Too spicy for my family. Would try it again with less heat. Used a hearty dollop of sour cream to cool it down.

At first my husband didn't like it real well. But he next day he decided it was very good.

I would definitely make this again...so much flavor, this is going to be a regular in my house for sure. I didn't have tomato and chiles but used diced tomatoes and olive oil. I added a little green pepper, but not much. It was so very tasty. And so filling!

Delicious and hearty! Diced tomatoes with green chilies are quite hot, I usually use one can with and one without the chilies. Also have substituted chicken broth for the veg broth since that's what I had on hand.

Easy to make, add a salad and some rolls you are all set.

Very good soup!! Perfect for a cold day. It was extremely tasty, with a bite of heat. So hearty, we didn't even miss the meat. Everyone loved the flavor. The only change I made was that I added 1 stalk of celery. I'll definitely be making this stew again for my family. Definitely a favorite. Yum!!

This was great! I did substitute diced potatoes for the hash browns and I went a little heavier on the carrots. We did not miss meat at all with this meal, which I served with bread and a garden salad.
