- Add the 2 Packages of Mixed Stew Vegetables, 2 Cans of Diced Tomatoes, Diced Potatoes and Beef Broth to the large pot or crock pot and stir the ingredients

Difference Between Soup & Stew Consistency
- If you’re looking for more of a Soup consistency, your work it mostly done. If you’re looking for more of a thicker, Stew consistency you’ll have just a little more work to do.
- For a thicker Stew consistency, you’ll need:
- Medium Sized Bowl
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup of Corn Starch
- 1/4 to 2/3 cup of Water
- Combine Corn Starch and water into the Medium Sized Bowl and Whisk until it becomes a thick liquid. Pour liquid into pot and stir thoroughly. Repeat this step if the stew isn’t thick enough for you.
