I need a good yummy tasting Beef Stew or Beef Veggie Soup Recipe. I have all the meat and veggies but it is just getting the right spices for that down home homemade taste. Does anyone have a tasty recipe to share with me. Hubby has Bronchitis so I thought a homemade Stew or Soup would help him to feel better.
Thank you.
Farmgirl Hugs,
Deb

season salt, onions, garlic, pepper, chili peppers, and remember that stews and soups are always better the next day after all has sat and blended

Alright it is finished and simmering on the stove and smells so yummy. Tina I know it will taste so much better tomorrow but I doubt hubby will wait until then:-) I will let it simmer until supper time so hopefully it will taste great.
Thanks for your help and imput farmgirls.

I made cherry dump cake. Very easy.
For 9by13 pan
2 cans cherry pie filling
2 cans crushed pineapple
1 box yellow cake
1 stick of butter
Dump in pie filling and pineapple. Top with dry cake mix. Cut butter in pats and lay on top. Bake on 350 for 30 to 40 minutes or until top is golden brown. Serve and enjoy.

I really don't have a recipe, per se, but I do this:
dredge my stew meat in highly seasoned flour (a little seasoning salt and fresh cracked black pepper), brown in either Olive or Grapeseed oil (or whatever you have handy).
Remove stew meat and place on plate. Add chopped onions, 3-4 cloves pressed garlic, and sautee in oil and brown bits from meat. Add chopped peeled carrots, potatoes (I like a starchy yellow potato), celery if you like it, a tblsp of tomato paste, 1 tlbsp. worcestshire and about a tsp. of dried marjoram. Add meat back in, along with fresh rosemary and fresh thyme, then fill with beef stock until just over meat. You may, if you wish, add a bit of red wine, as well, about 1/2 cup. Simmer and adjust seasoning (s and p) as you go.

Ruthie Ann, thanks for the dump cake recipe sounds yummy and so easy, I will try it. I think when I was a young bride back in the olden days I use to make this cake, but it has been many, many years.
Jonni, I did not think about the Worcestshire Sauce, I just added some to my stew, thanks so much for you recipe, I have written it down to try next time.
Farmgirl Hugs,
Deb

Debbie, I use Worcestshire a lot. It add a depth of flavor, along with a salt content because of the anchovies in the sauce. It's one of my most utilized condiments! Like I said, I don't have a recipe, but this is pretty standard in our house (and I haven't had complaints, yet ;))

Also, the beef veggie soup that makes my husband the most happy is the one I make with ground chuck.
Brown your ground chuck with chopped onion and pressed garlic. Drain if necessary. Add (fresh) potatoes, carrots and snapped green beans to browned meat in pot. Add a can of tomatoes, add tomaote paste, worcestshire and beef stock. Let simmer, adjusting seasoning as you go--salt and pepper is about all this one needs. As the soup thickens, add frozen peas and corn and even lima beans if you've got them. Simmer until tender with lid on, and tomato flavor deepens. Also freezes well!

Gee, now I am hungary for soup! These are things I add to my homemade soup; a lot of parsley, a lot of onion tops, beef broth, okra, all kinds of veggies, beef cubes, tobasco sauce, and I season it only with Tony Chachere's (sash-er-ees) Seasoning; a Louisiana product. And- like several of the girls said, I let it simmer for about ten hours. I usually start the soup at night. It'll cook all night and the seasoning will just be that much better.

Here is my mom's recipe for beef stew. I have no idea where she got it from. Probably out of a cookbook, but I don't know which one. She's been making it for as long as I can remember. It's one of the recipes she included in my "How Do You Make..?" cookbook, which is a small blue binder full of loose-leaf notebook paper with recipes. She sent it to me when I was in college because I kept calling her at odd hours (Alaska was 3 hours behind Arizona, so when I had a question while cooking dinner at say, 7pm, it was 10pm where she was) and asking her how to cook things, or if I could have the recipe for such-and-such a dish.
Old Fashioned Beef Stew
-----------------------------
1 lb beef stew meat cut in 1" cubes
1 Tbs oil
3 cups boiling water
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic
1 medium onion, sliced
1 bay leaf
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp pepper
Dash allspice or cloves
2-3 carrots, sliced
1-2 stalks celery, sliced
2 medium potatoes
Thoroughly brown meat on all sides in hot oil, turning often. Add boiling water, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, sliced onion, bay leaf and seasonings. cover. Simmer for 2-3 hrs, stirring occasionally to keep from sticking.
Add carrots, celery and potatoes. Cover and cook 30 min more or until vegetables are done.
In 1 cup liquid measure, measure 1/4 cup cornstarch* and to this add *cold* water to make 1 cup. Stir cornstarch into water until a smooth sauce is formed. Stir into boiling stew. (This thickens the stew so you will have stew & not soup!) continue cooking for 5 min. more and serve.
*if you need to avoid corn, you can substitute arrowroot powder 1:1 for corn starch (according to the note I made in the margin) However, arrowroot has a slightly peppery taste, so if you do, you might want to use less pepper. Tapioca flour can also be substituted for the corn starch at approx. 1T (and less cold water). (again according to my notes in the margin). This may require some trial and error, so just experiment with different things in different amounts until it comes out exactly the way you want it, then write down what you did and do it that way from then on.
The note about the thickening power of cornstarch is from my mom, and written in the margin with a little arrow indicating the point it is commenting on. :-)
I usually end up making a double recipe in order to feed 4 hungry young and old men plus myself, with maybe a little leftover for lunch the next day. YMMV depending on how many people you're feeding, and how much they eat.
