Soup, Stew, Chili, Gumbo (Cold weather eats)

[RMac5 1551]

Cold and snowing in Amarillo. Great night for chicken and dumplins.  My mamaw made great chicken and dumplins, my wife’s are just as good.

 

[Underdog 28544]

And the good dumplings too.  My wife does an excellent job with hers.

I have a bulletproof recipe for dumplings:

Noooo! Bump biscuits don’t compare.

Ain't nobody got no time for making no biscuits.

[utee94 15797]

biscuit dough is super easy to make, and tastes way better in the soup than canned.

[Underdog 28544]

Wife uses Bisquick, have tried the canned biscuits before but didn't much care for it.

1 extra minute over canned biscuits and far superior results. That being said, I’m down for doing it with a rotisserie chicken instead of a raw whole from scratch.

It’s been over a year since Kent Rollins posted this Chicken & Dumplings recipe and I haven’t made it yet.  Big arctic front inbound next week, so I foresee a batch of these in my future:

Good Lord that looks fantastic.

Not sure if anyone makes it here but I'm a big fan of bigos. Probably because I'm Polish.

Decided to make a beef stew tonight. Wife (no pics) wasn’t happy it took 2.5 hrs and wasn’t ready until after 7:30.

Browning the meat


Deglazing with wine and some onions

Added beef back and a sack full of herbs, more wine, and beef stock


After 2 hours of simmering.


Potatoes, carrots and celery added


Mushrooms added and went for another 10 min


Ready to eat!

Yeah, normally do. Time and work got away from me this time.

[jimmyjazz 45877]

I'd eat that.  What cut of beef?

We have all of the cedar fever over here.  The wife’s (no pics), turned into an upper respiratory infection. Mine (you don’t want pics) turned into pink eye (cedar or the 4 y/o, not sure).  So, cooking instead of golf for me.  Last nights and tonight’s dinner (the radishes in the beef stew were a last minute bad idea from our garden).  

[MalibuSheriff 1090]

Dammit! It’s cold up here in Tulsa today!  A hunting buddy’s dad introduced us to his ‘Quick Posole’ a couple of decades ago on an extremely cold day out on a ranch in Shackelford County.  Had to whip some up recently to beat the cold back.

If you have the ingredients, you can have this together in less than an hour.  I love traditional New Mexican posole but if you’re short on time, this hits the spot.  Usually serve with skillet cornbread or quesadillas.

Quick Posole

— One pound breakfast sausage browned

— One large onion diced and added to browned sausage, cook for 2-3 minutes

— Four cans of hominy, white, yellow or mix.

— Two cans of Rotel Original

— 3-4 potatoes diced

— Chicken broth (enough to cover ingredients)

— 1 Tbs of Cumin

— Regular Chili powder (McCormicks, etc.) to taste

[Rip76 4924]

May try this today.

I’ve been pushing snow since 4AM. Wife has a crock pot beef stew with copious amounts of garlic and onion and a glorious looking chuck roast from my buddy’s cow. It’s planned for supper

[RMac5 1551]

Needs a big ol chunk of cornbread 

[dcbc 14464]

Chicken, sausage, brisket Gumbo before the ice and snow.

[VABuckeye 2472]

Just had a grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup. So good on a cold night.

No shit, get a pot of something going during the Cowboys game and profit.  I'm going with green chili pork stew myself.

 

[DoobieWah 1432]

Chicken Soup

Homemade stock (obviously)

Fresh chicken, carrots, onion, snow peas, celery, mushrooms, lemongrass

Frozen pork and shrimp dumplings, okra, corn 

Dried noodles, kaffir lime leaves, piquin pepper flakes, 

Garnish cilantro, green onions

[Chico_SA 521]

This Pazole from a couple weeks ago might be my new go to. Simple dried chili recipe.

[Chico_SA 521]

About to start some chili using some of the same.

[Chico_SA 521]

Simmering before I make the paste… glad I’m not a Cowboys fan…

What's your guajillo/ancho ratio, and how many pounds of protein?

Chicken soup for this cold snap

About 2:1 guajillo/ancho with 3 arbol thrown in. I trimmed a lot of fat, so I'm guessing 4.5 lbs of protein.  

[Chico_SA 521]

Paste and beef about to go back in with onions and a couple of jalapeños

[Chico_SA 521]

Needs to simmer for a while, but I will be up late, and the fam will eat well tomorrow.

I started trying to make a new England clam chowder then I just started adding random stuff.  It turned out delicious.  Call it stone soup

I am envious of your mise en place.  I just chop and toss in the pot as I go.

Wife made a big pot of pinto beans.  Gonna have some cornbread and pig out.

[Mo Horn 8816]

Didn't get pics, but made a pot of turkey chili with turkey we froze at Thanksgiving for just this reason. Used the Homesick Texan recipe. Starts with toasting and reconstituting ancho, pasilla, and guajillo chiles. So good.

I used to be a really frantic cooker.  Then I started doing mise en place.  It takes a lot of the strain off of cooking.

My wife asked me to make this hamburger stew tonight, so I obliged. This was super easy, pretty quick, and very tasty. Served with cornbread but I could also see not adding potatoes and serving over mashed potatoes to make a lazy shepherds pie or something. Anyway, I’d eat it again, it was damn good. Not my picture but you get the idea
