I made this with one banana, 2/3 cup oatmeal, cranberry raisins, and salt substitute. That made five cookies a quick way to use a banana that was going bad.

The other reviews were right about it being a bit bland and also not enough liquid in the recipe. I used 8 cups of chicken stock total, loaded it with some extra veggies and it should be pretty good. I

The first time I did this recipe, I stuck pretty close to it as written. My wife loved it, much better than her dad’s tomato-based stew. I change it up every time I make it now, usually leaving out potatoes, adding mushrooms, red wine, garlic, and egg noodles. It’s always a winner.Note: you can get the stew done in less time using an instant pot or other pressure cooker. Do the first step with a 15 minute pressure cook and 15 wait before releasing steam. I’ve done this with tougher cuts of meat and they’ve come out great.

It’s not done yet but I can tell this is gonna be fantastic. I substituted sweet potatoes for regular potatoes, added a couple teaspoons of minced garlic, and about a cup and a half of chunky applesauce to a doubled recipe of the soup. Even before the vegetables are cooked, the broth has incredibly nice flavor. I’m using two butternut squash freshly picked from the garden.… and now it’s done and the flavor is amazing. The applesauce adds just a bit of sweet brightness.Tips on peeling the squash were helpful. Pierce the skin and microwave for 2 minutes, and peeling with a vegetable peeler is pretty easy.

Great recipe - quick, easy and delicious. My wife “does not eat fish” but loves this dish. Made just as shown except used bottled lemon juice. I am trying a variation using diced tomatoes and green chili peppers.

Easy to make but very fatty.
