Loved this,I did have to make a few changes tho, I did not have crushed tomatoes so I used tomatoe sauce, was out of basil so I used Italian seasoning and Parsely,also added more potatoes and carrots, and durning cooking added about a cup of water. About 1hr before serving I also added about 1/4 cup red wine, and some frozen peas and corn. yummmmmm, thanks for a great base stew.
