Delicious! I used a whole box (4 cups) of chicken broth because we wanted to eat it in a bowl and not over rice. I expect to make this again and again!

This is delicious! I normally am not a fan of chickpeas but they were great in this dish. Will be making this again!

I love this recipe. I have made it several times. I usually substitute butternut squash for the sweet potato and use canned tomatoes instead of fresh. I have substituted swiss chard and kale for the spinach depending on what I have on hand. I leave out the red pepper because I do not like spicy foods. I also frequently add some cooked chicken or pork to increase the protein. It is very flexible recipe and delicious every time I make it. So healthy and low calorie.

This was amazing! I and my family loved it. I added some salt and a bit more crushed red pepper and twice the amount of garlic. I also added 2 smoked hocks and some leftover turkey. There was tons of flavor. This is a definate keeper.

Very tasty and colorful! My substitutions (just because I had them): I used a can of tomato sauce instead of the fresh tomato, a can of black beans instead of the chick peas, and red pepper flakes instead of crushed. I added salt and pepper and an extra clove of garlic. Totally not bland.

I put a four sliced chicken breasts into this stew along with the given recipe. This stew is ok. The broth is relatively bland but if you add some spices (sweet basil, cumin, coriander), heat (habenero or serrano, I could barely notice the crushed red pepper), and salt (so important, as I cannot stress enough how the broth tasted like water). Note that I increased the amount of red pepper by 50 percent and used the specific campbell's 10.5 oz chicken broth. This stew must be infused with intense spices and sensations. Even when done, the character of the stew is ambiguous. A blank slate for your inventive or conservative spicing! I recommend cooking this stew as given in the recipe (the cinnamon and vegetables makes your house smell amazing) and then spicing afterwards to taste.

A new favorite! The only thing I changed was to use homemade veggie broth.

I made this without the spinach (didn't have any on hand) and it came out well, though I do think that the spices could be increased by half. Served it on top of couscous, delicious!

A keeper! One of the best recipes I have even found on this site. I veered slightly off the recipe and added more raisins, used canned tomatoes and frozen spinach as that was what I had (I'm sure fresh is better but this was a great dish for a rainy night.) Absolutely delicious with short grain brown rice -- and very healthy as well. Yummy and filling. Can't wait to make it again!
