Granny's Brunswick Stew

Happy Monday! A dreary Monday, but a Monday no less. I made this stew yesterday because it was planned for Saturday but dad's birthday was Saturday so we ate out. This is an easy brunswick stew recipe straight from my granny. CAUTION this soup makes enough to feed an army so be prepared and use an extra larger pot. Be prepared to freeze and enjoy for weeks to come.

Brunswick Stew 

• 6-7 lb Stewing hen
• 7 Cups water 
• 6 Potatoes, peeled and diced
• 2 Cups corn
• 1 Large can shoe peg corn
• 2 Cups baby lima beans 
• 2 onions, chopped 
• 4 Cups stewed tomatoes 
• 3 Tbs sugar
• 5 Tsp salt
• 1 Tsp pepper 
• 2 Tbs butter 

Simmer chicken in water until cooked through, about 1.5 hours. Remove chicken from broth and let cool until cool enough to pull apart. Use 1 cup of the chicken broth to boil the potatoes, about 15-20 minutes and set aside. Add lima beans, onions, tomatoes, sugar, salt, and pepper to the chicken broth and simmer for 20 minutes. Add potatoes and corn and simmer for 45 minutes. Add the butter and stir. Serve and enjoy. 

 

This soup is perfect for a wet and dreary day. Hearty and full of flavor. A sure to be favorite for years to come. I hope you enjoy this dish as much as my family had for years.
