By joeyanne

This has been my mothers beef stew recipe for my whole life. I'm not sure where she got the recipe, but it's been passed around and around. It is very rich and super delicious!

• 12 small red potatoes, halved
• 5 carrots, cut in chunks
• 1 large onion, cut in pieces
• 8 ounces mushrooms, halved if large
• 2 tablespoons dried parsley
• 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
• 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can tomato soup
