Brunswick Stew

Now that the chilly weather is here to stay, it’s time for more soups & stews to warm up the day.

Last week, I made Brunswick Stew. A bowl of this served with some garlic toast was just so comforting on a cold wet day!!

Recipe:
3/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery

2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp Tabasco

1 pkg (10 oz) frozen baby lima beans – thawed

• Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray.
• Add onion, celery and carrot to pan. Cook for 5 mins. Stir occasionally.
