Mouthwatering Rutabaga Stew: Take Your Taste Buds

My mom has been making rutabaga soup for many years and it is by far the best stew I have ever tasted. It is hearty, filling, and inexpensive — not to mention extremely delicious and fairly easy to make. The hardest and most time-consuming part of this stew is preparing the vegetables. I chop and dice all my vegetables by hand so it can take a little bit more time, but it is very much worth the extra effort it takes. Pork, beef, or venison are all good in this recipe too.
