Categories     Other Soups

Time 8h

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 10# bag(s) chicken leg quarters
1 3-4 lb beef roast
1 3-4 lb pork roast
2 -15 lb bags of potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 - 3 lb bag of yellow onions, peeled and diced
2 medium green bell peppers
2 can(s) (large) tomato juice
3 bottle ketchup
4 can(s) whole kernel corn, drained
4 can(s) (large) cans vegetable soup
salt and pepper to taste
hot sauce to taste

Steps:

  • 1. I use 3 different dutch ovens to cook my meats. After all meat is done, remove from broth and set aside to cool. Place the broth from chicken and beef (omit the prok broth...has a whang to it) in a very large cooker. (I use a big lobster pot) Add potatoes, bell pepper and onions and bring to almost a boil. Add tomato juice. Let cook until potatoes are almost done. Add remaining ingredients and simmer. Shred all meat and add to pot. If too thick add small amounts of water until a thin soup is formed. Add salt, pepper and hot sauce to your preferential taste. I serve with crackers or cornbread. This recipe makes around 10-15 gallons depending on amount of water you add. Hope you enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the stew will taste. If possible, use organic, locally sourced vegetables and meats.
  • Brown the meat before adding it to the stew: Browning the meat adds flavor and helps to thicken the stew.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful and nutritious the stew will be. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes.
  • Use a good quality broth or stock: The broth or stock is the base of the stew, so it's important to use a good one. If you have time, make your own broth or stock. Otherwise, use a low-sodium store-bought broth or stock.
  • Season the stew well: Stew is a great dish to experiment with different seasonings. Some good choices include salt, pepper, garlic, onion, paprika, and thyme.
  • Simmer the stew for at least 30 minutes: The longer you simmer the stew, the more flavorful it will be. However, don't overcook the stew, or the vegetables will become mushy.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread or crackers: Stew is a hearty and filling dish that's perfect for a cold winter day. Serve it with crusty bread or crackers for a complete meal.

Conclusion:

Camp stew is a delicious and versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a hearty weekend dinner. By following the tips above, you can make a camp stew that's sure to impress your family and friends.
