  • For extra flavor, you can add a splash of lemon juice before serving.
  • If you prefer a thicker stew, you can mash some of the potatoes in the pot to create a creamier texture.
  • This stew can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for later use.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure the broth and any added ingredients are certified gluten-free.
