Instructions
Prep veggies, washing, peeling, and cutting as necessary.
In large skillet or Dutch heat olive oil and brown beef. I add salt, pepper, and garlic powder in this step.
Add garlic, onions, and celery. Saute with browned beef until softened–5 min.
Add chicken broth to cover. Add carrots, butternut squash, and sweet potatoes. Bring to a boil then reduce heat. Simmer 5-10 minutes.
Add squash and zucchini. Simmer 5 minutes.
Add mixed veggies and green peas. Stir to incorporate. Add water to cover if needed. Simmer 5 minutes.
Add canned tomatoes. Season stew with dry ingredients, stirring well. Continue simmering stew until it reaches desired doneness.
Add essential oils and stir well. Taste, adding salt and pepper to adjust seasoning to your taste.
