  1. This thick and hearty stew was a definite hit that I'll make again. My teenagers usually don't eat zucchini but enjoyed this, which would earn a 6th star if possible! I did make some changes. I used mostly tetra pack chicken broth and some water instead of the bouillon cubes, used ancho chili powder because I can't usually find the dried peppers here, and omitted the yellow squash and lime. Served with crusty bread and hot sauce on the table for those who like the heat. Thanks for a great recipe!
