Zucchini Stew

I found this recipe on Allrecipes: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/zucchini-stew/detail.aspx

The reviews said it lacked taste so I doctored it as such:

2 zucchini, diced
1 onion, chopped
1 cup chicken broth
2 (14.5 ounce) cans peeled and diced tomatoes
6 fresh basil leaves
2 4 inch long pieces of oregano (just the leaves)
1 4 inch long piece of parsley (just the leaves)
2 cups uncooked white rice
2-3 lbs turkey meatballs (cooked)
1 tablespoon dried red chili flakes
1-2 teaspoons dried jalapenos
salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a large pot, combine zucchini, onion, and chicken broth. Cover with 2 inches of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir in tomatoes, basil, oregano, parsley and rice; reduce heat and simmer for about 15 minutes - covered but watch the amt of liquid, I had to add some more.
Stir in Chili & jalapeno flakes and meatballs adding more water if necessary. Season with salt and pepper, and simmer 20 minutes more, until rice is tender.

Delicious! I served w/Parmesan cheese on top.

This recipe made A TON, next time I'll probably cut in half and that will still be enough for dinner and another dinner for 2 and probably 1 person's lunch.
