Vegetable soup or a beefy vegetable soup or a wet beef stew , your call. :lol:
Warning... I start this at 11 AM and it is ready around 5 PM.
1.... Start out with a large pot , really large , add some olive oil , your choice on the amount. ( I make sure the bottom is covered) Then when it is hot add about 1 1/2 pounds of beef stew chunks. Throw in some salt an pepper and brown the meat.
( a few of your favorite spices does not hurt anything at this time )
2....When the meat is browned all around add a couple cups of water , now the work beings. :wink:
3.... Slice up an onion and add it to the pot.
4.....Slice up a small head of cabbage and add it to the pot.
4 &1/2.. Might want to add a little more water and let this cook for a couple of hours.
5....After a few hours then add some corn and carrots , slice the carrots up and the corn can be one of those frozen packs of it , the ice in it adds some more water. Stir it and forget it for an hour or so.
6....About two hours before you want to eat it add a frozen pack or Garden peas , Some string beans ( the green ones ) and some limas.
NOTE .. Make sure you take them out of the package.
Now slice and dice up a couple of potatoes into half inch chunks and add them.
( for myself I add some okra , the wife hates it , I love it )
Stir and continue simmering for about two hours........
NOW the fun starts........
Get some bowels out of the cupboard , fill them with this and enjoy with a good loaf of bread , garlic butter and your favorite beverage.
The left overs ... there will be some , trust me on that if you have done it right ... seal them in a container and put them in the frig , this is a lot better the next day.
Even better put some in a freezer bag roll it into a log and freeze it then when going camping take a log of it with you , reheat and eat. Home cooking without the troubles when camping.
Guess what we are having for supper ... Yep , I can smell that delicious smell of it cooking ( simmering) in the kitchen while I'm here on the computer.

PS. In this I don't flour the meat and make a roux so I guess it is more of a soup then a stew. You could use a slow cooker but that takes all the fun out of it.
