My recipe. Disclaimer: I let my ancestors guide me, so there are no measurements. 🤷🏾♀️🧿 Sauté finely chopped 1 yellow onion 4 stalks of celery 3 gloves of garlic Next add 2lbs of chuck beef. I seasoned the beef prior to adding to the aforementioned. Seasonings: garlic powder, onion powder, #braggsliquidaminos #worchestershiresauce #thyme #parsley #redpepperflakes #pinksalt Cook the meat down to your desired readiness. Add 2-4 cans of diced tomatoes. Add 4-10 cups of water One 1 cup of beef or chicken broth. Add 3 bay leaves! 🍃 Add fresh cut potatoes. Bring to boil, then simmer... Shhhh🤫 ancestors are entering here. Once the potatoes are close to tender, add one bag of mixed vegetables, one packet of beef stew seasoning, and 1 can of tomato paste. 2 tablespoon of sugar/monk fruit. Whatever you use to sweeten your meals, ‘cause that’s your business. Now the magic, add one pack of beef stew mix. 6th pic. I like this cause it has lentils and rice in it. #hearty Add this towards the end of the soup is ready, because it doesn’t take long for lentils and rice to cook. You don’t want to over cook your veggies. Continue to simmer, stirring Occasionally. Go into prayer. Our ancestors are still here. Offer them a spoon to sample this greatness. They will tell you if you need more or less of anything. Let them guide you. This will simmer for 1 hour. And turn off the stove and let it rest! Ase! #locsofsage #asé #homeiswhereyourheartis #goodeats #vegetablebeefstew https://www.instagram.com/p/CLXnoFnhF6S/?igshid=eini030gxe60
