If at any point during cooking - bottom of pot is getting dry, add more veggie broth - a tablespoon at a time.

- Add the chopped fresh dill and season with salt or no salt seasoning.
- Cook a few minutes more and then remove the bay leaves and serve.
Notes
If trying to limit salt in your diet: I highly recommend Benson's Table Tasty. It is the best tasting salt substitute I have found. It has no salt, MSG, preservatives, or potassium chloride.
Leftovers: Store leftover stew in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze in portions using a Souper Cube.
