Burgoo is a soup made from chicken, beef and vegetables, cooked for several hours until the flavors have blended and the ingrediaents have become a thick stew. Its origins are said to have come from the hills of Kentucky.
Each October the small central Illinois community of Utica stages a Burgoo Festival. Gerald Hulslander from the LaSalle County Historical Museum, which stages the event, speaks with us about the origins of Burgoo locally and what happens each year at their Burgoo Festival (especially how the community pot of burgoo is prepared).
We try (without success) to garner some of the sceret ingredients that make the local version of Burgoo special to thsoe who keep coming back every year.
