No Meat Stew

This is a great recipe. You can make it as is for a side dish or it's good enough to be a stand-alone meal, just increase the ingredients and add some bread or rice to compliment it. You can add your own favorite veggies and meat as well. My sister loves to add mushrooms to hers, and we like to add yellow and red bell peppers to ours, so feel free to experiment! That's what I really love about this recipe, it's simple, but so easy to add and it just keeps getting better!
