I’ve expressed many times my love for soups and stews. They’re a go-to during the winter because they’re not only warm and comforting, but if you just throw a few ingredients into a pot or slow-cooker, they are as easy as can be to make!
I love playing around with different ingredients and flavour combinations and I definitely have a few favourite stew recipes up my sleeve, but my newest fave is this super comforting Winter Chicken & Rice Stew!
Made with only a small handful of wholesome ingredients, this one need not take any more than an hour or so to cook. The perfect weeknight meal or weekend dinner that makes a great leftover lunch.

This stew is Low FODMAP and omits garlic and onion. However, for those of you without gut troubles, feel free to chop up an onion and a clove of garlic and add it to this recipe.
I hope you enjoy this simple stew as much as I do! What are you favourite soup or stew ingredients this time of year?
