Brunswick Stew

Not exactly soup time of year, but went ahead and made a pot of Brunswick Stew today. Stirred through it to show what’s in it.

6 boneless chicken thighs, sautéed in olive oil & seasoned with Cavenders Greek seasoning
1 10 oz bag frozen baby lima beans
1 10 oz bag of frozen cut corn
6 diced red potatoes
1 diced yellow onion
3 strips bacon diced
1/2 lb diced ham
1 big can whole tomatoes squeezed & broke apart by hand
1 box plus 1 can chicken broth (I used Swanson)
Salt & pepper to taste

Started with bacon & onion. Cook until bacon is almost done, then add everything else and simmer for about an hour. Chicken will shred apart with a fork. Keep it on low and let her go for a couple more hours and it’s ready to go. You can use squirrel or rabbit instead of chicken…..probably would have myself if I had any squirrel or rabbit, but summertime ain’t the time to go eat one of them critters.

I read “started with bacon and onion”.... perfect! Everything after that is bonus...:Rofl

That sounds awesome

Yummy!

Mmmm, I love some rabbit!

Just finished dinner. That soup/stew was very good, if I do say so myself. Made a pan of Martha White Hotrise cornbread and went to work on it! My mother passed last June and my dad has always been a soup guy……he came over and ate so much he left with a belly ache. Made me feel proud of myself. Wish you all could have a bowl and let’s visit a while. :)

LOVE Brunswick stew.

Good looking stuff!

If I recall right ,it is designed with game animals in mind .

You are correct, Ketchn. I actually got the recipe off of a local PBS cooking show called Cooking on the Wildside hosted by Phyllis Speer and John Philpot. I changed Phyllis’ recipe a bit because she made hers in a much larger amount. Phyllis used 6 squirrels, 2 chicken thighs, and 1 lb smoked ham as the meats in it. I’m gonna see if it’s on YouTube…….

Aw yes, it’s there! Here’s the link. Brunswick Stew - YouTube
