Soups-&-stews recipes

This recipe reminds me a Japanese style soup because of kombu (kelp or seaweed). It's a nice change from my normal chicken broth and cream based squash soup. This one has a much cleaner taste, and really highlights the flavor of each ingredient.

Takes about 45 min. to make, plus another 12 - 15 minutes to finish cooking. Makes a very chunky, hearty stew. Adding more water will make it a soup.

Spice up your beef with this succulent dish that can be made, courtesy of your crockpot.

Just enough spiciness without over powering my palate, and the soup was very tasty.

Super Black Bean Soup recipe

In Japan, miso soup is a traditional breakfast food–sipped hot, directly from the bowl. It is incredibly simple to prepare and can be put together in roughly the same amount of time it takes to brew a cup of tea. You can transfer the soup to a wide-neck thermos and take it to work for a nourishing mid-morning break as well. Miso has numerous health benefits, but is especially renowned for its probiotics properties, which help balance intestinal flora. It also contains good amounts of vitamin B12.
