Notes
Additions and Substitutions
This stew is super versatile, you can swap in any vegetables you have on hand. I made my stew with carrots, green beans, sweet potatoes, corn, and peas - but feel free to add any others in your fridge. Broccoli, mushrooms, asparagus, or cauliflower are all good options that would be awesome to add to this stew.
