Turkey (or Beef) and Vegetable Stew

Longtime and enthusiastic Scramble member Sandra Simmons trusted us with her grandmother’s “magic” soup recipe. We've tweaked it a little but the soup is nourishing and absolutely delicious.

Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. ground turkey, beef, or meatless crumbles
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 1/4 green cabbage chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 2 carrots sliced
  • 1 green or red bell pepper chopped
  • 3 - 4 stalks celery sliced, or peeled and diced celeriac/celery root (about 1 cup)
  • 15 oz. diced fire-roasted tomatoes
  • 2 cups reduced-sodium beef or vegetable broth
  • 15 oz. canned kidney beans with their liquid
  • ½ cup fresh parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a large stockpot, brown the meat over medium heat, and drain the grease, if necessary (a turkey baster works well for this).
  • Add the onions and cabbage and sauté them until they are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the remaining ingredients, bring it to a boil, partially cover it and reduce the heat to keep it at a simmer.
  • Cook it for 15 – 20 minutes until the carrots are as tender as you like them, stirring occasionally.
  • Serve it immediately, or refrigerate it for up to 3 days, or freeze it for up to 3 months.

Slow Cooker Directions

  • Omit beef broth altogether, or reduce it to 1 cup if you like a stew with lots of liquid. Add all other ingredients to the slow cooker, and cook it on low for 5 hours or high for 3 hours.

Notes

Do Ahead or Delegate:  Chop the onion, the cabbage and the bell pepper, slice the carrots and the celery or fully prepare and refrigerate or freeze the recipe.
Tip:  To chop cabbage, remove tough outer leaves, then cut it into quarters through the core, and slice out the tough core before chopping it.
Scramble Flavor Booster:  Sauté 1 – 2 tsp. garlic with the onions and cabbage.
