For a richer flavor, use chicken stock instead of water. Feel free to add other vegetables such as celery, parsnips, or turnips. To thicken the stew, consider adding small dumplings during the last 15 minutes of cooking time. Alternatively, you can mix a tablespoon of cornstarch with cold water and stir it into the stew at the end of cooking. Fresh savory can be used instead of dried, use 1 tablespoon of fresh savory. Adjust the amount of water to achieve your desired stew consistency.
