  1. This is a wonderful, hearty stew. I made it and took the lot of it to work for a pot-luck. I used beef broth which is enhanced by the flavor of the red wine. I prepared everything ahead of time according to your recipe except for adding the spinach. I heated up the stew in the crockpot at work, then added the spinach. Turned out perfectly. The cinnamon gave a unique and delicious flavor. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
     
  2. I've made this recipe a couple times using ground beef because I usually can't think far enough ahead to prepare stew meat and I need something ready in an hour. I just brown the ground beef with the stated seasonings and go from there. I like to add halved or quartered brussel sprouts to mine. Cinnamon truly is the secret ingredient that makes this stew stand out over the others that I make - my husband still hasn't guessed what that flavor is. This is one of those recipes that is even better as leftovers the next day! I highly recommend this nutritious, filling stew!

  4. This soup is not only delish, but appears to have medicinal properties as well. The hearty sqaush fills you up, the combintaion of the herbs make your feel warm and comfy inside, and actually makes you feel better if you are feeling under the weather when you makes this. Wonderful!
