Yum! Served over qucinoa. I only had a little squash so I added carrots and jicama. I also added chopped celery when I added the onions.

Oh mercy. We made this just as written and we were amazed. It was so delicious. Just so comforting on a cold winter evening. This has made it into our regular rotation. It was simple, but oh so good. Thank you so much for this recipe!
