About
I remember cooking this with my Grandma when I was only 6 or 7. I cooked it with my mother, and it is now a favorite in my family especially in cold weather. You can add more vegetables, use a different type of meat, or experiment with spices. It was more about what was available than what was needed. Great served in bread bowls with a green onion garnish.
