Hello, cold winter night! I've been waiting for you with this beef stew recipe. Based on a WW recipe, this stew is both hearty and healthy. Don't like mushrooms? Try tossing in some sliced potatoes or sweet potatoes instead! It makes 6 servings at about 8 pts each. Here's how Mama makes it:

- 1 (12 oz) can tomato paste
- 2 c. water

2. Add meat and cook, stirring, until well-browned.
3. Stir in remaining ingredients. Simmer, covered, for 45 minutes.

Annalyn loved this one too!
I chopped the ingredients into small pieces for finger foods
and spoon fed her some of the soup.
*Fun fact - babies can eat mushrooms around 8-10 months old
as long as they are cooked well.*
