My Amish neighbor shared this “Golden Stew” recipe with me and boy does it live up to its name

In a sizable stockpot, combine onions, carrots, potatoes, and ham. Pour in 3 cups of chicken broth and allow it to simmer until the vegetables are tender, roughly 20-30 minutes.

Integrate the cream-based soups and the peas. If a thinner consistency is desired, introduce additional chicken broth. Adjust flavor with salt and pepper.

Maintain a simmer for another 10-15 minutes until the stew is uniformly heated.

Allow it to slightly cool before serving.

As an accompaniment, consider Amish bread, such as the well-known Friendship Bread, or a homemade cornbread, both of which are ideal for savoring the stew’s rich flavors. For a refreshing contrast, serve with a crisp salad or a dollop of homemade applesauce for a hint of sweetness.

Savor the deep-rooted tradition and warmth encapsulated in the Amish Golden Stew, and let its comforting embrace draw you back bowl after bowl.
