Veggies & Wine

My sweetheart daughter bought me a brand new crockpot for my birthday so I decided to break it in with a hearty, low-fat, vegan stew. Since this is Christmas week and everyone is off it’s great to have a stew that everyone can dip into when hungry.

Crockpot Veggie Stew

• 5 medium potatoes, diced
• 4 carrots, sliced
• 1 can garbanzo beans
• 1 can kidney beans
• 1 onion, diced
• 1 cup celery, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 cups water (or veggie broth)
• 1 can (6 oz) tomato paste
• 1/2 tsp oregano
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Combine all ingredients in the crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.

Feel free to add addition veggies such as green beans, corn, zucchini, eggplant … the more veggies the better is my motto.
