We’re all searching for easy, quick ways to produce nutrient-dense meals. Homemade chicken stock, beef and fish stock offer a variety of nutrients like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and trace minerals. Plus, making stock is very simple. I’ve found it the perfect food to have on hand for making quick and nutritious soups and stews.
My Le Creuset Dutch oven has it’s usual place on our stove during the winter months. I constantly have either some sort of stock or soup simmering on the stove. The great thing about a Dutch oven or other oven-safe pots with lids is that you can put them in the oven at a low heat to get moist, flavorful stews.
Last week I did a little experimenting and found that you can use a Dutch oven or braiser as a crock pot in your oven (a nice perk if you don’t own a slow-cooker). I cooked a chicken in the oven last week at 250ºF for 3 hours and got just the same results as when I cooked one in the slow-cooker for 4 hours on medium. Nice!
My youngest daughter loves peas, soup and eggs so when I saw this recipe I knew it would be an instant hit. Frozen peas make life easier in the winter months and if you have some stock waiting in the fridge or freezer, you can whip up this soup in minutes.
Here are some other soups and stews you might enjoy:
Beef Stew
Sweet Potato Soup with Bacon via Clothes Make the Girl
Creamy Chicken, Tomato and Vegetable Soup
Curried Cream of Broccoli Soup via Nom Nom Paleo
Cauliflower Soup with Black Truffle Oil
Mushroom Stew via Nourishing Kitchen
In order to help get us on our way to easy, nutrient-dense meals, Le Creuset has kindly offered to give a 3 1/2 – quart braiser to one lucky winner! You can even pick your color! See the widget below for details:
Pea Egg-Drop Soup (Gaps, Paleo, Primal, Grain Free)
Are peas Paleo/Primal? Click here to read what Mark Sisson says on this topic.
Adapted from Martha Stewart Magazine
Serves 8
For the Soup:
8 cups chicken stock
2 pounds frozen peas, thawed
1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
4 large eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 teaspoons coconut vinegar
2 cups pea tendrils (you can substitute with spinach)
Directions: Place stock, peas and salt in a large pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until peas are cooked through and bright green, about 5 minutes. Using a fork, begin to stir the soup in a circular motion. While stirring, slowly add eggs in a steady stream. This will create strands of egg in the soup. Stir in lemon zest, coconut vinegar and pea tendrils. Season with sea salt to taste. Serve.

If you can tolerate grains, you could substitute with rice vinegar.
My favorite soup is potato leek soup.
Thanks for the chances to win!
Avis
Sweet Potato
Classic chicken and veggie soup is my favorite.
Would love to make some of my family’s favorite chicken noodle-less soup in the braiser!
My Mom’s Beef Stew
My favorite stew is a new one I recently made. Pheasant/barley stew—it was amazing!!
My favorite soup is roasted tomato, potato & kale! It’s my kids’ favorite Meatless Monday meal!!
This would be fantastic – I love the size…:-)
Carrie this soup looks beautiful!! I love my Le Creuset Braiser! I keep it out and use it all the time!
Honestly, clam chowder is my all time favorite soup, but I’m a fan of most soups. I think the dutch oven would be an awesome addition to my kitchen.
Yay! This looks so yummy
Soup & stew are winter staples at our house. Any kind will do as long as it’s loaded with veggies. Would love anything from Le Creuset. Someday my budget will allow me to purchase a dutch oven from them.
That looks delicious!!
Chicken and Wild Rice, Yum!!
Potato Soup!
Black beans and rice.
Split pea!
Oh my, I would love one!
Tonight I’m making Beef Burgundy with short ribs! Beef Burgundy has become a favorite for me and my hubby.
Everyone in the family loves taco soup.
This would be awesome to win…I have always wanted one of these!
Chili!
My favorite soup is this vegetable soup my Dad makes, its one of those, “whatever we have in the fridge” thrown together soups, and is always amazing!
Great idea to use the French Oven as a slow cooker!
I love a warm bowl of creamy tomato soup.
My all time favorite soup on a cold day is taco soup! Yum!

