Pretend Beef Stew

Submitted by SueBelcher

"My grandmother named this soup "Pretend Beef Stew" because, well, basically she messed up making beef stew one night and came up with this. I've added veggies I like, but you can add whatever vegetables you like. Be creative; add some bell peppers or hot peppers, maybe use pulled chicken and chicken broth instead of the beef! Have fun with it!"
