Neat; it's fun to be the first to submit for a BB! I made four soups -- Dakota pit chowder, leek soup, haybox chili, and today haybox sweet potato stew.

This is the first time I've tried in line photos!

It took a while to get this one but I think I got it :)

One haybox was at Wheaton Labs, the other was a cooler and blankets at my house.  Sorry for all the pics, it's better to do these BBs as a concentrated effort, not spread over two years :)

I cooked 1 gallon of each of these soups. Thats what it takes to feed an army of 8! The four I picked:
1. Award-Winning Venison Chili: https://www.missallieskitchen.com/venison-chili/
The raw ingredients included tomatoes, peppers, green onions, garlic, squash and 2 lbs. Ground venison. I cooked it on the normal stove.

2. Elk stew. Homade recipe
Raw ingredients included carrots, potatoes, apple cider vinegar, celery, thyme, and elk roast. I cooked it in the stove and then used a cooler as a hay box cooker.

3. Corn chowder. Old family recipe
Raw ingredients included included corn, bacon, potatoes, garlic and onions. I cooked it over a Dakota stove and used a hay box cooker.

4. Cream of broccoli soup, grandma's famous recipe
Raw ingredients included broccoli, scallions, Chives and garlic. Cooked this one on the stove.
