Preparation:

1. Sauté onion in oil.

2. Add potatoes, carrots, turnips, celery, broth and bay leaf. The broth should cover completely the vegetables.

3. Put the bay leaf and simmer until the potatoes are cooked but still slightly crunchy. add red pepper 5 to 10 minutes before the end

The fricassee is also very good when replacing the broth with "vegetarian chicken"  broth and "faux-chicken".
