When it comes to comfort food, it doesn't get much better than a hearty soup or stew. The great thing about using venison to make them with is the fact that they are relatively healthy compared to making them with fatty beef.

​

If you really like having that rich mouth feel and flavor associated with beef, you can always add in a healthy fat to achieve the same soul-warming effect.

 

Also, don't let the same old recipes of your past lead you to believe these dishes are just for fall and winter months. I have some recipes that can be enjoyed on hot days and will keep you light on your mind, stomach and feet.
