Stout Portabello Stew

I am a lucky girl, that much is for sure!

Yesterday, I went to the mall to shop for some jeans, and to see New Moon (more on New Moon later) and I came home with a few extra things from Aero due to some awesome deals and a 30% off coupon, of course.

When I got home, this delicious stew was waiting for me, along with my two favorite people in the world. I made some Irish soda bread and we had a delicious dinner together.



Recipe by my husband David

combine:
1 brown onion, chopped
2 stalks celery, sliced
3 Tbs olive oil

in a skillet over medium high heat. saute until onion is soft.

then add:
16 oz baby portabello mushrooms, sliced thick
1 bottle stout beer (we used Samuel Adams Cream Stout)
6 red potatoes, diced

and water to cover potatoes + 1 inch or so.
simmer until potatoes are tender, about 30 minutes.

add:
1/2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp marjoram
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp peppercorn pepper
1/2 tsp soy sauce


In a separate pot over low heat, melt 6 Tbs butter. Add 1 1/2 C milk, 1/2 C flour and stir. Quickly add up to 2 cups of broth from soup pot, and stir until smooth and creamy, about 10 minutes. Transfer back to the soup and allow to simmer until well blended.

Makes 8 servings.

Serve with White Irish Soda Bread

Give Thanks and Enjoy!!
