Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'hearty' (satisfying, nourishing) with 'stew' (a simmered dish); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer a thick, filling, nutritious stew. This adjectival + noun composition is a regular, cross-linguistic pattern with no idiomatic shift, so the phrase is immediately comprehensible from its parts.
Etymology
The noun hearty stew comes from hearty meaning 'strong' or 'full' and stew meaning a dish cooked slowly. Picture a big pot of meat and vegetables that warms you and 'fills you up', so the phrase now means a thick, filling, and good-for-you meal.
