This was an awesome stew. I went out of the box & used parsnips instead of potatoes,and used seasoning that I had in the house. Very hearty dish. Will definitely make again.

Really yummy. I substituted extra cabbage and spinach for the potatoes. I also made my first batch with pinto beans, instead of black beans, which was very tasty. Since I didn't have vegetable stock, I used beef broth, which brought out the flavor in the veggies. I dolloped a bit of French Onion light dip on top with cheese and fresh basil. YUM. Will definitely make again.

The flavor is excellent. I added flour to thicken it up a bit, a dash of cumin and used organic chicken broth instead of vegetable, since it was what I had handy. I think that next time I make it I will decrease by a potato, add a carrot, can of kidney beans and a can of corn.

I made this as per the recipe except cooked it a little longer and made bisquick dumplings on top. Even if you are not a vegetarian, this is an excellent, hearty dinner on a cold winter night! Deeeelicious!

very good. I think the next time I make this I may add some corn, but it's very enjoyable as is.

Love this! I'm not a huge fan of the texture of most traditional vegetable soups, so I cooked it as instructed but held off adding the cabbage, beans + bay leaves. I cooled it, then used my blender to process a little more than 1/2 the recipe (making sure to put all of the potatoes in the blender to make it the consistency thicker) and added it back along with the remaining ingredients and cooked for another 10 minutes - it was delicious! I should mention that I also didn't have oregano and celery salt, so I used 1 1/2 teaspoons of poultry seasoning (which btw does not have meat in it) instead. Definitely a staple in my recipe book.

Based on the other reviews I read, I expected this dish to be a lot better. I thought the tomato sauce was overpowering, and it could probably be left out. I also added flour, as others suggested because it was very soupy. It wasn't terrible, my boyfriend enjoyed it, and without the tomato sauce it probably would've been a lot better.

This wonderful stew might make a vegetarian out of me yet. It was absolutely delicious and even though it makes quite a lot, I've had it twice for dinner and numerous lunches. Loved, loved, loved it. Will be making it many more times. Thanks so much for sharing.
