1 1/2 pounds baby carrots
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, cut in quarters or eighths, depending on size

1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes, including juices
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In a very large Dutch oven, stir water, beef boullion and tapioca until combined. Stir in salt, pepper, basil and garlic. (You're essentially making the base for the "sauce")
