I have this cooking now for supper. I used hamburger instead of stew beef. Added a can of dark kidney beans too. A pinch of oregano with the basil and a dash of thyme. Will serve this with garlic bread. This is a great winter warm your bones recipe. Thanks Alison

I thought this was a great, easy little soup recipe. My stew meat was a little tough, not sure why. I might have lessened the cooking time if it weren't for the potatoes. Make sure to chop them up very small, I think mine were too bulky. I used 3 cups water, 6 cubes boullion, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and just less than 1 tablespoon of dried basil. I omitted the salt.

This recipe was an excellent "base" recipe. I did take a few of the suggestions and modify the soup to fit my taste (3 cups water, no salt, less bouillon). My husband did the potatoes and he left them really in really big hunks. They didn't cook very well that way. I'll know next time to get him to make them smaller. We really enjoyed the soup and I will definitely make it again!

Very good and spicy! I adjusted as others had suggested, 8 boullion cubes and no salt. I also added 2 cups more water as it was very thick. Next time I will cut the pepper to 1 teaspoon. This ones a keeper!

I eliminated salt and reduced boullion to 5 cubes. I also added shredded cabbage & celery. It wasn't the best, but was much better the next day. By the way if soup becomes too salty just add a few more potatoes to soak up the salt.

This is a very hearty soup. Great things come to those who wait. I followed the recipe as written, however I will omit the salt and cut back on the bullion the next time I prepare it. It was a bit salty for my taste, but the meat was so tender it just melt in my mouth. What a great meal to come home to and warm up with!

This soup was delicious. I used 3 cups of water instead of two and also omitted the salt. I used crushed tomatoes w/ basil instead of the tablespoon of basil and it was wonderful. Thanks for submitting. I will be using this again

This was so easy and good. I used chicken instead of beef. I did use all the cubes but did not add any salt. I also added some canned green beans and corn. Will make again!

I am usually a wipeout when it comes to cooking with a crockpot. I was surprised and relieved at how well this stew turned out. Based on other reviews, I reduced the recipe down to 5 bouillon cubes. This is a great stew for when it is cold outside!

Yum! I cut the bouillon cubes to 8 as suggested. The soup was a bit to spicy for my daughter, but perfect for me. I also, used a 28 oz can whole tomatoes and slightly used the blender on them, because I didn't have crushed tomatoes. Very easy to make. Thanks for the great recipe. I used this recipe with left over roast and cooked it on the stove. It was easy and still very good. I still like the whole tomatoes in a blender better than the crushed ones. It just seems to taste better! Thanks for one of my all time favorite recipes!

I found it to be an excellent soup. However, I did find ait quite salty. I would omit the salt, due to all the bouillon in it

Excellent!!! I recommend reducing the bouillon a bit, it's very salty otherwise. Very quick and easy. A great weeknight meal for working moms.

This is an excellent recipe, but I think it needs more liquid. I'm wondering if it should be 2 quarts of water instead of 2 cups! I cooked it for seven hours on low in my slow cooker and it was more like stew than soup. After adding more water, it was delicious!

This recipe was too salty and too much basil. I really did not care for this soup. I ended up putting it aside and making something else for dinner that night. Disappointing!

This was the easist soup I've ever made. It was excellent except for the fact it was way to salty, the second time I made it I left out the salt and only used 8 boullion cubes. It came out perfect.

I would definitely make this again. It was so easy. I will definitely cut down on the salt next time - I would probably omit the entire TBSP.
