If you’re looking for something to eat that will warm you up from the inside out, this Portugeuse Chourico Stew is it!

During the colder months of the year I could live off of soups and stews. Most of the winter my time is spent curled up next to a heater buried underneath a blanket. I honestly can not stand the cold weather and will do anything necessary to escape the wrath it puts on my body.

I simply adore a hearty stew because not only does it fill me up, it warms my body. I can go from extremely miserable to comfortably content within minutes after eating stew.  I know it sounds weird, y’all, but it’s true. The warm liquid has a way of warming me up, inside and out and this Portuguese Chourico Stew didn’t fail the test.

When I’m making stew, the chunkier the better. I don’t like to spend much time evenly cutting and dicing my ingredients. I try (I think “try” is the keyword here) to keep them all around the same size so they cook evenly, but I don’t sweat it. And neither should you! Stews are supposed to be easy, so just cut up your ingredients and throw them in the pot!

Super easy and incredibly tasty, y’all! I love all the different colors throughout this stew and the flavors…just delicious.

Portuguese Chourico StewThis recipe can easily be doubled to serve a larger party or can even be cut in half to serve a smaller party. Serve it with some fresh baked bread and butter or even cornbread. I don’t think you can go wrong either way. I love both!

I don’t have a photo of the stew in a bowl, but I’ll leave you one with the stew in the pot. I’ll be glad when I get my warmer weather and longer days back! It will make food photography so much easier.

    We eat a lot of soups in winter too. We like a good flavored tomato basil with rice or baked potato soup. My slow cooker gets used overtime when it’s chilly out!
