Few dashes Worcestershire sauce
3 to 4 cups chicken stock

1 cup cooked white rice
Kosher salt

Excellent harvest stew
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love this adaptable spicy stew, slow roasted fresh tomatoes with jalapeno/gardic and leeks. Also added roasted small... mexican meatballs, fresh corn and kale. Very adaptable recipe for cool autumn day. Serve with corn bread for a delightful finish. Read more

This was a great, quick recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We followed the directions, but added a can of corn and some charro beans. We also put some instant brown rice uncooked right... when we started simmering and it came out PERFECT! Took some of the comments advice and used a rotisserie chicken and it couldn't have been better. It makes a lot of servings. For only about $15 to $20 of food we fed about 6 people. This is defiantly one that we're going to make again! Read more

Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I did exactly what the recipe called for, but I added a bag of frozen corn. Made it, let it simmer for 2 hours. Instead of... rice, I crunched up some Snyder Restaurant Style tortilla chips, grated cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. It was really fantastic! Read more

Very easy, very tasty, foolproof
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was quite good for such an easy recipe. I didn't find it too hot at all with two seeded Jalapenos. I prefer something... more like stew than soup, so I didn't put in the full amount of stock, and if I was making it again, would probably add a little bit of pureed tomatoes (6-in-1 brand). But if you want soup, follow the recipe exactly. I'll probably throw in some corn too next time. Read more
