Step 1
Start by setting your slow cooker to High and pour in just enough water to cover the bottom. Toss in the carrots and let them cook until they’re almost tender, which should take about an hour. Next, add the condensed soups to the carrots. Use one of the empty soup cans to measure some water and stir it in until the soup thins out to a broth-like consistency. Then, mix in the celery, potatoes, and onion. Sprinkle the cumin, pepper, basil, garlic, mustard, and dill weed over the veggies, give everything a good stir, and season with salt to taste.

Step 2
Place the pork tenderloin on top of the vegetables—if it’s too big, just cut it in half so it fits comfortably. Cover the slow cooker and keep it on High for another 4 hours. The pork should be just slightly pink inside, and if you check with a thermometer, it should read at least 145°F (63°C). When it’s done, take the pork out, slice it into chunks, and stir it back into the stew. Let everything simmer for a bit if you want it thicker or just serve it right away.
Why you’ll love it
This stew is rich and comforting, with a perfect balance of bold peppery flavors and tender meat. Slow cooking makes the pork melt-in-your-mouth soft, creating a hearty meal that warms you from the inside out.
How to serve
Serve this stew over creamy mashed potatoes or buttered egg noodles to soak up the delicious sauce. A side of crusty bread and a simple green salad will add freshness and texture to the meal.
Storage & leftovers
Let the stew cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze well for up to 3 months. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave until warmed through.
