Made this for dinner tonight. It was excellent and also very filling. Because I follow a Paleo diet, I eliminated the potatoes. I added the whole bag of baby spinach and two additional tablespoons of tomato paste (for three tablespoons total). It tasted great and even my husband, who doesn't typically like bean soups, enjoyed the meal.

This stew did not taste good at all. My family didn't like it. My reviews are not showing up on this site. I tried to rate this recipe with one star and the rating didn't work either.

This recipe makes a huge pot of stew. I found it to taste very bland and it didn't help to add the optional red wine vinegar or increase the spices. My family didn't like the taste or texture.

Has anyone noticed that since red beans were touted as so good for us, that they are more expensive? Barley is not quite as high now and is a good starch substitute when p9otatoes are so high.

This soup is hardy and satisfying! I added two cloves of chopped garlic to the onion/potato portion of the recipe.

This is a tasty (and I presume healthy!) stew. It's very easy, reheats well, and is a good meal by itself.
