Shouldn't there be other stew ingredients like veggies and potatoes and such? Sounds like a yummy base though.

i was thinking the same, maybe this is just a base for a stew that you can "make your own". I know i would add potatoes, carrots, maybe some broccoli and water chestnuts. No celery for this lady though!
