This was an excellent dish, loved the flavor. The only thing I added was green chillis and bacon I had cooked for another dish. Everyone just raved and raved about it. Thanks

Very good, my mother made this a lot as I was growing up, I think she put celery in also but this is so close I can't tell any difference. I had a friend over and he ate 3 big bowls. Thank you, will definately make again!
