It is time for Soup Saturday Swappers and I am hosting this month. I started this group several years ago and have a great bunch of bloggers that join me each month in sharing a soup/stew recipe based on a theme or ingredient.  We take turns hosting each month and we not only have a lot of fun but we get some awesome recipes out of the deal.  If you are a blogger and would like to join our group just leave a comment below and I will be happy to invite you.

This month I asked the group to share a hearty, comforting Main Course Soup or Stew.  Let's see what they brought to the table...........

• Amish Stuffed Pepper Soup by Palatable Pastime
• Green Pork Chili by A Day in the Life on the Farm 
• Instant Pot Beef Stew by Making Miracles
• Kjötsúpa (Icelandic Meat Soup) by Culinary Adventures with Camilla
• Tomato Apple Soup with Pull Apart Cheese Bread by Sneha's Recipe
• Vegetable Beef and Quinoa Soup by Sid's Sea Palm Cooking
• Vietnamese Beef Stew (Bò Kho) by Karen's Kitchen Stories 

I knew I wanted to make this recipe by Bobby Flay as soon as I saw it.  It calls for roasting tomatillos. red onions, garlic and jalapenos as the first step.  Unfortunately my grocer did not have any fresh tomatillos so I substituted jarred green salsa.  I also adapted the recipe to feed only 3 of us and I didn't add any cilantro.

While the veggies roasted I seared the pork in my dutch oven.  When the veggies were done, I gave them a quick pulse in the food processor and added them to the pot with the pork, salsa and chicken stock.  Into the oven for 2 hrs. and dinner was  served.

We eat a lot of  Main Course Soups/Stews during the cold winter months.  I find them so cozy and comforting when the skies are gray and the weather blustery. I can't wait to try out some of these new to me recipes being shared today.
