Yummy, lots of veggies (healthy vitamins and fiber), and low calorie. What more can you ask for? I also agree with the previous reviewer that it is great for using up what is in the refrigerator, but it makes a lot, so unless you have a big family, don't wait until right before your vacation to make it, or you won't have time to eat it before you go.

Delicious stew. We are getting ready to leave town for a week, and this was a tasty way to clean out the refrigerator before we leave. I subbed chicken broth for half of the water, used fire-roasted tomatoes and cannellini beans. I changed the amounts of the vegetables a bit, since I was wanting to just use up what I had on hand (plenty of sliced baby-cut carrots, more cabbage and bell pepper, less celery). We really enjoyed it--thanks for posting!

Can't believe I've been a member here for 18 years! It's changed a lot since the old RecipeZaar days and maybe or maybe not for the better. It used to be a community and now it's just a tool. Sad, but life goes on.
I have been in Kentucky for 12 years now and enjoy the country lifestyle, along with master gardening. Recipes I've found here since Day One are still in my rotation. Don't entertain that much anymore, so finding new and exciting foods is no longer center stage. Just glad to have so many good recipes to fall back on because eating out is expensive and sometimes too far to drive.
