Alaskan Stew

Submitted by BabushkaBlue

"This dish isn't from Alaska and I don't have any idea why we called it that, we just did. My kids loved this soup and there were very few ways to get them to love vegetables, so I made it often. It's a little bit like Weight Watcher's soup, but with more potatoes. I add the brown sugar to take the acid out of the tomato sauce."
