If you’re all slow like me and are looking to make the whole 10-minute thing and not just 5-minute stew, cut your potatoes and carrots into bite-size morsels. Go ahead and cut-up your onion, too, but note, I forgot to buy an onion this time, so I used dried minced onion–and it still turned-out great.
Put your potatoes, carrots, onions and every can of veggies (including the water in the can) you’ve got into a big pot. If you’re using meat, put your cooked-meat in at this time, too!
Add 2 more cans of water from the tap, if you’ve still got room in the pot.
Add salt, pepper, garlic and stock.
Boil until the potatoes and carrots are soft to your liking.
Enjoy!
