I have a green chili stew recipe I love; one of my favorite foods.

• 2-3 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 or 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp cumin
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp oregano
• 2 to 3 lbs red or gold potatoes, cut into small chunks
• 3 large cans chopped green chilies
• 5 to 6 cups chicken broth
• 2 to 4 tsp canned chopped jalapeños
• 1 ½ to 2 lbs pork loin, cut into small chunks
• 1 to 1 ½ tsp salt, to taste
• Sour cream

Heat the oil in a 2 quart saucepan, add the onion and garlic, and cook, covered, over low heat for about 5 minutes so that the onion can wilt.

Uncover the pan, raise the heat to medium, and stir in the cumin and pepper.

Stir for 2 or 3 minutes, or until the onions start to show signs of browning, then add the chicken broth, oregano, salt, green chilies, jalapeños, & pork. Add potatoes until pot is full.

Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for at least 1 hour.

Remove from heat and let settle for 5 to 10 min.

Serve hot, add sour cream to servings per taste. Garnish with cilantro, avocado, tortilla chips, cracklins, etc.

Seaweed soup with beef.

Chicken 'n dumplings

Ham noodle soup with those extra thick home style noodles and the ham cooked so long it’s stringy

I was gifted a box of fancy dried mushrooms. I pressure cooked a few from each type with my regular beans. Its actually a great combination. Incredibly, mushrooms need more cooking time than beans.

Italian style chickpea or lentil soup is always great, you can make them almost the same too (just swap out the legumes)

Miso or Thai Tom Yum(?)

Potato stew! Potatoes, onions, carrots, celery, no blending or milk

Ok so I keep telling people if nothing else good comes from this shit year, 2025 was the year I learned to appreciate the value of a good home made soup. So, I am so excited to see this post!

I use vegetable better than bullion base, chop a big club of ginger in a food processor then add it to the base, add in 2-3 jalapenos, key lime juice, and Sriracha

While all that’s simmering, I sautee red onion, broccoli, and shrimp, then add all that to the soup and let it simmer together for a while. Sometimes I’ll add tofu. Usually eat that for a few days. It’s awesome especially when you’re sick.
