Creamy Veggie Potato Stew

Not happy with how bland it is, even though I added salt to the water, added garlic to the onions, added way more paprika and black pepper and salt than written, added garlic powder, added roasted asparagus at the end my roommate made, and then parmesan cheese, and then some halved grape tomatoes per my boyfriend's suggestion, and he added a bunch more pepper as well. Just super super bland.

This was a wonderful recipe. I adapted it to make a seafood chowder as I was looking for something really creamy. I used seafood broth instead of water to boil the potatoes and celery (didn't put carrots) then, I couldn't find "heavy cream" so I used whipping cream instead. I put in baby clams with the juice once I had added the flower and spices to the butter and onion combo. I also out in salmon, baby shrimps, scallops and imitation crab meat when I put in my heavy whipping cream. I then added the cooked potatoes and celery and about 1 cup of the seafood broth leftover. As a final step before serving, I added 1.5 cups of shredded mozzarella. wow this was tasty!

Very good altho a little heavy on the pepper. I was surprised that it had as much flavor as it did since it doesn't use broth. It would be good w/ham also!
