Rachael Ray's Chicken Provencal " Stoup"
"From the Food Network, Rachael says "a stoup is thicker than a soup and thinner than a stew". I must make all my soups as stoups, since it isn't any thicker than other soups I have made. That aside, this is a very tasty soup -- one that I will make often. I cut up all my veggies ahead of time and made the recipe as posted except I didn't use the black olive tapenade because my store doesn't carry it and I stirred the parsley into the stoup while it was simmering. I also let it simmer on the stove for 20-30 minutes because I wasn't ready to serve dinner yet and it was fine. It is excellent and definitely a keeper!"

This is a fantasic vegetarian dish. I reccommend using celery, greeen and yellow peppers, beans and even corn! It fills you up and tastes amazing! Great cold day meal! -
This is Fantastic! I added more carrot and zucchini (my preference) Flavorful. -
The first soup I've ever been pleased with! This would be great meatless or even with beef because it's such a basic vegetable base. I liked the wine in the broth too. I bought the tapenade but liked the soup without it so I didn't open it...I'll try it next batch. Great with grilled cheese sandwiches:) Update: Opened the tapenade and tried it with the 4th batch of soup I'd made. Really good! This is an awesome recipe and freezes well too. -
This is an easy, tasty stoup. It's a great way to get veggies into the family. I followed the directions, but i think it would be good with other veggies like green beans or broccoli.to kids. -
I love this recipe and it is one of my go-tos on a cold day. Yo absolutely must try the tapenade. It adds so much flavor, and leftovers are yummy spread on toast. Try msking if from scratch. It's easy if you have a food processor.
