I used lots of leftover vegies in this plus an extra potato and it worked out well - great mid week meal, very filling and enjoyable. Loved the cheese on top too.

*Made for Australia/NZ Swap #58* twas a chilly, damp night -- just right for a warm pot of stew and biscuits ! I followed the recipe except for adding additional potato and broth. It took a little longer than I expected for the potatoes to soften, but the aroma made up for it ! All the flavors melded nicely, and I DID have enough for another meal. Thanks for posting, morgaingeiser.

Lowfat and healthy, yet tasty and filling. I also loved that this stew is made from everyday kitchen staple ingredients. I didn't sprinkle with the parmesan....it really didn't need it. I thoroughly enjoyed this as a meatless stew, but for those whode husbands love meat, I thik ham or sausage would be great in this. Thanx for sharing!

A great meatless meal or side. I used fresh herbs but otherwise did as directed. This is rich tasting but quite low in fat and calories.
