1 cup (medium) of Mixed vegetable stew (180 g) has 99 calories. That works out to 55 calories per 100 g. It contains 18.9 g of carbs, 3.8 g of protein, 1.1 g of fat and 5.8 g of fiber. Its 576 µg of Vitamin A covers 64% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 35 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Mixed vegetable stew brings together vegetables such as carrots, peas, potatoes and bell pepper, gently cooked in a thick, tomato-based broth. It is a flexible home-style dish rather than a recipe tied to one particular place; the mix often changes with the season or what is on hand. The vegetables should be tender but still hold their shape, with the tomato lending a mild, savoury sweetness.
Serve it warm as a light main, or alongside a heartier meal; bread or rice makes an easy pairing. It contributes fibre and a range of vitamins, while remaining low in fat. A 100 g portion has 3.2 g of fibre. For a lighter pot, use oil sparingly and let the vegetables’ own flavours come through.

Carrots, potatoes, peas, bell peppers, and tomatoes are a good base for mixed vegetable stew. Add seasonal vegetables such as zucchini or green beans too, but account for their different cooking times so none turn mushy.
Mixed vegetable stew is made by gently cooking chopped vegetables in a tomato-based broth until tender. Start with aromatics and firmer vegetables, then add quicker-cooking ones later; simmer rather than boil to keep the pieces intact.
Serve mixed vegetable stew with crusty bread, rice, or a simple grain side to soak up the tomato broth. A crisp green salad or a spoonful of yogurt also makes a refreshing contrast to the soft vegetables.
Yes, mixed vegetable stew can be made without tomatoes. Use vegetable stock or water with herbs and a little lemon for brightness; add the liquid gradually so the vegetables simmer without the broth tasting thin.
Cut the potatoes into fairly large, even pieces and add them with the firmer vegetables. Keep mixed vegetable stew at a gentle simmer, avoid frequent stirring, and add delicate vegetables later so the potatoes hold their shape.
Yes, beans make mixed vegetable stew more substantial. Stir in cooked or canned beans near the end, allowing them to heat through without breaking apart; drain and rinse canned beans first to remove excess brine.
Thyme, oregano, parsley, and bay leaf all complement mixed vegetable stew. Use sturdy dried herbs during simmering, then finish with fresh parsley for a brighter flavor; avoid adding too many strong herbs at once.
To thicken mixed vegetable stew, simmer it uncovered so excess liquid evaporates, or mash a few cooked potato pieces into the broth. These methods keep the stew’s texture hearty without needing to blend all the vegetables.
Yes, mixed vegetable stew freezes well, though potatoes may become softer after thawing. Cool it promptly, portion it into airtight freezer containers, and reheat it until steaming; stirring gently helps preserve the vegetable pieces.
Mixed vegetable stew generally keeps for 3–4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Refrigerate it once it has cooled, rather than leaving it out for an extended period, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
