Just what I've been looking for! My cook time was under 10 min as I used a pressure cooker, so I will be making this often. I used pre-cut butternut squash, which was SO much easier. It was a bit bland tasting so I added a couple splashes of Chipotle Tabasco, and that made it just right. Thanks Debbwl-<br/>Roxygirl

Really good! I used a whole acorn squash, only 2 potatoes, and omitted the mushrooms. I also added 1/2t of Garam Masala (to add depth) and about 2 cups of leftover recipe #448521. Super yummy, and made about 8 servings which is great for lunches! Thanks for sharing!

You just feel plain good after this dish. It's very hearty, delicious and healthy. All of the veggies went in and the squash was Delicata. Served with a multi grain roll it made a great Fall dinner. I made a half amount and it still made lots for the two of us! If there is something that you don't care for just skip it or replace it with something you do like, the recipe would be very adaptable to almost anything.

This really was a delightfully tasty stew. I made it exactly as written with no adjustments, using the vegetables listed, and I thought it was the perfect dinner after such a cold, snowy day. Thanks, Debbwl.

A fabulous and very hearty stew that fed us for three days! (Only two of us at present.) I used all the suggested veggies and we ate this with fresh crusty French bread and cheese for a lovely winter meal. Made for the Veggies Swap and very much enjoyed thanks Deb! FT:-)
