This recipe was so good my husband said he could eat it every night and he's hard to please. It was simple to make and great tasting. We'll have to doulble it next time because we loved it so much. The only thing I might try differently is to cook the meat in the broth first to make it just a bit more tender. Thank you so much for this great recipe!!!
