In winter, I want warm, hearty dishes. I hate being cold, so I feel like this makes my body think it's actually warmer than it is. When I saw this recipe and decided to make it, I didn't realize how much it would taste like chili. I was surprised how filling it was since it didn't have any meat. I think you could easily add ground turkey or even chicken for extra heartiness if you wanted, but you really don't need it! We had a side of cornbread muffins.1 Tbl olive oil
