Wine lends a warm background flavor for this satisfying take on a traditional French stew. Lynn Stein in Joseph, Oregon uses low-fat mashed beans to thicken her broth and boost nutrition. Serve with garlic bread and dinner's done!

This stew is okay...lacks a bit in the flavor department.

Mouth watering meal like Mother use to make, and before her, Grandma!

I omitted the parsnips & turnip (never was a fan) and added another potato and 2 more carrots (my favorites)--it tasted great! There was no need to add any extra seasonings.

I also substituted the beef consomme for extra beef broth, since I couldn't find the consomme at my grocery store.

My veggies were tender after 30 minutes. I will enjoy eating the leftovers.
