While stirring, gradually add the vegetable broth, and tomatoes.

5
Bring to slight bubble, and then cover to simmer for 15-20 minutes.

Potato will soak into the broth and serve as more of a thickening agent rather than as a solid vegetable for the stew.

However, they may not completey soak into broth.
9
If they dont, this is not a problem!
10
At this time cook your rice, so it has finished cooking by the time your stew is ready.
