Creamy White Bean and Green Chile Soup

One lazy weekend afternoon right after Christmas, in the midst of taking down the tree and lots of cleaning, I threw this fast and easy soup together to feed our little family fast with minimal dishes and effort involved. Garnish with cheese or chopped onions. We got out a few chips to dip in it also. It was a hit!

The word “stew” can refer to 2 time a dish and a make dishes method. Stewing involves slowly cooking chunks of meat, vegetables or beans in a flavorful liquid . It’s similar to braising, instead it does have a few notable differences. The raw animal vested is chopped into few of pieces instead of being processing menu all of it , and the water based material completely covers the contents in a stew as different to a braise’s halfway full . When meat or vegetables are cooked using this method, the resulting dish is called stew.

Stew has a perception for making a rib-sticking meal that comfortable you up on a freezing , winter day. It’s true ; a bowl of classic beef stew can make warming properties , but stew’s comfort factor more than a way beyond protecting you from the chill . It’s all about those tender chunks of meat and vegetables, swimming in a thick, ultra-rich gravy. The way they come together creates the greatest comfort food, no matter the weather.
