My favorite was Pumpkin Apple, but the restaurant where I used to order it closed. My second favorite is Creamy Chicken Noodle.

I'd love your recipe, if you wouldn't mind sharing. Thanks!

 

[sha_lyn]

Oh I love the Zuppa Tuscanna at olive garden.
I've made a pretty good clone of it at home too


Brunswick stew.... there must be as many recipes at there are place/people who make it. to me a good one is made out of a little of all the BBQ meats a restaurant serves, corn, water, BBQ sauce, vinegar chopped tomatoes and chopped onion. No peas potatoes or lima beans for me. I like okra but never had it in a good Brunswick stew
