Made with all the ingredients exceft for the oil. I placed it all in my crock pot and cooked for 3 hours on low! Very comforting!

I really liked this. My son did not like the broth but loved the meat only. So, I probably won't get to make this again for some time.

Just came back from Austria, and this was just as tasty and heartwarming!
