chopsaw I never thought to use big plops of spaetlze as dumplings. That’s a great idea. Thanks.

You need to change that .
I smoke a lot of whole birds . So this time of year means a second meal of chicken and dumplings or white chicken chili . Boil down the carcass and pick the meat . De-fat the broth .

I use my Spaetzle recipe for the dumplings .
1 cup flour
1/4 cup milk
2 eggs
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp salt
Mix together and use a spoon to drop into hot soup .
I use a couple different store bought mixes for the chili .
This is a good one .

Not sure i want anything to do with oyster and crap stew! You type like me lol! But speaking of goulash...I made some while I was divorced, wanted it thick, mother in law always made it with half juice I swear, turned out perfectly...fork stood straight up in it. Got back together with wife and remarried...she called it slump...but was still good!

Well it's fixed now professor
I'll eat anything....once lol.
So I'll definitely try your slump!

Not sure what to call this soup other than the easiest soup ever.

1 lb ground turkey (sausage also works)
1 box of your favorite chicken broth
4-6 cans of white beans
1 container of green salsa from the fridge section

Brown the turkey (or sausage). Dump in the rest of the ingredients and heat. I never drain the beans as it thickens the soup a bit. It’s so crazy simple and fast and it’s really delicious.

My go to's are Vegetable Beef Soup and American Goulash.

I make veggie soup by memory and eyeball and hunger measurements. Kent Rollins has a good goulash recipe on YouTube.

Here's another one that makes a nice change of pace.

I cheat making beef vegetable soup when in a rush, frozen gumbo bag of vegies frozen cubed hashbrowns chicken stock, add a can of chipotle tomatoes, brown meat or smoke it if you have a little time add rest of ingredients and simmer tile taters are done. I like some cheese on it and some crusty bread. I don't drain the tomatoes but you can .

We like most hot stews and chilies
But like others said soup/stew with dumplings
This is what we really love to have , I posted back in October on a cold few days

Smoked Chicken Stew with Dough Boys ( Dumplings )

Smoked Chicken Stew with Dough Boys ( Dumplings ) We like our stew with a thicker juice almost like a gravy. Have not had dough boys sense I was a boy and Mom would make them for us. It was a real treat back than. And is today also. So I smoked some thighs at 330/345 deg. with Mesquite...

That sounds really good .

Italian Wedding Soup

Yesterday, I made some Italian Wedding Soup with homemade meatballs to eat for dinners this week. I knew it was going to be a pretty dreary couple of days, so soup sounded perfect. I was pleased with how the meatballs came out. These are almost up there with my Gram's meatballs. I'll never make...

This sounds pretty good to me. Anything with green salsa is going to be good in my book! And simple! I like that for busy weeknights! Thanks for sharing!!

Yep, thats the way i do it too. Fozen veggies and potatoes and I'll use my homemade "V8" thats canned from the garden along with home canned stewed tomatoes.. And even just ground beef if I want to make it really simple.

My wife's family has a ton simple recipes like this they are all winners but usually need a thing or 2 to be perfect. I'd probably add an onion and some cumin to that. Thanks for sharing! Can you elaborate on the green salsa? Not sure we have that here.

I just bookmarked Rich's spaetzle but one cool hack I learned is store bought gnocci also works well as a sub.

My suggestions: mulligatawny, chicken paprikash, and frittata.
