Thank you for this great recipe! Delicious and super-easy. Made it for lunches this week and will be making it again for next. I love rutabagas, and I used other veggies we had: zucchini, asparagus, fennel, carrot & cabbage. I also made tiny chicken meatballs which went great with the delicious broth. This one’s definitely a keeper!

Came out so delicious. Very easy to make. Thank you for the recommendation to store liquid and solid separately.

Is it possible to adapt this recipe for a slow cooker? If so, any tips? I’m planning a party, but I have a large menu and would like to use this recipe without adding another stovetop dish to juggle. 🙂

Big thumbs-up from me and my daughter. I may have used more rutabaga than the recipe called for (the rutabaga I used was on the large side), but except for needing to sauté the vegetables in two batches for lack of space, it all came together beautifully. My daughter and I have to be careful about garlic & onion because of IBS, but I made garlic oil while chopping the vegetables and removed the garlic pieces before adding the vegetables to the oil (good thing FODMAPs aren’t oil-soluble), and I used scallions instead of onion. Looking forward to experimenting with parsnips, kale, beef, turkey, dumplings, etc. Chef’s kiss, Nagi!
