AUTUMN ESSENTIALS: RUSTIC CHICKEN SOUP/STEW
When the nights begin getting longer, and the temperature begins to drop, a good hearty soup or stew is the outright quintessential comfort food... I can't image the Autumn/Winter season without soup and stews on my weekly menu rotation. And on my list of the top-ten recipes, this one emerges pretty close to the...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. Gather your ingredients.
- 3. Melt the butter in a saucepan, over medium heat.
- 4. When the foaming subsides, add the wine, lemon juice and 1/2 cup of chicken stock.
- 5. Chef's Note: This is a standard base for many hearty soups and stews. If you don't want to use the white wine, you can always substitute an equal amount of white grape juice.
- 6. Bring to a simmer, and allow the liquid to slowly reduce by half, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- 7. Mix in the cream.
- 8. Add the remainder of the chicken stock.
- 9. Chef's Note: If you are using store-bought chicken stock, or (heaven forbid) broth. Then, when you season the soup watch the salt.
- 10. Add the flour and water to a small bowl, and whisk together.
- 11. Add to the pot, and simmer until it begins to thicken, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- 12. Add the carrots, and continue to simmer for 10 - 12 minutes.
- 13. Add the onions, celery, , and then bring the pot back up to a simmer.
- 14. Continue to simmer for 10 to 12 minutes.
- 15. Add the chicken, and then let it warm up with the soup, about 5 minutes.
- 16. Chef's Note: Although I am a big fan of brining chicken breasts, for this recipe, don't. It isn't necessary, and it will add unwanted additional salt.
- 17. Chef's Tip: If you want to add an additional level of flavor to this dish, then salt & pepper the chicken breasts, and sauté them in a bit of olive oil and sweet butter. When they are cooked, tear them into rustic pieces, and pour the liquid from the sauté pan into the pot, when you add the chicken stock in step 8.
- 18. VARIATIONS ON A THEME
- 19. Dumplings: After you add the chicken, drop your dumplings on the top of the soup, cover, and allow to slowly simmer, for 10 to 12 minutes. Here's an excellent dumplings recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/bread/other-bread/autumn-essentials-herb-cheddar-dumplings.html
- 20. Pasta: Get you favorite egg noodles and stir into the soup. Follow package directions as to how long the noodles need to cook. If you are using homemade egg noodles (YUM) they will only need about 3 to 5 minutes in the liquid before they are cooked. Here's an excellent egg noodle recipe: https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/pasta/master-recipe-egg-noodle-dough.html?p=4
- 21. Chef's Note: If you don't want to make your own dumplings, or pasta, no worries. Just pick up your favorite brand at the local grocer. However, if you take the time to make homemade (it really isn't that difficult), you will be glad that you did.
- 22. PLATE/PRESENT

AUTUMN BEEF STEW
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut ends of garlic bulbs to expose cloves. Drizzle with EVOO, season with salt and pepper, wrap in foil and roast to tender, 40-45 minutes. Remove garlic and reduce heat to 350°F. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of EVOO and bacon. Brown and crisp bacon then remove and reserve. Pour off some of the fat out of the pan and add a couple of tablespoons butter. Pat meat dry and season liberally with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour and add to hot pot in batches. Cook to crispy and deep brown. Add more butter as needed, 2 tablespoons at a time. Reserve browned meat with the bacon. Add carrot, apple, celery, onion, bay, salt and pepper to the pot and partially cover. Cook to soften vegetables for a few minutes then sprinkle with 2 tablespoons flour. Stir a minute then add cider, consommé, the roasted garlic cloves and stir to combine. Add reserved beef and bacon back to pan, bring to a boil then cover and transfer to oven. Braise meat for 2 hours, until very tender and the sauce has thickened. Let stand 20 minutes while you cook potatoes. Boil potatoes and parsnips in salted water until tender. Drain and return to hot pot; mash with 2 tablespoons butter, cheese and milk. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg; stir in chives. Alternatively, chop potatoes, rub with olive oil and seasoning, then bake potatoes in oven for 20 mins. May use combo of sweet potatoes and regular potatoes. Serve stew in shallow bowls with potatoes alongside.

Tips:
- Choose hearty and flavorful ingredients: Use a variety of vegetables that will hold their shape during cooking, such as potatoes, carrots, parsnips, and turnips. Adding some protein, such as beef, chicken, or sausage, will also give your stew a boost of flavor.
- Brown your meat before adding it to the stew: This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming dry. If you are using ground meat, brown it in a skillet over medium heat until it is no longer pink.
- Use a variety of spices and herbs: Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Try adding a teaspoon of ground cumin, coriander, or paprika to your stew. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
- Simmer your stew for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to become tender. If you are using tougher cuts of meat, you may need to simmer the stew for longer.
- Serve your stew with a side of bread or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce. You can also top your stew with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt for an extra creamy finish.
Conclusion:
Autumn stew is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a cold fall evening. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables and meat. Experiment with different ingredients and spices to find your perfect autumn stew recipe. This versatile dish can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve it with a side of bread or rice and enjoy a delicious and comforting meal.