I made your tortilla soup (from your meal plans) last night. Everyone loved it and we’re having leftovers tonight!
Beef stew is my fave!
I love the soup recipes you post! The asian soup on the meal plans is a new fav.
I love making soups especially in my Le Creuset dutch oven. I would love to have the braiser!
I love that, with a little modification, you can turn just about anything into a delicious soup!
I love those little purple soup serving bowls. They are adorable!
I have two favorites — one is black lentil (recipe from orangette), and the other my husband made up– I call it man stew. He roughly chops all veggies (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, onions, garlic, cabbage — whatever is in the fridge). Adds grassfed stew meat and quarts of our bone broth. Then lets all this cook for 6-8 hours — until meat is tender. He seasons with different things — salt, freshly ground pepper, sometimes oregano and thyme, sage — whatever suits his taste that day. It is a great GAPS intro soup because everything is cooked thoroughly (not much fiber to upset the healing digestive tract).
black bean soup!
Potato soup is my favorite!
I’ve been wanting a Le Creuset pot forever.
Soups are like children – you can’t have a favorite! I <3 them all!!
wedding soup
I would say chicken noodle soup.
I put pea tendrils in a miso soup I made last week and it was delicious! This sounds awesome too. I don’t know why I don’t make more egg drop soup!
Have always wanted a Le Creuset anything!
Brilliant! I have a bunch of frozen pea bags in the freezer and was wondering what I could do with them. And I’ve been craving soup since it got chilly again. I know what I’m having for dinner! Fave soup…hmmm…lentil soup, I think. Although tomato basil is great too.
I love chicken Tortilla soup. Instead of using fried corn tortillas, I use fried parsnip strips. yum!
I love soups, all soups, so I really don’t have a favorite, though today I’m craving onion soup, I’m about to get some started!
I love the cauliflower black truffle oil soup. I made it a few months ago and seeing it here again make me want to make it again tonight.
I use my slow cooker all the time for soups and stews in the winter…. but maybe that’s because I don’t own a Le Creuset dutch oven
My favorite is a beef stew with lots of root veg and wine!
Oh, I love soup and was looking for a good recipe for tonight! Perfect!
I love making soup, we raise our own chickens so I make tons of chicken soup but my fav is minestrone soup. I am very much in need of a dutch oven but right now our budget is very tight, I would love to win one!
Sausage, Potato, Kale Soup!
I love any soup, but anything hardy that can be scooped up with a big piece of bread is my favorite.
I absolutely love making chicken and whole wheat dumplings. This pot would be perfect for it!

We like to use our homemade stock and just put whatever veggies we have in it. If it’s beef stock we use beef and veggies, if it’s chicken same thing. Kind of a no brainer easy meal.
Potato soup
I make a vegetable soup that I just adore! Last week I made a really good Gluten-Free Cheesey Potato & Broccoli soup!
I had been nervous about making my own homemade stock for the firs time. But it was so easy! Now, I have (okay had, I need to make some more) a freezer full anytime I need it. And I feel good about giving to the kids! Even my 6 yr old drank it when he was sick! Win! This soup sounds like it would be a hit t our house.

Fave soup or stew would have to be Chicken Wild Rice and White Chicken Chili. It is even more nourishing and better tasting now that I know how to make stock and properly prepare the white beans and use local raw cream. Love the giveaway and your site

Black bean and vegetable
Wild Rice soup is my go to favorite.
Yum! This recipe sounds great. I have heard that adding chicken feet to the stock will add a lot of collagen and the stock must be cooked for at least 5 -10 hours for all of the gelatin to transfer into the stock. Would love a Creuset pot to experiment this recipe!
My favorite soup is Italian Wedding Soup. But I love to make and eat soup. It does not matter the time of year.
Lentil vegetable. Yum!
