4. When your fourth hour is done, add the cooked bacon crumbled or broken up. Cook another 1/2 hour.
5. Add your cheese and cook the last 30 minutes. Serve with a nice bread and a salad. This is one of the best 'stewps' I have ever made.

Would the starch from the potatoes work enough to thicken this for a person who is gluten intolerant?

It should. I am not a gluten expert but since it's only 1/3 cup it seems like it would. I just checked my commercial soup thickener that Swanson put's out and it says they use wheat flour but don't say how much. You might be able to use corn starch, too?

I am so sorry I forgot the broccoli. But it's two cups chopped. I sent them a note asking to have that inserted into the recipe post but I am sure they are uber busy!! Just chalk it up to posting when you are super tired!!

Do you add the broccoli at the beginning when you add the potatoes and onions and cook for 2 hours?
