For a thicker, calcium rich stew I added a few tablespoons of chia seeds. Otherwise, I followed athena girls suggestions and it was delicious!

I alternated this recipe somewhat based on other reviews and this was seriously delicious, not to mention absurdly simple. I only had one of each vegetable so I added a little leek and a stalk of celery. Instead of the rice I added 1/4 cup of barley. I tossed everything into a pot with 4 cups of water, 2tbl peanut butter, 1tsp ginger and 1tbl soy sauce and let it do its magic. It was a tad thick at the end of its cooking time so I added about 1/2 cup of veg broth. I'm really looking forward to eating some leftovers tomorrow! On top of it being so satisfying, per serving, it is low in calories and fat. You won't be disappointed!

I made this for the first time, and it was excellent. I used sweet potatoes, instead of the white. I thought it gave it some added flavor. It is quick and easy to make!

This is very satisfying. I have made is several times and really just add the veggies that I have on hand or that I can find at the local store. I also add some type a bean that I have available to make is a little more hearty...

Wonderful! Very satisfying. If it seems bland to you, then just add your favorite spice, problem solved! I didn't have parsnip or turnips, but I'll add them next time and I'm sure it will still be delicious. Also, in addition to the water I added a couple of cans of vegetable broth, and I added a couple of diced tomatoes (can't have stew without them!), and of course garlic (I have to add it to everything!). It was fabulous and can't wait to make again!

Excellently customizable stew. The vegetables all blend very well together and are just waiting for a couple of your own spices. I've done this recipe a few times, this time I added jalepeno and chili peppers because I like it spicier and increased the cumin and supplemented with tumeric because I like the Indian flavor. But you can do whatever you want with it, I've tried very different things and it always comes out well as long as you experiment a little. Very fun to make!

I left out the rice and turnip, added a sweet potato as well as regular potatoes, and added more parsnips. I also added the 2 tbsp PB, soy sauce and ginger, and dipped a hand blender in to puree half of it. So good!!
