Very good.

next tim i will add more meat but otherwise it was good

The stew was just a little to spicey reduce pepper

This recipe was submitted as a soup, not a stew, which is why it is so thin. It was called "Cozy Cottage Beef Stew Soup." For some unknown reason, the editors changed the title. Calling it a stew is misleading.

This made a really good soup, not so much a stew. After reading other reviews, I decided to leave out some liquid, so I only put one chicken broth in and left out the tomato sauce. The result was some really velvety soup. I also put in a pound of stew meat instead of 3/4, and cut my vegetables larger, rather than dicing like the recipe recommends. This fit perfectly in my 5 quart crock pot, and was definitely ready after one hour on high and 8 on low.

A very simple and tasty recipe. The family will love it.

We make this beef stew all the time during the fall/winter season. We always double the meat. It takes longer to prepare than 20 minutes, about 1 hour. Sometimes we add 1 more can of tomato sauce, to change up the flavor. Great with a fresh french bread loaf.

This was a very good stew! I'm in agreement with the other reviewers, WAY too much broth that comes out like a soup. I would halve the broth and consomme and tomato sauce, and add a little bit more flour to the mix. Also, I started at about noon, and it wasn't ready for dinner so we left it on low over night and all day the next day and it came out great.

I love this stew. I reduced the chicken broth and beef consomme both by half a can. Also, about an hour before this was done I added 1tbsp of cornstarch mixed with half a cup of water to thicken it up a bit more. I also took the mushrooms out the second time I made it. Wasn't a fan.

It was great. Makes a ton though. I had to transfer it from the slow cooker to the stove top because it would have taken much much longer than 6 hours. Otherwise, very tastey.

Not bad, but I thought it was a little bland. I didn't add potatoes, I used quinoa instead--doesn't get mushy and is high in protein. I also added some red wine to it, and cooked it all on low in my crockpot overnight.

This was so thin and runny and it tasted like Campbell's tomato soup with beef & veggies tossed in. I will not make this dish again.

I completely agree with the previous comments regarding the amount of liquid. I used much less - I made this with 16oz stewing meat, and ended up using one can of beef broth, one can of diced tomatoes, and a maybe 2/3 of the tomato can filled with water. I followed the recipe exactly, and thought it was quite bland. So I added more freshly-ground black pepper, some Italian seasoning, and an Oxo cube, which helped, but it was still lacking something. I think maybe a few cups of red wine, reduced during the cooking time, might have helped. Overall, I thought this was good but not great.

Recipe was pretty good. I followed other reviewers and skipped the tomato sauce and even then it was very thin. It was a lot of stew, thankfully I have a five quart crockpot, it just fit. I also added browning and seasoning sauce to it because of all the flour I added lightened it up too much.

Great recipe! I will cut down on the liquids a bit next time because there was too much gravy left. Excellent flavor though. Thanks for sharing!

Good, but it only gets 4 stars because the name is a little misleading. I expected a beef stew with a bit of tomato flavor, but it was really like a thick minestrone with some chunks of beef. Very good though. I had to cut the amount of broth in half because my crockpot was too full. I loved the fresh green beans in this! Served with garlic bread.

It doesn't have enough beef to serve as a stew. If you want stew, you'll have to add more flour to thicken up, and increase the amount of beef. Cut the meat and veggies in larger pieces for a stew. About the beef consomme thing, Campbell's makes both a broth and a consomme. The consomme has a more gelatin texture and deeper flavor/color.

This turned out very much like a soup, even after adding some corn starch as suggested by another reviewer. The flavor was also a little weak and a little too much like tomatoes. There was also not nearly enough meat. Also, why call it beef consumme instead of beef broth? The meat that was there was great, and it definitely scores points for being healthy, if you're into that.
