Colorado Campfire Chicken Stew combines peas, carrots, potatoes, and white beans, along with just the right seasoning, for a soup as thick and rich as the inside of a chicken pot pie. Home cooks make a simple butter-based roux and take the next left toward Comfort Town, USA.

Love this and love the fact it is low in sodium.
Good morning! Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your "Colorado Campfire" Chicken Stew over the last week. I haven't had a better off-the-shelf stew mix and we really appreciate that you don't add salt...we can do that on our own to taste! Keep up the great work!! I'm cooking up a batch of "Dakota Territory" beef barley stew as I write this. Perfect for a snowy day in Virginia.
I used shredded chicken and reduced the amount of broth then refrigerated until the next day. I scooped out a desired portion into two au gratin dishes and made crusts from a boxed pie crust mix. I rolled out two crusts and topped each dish so the crust would just overhang the dish rim. (One box made two crusts). Then brushed with an egg wash and vented the crusts. Placed the dishes on a cookie sheet and loosely covered with foil, baking at 375 degrees for15 minutes, then removed foil and continued to bake for an additional 20 minutes until crusts were golden brown and stew heated through. There's plenty of stew to make a few pot pies or just add more broth for stew in a bowl!
We found this soup to be pretty bland. Disappointing considering how much we have liked others. I doubt I will buy again. If I did buy again I would add some additional spices. ***Anderson House Reply*** Due to the ingredients in the mix and the roux that is made in this recipe, this is one soup that we think does need a little salt. We would not recommend using low-sodium or organic broth. If so, you may need to supplement with a little salt & pepper. We always encourage using as little salt as possible but it does add a lot of flavor.
This has no right to be as delicious as it is. It’s like chicken pot pie but better?
This was delicious!
