What's Your Go To Soup or Stew for Fall?

With Fall around corner I was looking for a few great soup, corn chowder or stew recipes that you could possibly make as a "1 Pot" cook on my LBGE with a bit of smoke. Of course great chili stands alone, but I think a nice smoky corn chowder will be my first this fall. 

What's in your egg?

    Green Chile Stew.  I buy a freshly-roasted bushel and freeze it every August, but you can roast just a few pods from the grocery or, if you have to, use canned.  
    1 lb sweet italian sausage (you could use egged pork butt, too)
    2 yellow onions, diced
    3 cloves garlic, crushed
    28-oz can of tomatoes or use fresh if available
    1 box chicken broth
    2 or 3 Yukon Gold potatoes, diced
    Salt & pecker to taste
    1/2 tsp cumin
    5-6 green chiles, roasted, peeled and diced
     
    Just saute the onions in some oil, add/crumble/fry the sausage, add the garlic for 1 minute, then the tomatoes, crushing them with your favorite mashing device. Let cook in the egg for an hour or two.
    Add the spuds, seasonings, and chiles, and cook for another hour or so.  I could live on this stuff!

    1 Bay leaf

    1 10 oz. pkg Corn, frozen

    1 tablespoon Cilantro, chopped

    Cheese, Parmesan, for garnish

    1 bag Tostada chips

    I agree Hap, a good beef stew can warm the soul on a cold winters night. And with a Guinness in hand and the stew what else is needed.

    Old fashioned chicken noodle, which then is converted into Italian Wedding Soup the next day. Looking forward to doing Julia's Boeuf Bourguignon on the Egg this fall.

    My Mom made something similar. Instead of potatoes, she used uncooked rice.

    Here's the recipe

    Guinness Beef Stew

    by Edward Harding

    Ingredients

    • 2lbs stew meat
    • 2lbs little red potatoes
    • 1 large onion chopped
    • 1/2 a bag of the baby carrots (cut them in half)
    • 1 cup of flour
    • ? of your favorite rub
    • canola oil
    • 1-1/3 cup of beef broth
    • 1 can of Guinness (may add more if additional liquid is needed)
    • 1 packet of McCormick's Beef Stew Seasoning
    • 1 can of peas
    • 1 heaping tablespoon of minced garlic
    • Salt & Fresh Ground Pepper to taste
    • Heat the DO direct over a 350 - 400 dome temp fire... I use Wicked Good Weekend Warrior with 3 chunks of Mesquite.
    • In a freezer bag, combine the flour and as much rub of your choice to taste.Add the meat and shake to thoroughly coat the beef.
    • Once coated, heat some oil in the DO and brown the meat... stirring a couple of times. When pretty browned, remove beef and add some more oil.
    • Add the onions and carrots to the pan along with a tablespoon of minced garlic. Stir occasionally and when the vegs are tender, add the seasoning packet and broth. Stir it around and be sure to loosen any stuck on goodness...
    • Add the beef back to the DO and place the potatoes in as well and stir to mix and coat everything.
    • Add the can of Guinness...
    • Let it simmer, stirring occasionally for about 1-1/4 hours with the top off. Once the potatoes are tender; add the peas and stir it to mix and let it cook for another 15 mins, season to taste with salt (kosher) and ground black pepper, and then pull it off and serve....

  • @eggcelsior, what is your pozole soup recipe? I really want to make that this fall

    One of the reasons I love fall is bringing soups, braises and hearty pasta sauce back into meal rotation. I'm really looking forward to braising on the egg, pot roast, beef burgundy, coq au vin, etc.

    As far as soups I'll do chili, a veggie chili using bulger wheat to add texture, farro and white bean, a beef and Guinness stew (different from Hap's, it's more like a French onion with Guinness), corn chowder, matzo ball, chicken and rice.

  • There are no oysters in Lake Huron, fortunately Freddie is on Lake Michigan which is loaded with them. Technically they are one lake but the oysters like the south side.

    Frederick lives in Flint, MI.  Look at the map.  You act like you think the Great Lakes are in Canada.  Hah !

    First thing I do when the weather turns cool is to get out the stock pot. Just pulled my summer's accumulation of bones from the freezer. Most are poultry bones, so there will be some chicken and rice soup in the next few days.

    As the weather gets colder, I start making Scotch broth, Hungarian goulash, and a Yiddish stew called Uman beef, which features beef, whole cranberry sauce, walnuts and soy sauce. Seemed like an odd mix to me, but the first time I made it was for my FIL, who loved cranberries, it turned out really well, and has become a winter standard.

    I use Pati Jinich's recipe from Pati's Mexican Table. It's Pozole Rojo. She also does a Pozole Verde that is on her website.

    The Rojo version is on Google books, pages 84-86.
