Don't bother with this recipe. Just make vegetable soup instead, it's the same thing.

Tasty but not all that spectacular.

Very good stew, especially since it doesn't take very long to make. The consistency is perfect, the tomato juice adds great flavor. I made the following modifications: used 2 lbs of beef instead of 2 cups (would recommend this, or at least adding more than suggested), used 4 stalks each of chopped carrots and celery. I also accidentally forgot the lima beans, which my fiance was happy about but I would have liked to try it included. I dredged the beef chunks in flour and browned with oil and 4 cloves of chopped garlic. I used a regular stove-top soup pan (I have an electric range so I stirred often to avoid burning). Still have some leftovers and plan to make again!

yummy! made my home smell great, impressed my boyfriend, and was impossible to screw up. i added carrots, fresh diced garlic, and a dash of red pepper to give it a kick. ill definately have fun improvising with this one..

Great soup! Especially for left over roast! Easy to make, and my family loved it. I put my carrots in the soup from the roast that I had made previously. Tasted wonderful!
