Mom's Southwestern Vegetable Stew Recipe

"Not sure how southwestern authentic this recipe really is, since its one of my mothers and she was raised in WI and lived her adult life in MN. :) But it is tasty. I have added stew meat on several occasions and browned ground beef a time or two and that is delicious also. I have made it without the olives and mushrooms and it was just as tasty. I have even added some drained mexican corn to it for some more color. So as you can see, you can change it up quite a bit! Have fun, make it your own and I hope you enjoy! "
