How’s your weather out yonder? It is bitterly chilly and cold here in NC and other States. I imagine most family are cranking up their heaters while bundling up as the pot or crock-pot is simmering either a soup or stew for lunch or dinner. I for one would love to enjoy a hearty bowl of my Mother-in-Law’s Manhattan Clam Chowder or Denny’s new England Clam Chowder (served on Fridays) or Beef Peppery Soup(Nilaga) or Pork Sinigang or Hot & Sour Soup right this moment.

I have a few soup and stew recipes in the archives that could serve us well as we enjoy the cold weather. I’ve listed them all below for easy access. Just click on the highlighted text to go to each of the recipe itself. Enjoy, please keep warm, and drive safely!

Have A Bowl Of Beef Stew

Posted in  Beef Creations, Dinner, Entrees, Meat Dishes, Soups Or Stews No comments


A chilly night deserves a warm and hearty stew, no? Beef Stew is just one of those comforting and delicious stews to enjoy during this Fall and possibly early winter season. The best thing about it is it’s not really that complicated to make. The simmering part is basically the hardest part coz you have to wait for all the flavors of beef, potatoes, carrots, and seasonings to marry each other to make a hearty stew. All the waiting time will be worth it though so have a little patience to have a bowl of beef stew.

Ramen Noodles, 2 Ways

Ramen Noodles, they’ll satisfy you for a quick and easy lunch, or fill you up with all the fixings for a warm and cozy dinner. Last week, without hesitation, I had ramen noodles in 2 ways on separate days. First one was for a qucik pick-me-up lunch, then for a hearty dinner the following day. Both ways had the same component of eggs, cooked different ways as well. One meal was broth-less while the other was swimming in broth.

Pinto Beans & Pork Neck Bones Soup (Or Stew?)

Posted in  Dinner, Entrees, Meat Dishes, Pork Rules, Soups Or Stews No comments


I know it’s only Tuesday but this Pinto Beans & Pork Neck Bones Soup would be one of those crock-pot dishes you make during the weekends, starting it early in the morning, then serve to the whole family for dinner at night. On the weekends when all you want to do is hang out with the family and not bother too much with dinner. Or on the weekends when you have so much laundry to do that by the time you finish folding and putting away the 5th load of clothes, you just want to sit back in the couch, watch a movie or read a book.

So this soup is good for those times. Prepare it in the morning using your reliable crock-pot, and just leave the whole thing to cook for hours. Meanwhile, you get a nice home scent of home cooked meal that have been simmering all day long. Sounds good, no? I’m posting this now so you’ll have to grab what you need at the grocery store by Thursday or Friday.

As for the stew reference, I just threw it out there coz this soup has a slight thick consistency that others might say, it could pass for a stew. I refuse to call it a “stoup,” a term coined by Rachael Ray. That girl has a term for everything.

Leftover Chicken & Corabella Tortelloni Soup

Another best way to use up leftover chicken besides making a sandwich filling or adding into fried rice, is to make soup. And not just chicken soup with vegetable but a chicken and pasta soup using Corabella Tortelloni(classic four cheese) pasta. So delish and so filling that’s perfect for those rainy days or when you’re not felling well.

I cooked this soup for an hour and a half last Thursday. I really couldn’t think of what to make for dinner. It was 5pm, and my husband was due home in an hour and half, at least. I grabbed the pack of pork belly from the fridge and thawed it in the microwave….

The ham leftover was from the Christmas menu. The bone still had a lot meat on it and a few ham slices so I decided to throw them in a crock pot with potatoes and spices to make a hearty soup. Easy, time convenient and of course, delish soup for dinner on a cold night.

Lamb Neck Bones Stew With Red Wine

Posted in  Dinner, Entrees, Headline, Meat Dishes, Other Meat, Soups Or Stews No comments


I had a little bit of red wine left, then I remembered the lamb neck bones that I grabbed from the grocery store so I decided to make a stew out of them. When I bought the lamb neck bones I initially thought of cooking it as the Filipino sour soup dish called Sinigang but I’ve used my last packet of Knorr Sinigang mix with pork last week so I figured that combination would just have to wait some...
