I have been reducing my meat intake as part of following an alkaline diet, but when I do consume meat, I love this hearty beef vegetable stew. As the weather turns colder here in the United States, warm soups and stews and a great way to get a lot of nutrients and help you keep warm.
I also love this recipe because it can be easily adapted to add or change vegetables or can be completely vegetarian or vegan by just eliminating the beef and adding more veggies.
Instead of using beef, add cabbage to the stew to get more of the benefits of cruciferous vegetables.
