Old Time Wisconsin Booyah ! image

There are many versions of this wonderful recipe, people actually argue over what ingredients should or shouldn't be in it! People also argue if it is a chowder, a soup or a stew! Many nationalities claim it as their recipe, so I won't go into that, don't want more arguing! LOL You can have this as thick or thin as you like...

River Pantry Chicken Booyah, Wisconsin Style image

This recipe is a cultural phenomon in the areas of Green Bay and DePere, Wisconsin. A daughter and family lives in this area. when visiting 1 keep seeing these signs about a Booyah supper, bring your containers at the different churches. Eventually I found that this basically a chicken soup prepared in good ole Wisconsin outdoors style. This is the soup that my good friend from Indonesia cooked for the 2010 One Pot Cook Off at the Northside Farmers Market in Madison, Wisconsin. She won! It just happened that the local Isthmus weekly newspaper had an article by Terese Allen about "Local Flavors" Belgian American of Brown, Door and Kewanee counties. This recipe also, adapted from Michele in NJ from this site # 146497. Served Tuesday night April 21, 2015 to 100 folks during food pantry.
