What is the difference between a soup and a stew?

Soups and stews are comfort foods that provide warmth during the colder months. Some believe these dishes to be virtually identical. However, there are indeed notable differences between them.

Generally speaking, a traditional soup will have a seasoned broth or clear liquid base, while stews are typically made from meats and vegetables cooked in liquid until tender.

The consistency of a soup is usually thin, with small pieces of ingredients like meat, beans, or vegetables suspended within it.

The consistency of stew can vary from thin to thick depending on the amount of liquid used – however, it often contains large chunks of ingredients that have been simmered for an extended period.

Both dishes can incorporate the same methods of preparation and the same types of ingredients – giving them similar flavor profiles – but resourceful cooks must follow different steps to achieve each type of dish.

What are good soup toppings?

Soup toppings can add an interesting twist to a classic dish. Sprinkling herbs, spices, seeds, or nuts on top of a bowl of warm soup can add delightful flavor and provide additional nutritional benefits.

Chopped fresh vegetables are one way to give your soup a crunchy texture and flavor combination; experiment with different peppers, onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes for various flavors.

Freshly squeezed citrus juice is another great topping for adding acidity and brightness to soups like minestrone or lentil; the sharpness can help balance out the richness of broths.

Lastly, croutons and crackers add wonderful texture and crunch – get creative with different flavors and styles, such as jalapeno cheddar croutons or sesame thyme crackers!

How do you store leftover stew?

Properly storing leftovers is an important component of food safety. Stews can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.

Freezing is also an option; portion the stew into single-serving airtight containers and freeze it.

When reheating stew, ensure that it is heated thoroughly by heating it until it boils and then simmering for at least two minutes before serving.

By following these simple steps, you can enjoy your leftover stew without worrying about food safety.

  1. Hi- I’m going to share this recipe with my grand-daughter who is a Brownie this year. Question- what is 2 muffins of frozen seasoning blend? and which seasoning blend?

  2. This is an awesome recipe !!
    Having been a Daisy leader and also a Girlscout Camp Ranger’s wife for Umpteen years. I’ve found this is one of my family’s favorite recipes and its just what you have in the cupboard and on hand to put together Just as LuuLuu above mentioned! Venison is awesome as well added ! Your version is the best for a basic recipe for this “wonderful” Campfire/Dump stew! I have added canned Veg/beef soup as well to this .
    Oh and I so love your Frozen Seasoning Blend idea !! Its wonderful and I’ll put that to use right away.. Thank you so much , I know I’ll be back visiting on a regularly !!
    Warm Hugs from NC , Michele <3

  3. We fixed something in Girl Scouts that we called Dump Stew. We took (sometimes meat) and cans of veggies and “dumped” them into the pot over the camp fire. (cans of corn, green beans, peas, carrots, potatoes) The liquid in the cans is enough that water doesn’t need added, but we Girl Scouts loved it! And, I make Dump Stew now, as an adult, with deer meat added that Dad or/and I have got.

    1. Hi Sally, thanks for visiting. It isn’t actually Spanish Rice and you don’t HAVE to use rice in it. The original recipe (from my mother) uses Elbow Macaroni, but we had a TON of rice (long story) and I started making almost everything with Rice. LOL!
