Note

The ingredient list mentions "With roasted garlic and herbs" and "/4 ounces" which likely refers to a specific variety or amount of the cream of mushroom soup or pierogies. Use standard cream of mushroom soup unless you have a specific flavored variety on hand.

For a richer flavor, you can substitute the water mixed with the soup with chicken broth.

If you prefer a thicker stew, reduce the amount of water added to the soup mixture slightly.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water or broth if the stew has thickened too much.

Feel free to swap the peas and carrots for other frozen vegetable mixes or seasonal vegetables like green beans or corn.
