Looking for someone who could evaluate this recipe and tell me what I would need to add to be complete. (recipe came from Cockers Forever page) Thank you!

1 whole chicken (I also chop up the heart etc. and put that in) OR 10 chicken thighs. If using thighs, add a few chicken livers
3/4 head of garlic (not one clove but a head)–( use 1 TBS. minced garlic)
1 handful of broccoli (cut up)–or 1/2 package frozen
4 carrots (cut up)–or 1/2 bag frozen, sliced
2 whole zucchini (cut up with skin on)
1 whole yellow squash (large, cut up with skin on)
handful of green beans, fresh,(OR 1/2 bag frozen)
3 stalks of celery (chopped)
1 handful of peas (or canned or frozen)
1 tablespoon of parsley
2 cups of oatmeal (put in the last 1/2 hour cooking time)

In a 10 qt stock pot (stainless steel ONLY) put 2-3 tablespoons of butter or olive oil, heat and add the chicken, bones, skin and all. Fill pot with water to cover chicken. Add veggies and more water to cover. Cook over low to low-med heat for 2 hours. Add oats at the end or they tend to stick. After the stew has finished cooking (carrots are soft), take the chicken out of the mix and let cool…when cool debone it and mix it back into the stew.
I then use an electric mixer thing to mush all of it together.

Freeze what you don’t need immediately after it has cooled. (One batch makes about 30-34 cups of stew)
