Jesse's Happy Stew

I have a friend, a special friend, who’s name is Jesse. We are courting, which is, unfortunately, a vanishing idea in this society. We want our relationship to be more meaningful than casual dating, so we are seeking God’s will for our future as we deepen our friendship on the foundation the Lord. It is truly an amazing thing and I am thankful everyday; it is only because of Christ!

Anyway… my man (“boyfriend” is so high-school, don’t you think?) is quite the dashing cook when he wants to be. He was craving some soupy-stewish food and came up with this. It was quite delicious! We decided “happy stew” was such a perfect name for this dish because, well, it will just make you happy!

Jesse’s Happy Stew 

~~~~<><><>~~~<><><>~~~<><><>~~~<><><>~~~<><><>~~~<><><>~~~<><><>~~~~

4 boneless skinless chicken breast (or stew meat if you wish)

2 Cans Campbell’s Golden Mushroom Soup 

5 C. Water

1 bag frozen peas

1 Can of Sweet Corn (with juice) 

1 Can of potatoes (or real, but cook time will vary)

Pepper to taste

Soy Sauce to taste 

Onion Powder to taste (or sliced onions) 

Garlic Powder to taste (or minced garlic)

1 - 2 tsp. Hot Sauce (he used Tapitio, but Tabasco is wonderful, too!)

Can I just say that some carrots would be glorious in this as well? Well, I said it. 

Jesse cooked all of this man-style: throw it all in a pot and crank it on high! If you prefer using real onions and garlic instead of powder, it will only add a few minutes to the prep time. Mix all the ingredients together in a crockpot and let it cook on high for several hours (his cooked for 10hours to be exact, but more than half of that was on low… I think. This is HIS recipe, after all!)
