Recipe Note
(little hint) I have a secret ingredient in every single savory recipe I prepare. Season Salt. I use the Simply Organic "all-seasons salt". I usually just place a few shakes in. If you choose to use Lawry's season salt, be aware of the ingredients in comparison to the organic brand I am recommending.
This stew requires a very long cooking time. I love to place this small recipe in the tiniest crock pot. I would recommend starting this stew at the beginning of the day and allowing it to cook until evening. Throughout the day once or twice, gently press a bit of the soup ingredients against the inside of the crock pot. Then stir. This is what will give your soup the thick, stew like consistency. If you do not mash a few bits, then it will not achieve the thickness of stew.
