I have found many recipes for potato soup and some, not many, include venison. I have seen it with huge chunks of venison, some with slices, and some with ground venison burger. I’ve seen some that looked delicious and a few that looked downright disgusting–I’m just being honest.

Chili is a favorite all over the world. We don’t know exactly where it came from or how long it’s been around, but we love chili so much that there’s a National and World Chili Championship and there’s even an International Chili Society. When a meal has its own society, you know it’s good!

  Deer Calico Beans does not contain Calico cat–I promise. It does have white-tailed deer, though. This recipe is somewhat similar to chili beans but different. Does that make sense? No, I didn’t think so, but once you see how it’s made and taste it you will understand.

My Mamaw Inie made the best vegetable soup in the world. I can still see her standing in the kitchen waiting for it to get done. Every so often she’d stir it and take a big whiff. It scented the whole house.
