lol I have to chuckle at some of these comments. This STEW is delicious as is! First of all, it's not a soup, so there's no need to add extra broth. And secondly, you can call it a stew, because all stew means is solid ingredients that have been cooked in liquid. And thirdly, all those people who are saying it lacks seasoning have clearly had their taste buds destroyed by over-processed salty food. A half tsp. salt plus the brats = PLENTY of salt and the other seasonings are just right! (okay, I admit I cut the thyme in half, but only b/c I hate dried thyme and I didn't want to go out to the garden at 11 pm to cut fresh). This recipe needs no changes except a turn of the pepper mill over your bowl. Next time I may use someone else's idea of browning the sliced brats first and then briefly sauteing the veggies in the fat--that's a good idea. Of all the homemade soups and stews I've made, this is the only one that tasted good right out of the pot. I can't imagine what it'll taste like after a night spent in the fridge!!!! So delicious! Forget the tomatoes, forget the potatoes, make it as written and enjoy! Thanks for a GREAT recipe!

Interesting flavors...not too bad. I didn't have onion so I used minced real fresh garlic and threw some chopped tomatoes in too. I will definitely finish the dish, but I'm not sure if I'll remember to make it again. Might taste okay with cumin instead???

good and easy, not extremely flavorful but yummy enough. I used 1 Tbsp. of butter instead of oil...made them less wet and tastier too. done in 15 min. can't understand others with an hour in the oven????
