I had some stewing beef cubes and did not feel like making stew so I tried out this recipe. I made two changes only to this recipe. I was using stew beef so I first lightly floured/seasoned and seared the beef to lock in flavor. Also we do not like dumplings so I omitted those. I was lucky enough to have a very, very good pinot noir wine left over from Christmas so I opened that and it was splendid in this soup. I will be making this recipe again. I agree, however, that you must use a very good wine (as you should whenever you cook with wine) or else there probably would not be as much flavor. Overall though a very good recipe.

Very good. Creates a rich broth. We don't make the dumplings, instead we serve with warm, crusty rolls.

This was really good. I added 3 cups of tomato juice and simmered it for about 40 min before adding the dumplings to blend the flavors a little better. I also added a little sage, basil and a bay leaf. Next time I will brown the meat in the pot for added flavor.

This was a great soup, my family loved it. I did use more tomato juice and a little less wine and it was perfect. I also added some mushrooms too. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.

Maybe it was the wine I used, but no one in my family liked the flavor of this soup.

Alittle to strong for us....but good. It reminded us of a french meal. I think as a base for roast it'd be perfect.

This soup is EXCELLENT! I used meatballs in place of the stew meat, and it was wonderful! The longer you simmer, the better the flavor. Thanks for a great recipe!

My husband loved this, but I thought it was much too strong. Next time I will either cut down on the wine or simmer longer to tame the flavor.

Hearty soup. I cut the wine in half and so glad I did. Made a great roast that I cut up to go in it. Used noodles vs. dumplings and thought it appropriate. Soup tasted even better a few days later.

I enjoyed this soup, but my roommate did not. He didn't care for the strong wine flavor that was present. I used a smooth merlot that added depth but the overall recipe was less flavorful than I had hoped! I made the following changes / tweaks: added an entire chopped small yellow onion, used 3 cloves of garlic, added a 1/2 pound of sliced mushrooms, used approx. 6 oz. of dumpling style egg noodles and increased the tomato juice and red wine by 1 cup each. If I make this in the future (which I probably won't) I will increase only the tomato juice and broth by 1 cup each and decrease the wine by 1 cup. Some additional spices should be added for flavor, but I am not sure which ones. Thyme and parsley?

The soup is delicious but next time I would leave out the dumplings and just sprinkle the soup with a little cheese or a sprig of dill.

A very flavourful, quick and easy meal! From start to finish it was on the table in less than 30 minutes. I did not make the dumplings...just not a dumpling kind of family...but I did add some barley shaped egg noodles. My whole family loved this soup. I used a left over roast beef, and almost a cup of au ju from that meal. I cut the wine down to 1 cup, and used bloody mary mix instead of tomato juice. I will DEFINATELY make this again!

I thought the soup was a little bland. Added some pepper flakes and it gave it just enough "kick." Also, browned the beef and then put everything in the crock pot on high for 4 hours. Didn't make the dumplins..too many calories. Will keep in recipe file.

How can you say the Prep Time is 5 minutes? I find that deceptive - especially if one is looking for a fast and easy meal to prepare on a worknight. How is that calculated - once everything is brought together, chopped, diced, portioned, etc? I would put the Prep Time at at least 20 to 30 minutes.
