This recipe was just ... okay. It wasn't HORRIBLE, but I guess it didn't work too well for me. I had to add a lot more water than called for, and the vegetables sort of "wilted" anyway. The flavor was rather flat, too, despite what I thought was quite a large amount of herbs. And it yields more like four small servings; if it's supposed to serve eight, then those are about two-tablespoon servings! It's a nice idea, though. Thanks for posting.
