  Cooked this last week and making again today, full of flavour and very healthy ... easy and quick to make. I doubled up and it was even better the next day. I also added some celery and red pepper as had it in the fridge. Might add a bit of white wine today.

  Very disappointing. I thought it bland and I used a good home-made stock.
