We really enjoyed this stew & it is perfect for autumn. I liked that the recipe included chicken and your instructions on the sizes to cut the vegetables was appreciated. The fall veggies all married well in this flavorful stew. I ended up thickening it at the end of the cooking time with 1 T cornstarch & 2T water and cooking on high about 15 minutes. I served with a garlic toast & a contest apple crisp for dessert. Lovely meal! Thank you for your entry in the Craze-E Crockpot Contest!

I like to make a point of trying new ingredients & new techniques. This was my first time with butternut squash & we were pleased with the result. This recipe was chock full of veggies. It was actually a fun little dinner with everyone pointing out the veggies & discussing what they were & how they liked them. The simple broth in this recipe was the perfect compliment to the strong flavors of the parsnips & butternut squash. Each vegetable was allowed it's own burst of flavor without competition from the broth. For a family that doesn't "do" winter vegetables, we ended up enjoying this one quite a bit. Good luck!
