Delicious

This stew is great, even for guests. I also made it adding chicken and some dry sherry, and my entire family enjoyed it.

Slow Cooker Winter Vegetabel Stew

This is one of the best recipes I've ever tried! Absolutely delicious! Start it in the evening and let it go all night on low. Check in the morning. You can keep it on low all day, too, until dinner time. Vegetables did not get soggy, either. Even better the following day after it's had time to sit and enhance the flavours. Loved it!!
