The cold season has descended upon us once again, and the season of the stew has begun.
I got a chili going that smells so good, the Vestal Virgins would be dropping their Underpantus. How many other folks have been looking at the freezer and thinking " yeah that would be good tonight, but man that will make an epic stew" for the last couple weeks?
Well tonight for me the stew week was here.
Yum.

We’ve already had the first batch of the Fall: a very nice beef stew with potatoes, turnips, parsnips, carrots, red wine and mushrooms. Once as a meal unto itself, and once over rice. There is still a container of it in the freezer for some night we don’t feel like cooking. My next project is likely a pot of chili verde to use up the last of the garden-fresh peppers.

Today I’m going to toy with a white bean soup; not quite a stew, but considering it’s, um, 70 degrees out, it’ll do.

What a coincidence; I just made chili yesterday. As a nitpick, though,

The word you’re looking for here is “sub ubi”.

Stew are great. One pot (maybe two, if you serve it over rice or noodles), and you get as many meals as you feel comfortable making. Even the noodles and rice can be reheated. Any meat + broth + spices + wine + onions + mushrooms + … Can’t go wrong.

My go-to stews during the fall/winter are Hungarian goulash (_pörkölt_, with homemade _galuska_ (spaetzle/egg noodles) and a Swedish beef stew called _kalops_.
[This is the recipe](http://www.lthforum.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=15040) I use for kalops.
And [this is my recipe](http://www.lthforum.com/bb/viewtopic.php?p=176835) and method for the goulash with homemade noodles.

I am so saving those; thank you!
My problem is I cannot make a small amount of soup/stew. Just can’t. I’ve even tried using smaller pots, to no avail.
I _really_ need a deep freeze. 😛

Made chicken and dumplings last night (for the first time). It was fantastic.

Coming soon to a kitchen near me: beef bourguignon a la Julia Child, the ultimate stew.

And surprisingly easy to make.
The beer belgian version is good also, and I normally hate beer as a beverage.

I made [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=12912760&postcount=7) pumpkin soup last night and I’m thinking about adding some sweet potatoes and beef to turn it into a stew.

I stumbled onto a recipe for Argentinian [beef stew](http://laylita.com/recipes/2008/10/13/seco-de-carne-or-beef-stew/)with tamarinds back when I was looking for instructions on dealing with fresh in-shell tamarinds, and we’ve been eyeballing the packet of tamarinds in our pantry now that the weather is slowly starting to cool off. Cilantro haters should back slowly away from this post. Everyone else needs to grab a couple of bunches, a bottle of beer, some hunks of tough, cheap beef, and fire 'em up with tamarinds. Deliciousness awaits.

Yeah, unfortunately. 😛_I_ don’t mind eating it for days, as a quick nukeable when I get home and don’t feel like making anything, but my sweetie doesn’t care for soup much at all, my family lives too far away, and anyone close by can’t comprehend soup that isn’t posole or menudo. 😛
The problem may or may not stem from a year’s worth of making 15-20 gallons of soup every night for a restaurant that then send it out in batches to satellite restaurants. Hrm, I wonder… 😛

You don’t have a freezer? I mean, even just one as part of the fridge? That’s hard to imagine.
To the OP: I flagged your OP and asked a mod to correct the title.

I’ve now got pork green chili, tortilla soup, and an awesome chili con carne socked away in the stand-up freezer. For Christmas last year, I received the ultimate inspiration for stews: [Big Red](http://www.cookware.com/Le-Creuset-L2502-4067-LEC1067.html) (15.5 qt dutch oven).
Mr. Alpine is off to stalk the mighty Rocky Mountain Elk tomorrow, so I’ve got to skip a couple of stew-making Sundays and make some room in the freezer. I think the new con carne recipe will by dynamite with elk.

I saw the picture and my mouth started watering so tomorrow I’m going to make this: [http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/03/dining/03appe.html?ref=dining](http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/03/dining/03appe.html?ref=dining)
Contrary to what this article says though, I’m using a can of beans rather than soaking dried ones. Hey, it’s what I’ve got on hand.
