"Found this in Sunset magazine. It says it's good over rice or with slices of hearty bread. Add a tossed salad and it's a meal."

This is excellent and really hit the spot on a cold winter evening. I was a little shy with the artichoke hearts but other than that made as per recipe. It was served with a hearty cornbread for warming meal.

Yum! Delicious and healthy soup. Nice balance of flavors. I forgot to get sage, so I substituted parsley. I also added 1/2 tsp of ground coriander. This is a keeper!

Everything on my wish list...quick, easy, ingredients that I always have anyway, healthy and FLAVORFUL thanks to a nice combo of red pepper, sage and lemon. It's more of a soup than a stew since it's basically ingredients in a liquid broth. I made a half recipe and over rice it serves four people.
