• ½ cup diced onion
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• 2 tbsp butter
• 2 cups diced potatoes
• 2 cups diced carrots
• 14 oz can chicken broth
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 2 large tomatoes, peeled and diced (or 1 can 14 oz diced tomatoes, not drained)
• 14 oz can corn, not drained
• ½ tsp rubbed sage
• ½ tsp all-purpose seasoning
• 12 oz can evaporated milk
• 2 tbsp cornstarch
• 1 cup diced cooked chicken or ham (optional)
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for topping)
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until fragrant and translucent, about 3–4 minutes.
Stir in potatoes, carrots, and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add zucchini, tomatoes, corn (with liquid), sage, and all-purpose seasoning. Simmer another 10–15 minutes until veggies are tender.
Stir in evaporated milk. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 2 tbsp cold water, then stir into the stew to thicken.
Add chicken or ham if using, and simmer a few more minutes to heat through.
Serve hot, topped with grated Parmesan.
