Level of Difficulty: Easy

Caloric Evaluation: High carbs

Ok, the season is changing. The hunters and gatherers are getting busy, it's time for wholesome food with substance that sticks to the ribs..to warm you from the inside-out. This is a old classic soul dish very easy to prepare ,and you can freeze leftovers for a chilly night.perfect served with a green salad as a starter.

i have a tendency to make copious amounts when it comes to soups and stews of this sort. if you find the
amounts a bit too much for you, just use half of listed ingredients. I would also like to add that my mom showed me recipe when I was a child, and I put my spin on it over the years.... so props to my mama!
