Stew Soup

October 25, 2012

This fall has been so mild. We have had a few cold and rainy days but the weather has mainly been wonderful. Wednesday we were in the 70′s. Which is crazy for Indiana, this time of year.

On Monday we got a little taste of fall/winter. It was cold and grey and rainy. I was so thankful to have a delicious stew in the crockpot, waiting for us. And an added bonus, almost everything was local!!! Meat – LOCAL, Vegetables – LOCAL, Chicken broth – homemade from LOCAL meat, sage –  LOCAL

 

Here is what I did!!! :)

The Ingredients:
1.25 lb Stew Meat
1 Large Onion, Big Dice
3 Carrots, Big Dice
1/2 Medium Butter nut squash, Big Dice
1 14oz Can of Diced Tomatoes
3/4 Cup Chicken Stock
4 sage leaves (leave whole and on top)
Dried Basil, Oregano, Cumin
Splash of Apple Cider Vinegar
Salt and Pepper

The Directions:
Dice up all of your veggies and add to the crockpot.
Sear the Stew Meat. ** Note on the meat: the pieces were big when I got them, so I chopped them up anywhere from in half to into quarters!
Once Stew Meat is browned on all sides add into the crockpot. Stir and mix vegetables.
Add in spices {to taste}, Salt + Pepper, Apple Cider Vinegar, Chicken Stock + Can of Tomatoes {with liquid!}.
Stir it up a little, set on high for 5 or so hours or on low for 8 or so hours. Take out the sage leaves.
When done the meat falls apart like a pot roast… And is super yummy!
ENJOY!!!
