Easy Brunswick Stew

My husband loves brunswick stew and burgo.  He says there is a difference but I am not sure what it might be.  So a couple weeks back I found this recipe for the easy brunswick stew.  I had some cooked, shredded chicken in the freezer that needed to be used and we had some left over bbq that he made for our open house in the freezer.  What else is there to do but make him some brunswick stew.  He told me it was a keeper and I could make it for him again.

What better on a cold dreary day than a nice bowl of hot soup?

 Don't worry it isn't hard to put together despite there being several ingredients.

 Start with 4 Tablespoons butter in a Dutch oven.

 Add one medium chopped onion.

 1 clove minced garlic.  Let that cook for a few minutes.

 Add 1 1/2 cups frozen lima beans.

 Let that cook with the onions for a few minutes.

 You are going to add 3/4 cup bbq sauce.  I added 1/2 cup Kraft sauce.

 And 1/4 cup Dreamland sauce.  Dreamland is a little thin so I didn't want to use all 3/4 cup because it might be to thin.  But adding the Dreamland gives it a little kick.  But you can add any kind you like.

 8 oz can of tomato sauce

 14 1/2 oz can of diced tomatoes

 2 cups chicken broth

 Let that simmer for about 15 minutes.

 1 1/2 cup frozen corn

 1 1/2 cups cooked chicken or turkey

 1/2 teaspoon tabasco sauce. Or as much as you like.

 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

 A little salt

 A little pepper

 A pound of pulled pork.  I had more chicken than called for so I just put some pork in until it looked right.  You can used left over pulled pork or whatever you want.

 Mix together and let simmer for a few minutes.

And spoon up.
