Here we go. My secret kitchen weapon is about to be exposed. Soups and stews!
Yep, soups and stews are simple go-to meals in our house. We fill our lunch box thermoses with soup. We gather around a bowl of stew on a cold day. In the summertime we still eat deliciously refreshing chilled soups.
Soups and stews are a fabulous way to use up leftovers. Soups are a simple way to squeeze in healthy vegetables. There is a reason why soups and stews are considered a comfort food. So, we’ve gathered up all of our absolute favourite family friendly soup and stew recipes. Which one will you try first?
