Colorado Campfire Chicken Stew
1. In a 4-quart pot melt butter and sauté onion 5 minutes.
2. Add flour or cornstarch, stir continuously for 30 seconds to form paste.
3. Stir in broth and bring to a simmer. Stir until thickened.
4. Add contents of Colorado Campfire Chicken Stew Mix and chicken (or turkey).
5. Bring to a simmer again, cover and cook 30 minutes.
Serve this thick-as-pot pie soup with biscuits on the side!
Soup will thicken if made ahead, may want to add 1 or 2 cups more broth when serving.
To boost and vary vegetables, add 2 cups diced bell peppers, mushrooms, green beans, bok choy or parsnips in final 20 minutes.
To boost whole grains, add a crusty whole grain bread to soup rather than dumplings or chicken pot pie recipe variations suggested on the package or website.
To give a Mediterranean twist, top each serving with 1 tablespoon chopped, unsalted walnuts.
To cut saturated fat, prepare with 4 tablespoons vegetable oil instead of butter and use skinless chicken.
To cut sodium, prepare with low sodium broth. To cut sodium further, substitute water for half of the broth.
Easy Chicken Dumplings:
1. Drop quartered refrigerator biscuits or biscuit batter on top of the stew and simmer, covered.
2. Spoon soup over the top of the dumplings occasionally during the last 20 minutes of cooking.
