Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Many enjoyed the tasty, flavorful stew, though some found it too spicy; consider adjusting spices to taste.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, with minimal prep time and simple instructions.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding black beans, thickening with tomato paste or cornstarch, and serving over rice or as a dip.
  • Portions: Some found it filling with leftovers, while others wished for larger portions or more vegetables.
  • Texture: For a thicker consistency, reduce water or simmer longer; some preferred it chili-like rather than soupy.
