Today's recipe also comes from Texas, this time from my sister-in-law Cindy. It's was cold and rainy the day she made this for dinner. She served it with a salad and a hot loaf of crusty french bread. A perfect hearty meal for a cold winter evening.
She made this in her brand new soup pot. It is enamel over cast iron, which is perfect for soup and stew. It is a Cooks brand pot from J.C. Penney's. Le Creuset also makes a much more expensive version. I made a meal in this pot last night and it is really great to cook in. I want to get one when I get home.
