Drunken Potato Kale Beef Stew, a hearty guy friendly comfort food meal– simple ingredients, minimal prep and a bottle of beer, what more could you want at dinner time?

Drunken Potato Kale Beef Stew, a hearty guy friendly comfort food meal-- simple ingredients, minimal prep and a bottle of beer, what more could you want at dinner time?

When it’s football season, we grill out a lot more. Here in Florida, the fall and winter season is actually the best time for us to grill since it’s not as blazing hot, although it’s going to be in the 80s this weekend.

So that’s why I made this dish in a cast iron pot. It’s perfect for the grill or stove! Grilling isn’t limited to meat, put a cast iron pot on the grill and you can make soup like this, Drunken Potato Kale Beef Stew!

Of course, you can make this soup on the stove top in a regular soup pot too. In fact that’s how I originally made this recipe.

But my favorite part about grilling this Drunken Potato Kale Beef Stew?  Tossing a baguette on the grill to get it warm and crispy– perfect for dipping into beer broth.

    I came across your recipe for Drunken Potato and Kale Soup looking for ways to enjoy my good kale crop. Your photo really sold me on it. I was also glad to use my garden carrots too. Dog gone tasty on a cool and cloudy first day of Fall. Love you creativity with this soup! Thanks

    Can you use vegetable broth instead of water and bullion cubes?

      Yes– that should be fine if you use the veggie broth! 🙂

      Hey! You can really use any beer that you have, I think I actually used a pumpkin beer when I made it the first time. Oh, and if you need it to be gluten free make sure you use a gluten-free beer 🙂
