What's the name of that French stew you keep adding ingredients to?

It can go on for days, adding ingredients as the volume gets low, but it usually has white beans and sausages, and I've made it with kale and carrots and funny-shaped noodles... I think the name starts with a "C", but my memory has taken the morning off. Thanks.

You are thinking of "cassoulet," perhaps. It consists of white beans, sausage, duck, etc.





But the stew that you "keep adding ingredients to" is called "pot au feu" (pot at the fire) and comes from an era when NOTHING was thrown away.





Hope I helped out a little.
