I have a lot of favorites, but certainly at the top of my list is split pea, but I do not go by the recipe on the package. I have my own which I think I have posted before.
Berretta, thanks for reminding us about this thread from back a few years.
I hope I get this right, I don't have the recipe here with me
Harvest stew
2lb pork shoulder cut into 1.5 inch cubes
1 lb winter squash (I use pumpkin but not the pie kind) cut into 1 inch cubes
2 or 3 turnips in 1 inch cubes
1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes
1 C edamame
1 C corn
1 yellow onion coursley diced
2 or 3 cloves garlic crushed
3 C chicken stock
Fresh sage
olive oil
S&P
Paprika (I half spicy and half smoked)
Flour
mix flour S&P and paprika and put in a plastic bag. Coat the pork with spice mixture in the bag and set aside.
In a large dutch oven Saute onion in olive oil until soft, add garlic and cook another minute. Remove onions and garlic and brown the pork in the same pan (you may have to do it in batches) and then return meat and onions to pan, add the squash, tomatoes, turnips, sage and chicken stock and simmer for a couple of hours at least. Sometimes I wait to add the the squash and turnips until the meat has cooked an hour or so so they don't get too soft. The paprika will turn the olive oil dark when you brown it and add to the flavor of the broth. I usually adjust S&P and add Panola Clear hot sauce if needed before serving.
Best served with snow in the air!!!
Pasta e fagiole, lentil soup and, of course, chili. Soups and stews freeze so well, so our freezer is stocked with them in the fall and winter.
