Add the garlic and stir constantly for 2 minutes. Add the broth, chili powder, cilantro, mustard, salt and pepper, and stir well to combine.
  • Step 3
    Bring the stew to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a medium simmer. Cook for 35-40 minutes, and then add corn and kidney beans. Cover and cook for an additional 15 minutes.
