It seems like our Winter is never ending. We currently have at least two feet of snow on the ground, and we continue to hit records for low temperatures, similar to much of the country. Thank goodness for warm – stick to your bones – comfort food! There just isn’t anything like a good hearty soup or stew to warm you up.
I have made plenty of stews during my many years in the kitchen, but had never thought to add Meatballs…this was definitely a new adventure. And I am happy to say, it was a grand adventure!
Fresh vegetables definitely make all the difference, the flavors from “real” food is unmatched. Along with a match of Homemade Meatballs, this Stew was a favorite with our family!
