    Soup and I don’t get along very well. Stew on the other hand, thick and hearty, stick to your ribs stew. Forget about counting calories, There’s magic in there.

    A hearty bowl of magic. That's stew for you.


    Soup. It can be so boring. Sure, it’s healthy, packed with nutrients and all that mambo jumbo. But, it’s also so packed with sodium and decomposing noodles that turn to mush on your tongue. Sure, the picture on the can looks amazing and everything sounds good. The calorie count is printed in big numbers so you feel like you’re being healthy. And yet. Always disappointed. Yeah, soup and I don’t get along very well. (If anyone cares enough, I give it three weeks before there’s at least 1 or two soup recipes on here and you can be like, ‘hey Kita! you’re a liar. You said you don’t like soup.’ You’d be right.) This Thai Chicken Stew isn’t soup though.

    It’s Stew. And stew on the other hand, well that’s a different story. Thick and hearty. Stick to your ribs. Forget about counting those calories – that’s crazy science anyway. There’s magic in there that makes it thick and filling. This takes chicken noodle soup and punches in the face with the flavor stick. No more bland, over-salted soup. Just sweet and spicy awesomeness headed towards ya with fresh snow peas and a blast of curry.

    Chicken noodle soup just met its big brother.
