American Vegetable Stew

This recipe is so quick and easy and the veggies retain a lot of texture since you aren't cooking them to death. I add the first veggies to the pot and then cover with water plus about 1/2" and that gives me about the consistancy I like. More water will give you more of a soup than a stew. The veggies are really up to you. I forgot to buy broccoli today, so I threw in a couple handfuls of frozen green beans and added about a cup of shredded cabbage. I also used 2 carrots and a couple small potatoes instead of one each. This recipe is really just a jumping off point. =) Use whatever you like.
