Notes
Make an optional gravy from the liquid after removing the meat and vegetables by sprinkling 1/2 tsp xanthan gum and string well to combine. Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes until it's thickened. Then, blend smooth with an immersion blender. Later, you can thin it with more broth if the gravy gels too much after resting in the fridge overnight.
