Whenever the weather change to fall then toward winter I love, love, love making soups.
There's something about a comforting homey meal when you get home from work after a long day that gets me right there. (Pointing toward heart) It soothes the soul, if you know what I mean.
So to make these wonderfully tasting soups and stews during the week I turn to my slow cooker for help. It gives you that cooked all day flavor without the effort. So what to make? I'm feeling like a comforting chicken stew is in order. I have a French chicken stew that I make but I'm actually in the mood for Italian flavors. Something with a tomato base. So a Slow Cooker Italian Chicken Stew was in order.
Wonderfully simple ingredients such as onion, celery, and carrots are the base of the recipes as with many soups and stews. What makes this special are the addition of Italian ingredients such as tomatoes and Cannellini beans along with Italian spices such as basil, oregano, add the zest this Italian stew deserves.
What equipment do I need to make this? I have several slow cookers but my favorite is this one. It has a sauté feature that I love along with it being a multi-functional cooker. Another standard slow cooker I have is this one. It has a good price point but doesn't have timer functions. Other items you might like are some wonderful spices such as this one, or this one. Staples such as these long lasting measuring spoons and this necessary ladle for soups and stews are great to have as well.
Warm and inviting, this thick and hearty stew will have you rubbing your tummy and going back for more! The spices blend together beautifully throughout the day and give this a wonderful flavor. This is a stew that you will want on rotation throughout the winter this year.
Enjoy!
