not absolutely fabulous, but I do believe I will be making it again. The flavors were mild, but tasty. I added cauliflower and kale to the dish and I also used both basil and rosemary. I doubled the tabasco sause as well. The simmer time is somewhat up to your own taste, but I simmered it for about half an hour to an hour and it came out just right for my family. NOTE: I realized after I finished making it, that since you use water AND bouillon, you could simply use broth.

Yum! Lots of flavor! I halved the recipe, but wish I hadn't. I didn't have grape juice on hand, but had just canned some kudzu blossom syrup and it's suppossed to taste like grape juice, so used that. I used both fresh basil and rosemary, omitting the parsley(didn't have). Delicious! I served it over short grain brown rice, for a healthy meal!

I used a few more fresh vegetables than the recipe calls for since I had them on hand. I really didn't expect this much flavor from such a few, simple ingredients and herbs and some white grape juice but the soup/stew is amazingly flavorful. I'm planning to use this recipe again this summer when the garden vegetables are ready. Great contribution, CookbookCarrie.
