This stew has tons of vegetables, but it’s pretty sweet so most kids like it. I like to make it when families come over because most kids will eat it. I generally like recipes that don’t require so many ingredients because I’m always in a hurry, but it really doesn’t take that long – maybe 20 minutes of prep. After that it doesn’t require a lot of attention.
We usually do a soup or stew with a salad for dinner, and as a result our kids have never had a problem going “#2”. I can’t believe how many parents tell me it’s an issue with their kids. Soups and stews like this are an easy way to fix that quickly. Cabbage is especially good for digestion.
