This is great. And even more interesting if you use Tofurkey Italian Sausage cut up in 1/2 to 1 inch slices. Vegan heaven!!

my fiance thought this was good, but I think I used a heavier hand with the herbs cause it turned out a little too herb-y for me.

This was absolutely delicious. We used vegetable broth instead of mushroom broth and added bay leaves and crush red peppers and a little curry powder.

This was good and healthy as is. But the second time I made it I left out the potatoes and added sliced mushrooms, minced garlic and diced jalapeno peppers. Then I served it over cooked spaghetti squash. Served with fresh grated parmesan. Everyone raved. Thanks.

We loved the beans. We ate them as a stew the first time. I took the left overs which were a little thicker, and used them in a Tuscan style dish, where I layered first the beans, then cooked spinach (with garlic and oil) and topped with a cooked filet of tilapia.

To be perfectly honest, I found this to be a bit bland, even with the homemade mushroom stock. It's not that it wasn't good -- it just wasn't wonderful. Needs something to give it some interest.

This was really good the only thing I might do different next time is used canned beans rather than dry. It was like soup when I started but by the time the beans had cooked the liquid was almost gone, what was left was kinda slimmy. It's still very good, I love the flavor. Next time i will cook on the stove, used canned beans added the potatoes at the same time and only cook til potatoes are done, then it should be more like a soup. I might play around w/ dried spices also cause the fresh ones are to expensive and I usually only end up using a tiny bit then they go bad so its a waste of money.

This recipe makes a tasty, if subtle dish. My husband really liked it, but my son and I prefer stronger flavors. I will make this again, but as a side dish, not a vegetarian entree.

This was...OK. I made mushroom broth in the slow cooker the night before and included some of the mushrooms, as another reviewer suggested. I also soaked teh beans overnight, adn they were well-cooked in the final dish. But it was...uninspiring. Maybe I expected more because it was called a "cassoulet", which I love and was excited to try a meatless version, but... It got eaten, but I don't think I'll make it again.

This soup smelled fantastic and I liked the flavor but the beans weren't cooked enough for my taste. Next time I think I'll cook them for about an hour on the stove and then add them to the crock pot.

Awesome soup! My husband and I loved it. 7 year old stepdaughter "just" liked it, but her 6 year old friend practically licked her bowl clean! Thank you!

This was absolutely delicious. I made mushroom broth in my crockpot the night prior to assembling this recipe, using 1/2 lb sliced mushrooms, 1/2 white onion, chopped and 4 cups of water. I actually reserved some of the mushrooms and added them to the ingredients. I wanted a lot more veggies in this stew, so I doubled the carrots and potatoes and added some celery. I used a "chicken seasonings blend" of fresh rosemary, thyme and sage from the supermarket as a shortcut, and that worked out great! This recipe is really adaptable to however you want to make it, but it's just as delicious precisely as written.

My whole family loved this. The nine year old had two big servings, AND asked to take the leftovers to school for lunch the next day. I served it with fresh rosemary bread and a green salad.
