I wish that this would have been a little soupier. I found myself adding water a couple of times. I would cook the veggies a little longer...a little too crunchy for me. Very easy to throw together. I think I might add some Rotel to give it kick. I must say, I didn't know what a capsicum is. I added a red bell pepper since I wasn't sure which type, but I don't know if that was the right taste. All in all, this one is definitely being added to my cookbook. I will be making it again.

Fantastic. A neighbour friend brought this over to us one night when we had a newborn baby. So glad I have the recipe now, it turned out great when I made it, too. As you are an Aussie, I assumed you meant powdered chillies, not American "chili powder" which is a spice blend (and which usually requires large quantities to impart any flavour). I used Herbie's Chipotle Chilli, slightly less than the 1/2 tsp. Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. Don't forget the salt at the end, it makes the flavours POP!

<br>I can?t think of anything more relaxing than drooling over cookbooks..... I love 'em all; well the ones with pictures are at the top of my list. I have a huge collection of fundraiser type cookbooks from schools and country towns from all around Australia. These books contain many tried and true old-fashioned family favourites.
