Buff's Totally Awesome Chicken Stew!

[moolie]

A similar soup that I've made before with leftover chicken and home made broth:

Chicken Bacon Corn Chowder

1/4 lb bacon, cooked, drained and diced
1 onion, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
3-4 potatoes, cubed
1 quart chicken stock
1 cup frozen corn (could use canned I guess)
1 cup heavy cream or one can evaporated milk (not the sweetened condensed kind)
Rosemary, salt & pepper to taste

Recipe can be doubled (because it will go fast! )

that sounds great!!! I will have to make that!

You can put carrots and green beans in it too, I just make it according to whatever I have

It sounds good, you can't go wrong with a good soup or stew....

Sounds delish!

For anyone who, like us, doesn't buy canned soup--you can substitute a homemade version :

Cream of Chicken Condensed Soup Recipe

Grind: 4 T of any white bean (lima, navy, etc.) to make 5 T bean flour
Combine: 5 T bean flour, 1 c. water , 4 t chicken bouillon into a saucepan
Cook: On stovetop at medium temperature until thick and delicious (whisk frequently).The soup should cook in 3 minutes! (this may be longer if your grinder makes a very coarse flour).

Use this with cooked veggies and or meat for a complete meal. You can also add this to recipes calling for cream of chicken soup cans (I have found this replaces a can plus the water or milk in recipes).

We use organic chicken bouillon granules from the natural foods store

I've got a goofy question - are the beans 'raw', or cooked then dried? Which way would make them easier to grind?

Just the dried beans from the bag

Grinding beans into flour works great in breads/baking as well as a thickener in soups or stews. I have a recipe somewhere for a focaccia bread that uses canned or cooked beans, but most recipes use ground dry bean flour.

Interesting, I'd never thought it

Thanks Moolie! I'm jotting down these recipe's and will defitely be 'sneaking in' some bean flour into my bread - DS won't touch them, but he loves bread

Here's the recipe for the Bean Bread Foccacia--it's great with pasta, anything bbq'd, stews and soups--you can vary the flavour by adding herbs to the dough
