# Étapes de préparation:

01 - Finely dice onion and potatoes, mince garlic, chop carrots into 2–3 cm pieces, and slice zucchini into 2–5 cm pieces. Peel and dice tomatoes if using fresh. If using meat, cut into bite-sized cooked pieces.
02 - In a large stockpot over medium heat, melt the butter. Add onion, garlic, potatoes, and carrots. Stir frequently for approximately 5 minutes until onions are translucent.
03 - Pour in the chicken broth. Cover and cook for 15 minutes until potatoes and carrots are tender.
04 - Incorporate diced zucchini, tomatoes, corn with liquid, optional chicken or ham, sage, and all-purpose seasoning. Cook uncovered 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until stew is hot and gently simmering.
05 - Reduce heat. Reserve 2–3 tablespoons of evaporated milk. Add remaining evaporated milk to the pot. Mix reserved evaporated milk with cornstarch until smooth, then stir into the stew. Simmer another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
06 - Ladle stew into serving bowls. Sprinkle each bowl with grated Parmesan cheese and, if desired, fresh diced cherry tomatoes. Serve immediately.
