brunswick stew with smoked paprika

2 cups cubed gold potato

2 cups thinly sliced yellow onion

2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed

1 cup frozen baby lima beans, thawed

1/2 cup tomato sauce

2 14 oz cans of chicken broth

5 bacon slices, cut and cooked

3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast

1/2 tsp sweet spanish smoked paprika

1/4 tsp ground red pepper

combine first 7 ingredients over medium high heat, bring to a boil. reduce heat to low, simmer 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. stir in chicken, paprika, s&p; simmer for 15 mins.

lots of time Ii leave out the lima beans and use regular paprika and it still tastes yummy! i also like to cook it down a little bit so it is not so juicy but a little more thick and stewy.

amy that is one of my favorite cooking blogs too. another one that Ii really like is jamiecooksitup.blogspot.com

i am jealous you can all enjoy some yummy warm soup on a cool crisp day. i will still make mine because it is raining and turn up the ac.
