Brunswick Stew -Soups and Stews On the coast of the Carolinas and Georgia, the favorite soup would be Oyster Stew or She-Crab Soup. Further inland the hands down winner is Brunswick Stew. The original recipes for Brunswick Stew would have included squirrel, rabbit, and maybe possum (and would feed 250), but I don't hunt, so.... Here is my recipe:  Brunswick Stew- Liquid BBQ! 1 whole chicken, cut up, or mixture of meats as desired chicken broth, meat broth or boullion 1 onion, quartered 2 ribs celery, diced 1 teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon pepper 1 pound white shoepeg corn, frozen 10 oz frozen small lima beans 16 oz can tomatoes 2 small potatoes, cubed 1/3 cup catsup 3 Tablespoons vinegar 1 Tablespoon brown sugar 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce ½ teaspoon Tabasco ¼ teaspoon marjoram 2 Tablespoon butter (optional)

Place chicken in crockpot and add enough broth or boullion to cover .  Add onion, celery, salt and pepper.  Slow cook 6 hours or  until meat comes off bones easily.  Remove meat to cool and add corn, butterbeans, tomatoes, potatoes, catsup, and vinegar.  Turn up to high and  cook until tender. (1-1 1/2 hour in crockpot)   Remove meat from bones and add to vegetables along with Worcestershire, Tabasco, marjoram and butter.  Cook  another 15-20 minutes to meld flavors (or eat right away if you’re in a hurry).  You can add more or less broth as desired to get the desired soupiness.  Add cornbread and you have a meal!  Serves 6-8. .
