Vegetable Stew

There's nothing like a hot bowl of stew, especially now that it's winter! When I was trying to decide what to make for dinner last week, I was going through my fridge and noticed a lot of my fresh produce was beginning to wither. I hate throwing away food if I can help it, so I whipped up the vegetables in this delicious stew. You can really add any of your favorite veggies to this soup which makes for a great money-saving and hearty meal.
