Taste Scoring
★★★★★ Cooking time: 60 minutes, Preparation: 15 minutes + Hot Cook: 45 minutes
No store-bought roux is used with this recipe. But the cream stew is delicious with full of flavor and a comforting taste. The potatoes are incredibly delicious, and of course, they do not become mushy while cooking.
This is one of the best hot cook dishes I’ve ever made, and it definitely ranks one of the top five.
Each ingredient is perfectly seasoned to perfection. Once again, the Hot Cook has surprised me with its ability to make just the right dishes, even though it is automatic and left alone.
The potatoes and carrots have an excellent firmness that melts in your mouth after a while. The onions were tender, and the chicken was juicy and delicious.
It is recommended to cut the potatoes into large pieces. Don’t worry if you cut the potatoes too big or too thick. They will be cooked all the way adequately through. The soup is thick, but not too thick that it gets stuck in your throat and is very smooth.
