There's nothing like a simmering pot of soup or stew to make any place feel like home. Whether we're parked at a campsite or back in our home kitchen, these one-pot wonders are the ultimate comfort food. Plus, they're perfect for RV cooking-minimal dishes, maximum flavor, and plenty of leftovers!
Why Soups & Stews are RV-Friendly
Since we travel in our RV often, I've learned to appreciate meals that are easy, hearty, and flexible. Soups and stews check all the boxes:
- One-pot simplicity: Less cleanup, fewer dishes-need I say more?
- Adaptable ingredients: Use up whatever veggies, proteins, or pantry staples you have on hand.
- Great for meal prep: Make a big batch and enjoy it for multiple meals.
- Cozy & satisfying: A warm bowl of soup just feels like a hug in a bowl, doesn't it?
Tips for Cooking Soup in an RV Kitchen
- Use a slow cooker or Instant Pot: They save space and allow for easy hands-off cooking.
- Opt for shelf-stable ingredients: Canned tomatoes, broth, beans, and dried spices are pantry MVPs.
- Prep ahead: Chop veggies in advance to make cooking easier after a long day of exploring.
- Store leftovers smartly: Mason jars or stackable containers keep your tiny fridge organized.
