Comforting Soup & Stew Recipes

On a cold, drizzly day, there’s nothing more comforting than a homemade soup or stew.

Coming from a family of anglers and hunters, I’ve learned to celebrate their returns by creating unique recipes in their honor; soups and stews are often a crowd pleaser. I also find great pleasure in cooking some of my family’s cabin standards. Grandmothers are good for magically turning those into cabin traditions and making them taste ever so good! The recipes here are equally delicious with wild game or store-bought ingredients.

Aunt Pat’s Veggie-Fish Chowder
This recipe is a nod to my work as a fishing guide. The meal doesn’t call for a lot of fish. So, it’s a great recipe if you happen to catch a small amount that isn’t enough for a fish fry. It’s my hope that generations from now, my great-great niece and nephews will still be making my (Aunt Pat’s) veggie-fish chowder.
