REALLY good!, Guest Oni no Maggie

Wow! This knocked our socks off! We used chicken broth instead of vegetable, and I followed the suggestion of one of the other commenters and sauteed a jalapeno (along with some chopped onions!) in the pot before adding the rest of the ingredients. It did need to simmer for a while to increase thickness, but I wasn't in a hurry and it didn't take too long. Will definitely be making again!!!!
