It was fantastic! However...it does not serve even close to 12 people. I doubled the ingredients (except for the liquid and only used 1.5 cups of water with the beef broth) and got 5 servings. - 12/14/10

I made this and LOVED it. I wanted to try another recipe BUT my husband said "WHY" you found the right one the first time. Yes, as always it is better the second day . Good the first day, too. - 3/17/09

Our whole family loved this soup (including two Korean exchange students who are not always easy to please!). I browned lean ground turkey and used it in place of the beef. I'll be making this on a regular basis. Thanks for sharing! - 4/1/10

I just got finished eating this and I was not expecting this to be as good as it was. Excellent flavor. I did everything as the recipe except that I decreased the water by 1 cup. I used chuck and it was tough so I might try a better cut of beef next time. I WILL make this again! - 12/28/09

Added a zucchini, turnip, parsnip, green beans and a tin of corn. Using my slow cook, but already the flavourings are fantastic. - 5/23/12

I made this today while I was snowed in, so I had to use what I had on hand. It came out pretty good, but next time I'll make sure to get a better cut of beef. Overall, 4 stars for how my soup came out, and 5 stars for how I expect it would come out if made properly. - 2/10/10

Loved it. Used 1/2 pound of stew beef which I precooked and added more veggies including half a package of spinach that was looking sort of sad. Mushrooms would be good too. It made exactly 12 cups of soup which is a serving to me. Good recipe. - 3/25/14

Very good soup. I didn't have time to thaw beef, so just did a veggie variety with barley and broth. Still very flavorful - 1/24/10

Very tasty and easy to make. It also didn't require me to go shopping for any "exotic" ingredients I won't use again. I will be freezing the leftovers. - 10/3/09
