Get Cozy With This Hearty Southern Brunswick Stew Recipe Soups Dinner Gluten-free Lunch Pork Chicken Recipes
When the temperature drops, there's nothing more cozy than to curl up with a piping hot bowl of stew – Brunswick stew, to be exact. Virginia and Georgia have a long-time feud over which state is the home of Brunswick stew. In Brunswick County, Va., there's an annual "stew-off," and in Brunswick, Ga., the state displays a cast-iron pot that apparently cooked the first batch of Brunswick stew in 1898. So what is all the fuss about? And what, exactly, is Brunswick stew?
Brunswick stew is a Southern stew recipe made with a tomato and barbecue broth, beans, corn and meat. Back in the day, it was made with squirrel, rabbit or game meat. This easy, gluten-free Brunswick stew recipe is made with pork, but you could use chicken instead, or a combination of both.
Serve this delicious soup recipe for dinner with warm and crusty bread then get cozy! The leftovers are great for lunch the next day.
