    First of, the recipe makes a ton. I cut the amount in half and still made a lot of soup. The vinegar give a nice sour taste. However to me the raisins do not go here. It's not my favorite.

    This is the best stew I had in a very long time!!! I absolutely LOVED it and so did my husband. I opted to add 2 large chicken breasts which I cut up and cooked in the pot with the oil and then added the ingredients per the recipe. I also added about 1 tsp cajon seasoning to the chicken while it was cooking and another teaspoon to the stew once all the ingredients were added. Finally, I served it over the noodle like couscous rather than the grain type couscous. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! Definitely give it a shot!

    This was really a hit with the whole family, even my 15-year-old brother who was skeptical at having "just vegetables" for dinner. No fresh thyme on hand, so I used herbes de provence, which were perfect. Served over cous cous, it's hearty, healthy and comforting. A keeper, for sure!
