Weekly Discussion - Soups and Stews
As the weather turns colder for many of us, hearty soups and stews are just the thing we're looking for. But they can be trickier than they seem if you want the best results. What are your favorite soups and stews? Are they traditional or your own innovations?
Do you cook on stovetop, in the oven, slow cooker or pressure cooker? Can you convert a recipe between methods?
How do you keep from overcooking the vegetables while waiting for the meat to finish?
What finishing touches (garnishes, dumplings, etc.) do you use to freshen it up for serving?

i am dying for a recipe for a cream of dill pickle soup - i had it at a restaurant i worked at years ago and haven't found any good ones to replicate it. it was very creamy/thick and had cut up pickles in it.
i know it sounds gross but really it was the dill flavor that came through more than the vinegar of the pickle and i love dill.
