Made like recipe but without the portobello because I didn't have one and I added one (1) Tbspn Minor's Beef Base to the 4 cup of water for taste. Seasoned to taste as in recipe. Good basic recipe easy to vary, a keeper. - 10/20/12

This is great, not only the recipe but the freedom to add your own "leftovers". I was also looking for a way to clear out some ingredients from my fridge! I also added asparagus, carrots, and cooked minute rice ( at the end). A few extra mild spices and it is a new fav. for me!!! Thanks!! - 8/25/10
