Simmer for 20 minutes longer, or until vegetables are tender.
-
Drain the meat and vegetables, reserving the cooking liquid.

Heat 1 1/2 cups of the reserved cooking liquid to a boil in a saucepan.

Mix flour and cold water thoroughly in a small bowl to form a slurry.

Slowly stir the flour mixture into the boiling liquid.

To freeze, divide the mixture into four baking pans (for 6 servings each).
