50 savory soup, stew, and chile recipes
Even before the coronavirus pandemic, global cooking trends were showing an uptick in people cooking at home. Gallup and Cookpad's latest report published Dec. 17, 2020, showed that through 2019, a growing number of people around the world were cooking at home rather than going out or eating pre-cooked meals.
In the U.S., the swelling popularity of at-home meal prep subscriptions from Blue Apron to Hello Fresh! and the growing prevalence of grocery delivery underscore a renewed interest in prepping meals at home. Then as COVID-19 spread, mandatory restaurant shutdowns and capacity limits drove a dramatic jump in home cooking—not to mention demand for recipes and sales of things like yeast and kitchen appliances.
Mainstays of the winter months are soups, stews, and chilis. But cooking at home all the time can send even the most inventive chef into a culinary rut. To expand on your soup-cooking portfolio, Stacker compiled a list of soups, stews, and chili recipes from Allrecipes. Keep reading to see which of these represent some of your time-tested favorites—and which might be a new weekly staple in your household.
