5 Hearty Soups and Stews to Warm Your Heart at Camp

There’s nothing cozier than a hearty soup or stew around the campfire this time of year! We love delicious recipes and love them even more if they’re easy too. Stews and soups take minimal effort to prepare either cooked over the open flame of a campfire or in the slow cooker all afternoon. Yum! Even if you aren’t one to brave the cold of winter camping, these recipes will keep the camp vibes going in your home until next spring. Which will you try first?
