I didn't have high hopes for this, but it actually was pretty good. I do agree that it's a little bland--even after I upped the paprika to 2 tsp. I found that I should have sauteed the onions a little longer than 10 minutes, but if you are good at doing a fine dice (I'm not), then 10 minutes might be fine. Keep a careful eye on the potatoes, carrots and celery while boiling, so the potatoes don't get too mushy. (And try to dice the carrots small so they cook through.) I used white potatoes, which worked well. I think this might benefit from substituting chicken or vegetable broth for the water. I added a European seasoning called Vegeta that I like, and that perked the soup right up.

This was easy and creamy, but really lacked flavor. After making this today, I had to add a lot more seasonings to give it any flavor. The 4 stars are based on the changes I made after following the recipe. I appreciate the ease of this recipe, but there are other recipes on AR with much more flavor.

Yummyy!! The recipe is great. Substituted milk for cream and turned out perfect (just use less water and more milk).

My children love this recipe. I use fat free half and half to cut calories and sprinkle with grated cheese. I have taken it to work for soup day. It was a hit. I have shared the recipe with family and friends and they have all loved it as much as I do.

A hearty, filling vegetarian stew that I have made several times. I usually use whole milk rather than cream since that is what I have on hand. Like others have mentioned, I find that it needs more spice to make it flavorful enough, so I generously double the paprika and am heavy handed with the black pepper.

very creamy and tasty! I just couldn't stop thinking about the amount of carbs and calories though. It has a wonderful flavor if you are not too concerned about it.

This was really good! After reading other reviews, I cooked the carrots and celery with the onions. I also added garlic to the butter and vegetables. I added much more paprika and pepper than were called for in the recipe, and it wasn't spicy at all. I also salted the water when I cooked the potatoes, which I diced. And I added some frozen peas toward the end of cooking for color. It was delicious, and I can't wait to tweak it again sometime with some cheese and other vegetables.

Really really good! We added more pepper than the recipe called for, and sprinkled lots of parmesan on top. We also substituted mushrooms for celery. Turned out fantastic. Highly recommended!

I thought that the recipe was good, but not great. I will say, though, I subbed the cream for two percent milk, and contrary to what the others said, I found it not to be creamy enough. I will try it again with whole milk and I think that will make a good difference.

Great standard recipe for veggie stew to start and lots of room to add ingredients for your preferences. I don't believe you need the whole cream, I used 2% milk seemed a little overboard. You may need to add a little additional flour. I also added other veggies, beans, spices to this stew. Very satisfying..

So simple to make and very good. The only problem I had was cooking some of the vegetables too long. I was adding them to boiling water while I was still preparing them. Still is was spectacular stew!

When making this recipe, I was in a hurry and didn't have cream at hand. I browned the veggies rather than cook them in water, added onions, doubled the flour and, because there was no broth, added some veggie boullion cubes. I added no water, but rather, used fat free milk for the whole thing. Added in some frozen brocolli, just for fun. It was sooooo good!

Very very very nice - I can believe I made something that tasted so good. Only comments: If you don't dislike black pepper triple the amount - it adds flavor and still doesnt overpower.

This recipe is easy and very good. As with any recipe, we all tweek it to our own. So, I added some fresh mushrooms at the onion-butter cooking stage. Added extra paprika, salt and pepper and in the end I pureed about 1/3 of the soup to make it a little thicker and that way I was able to add quite a bit of the veggie stock you make with the potato broth. This is a scrumptous recipe and I will recommend it to my friends.
