This <\/em>Brunswick stew<\/em><\/strong> combines chicken, ham, vegetables, and a lightly smoky tomato broth into a filling, comforting dish. It\u2019s a Southern classic with a ton of history that\u2019s simple to make and perfect for feeding a crowd or saving for leftovers.<\/em><\/p>\n

Like a lot of regional dishes, Brunswick stew comes with a bit of history and a bit of a debate. Both Virginia and Georgia claim to be its birthplace, with early versions said to include whatever meat was available. The stew was then slowly simmered with vegetables over an open fire. And while the original recipes varied a little, the idea stayed the same: this was a thick, hearty stew made to feed a group.<\/p>\n

Over time, the stew evolved into the version most people recognize today, with chicken, pork or ham, tomatoes, and a mix of vegetables like corn and beans. It\u2019s similar to something like a Caldo de Res (Vegetable Beef Stew)<\/a> or Albondigas (Mexican Meatball Stew)<\/a>. But this one is loved for its balance of savory, slightly smoky, and lightly tangy flavors, and you\u2019ll often stir in a bit of heat at the end if you can tolerate it!<\/p>\n
