  1. I made this for dinner tonight and loved it. I had a sense it would be a keeper just based on the recipe so I made a double batch and we have several bags going into the freezer for future use. Thank you for sharing.

  2. My husband and I love this! We have a beef and barley stew that we enjoy during the fall and winter and this is the perfect replacement for the spring and summer 🙂

  3. This is a hearty meal! I made the 6 serving version and switched from my skillet to my large pot to my enormous stock pot (the biggest LeCreuset one that you can get non-commercially) 😉 It made enough food for 3 meals!! I love that it’s packed with veggies and broth. Tons of nutrients!
