    Delicious!!! Followed recipe exactly except forgot the half & half.
    Didnt intendance for the bluish cheese croutons. So much flavor. I did not utilize depression common salt broth ao didnt need to add any salt.

    4 stars assumes the utilise of the croutons broken up into the stew, as that would requite it more than flavor. Eaten without, equally and so many reviewers have washed, information technology is pretty bland. I prefer a recipe that uses tomatoes and a little miso to requite it flavor. I did add together fresh shitakes, but they got lost.

    Very good! Made pretty close to recipe. Didn't have fresh parsley and sage so used stale. Likewise used half craven and half beef broth. My husband won't swallow walnuts so used pecans for the toast which I loved! Great emphasis to the stew!! Oh ya! Totally forgot the cream! Next time I would try, although I didn't feel like the stew was lacking!
