Reviews
Very good basic recipe. I made some changes due to missing a couple of ingredients. I used Herbs de Province in place of thyme & marjoram. I added my garden roasted cherry tomatoes. I didn’t have potatoes. I used the juices from 2 roasted chickens that I saved along with both chicken and vegetable stock in equal measure to the recipe. I didn’t add peas. It was delicious!
Delicious and I even forgot the peas! I used 1/2 vegetable broth and 1/2 chicken stock, and with the flavorings, it was so tasty… ham, potatoes, cabbage… delish! Will definitely make again!
I have made this recipe 3 times now and we love it! It’s very easy to do and very delicious. I think it is a good recipe for adding or substituting your favorite vegetables or meat but I only have done it exactly as it is.
