This was by far one of the absolute worst things I have ever made. It was entirely flavorless, what a disappointment!

Sure it's a little time consuming chopping veggies, but I really enjoyed this stew. At least for your effort you've got several meals. I have a vegetarian friend, so it was prefect for her as well. The beauty of something like this is that you can change up the veggies and spices to your liking and seasons.
