Comforting Vegetable Beef Stew

From Augusta Locally Grown

<p>This is a simple, easy old-fashioned stew that will warm your soul. You can use boxed, or canned broth or make your own with water and beef bullion. Next time I make this I will probably use a full head of cabbage because I love cabbage. You can add a pinch or two of salt if you want. Use medium/larger potatoes or 3 smaller ones.</p>
