Serve hot with crusty Italian bread or your favorite side dish.
For an even richer flavor, brown the stew meat in a skillet with a little olive oil before adding it to the slow cooker.
Consider adding other vegetables like parsnips, turnips, or green beans to customize your stew.
A splash of red wine vinegar or Worcestershire sauce can add depth to the flavor.
If you prefer a thicker stew, mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with a little cold water to form a slurry and stir it into the slow cooker during the last hour of cooking.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.

Dec 11, 2024I found the soup mix a little too salty for my taste, so I reduced it by half and added some extra herbs instead.
