I received this recipe on a Christmas card from my sister who lives in Williamsburg, Virginia. Tried it and we just love it. (I did omit the okra, however.) Great dish on a cold winter day.

Categories     Chicken Soups

Time 3h

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 lb chicken
1 lb italian sausage, mild
2 large onions, chopped
2 c lima beans
4 c corn, cut from cob or 2 cans (1 lb each)
2 c okra, cut (optional)
3 medium potatoes, diced
4 c tomatoes, fresh or canned
1 tsp pepper
3 tsp salt
1 Tbsp sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Cut chicken in pieces and simmer in 3 quarts water for a thin stew, or 2 quarts for a thick stew, until meat can easily be removed from bones, about 2 1/4 hours. Add raw vegetables to broth and simmer, uncovered, until beans and potatoes are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
  • 2. Brown italian sausage in a skillet and drain any fat.
  • 3. Add chicken, boned and diced if desired, sausage, and the seasonings to the broth. Let simmer at least 45 minutes.
  • 4. Note: If canned vegetables are used, include juices and reduce water to 2 quarts for a thin stew, 1 quart for a thick stew.
  • 5. Also Note: Brunswick stew is one of those delectable meals that benefit from long, slow cooking. It is a rule in some Tidewater homes never to eat Brunswick stew the same day it is made, as its flavor improves if it is left to stand overnight and served reheated.

This stew is a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more seasoning.

I followed the recipe exactly and the stew turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more spice.
