A comforting and flavorful one-pot meal inspired by traditional German cuisine.
Bring the water to a boil in a large pot.
Using a lid on the pot will help the water boil faster.
Add the chopped carrots, celery, and onion to the boiling water and cook until they are tender.
Cut the vegetables into evenly sized pieces for uniform cooking.
Add the sliced smoked sausage and diced potatoes to the pot and continue cooking until the potatoes are tender.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Stir in the green beans and cook for an additional 30 minutes.
If using frozen green beans, add them directly without thawing.
Season the stew with salt, pepper, and Maggi seasoning to taste. Serve hot.
Taste the stew before serving to adjust the seasoning as needed.
