Soups and Stews

A stew is the ultimate low-and-slow meal. Brown your meat first for flavor, deglaze the pot to lift those browned bits (the fond), then let time turn tough cuts tender.

My Medicine Bomb Chicken Soup is a reader favorite. Stir a dark roux for Gumbo, simmer root vegetables into Sancocho, or braise beef in stout for my Guinness Beef Stew.
