This was delicious! My fiance (the vegetarian) and I (the carnivore) loved it - it was earthy, substantial and flavourful! We made a few tiny adjustments - we used a handful of brown rice instead of the potato, and after the 10 hours of cooking, we added an extra 2 cups or so of broth, and almost double the lemon juice, as well as freshly cracked black pepper. We then cooked it on low for 15 minutes, then on high for another 20-30.
