1 cup (medium) of Mixed Vegetable Stew (200 g) has 90 calories. That works out to 45 calories per 100 g. It contains 16.4 g of carbs, 3.4 g of protein, 1.4 g of fat and 5.2 g of fiber. Its 640 µg of Vitamin A covers 71% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 40 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Mixed Vegetable Stew is a home-style dish of vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, zucchini, green beans, peas and tomatoes simmered together in a thick, tomato-coloured broth. The combination varies with the season and what is on hand, so it can be adapted easily.
The vegetables turn tender while keeping some shape, and the broth is gently savoury with a little sweetness from the vegetables. It is served hot as a simple main or side dish; bread, rice or a spoonful of yogurt make natural accompaniments. With plenty of vegetables and relatively few calories, it is a light, fibre-containing choice. Use a modest amount of oil and avoid overcooking if you prefer distinct pieces.

Mixed vegetable stew is made by gently cooking onion, adding chopped vegetables and broth or water, then simmering until tender. Add firm vegetables such as carrots and potatoes first, and quicker-cooking zucchini or peas later so they keep their shape.
Mixed vegetable stew commonly includes carrots, potatoes, zucchini, green beans, peas, and tomatoes. You can swap in seasonal vegetables, but cut them into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly.
Mixed vegetable stew pairs well with crusty bread, rice, or couscous, which can soak up its broth. For a more substantial meal, serve it with a simple green salad or a protein-rich side such as beans.
Yes, mixed vegetable stew can be frozen in airtight, meal-sized containers once it has cooled. Thaw it in the refrigerator and reheat it thoroughly; potatoes may become softer or slightly grainy after freezing.
Mixed vegetable stew keeps for about three to four days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Cool it promptly after cooking, and reheat only the portion you plan to eat.
To keep vegetables from getting mushy in mixed vegetable stew, cut them into generous chunks, simmer gently, and avoid frequent stirring. Add peas and zucchini toward the end because they cook faster than carrots and potatoes.
Yes, frozen vegetables work well in mixed vegetable stew and usually do not need to be thawed first. Add them later than fresh, firm vegetables and allow the stew to return to a simmer before checking for tenderness.
You can thicken mixed vegetable stew by simmering it uncovered so some liquid evaporates. For a fuller texture, mash a few cooked potato pieces into the broth instead of adding flour or cornstarch.
Yes, canned vegetables can be used in mixed vegetable stew, but they are already cooked and may soften quickly. Drain and rinse them, then stir them in near the end just long enough to heat through.
Make mixed vegetable stew more filling by adding cooked chickpeas, beans, or lentils, or serve it with bread or rice. Add cooked legumes near the end so they warm through without breaking apart.
