Soups & Stews

Healthy soups and stews  are deeply nourishing and satisfying, plus they can be made on the cheap.   A remarkably good way to use wholesome, mineral-rich bone broths.

	Fresh Chicken Broth Achieving a solid gel when preparing homemade broth is an elusive task for many cooks; however, with a good quality chicken and a slow simmer, you can achieve a solid gel anytime.  This recipe for fresh chicken broth makes use of the whole chicken as well as vegetable scraps  for an inexpensive, but nourishing dish.
	Winter Minestrone Soup Overflowing with vegetables and brimming with nourishing, wholesome fats, this winter minestrone makes for a nourishing, nutrient-dense supper during the darkest days of the year.
	Asian-inspired Chicken Feet Stock Prepared from chicken feet and no other bones or meat, this stock produces a solid gel.   One pound of feet will produce approximately ½ gallon of well-gelled stock.   Its aroma is faintly reminiscent of Top Ramen, no joke.   Even if you prefer to season your stock with a mild combination of onion, celery and carrot or herbs of your choice, follow the same method as outlined below.
	Homemade Beef Stock A long cooking time provides ample opportunity for the wholesome nutrients present in the beef soup bones to leach out and into the water.   The resulting beef stock is rich in both flavor and nutrients – particularly minerals like calcium.   It is also a rich source of gelatin and glucosamine chondroitin.
	Coconut Shrimp Soup with Ginger, Chilies and Limes Developed to nourish my family through a wicked cold, this simple soup is made from a nourishing bone broth combined with coconut milk and seasoned with fresh lime, ginger, garlic and chilies.   The soup is warm, spicy and full of coconut goodness.
	Ham and Bean Soup for the Crockpot Ham and Bean Soup is simple food at its best.   Easily prepared in a crockpot or slowcooker.   The sweet smokiness of the ham hock complements the mildness of cannellini beans for a delicious, satisifying and nourishing meal on the cheap.
