Soups and Stews

Whether it is a cold winter night or a warm summer day, soups and stews recipes are perfect any time. A large bowl of hearty beef stew with potatoes, carrots and big chunks of beef is perfect for a chilly evening by the fire.

Or a cold gazpacho soup would be yummy for a cool dinner during the summer. Some soups are thick and creamy while others are thin and delicious. 

During the winter, people start craving things like chili, split pea soup, and minestrone while summer calls for something light and fresh like cucumber soup or Russian Okroshka summer soup with sour cream and organic ham.

Slow cooker stews and soups are especially nice because they can simmer all day while you work, and your dinner is ready when you get home. You will find here Slow Cooker Baked Potato Soup, which is one of our most popular soups. It is excellent during any day of the week! It is insanely creamy and delicious.

In our Soups and Stews section, you can find dozens of yummy soups and stews that can fill your family up and warm up your home with soothing scents of meats, veggies, and sauce.

We have recipe cards for each recipe and many of them include a step-by-step video so you can watch how it is made every step of the way. 

Slow Cooker Ham and Bean Soup

One of our favorite soups for chilly winter nights is this ham and bean soup you make in the crock pot. Coming home to the scents of ham, vegetables, and seasonings like garlic and onions is so welcoming. All it takes is some cubed ham, carrots, celery, cannellini beans, and chicken broth with a roux mixture of heavy cream, flour, and butter. 

Brown the ham before adding all the ingredients except the roux to your crock pot and cook on high for three to four hours or on low for six to eight hours. Then, make your roux and add it to the pot. Mix well until it is thick. If it is too thick, you can add more warm chicken broth. Then cook for another 30 minutes before serving. 

Instant Pot White Chicken Chili

Are you looking for a different kind of chicken for your fall dinner with the family? Instant Pot soups are so easy to make! This white chicken chili is done in 20 minutes in your instant pot and is so easy to make, you can do it every night.

Taco Soup

This Tex-Mex taco soup is hearty and delicious with a bunch of pantry items you probably already have in your kitchen. This is similar to those soups that you make when you want to get rid of leftovers. But these are mostly canned goods. It is easy to make with little to no prep time. Just open some cans and toss them in a pot.
