Soup & Stew Inferno — Sweet-Heat Soups, Stews & Cozy Bowls With Fire
The second I pull out the Instant Pot, the flock assumes I’m making soup. Buddy leans over her perch like she’s waiting for a sermon. Boingo tries to dunk his face in the veggie bowl. Betsy climbs the steam release valve (dangerously). Lucy and Sophie circle the kitchen like tiny helicopter inspectors. And Larry? He sees jalapeños, broth, tomatoes, spices, and maybe a Reaper on the counter, and says, “Is this going to fog up my glasses again?”
This category is all about cozy sweet-heat comfort bowls — spicy chicken soups, fruit-kissed stews, smoky chipotle pots, creamy jalapeño chowders, veggie-packed bowls, Instant Pot miracle meals, Tennessee-style chili hybrids, and broths so flavorful the flock tries to steal the spoon.
These recipes are flock-tested, Larry-approved, IBS-considered, cold-weather lifesavers, and perfect for nights when you want comfort food that still brings the fire. Whether mild with a hint of warmth or full-on clear-your-sinuses inferno, there’s a bowl here for every mood.
So whether you’re simmering, sautéing, slow-cooking, or Instant-Potting your way to spicy comfort…
Welcome to Soup & Stew Inferno. Grab your ladle — Buddy already tried to steal the first bowl.
