This recipe needed some more flavor. I added lots more seasoning and salt and pepper and it still needed something. It was better the next day. It needed something to thicken the sauce. It was rather watery. The cooking time needs to be longer. I cooked it for 4 hours and the vegetables were still crunchy.

This is a fine recipe. Because it is a stew a crockpot is best to keep it from burning. But the cook time is off by about 2.5 hours. Set your crock to high to get the stew to bubble then lower it and cook for another 3.5 hours.

This turned out well...I did add a bit more spice with some fresh jalapeno peppers(2) diced and then a package of baby carrots. I did cook all day on low so the potatoes and carrots would cook. My other half loved it.

I used a can of tomato soup instead of stewed tomatoes and left out the peppers because I didn't have them on hand, but this was a great stew!

I usually have bad luck with pork, it comes out tough for me. This recipe is really tender though, and has a nice creamy gravy.

I wasn't too sure about this at first - even though I added way more garlic, pepper and Italian seasoning, I found it to be incredibly bland and boring. However, by the time I dished it up in the evening, it was much more flavorsome. Other than upping the seasoning, the only other change I made was to use creamed corn as that's what I had on hand. Not bad at all. Thanks, Mitzy!

My husband, (who never follows recipes) followed this to a "T." I have to say the recipe sounded really strange, and after tasting this it is probably the strangest soup I have ever had. The pork really threw me for a loop. Maybe I have missed out on the experience of a pork stew, but now I am glad I know I haven't been missing out on anything. If you like pork in your stew than I would give it a try. Thanks for sharing!

Very tasty but remember to DICE the potatoes and definitely cook longer - at least 3 hours. I ended up taking it out of the slow cooker and into a dutch oven for the last hour because I had company coming over and the potatoes were solid after an hour on high! But it still turned out very tasty.

Wonderful soup. We are a soup family, especially in the cold weather. I will definately be making this again. The only change I will be making is to try some carrots in it next time. But excellent as it is.

This was a great stew! I added celery and did not use the cornstarch. I cooked it in the crock pot for 8 hours on low. I think if you're only going to cook for 2 hours you should boil the potatoes for about 10 minutes before placing in the crock pot or they may not get soft enough. I really liked the italian seasonings and the cream of mushroom soup gave it a nice texture.

This stew is perfect for a cold autumn day! I changed it a little due to lack of ingredients. I added carrots instead of peppers and corn, and I didn't have canned tomates so I used tomatoe paste and added a little water and it turned out fabulous! I made some homemade buns to go with it, and my family was so impressed! :) I will definetly make this again!

I dislike recipes that call for seasonings 'to taste' because it makes it difficult for me to tell if the recipe is bad or I just didn't add enough seasonings!! Anyway, I added cajun seasonings (about 1t) to the slow cooker, and more in individual bowls. Served with corn muffins.

I also added potatoes and put the whole thing in the crock pot after browning the pork. came out tender, but soupy. May put sour cream to make it creamier...but very good!

I had a bunch of pork that I needed to use. This recipe was exactly what I was looking for. I have to admit that I used what I had. I used turkey stock (homemade, frozen from thanksgiving, and cream of chicken soup. They worked fine. I really liked the milk base. The texture turned out very hearty and it made great leftovers.
