Booyah

Belgian-American festival stew from Wisconsin and Michigan. Chicken, beef, vegetables, simmered for hours. Community food meant for feeding a crowd. Weird name, incredible soup. This reminds me a lot of the Polish stew called Bigos that I fell in love with while living in Chicago.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs beef stew meat
  • 1 lb chicken thighs (bone-in)
  • 8 cups beef or chicken stock
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 2 potatoes, diced
  • 1/2 small cabbage, chopped
  • 1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large soup pot, combine all ingredients.
  2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  3. Remove chicken, shred meat, and return to pot. Discard bones and bay leaves.
  4. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
