…and I’m not talking about a really good glass of pinot noir.

I literally just whipped up this dinner in 20 minutes flat. And I took the photograph and began writing this before even finishing my (large) hearty bowl. It’s THAT good that I had to share – ASAP!

Every once in a while a new recipe comes along that as I’m cooking it I’m thinking ‘this is going to be a ‘make again’ (as my mom says). This fell into that category immediately upon just reading the ingredients. Every single item going in I love and every single item going in is good for you. So you can eat bowls and bowls without a care in the world.

Another great feature of this recipe? It tastes like it has been bubbling away all day. So, whip it up for a casual dinner and leave it simmering on the stove. Your guests will have no idea that in less time it takes you to dry your hair you put together a rockstar dinner. Serve with warm crusty bread for dipping and you’re good as gold.
