This is the most incredible recipe ever. We absolutely LOVED it!! But sadly I can't take credit. I got the recipe from Stephanie over at the crockpot365 blog (and if you head over there check out her many, many other awesome recipes) 

My variations on her original recipe were;

- I halved the ingredients, giving us a generous 4 portions
- I added some tabasco hot sauce at the beginning of cooking (plus a little more to taste once I'd served it up) along with extra black pepper to spice it up for our tastebuds
- Although I did use 4 cups of broth, it was runnier than I expected. I think you could reduce this down to 3.5 cups
