Cozy Up with "Slumgoli": A Hearty One-Pot Stew Packed with Comfort and Nutrition

The holidays make me want comfort food....

Here is my grandparent's "Slumgoli" This charming word was derived by my Grandfather(after some Texas Pride Beer) from the original Slumgullion which is an American one pot beef Stew.  I try to keep my beef intake down to once per week, but this soup is a superb way to have a protein and veggie packed meal.

6 cups beef broth

1/2 cup red wine

4 Russet Potatoes or 6 Red Potatoes

4 Carrots

4  Celery stalks

3 TBSP Tomato Paste

1-2 Fresh Rosemary Sprigs

1-2 TBSP cornstarch

1/2 cup Peas
