This stew turned out to be delicious. I wanted to quickly put together a meal that would be ready to eat in a short time. The meatballs were fully cooked. The vegetables were cut in chunks or larger pieces and the beef broth and onion soup mix supplied the flavoring. It would be easy to add other ingredients or spices you might happen to have on hand but it's great the way it is.
