This one, I let her use the stove top. I explained a slow cook allows the water (or whatever base liquid) to permeate the vegetables and make them softer. The longer the better as the seasonings will also bleed into them while at the same time, their flavor will spread to each other and form the broth.
She cut up half a sweet potato, two carrots and one Roma tomato and threw them into 4 cups (guesstimate - it wasn't actually measured) of water. Then a half teaspoon (all also guesstimates) of chicken bouillon, a pinch of parsley, TSP of onion powder, TSP of salt, a half TSP of garlic powder and a dash of black pepper. Once that started to simmer, we added some (already been cooked) venison burger.

Frign delish! Her intent was to make it for her older brother to take to work. Such a sweetie, had to brag on her. Consider this another promo for
