Ingredients
  

3 cups vegetable broth

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (with their juice)

2 cups carrots, chopped into bite-sized pieces

2 cups potatoes, diced (feel free to use your favorite variety)

1 cup celery, finely chopped

1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into smaller pieces

1 cup corn (you can use fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 bay leaf

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Begin by heating the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté them together until the onion turns soft and translucent, which should take about 3–4 minutes.

    Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic mixture to your crockpot. Then pour in the vegetable broth and add the diced tomatoes along with their juice.

      Next, add in the diced carrots, potatoes, chopped celery, green beans, and corn to the crockpot, ensuring all the veggies are well combined.

        Sprinkle in the dried thyme, basil, and oregano, then season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Introduce the bay leaf and the apple cider vinegar, which will enhance the dish’s flavor profile.

          Cover your crockpot with its lid and set it to cook on low heat for 6–8 hours, or on high for 3–4 hours, until all the vegetables are tender and flavorful.

            After cooking, carefully remove the bay leaf from the mixture. Taste the stew and adjust any seasoning if needed.

              Serve the hearty vegetable delight hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley to enhance both the look and flavor of the dish.

                Presentation Tips:
