How do you know the amount of liquid to add to a stew so that you have a good consistency?
There is no right or wrong, it is whatever makes you look at it and say "Stew!" or "Soup!" and when you say that you grin and reach for a utensil to start eating!
It's stew, not rocket surgery. Simply simmer it until it reaches the desired thickness. That will also concentrate the flavours, unlike adding a thickening agent.
I wasn't talking to the original poster, I was talking to the people who were coming up with all these wild and crazy ways for the original poster to thicken the stew.That ^ was an unnecessary and unkind comment to someone who asked a reasonable question, especially with the screen name "Learning2Cook45".
