I loved the comment where someone called herself a "soupaholic". That's a new term and I think I am one, too.
This week I used a SP recipe for "Crockpot Beef and Barley Soup" which was delicious! I made it using my own broth so it would be low sodium. The recipe states it serves 4 when it would easily make 8 to 10 generous servings. Try it, too! - 1/15/2011   10:08:47 PM

YAY! I am a card carrying soupaholic! Can't wait to try every recipe! - 1/14/2011   3:53:42 AM

I LOVE the African Peanut Sweet Potato Stew! So healthy, so yummy! It is in my favorites for stews! - 1/13/2011   6:13:45 AM

Stews and soups are my favorite foods. - 1/12/2011   7:04:08 PM

Chili without the red sauce, yay no heart burn for me... - 1/12/2011   11:43:16 AM

Mmmm. Saving this to my favs. - 1/12/2011   11:27:47 AM

I saved to favorites and hope to try them one by one! Gives me something to look forward to......yum. - 1/12/2011   10:50:04 AM

My favorite "stew" is either chicken paprikash, or boeuf bourgiononne (or however it's spelled!) - 1/12/2011   10:33:27 AM

I think I will try the Cajun Chichen Fricot w/dumplings. Sounds just right for my tast buds! - 1/12/2011   10:07:25 AM

I will be trying the low sodium vegtable beef stew recipe soon, it sounds very good. Since I am watching my blood pressure the low soium is good for me.And my husband can add salt if he would like. Thanks for the great recipes SPARKS has supplied to me. - 1/12/2011   9:44:55 AM

The Lentil stew sounds good and easy. - 1/12/2011   6:37:06 AM

The pulled chicken and the Lentil and the Green Chili all sound great.... - 1/12/2011   5:13:56 AM

They sound good, but I hate to cook. - 1/12/2011   1:03:40 AM

The low sodium veg. beef stew sounds wonderful. I will need to make it soon to fight the snow that does not want to leave north AL. - 1/11/2011   11:20:11 PM

I think they all sound delicious. - 1/11/2011   5:25:55 PM

The Chicken Stew sounds delicious and I'll definitely be trying that one!! - 1/11/2011   3:58:58 PM

the chicken stew sounds so yummy i want some now - 1/11/2011   3:20:19 PM

I´ll make the carribean pulled chicken stew and the african peanut sweet potato stew, they sound absolutely delicious! I´m just hoping I´ll find some sweet potatoes here in Austria... :) - 1/11/2011   2:58:21 PM

I thought I'd try the eggplant stew but it has flounder and I'm just not in the mood to try a stew with eggplant and fish. I will try to find another stew with eggplant sans fish.

I thought I'd try the Caribbean pulled chicken stew but it has coconut milk. Now, I used coconut milk in a chicken marsala recipe on SP and I didn't need the whole can so I wasted the rest because I didn't use it in time.
I suppose if I open a can of coconut milk I need to plan recipes so I can use the whole can so none goes to waste.

I usually just make regular beef stew with vegetables like carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, and onion. - 1/11/2011   2:37:43 PM

ah, thanks! I get stuck sometimes and forget what I already know...just need to tweat for dieting a tiny bit...looks great, gonna go home and make tonite! happy dieting! - 1/11/2011   1:40:45 PM

They sound really good! I will cook them for me and eat for my lunch lunches. - 1/11/2011   12:21:13 PM

The directions for the green chili stew look good, but then again, they all do! - 1/11/2011   12:15:55 PM

I see two recipes I might try. I like to cook. - 1/11/2011   11:53:47 AM

They all sound yummy but I am going to try the vegetarian stew and the African Peanut stew. Have to get a few ingredients first on my next shopping trip.
Thank you! - 1/11/2011   11:38:44 AM

Carribean pulled chicken stew. We love pulled pork stew so this should work just as well but less expensive. Pat in Maine. - 1/11/2011   11:33:23 AM

Love having a variety of soups and stews to make. Yummy! - 1/11/2011   11:19:22 AM

What stew is in the pic? that one looks good. - 1/11/2011   10:38:48 AM

Yummy! I once made an African peanut soup, many years ago, and it was so good and spicy. Can't wait to try it again. - 1/11/2011   10:18:19 AM
