Cooked about minutes. Added 3 small chopped red potatoes skinned. .Brings some starch into the broth. Cooked completely around 40-45 minutes. Served over cooked brown rice into soup bowls. A variation was to keep in pan without large water.. and then add sherry, gravy browning , 2cups of water and 2 tblsp flour mixed in slowly a little at a time.. made a nice thick stew sauce as well. Served on cooked brown rice . Could be a soup or Stew.. Very tasty hearty and healthy!
