I just downloaded a book on my Kindle called "The Everything Soup, Stew, and Chili" Along with giving an interesting history on soup (and how it became stew) it has many recipes. So I thought I would ask members to share their favorite soup, stew or chili recipe.
I love Pasta Fagioli but will add chicken for Solar. Will dig it up and share. Solar makes a killer stew. (which I like to simmer on the wood stove in winter)

Which answers the question about the history of stew.
It was because the wife let the soup simmer too long on the wood-stove. :))
Not you honey, ours starts out as stew, but I would imagine thats how it came about...

I would say so as potatoes are starch when they break down over a long cooking time.
Soup beans with ham hocks simmering on the WoodBurner sounds good to me. ;D
I like to put a spoon full of horse radish in my bowl for a little kick.
I'll have to wait a couple days though as the better half has just finished a big pot of chile.

Our weather has been very unsettled. After that week of cold it has been quite mild again. Just this week I started using the oven again and the woodstove has only been used to take the chill off the main room in the morning..... Soon I can start making my soups.
As to the horseradish....(https://conservativepoliticalforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FUnhappy%2Fflame-010.gif&hash=af56a0e730dd42306f921a60c20bbf8a032d268b)

We do Crock pot soup now as we have no wood stove or fire place now.

I used to work with a guy like that, he would spread it on his sandwiches real thick.
With me a little goes a long way, but I do like the flavor of it.

When I can smell it across the room it is no longer for flavor. :))

Everything in moderation or so the saying goes.
I've never had it in tater salad before, sounds good.
I'll try it out on my Thanksgiving guests. >:D
Sorry about the key stroke above. :-[

Definitely moderation, and have someone else test it, I found that my taste buds tend to get calloused to its bite while taste testing.
In other words, the first test tastes weak, so I add more, but it still tastes about the same soooo, I add a lot more, and that seems about right.
But the next day I wonder what moron added so much damn horseradish to the tater salad. :o :))

Thank you for clarifying that.... Especially since I have a tendency to forget to season at all.. (https://conservativepoliticalforum.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FFood%2Fcooking-34.gif&hash=a85d8e0970d345180a9cba26e6452c65225da7b4)
