I understand this sentiment, but I had the veggies in the cupboard and wanted to use them up. I've made other stews that use gold potatoes sliced, and fresh mushrooms, but I had all the ingredients ready to go. It turned out fine. And yes, if you over cook it, the veggies can turn to mush. Also, I add just a little corn starch at the end to tighten it up just a bit. It was very tasty, hit the spot.
Oh, sometimes if you want the stew to have some spicy kick, I add mexican pickled carrots. They're wonderful, but a little dab will do ya.
