I returned from Houston last night just in time to sit down to supper with my family! It isn’t really fall there (yet!) but it sure is here in Bama, so I thought I’d share some of my favorite soup and stew recipes with you today.
If you’re on Facebook, I sure would appreciate it if you’d click that little “like” button above! If you’re an email subscriber and received this in your inbox, please forward it to any friends you think might enjoy Southern Plate! Have a wonderful Wednesday 🙂
Gratefully,

BBQ Joint Stew (Commonly Called Brunswick Stew)
At the first sign of chill in the air, BBQ joints around here start cranking out this delicious stew. It helps them use up any leftover shredded pork and chicken that they may have. By mixing in their signature bbq sauce (my No. 5 signature bbq sauce recipe is in my cookbook in case you need one) and whatever vegetables they have on hand they can turn out a flavorful and filling stew unlike any other.
My Favorite Potato Soup
Includes lots of ideas to customize this classic and make it your own!
Chicken Tortilla Soup
Full of flavor thanks to the Enchilada sauce, this soup is a cinch to throw together!
Christy’s Slow Cooker Chili
Any southerner worth their salt has a great chili recipe, preferably a signature one. This is mine 🙂
Ground Beef Stew (with a secret!)
Here is a fuss free, economical, and delicious beef stew to warm you from the inside out. I just love stew weather! To me, this tastes a lot like Cracker Barrel’s Vegetable Beef Stew, but with more goodies inside!
Our Family’s Chicken Stew Recipe
This stuff is good, you really need to make it!
Simple Tomato Soup
With a few ingredients and a few minutes, you can have an outstanding tomato soup. Can you say Grilled Cheese?
Shortcut Senate Bean Soup
Oh my goodness is this ever good. Warm, soothing, filling, and with shortcuts to save time!
Tina’s Corn Chowder
This corn chowder is a great meal for vegetarians. Simply substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth and you’re off to the races!
Chicken Noodle Soup
This soup is the absolute favorite of my son and all of my nephews!
“Free Soup” – Dieter’s Best Friend!
This recipe is one my mother and I have used for over twenty years, and we still love it. Many diets have “free” vegetables, which are basically vegetables that are allowed without restriction. What this soup does is combine those vegetables in with a richly flavored broth and serves them up as the perfect anytime dish to fight off the munchies, serve as a quick and easy lunch, or a filling side dish with your evening meal.
Tomato-less Rustic Beef Stew
I worked up this recipe especially for my Aunt Sue, who makes the worlds best pound cake but can’t eat tomatoes. How are those two related? Well, beyond me just putting them in a sentence together I reckon that’s about it, but you can get her pound cake recipe in my cookbook ~winks~.
Spaghetti Lover’s Soup
So if you love Spaghetti…
Taco Soup
World’s Easiest Supper – Nuff Said! 🙂

My Facebook Good Morning Post for the day (I hope you’ll join us on the Southern Plate Facebook Family Page soon!)
”We can always be a little nicer. We can smile a little bigger and more often, instead of passing by folks on the street quietly we can greet them with “Good Mornin”. We can be the bigger, nicer person to the persistent grump at work. In time, you’ll be amazed at the people you can soften through the simplest kindnesses but you’ll be even more amazed to find that each little act removes another brick over a huge fountain of joy within you. Eventually, you’ll have a geyser.” ~Christy
P. S. Good Morning!
Ooh those are some good lookin’ soups!
I’ve made the potato soup 2x since finding your recipe a month ago. It is a favorite for me and my family!
We’ve made all of them and the potato is our favorite. We have it at least every other week in the fall and winter and I always double the recipe so we have leftovers for lunches!
I have made so many of these!!! My husband and I LOVE the corn chowder!! It freezes very well also. Thank You Christy for so much good eating!!!
Christy, I’ve made the Senate Bean Soup and also the simple tomato soup.
It’s a shame that simple tomato soup is so simple, I’ve had it several times
the bean soup also, next in line is the crockpot chili and the potato soup.
Keep em coming.

I love all your recipes!!! I have made the taco soup, tomato-less rustic beef stew, chicken stew & potato soup. They were all amazing & were scarfed right up!!! LOL Thanks so much for doing what you do. God bless.
WOW! Thank you so much Pam!!! I am so glad you are enjoying the recipes. Hope you have a blessed day!!
I’ve made your Taco Soup, Tomatoless Beef Stew, Chili and Chicken Stew. The Chicken Stew kind of missed the mark with us (sorry to say) but the other three are among my favorite recipes 😀 Can’t wait to try your BBQ Joint Stew, Chicken Tortilla Soup and Corn Chowder! I already have fantastic navy bean soup and potato soup recipes but I might give yours a try someday too 🙂
That’s why I try to post all kinds of varieties of things. I know not everyone is going to like every recipe. But I am glad to hear that you like the others!!
I felt kinda bad posting that a recipe I made wasn’t a favorite, but like you said, everyone has different tastes 🙂 It can kinda hurt when you share a recipe and someone makes it and doesn’t love it- I’ve been there and can’t help but wonder if they did something wrong! As for your recipes, I’ve made probably 30 of them if not more (and many of them multiple times) and we are crazy about the vast majority of them. I make something from Southern Plate at least once a week, if not more often- yesterday I made your Chicken Planks for the second time (and posted about it on my blog!). Your “grilled” chicken tenderloins, hoe cake, sweet and sour green beans, mashed potatoes, chicken and dumplings, taco soup, beef stew, sugar cookie icing, cream cheese frosting, peanut butter balls, cheesy chicken casserole, and many more are amongst our all time favorites. And last night as we were falling asleep my husband randomly woke up and asked me if I could make the 7 Up pound cake soon.
Okay, I just added it up- I was wrong. I’ve made over 50 of your recipes in the past year and a half! WOW! And a lot of those I’ve made more than once and many, many of them are favorites now. I have a lot of cook books that I’ve only made one (or zero) recipes from and my AllRecipes recipe box has about 3,000 recipes I’ve saved but haven’t made yet so this is really very impressive. Where would I be without Southern Plate? 🙂
