Chicken & Beef For 5 Hungry College Students

2#     chicken breast meat
1/2#  beef steak
1/4    onion-finely chopped
8-12 oz  white wine or light colored beer
3 lg   carrots
1/2    bunch of celery
3/4 lg  onion-bigger pieces

Cut the meat in cubes or larger pieces.  Brown meat and chopped onions in a little butter and olive oil.  When well browned, deglaze with beer or wine.  Continue browning and deglazing until meat and pot is very brown.  Add a little more liquid then put in sliced carrots and celery along with the canned and packaged soups.  Mix everything well.  Simmer, covered, in a little more wine or beer for an hour or longer.  Then let everything 'rest' a while.


After another hour or so, chop the rest of the onion, quarter the potatoes, stir those in, then return everything to a simmer another 1/2 hour or so.  Goes well with biscuits.
