Goji Chili Stew


I made Dr. Fuhrman's Goji Chili Stew tonight and it was actually pretty good. The goji berries turned an orange color and didn't taste like much of anything, but probably added some nutritional benefit. I don't know if this really was a chili or a stew...definitely not a soup...well, it was better than expected, whatever it was. On Dr Fuhrman's website some of the reviewers mentioned putting the chili/stew over lettuce with some added avocado and salsa. Maybe I'll try that with the leftovers.

Changes to the recipe: I cut the recipe in half, used fire roasted tomatoes, canned corn (what I had on hand), black and pinto beans, but no kidney beans, and fresh veggies for the rest.
