Question: What's your favorite soup/stew!?
What's your favorite soup or stew that doesn't take more than an hour or so to make!? Any ingredients except for fish or oysters!. Chowders are also a no-go!. Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Chili, chicken noodle and chicken tortilla!.!.!. I LOVE beef stew, but I don't know of any stew that can be done in less than an hour!.

For the easiest chili, brown ground beef (or chunks of beef) in a little oil!. Add broth and seasoning packet (I know, it's a big cheat, but it's SO easy!.!.!. Buy it from Ralphs) and simmer for a while!. Serve w/ cornbread, grated cheese and chopped onions!.
