In Less Than 30 Minutes, You Could Be Stuffing Your Face With This Mouth-Watering Meal

When it comes to weeknight meals, the quicker and easier I can make them, the better. With all the hassle going on in our lives; school, work, hobbies and voluntary work, there’s no way I can stand by the stove for two hours every single day of the week.

Don’t get me wrong – I enjoy cooking a hearty meal for my family, but it’s just not a very realistic idea to try and do something like that every weeknight! Weekends are a whole different deal. That’s when we all gather together to cook and eat, and I don’t care how much time I spend in the kitchen then.

But on weeknights I enjoy recipes like this one here! A delicious, savory chowder with basic ingredients you can almost always find in your pantry. In half an hour you’ll be serving your family this wonderful comfort food, and you can only dream of having leftovers!

A Weeknight Meal Or A Special Occasion – You’ll Want To Have This Every Day Of The Week

Want to hear something funny? Until about two months ago, I had never even heard of cassoulet. If it doesn’t ring a bell for you, either, no need to worry. It’s only the best freakin’ meal ever! I am not kidding, it really is fabulous. I’m forever grateful to my friend for letting me know this awesome dish exists!

A cassoulet is a traditional French dish that contains beans and at least one kind of meat. You won’t be able to make it in 30 minutes, so if you’re looking for a super fast meal, you may want to save this recipe for later. But I guarantee; when you make this, it’s a meal you’ll never forget!

This recipe has quickly become my favorite. I’ve already made it twice; once for my family and another time for friends that were staying overnight. Everyone loved it!

This Famous Soup Is To-Die-For-Delicious!

You’d better be prepared for an explosion of a recipe because that’s exactly what I’m going to serve you! Mulligatawny soup has a funny name for someone who’s never heard of it before, but for those of us who have loved it for decades, it’s music to our ears. It is an English soup with origins in Indian cuisine, and that’s why it’s filled with all these wonderful spices that will warm you up on a cold winter or fall day.

But that doesn’t mean this soup is only good for the colder seasons. Oh, not at all! My family is so in love with this soup that we have this at least once a month, year ’round. And whenever I happen to catch a cold, I make this and amp up the spices even more. It makes me feel better instantly!

Feel free to make half a batch if you think 12 servings is too much for you, and you don’t want to freeze the extra. Also, if you’d like to make this more stew-like, all you need to do is use less chicken broth. Whatever your choice, it’s going to turn out super flavorful and amazing!

Fill Your Belly With These Fantastic Flavors!

What I’m going to show you today is one of the yummiest soups I have ever made in my whole life! Trust me; I’ve tried quite a bunch of them, so I know what I’m talking about. At this time of year I basically just ditch all the salads and grilled meals and go for steaming hot bowls of happiness. And they sure make me happy!

When you can get such a delicious meal, with very little effort, it makes you want to cook the same recipe over and over again. And that’s basically what I’ve been doing these past couple of weeks! This soup is not just really yummy – it’s also pretty lean, so you don’t need to worry about your calorie intake.

With a few little tweaks you can make it taste brand new every time! Add a little bit of tomato paste, or use sausage instead of ham and no-one in your family will even realize you’ve been using the same recipe all along! Serve with homemade biscuits or dinner rolls and you’ll get a hearty meal your whole family loves.

Could I Please Have This For Every Meal, For The Rest Of The Year?

Before we get started, I have to say that I’ve never been to Louisiana. It’s one of those places I’ve always dreamed of going, but for one reason or another it hasn’t happened yet. I have plenty of friends, though, who’ve been there more than once – and they all tell me the food is amazing. I bet it really is! And I always try to find recipes that would take me there (without even leaving my kitchen).

Hopefully some day soon I’ll be able to visit Louisiana and enjoy those wonderful meals! Until then, this is one of my favorite recipes that I believe has a very authentic flavor. The key thing is to use good quality seafood!

Some people tell me a good gumbo should be so spicy that your lips are on fire – others say that you’re not supposed to make gumbo too hot and spicy. I’m not sure if there’s a right or wrong but I prefer mine with a little bit of kick! With this recipe, that’s totally up to you.

I was a good child. No, I am not kidding! I really was. At least when it came to food. I wasn’t a picky eater. Between my brother and me, it was easier to feed me. I was the one who always ate what she was told to eat regardless of my preference. When I requested for chicken and there was fish on the table, I ate it. That’s why I can say that I truly love vegetables. It’s an acquired taste, but yeah, I managed to do so over the years. The only food I really couldn’t stomach back then (and until now actually) was pickled food, but I really did eat everything that my parents cooked for us.

They had a hard time with my younger brother. He really didn’t want to eat anything other than fried food and pasta. While pasta could be healthy, we only had that every weekend, which meant that the rest of the week, he was only eating fried, dried, and fatty food. The best attempt my Mom tried was a vegetable soup renamed as creamy pasta soup. Well, it worked! Until I opened my big mouth and told him it was vegetable soup.

Quick Tip: Leave a cup of vegetables not pureed if a chunkier soup is preferred.

I was just telling my husband the other day how much I was craving biscuits and gravy and he agreed that the dish did sound appealing. However, he said he wanted something with a bit more substance to it. I was all, “What could that possibly be?” My darling husband told me that a guy at work brought in some chicken stew topped with biscuits for his lunch the other day and it looked and smelled super good. Hmm, that does sound good!

So, I got on the internet and found this amazing biscuit-topped stew recipe and got to work. I shouldn’t even call it “work” because this recipe is super easy to make. I opted to make my biscuits from a box but hey, I needed to cut down on time and I wanted to keep this recipe as simple as possible. It still turned out amazing! Will you be making this dish tonight?
