  1. This is yummy! I wanted it that night so I did cook it fast on the stove until the veggies were tender – took a potato masher lightly to it and it turned out great – loved adding the spinach! If you cook it kind of fast (not so it boils over of course) It’s done in a little more than an hour.

    This is yum and has lots of flavour… i add a cup of McKenzie’s soup mix which has lentil, pea and barley!
