This recipe was fantastic. I added some diced tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, zucchinni. I like alot of vegies. I didn't use the bouillon cubes. I'm on a gluten free diet. I cooked it on high for 2 hours and slow cooked it for 6. Very delicious. I will definitely be freezing this and eating it for breakfast as well.Thank you for such a great recipe.
