SO HOW'D IT GO?
soooo good thank you
I ended up using a quart of veggie broth. I think it was a good amount of liquid, but my boyfriend said it could've done with a little less. I didn't have a zucchini, so I used two carrots instead. For the mushrooms, I used one portobello cap. We liked this a lot! :)
DELICIOUS!!! Very tasty & satisfying. I'm keeping this recipe.
It was very thick & I added extra broth too.
Keda's picture is once again gorgeous, so I didn't take a pic.
very rich and tasty! ;)b
it was too thick though, more like a stew. so i added 6 cups of water (it didn't even need stock because it's so flavourful). i'm cutting back on salt so i didn't use it at all and still enjoyed it. thanks!
