This stew is my all time favorite. The combination of beans and potatoes lend such a wonderful creamy texture. Plus, the addition of fresh veggies don’t make you feel so bad about having two starches in the same soup!
I’m a frugal person. A strong believer that brand name foods are not always better than the “off brand”. One thing that I never buy ‘off-brand’ is my tomato sauce. Hunts is the ultimate when buying store bought. It’s thick and bursting with flavor. So pay the extra 50 cents more.
This stew makes me long to own a soup café. One day I dream of nothing more than owning a cozy little café, dishing out delicious soups, stews and of course crusty breads! There’s nothing I love more than standing over a warm stove, stirring up a pot of deliciousness. Yes, I’m one of those crazy people that in the dead heat of summer you can find me latched onto my wooden spoon, stirring a steaming pot of soup.
If you make this delicious, thick stew I ask only one thing of you, make sure you save some for the next day. It is absolutely mind blowing after the ingredients have married for a day or two.
