"Lois Henry, a lady in our church, first gave my this recipe as a way to use our bounty of home-canned tomatoes," comments Marcia Clay of Truman, Minnesota. "My husband loves it, and I like that it's easy to warm up for a carefree dinner in the winter months."

We really liked this! I used leeks instead of onions and diced tomatoes instead of stewed. I also added 1/4 tsp Savory and 1/2 tsp. garlic powder.

VERY GOOD! I didn't have potatoes so I used more rice. I also added some minced garlic. Just perfect for a cool autumn day.

This was so easy to make and tasty. I did cut the recipe in half since 15 servings would be way too much for one person. I sliced the veggies very thin, so this was cooked in about 25 min. I added some corn starch to thicken. Will definitely make this again.

This is great comfort food for the winter! My entire family loves this recipe. The only thing I have to say is that it needed to cook alot longer than the recipe states for the veggies to be nice and tender. But, I will DEFINITELY make this again! Thank you for sharing this great dish!

Easy to make and very tasty. I think I'd add more vegetables next time. Makes a lot - so I had lots of leftovers for lunches. Just popped individual bowls in the freezer - ready to take to work for lunch.

I thought this needed a little jazzing up-so I did a few alterations & brought it to a church potluck with rave reviews. I had only chopped tomatoes on hand & substituted 2 cans for the amount suggested, I decreased the carrots & celery to about 3 each, added condensed tomato soup, 1 tsp. worcestershire sauce, 2 tsp. dry basil, decreased salt to 1 tsp. because I added some beef bouillion to taste. Also eliminated the rice when I made it for the church. It really was tasty with the additions.
