  1. This is a very good recipe. We made it with soy instead of hamburger, but I think it needed something to give it a little more taste. Possibly the next time we will try hamburger.
     
  2. Very good, rich flavored soup. I only used one can of each kind of bean and it still turned out nice and hearty. Good on a cold day.
     
  3. great recipe! i left out the wine, replaced with chicken broth and have interchanged whatever beans I have on hand, and it's still good. I also threw in some chicken sausage from time to time, but it's very filling even without the meat.
     
  4. Love this recipe. It has become a seasonal staple in our house. Great source of fiber. The red wine is essential. It really enhanced the flavor, so don't skip it.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Las Vegas. I was lucky enough to run into Recipezaar around Nov. 2000 and got hooked quickly. I am a cookbook collector and have been collecting recipes for as long as I can remember. My DH had to build in shelves for all my cookbooks! I like to dabble with OAMC and for a few years hosted the Budget/OAMC forum with some great people over there. Even though I don't work in the forum any longer I've set up a lot of cookbooks for the purpose of OAMC and stretching food that might be helpful. Please feel free to check them out! I go on food jags and cooking jags! Please come say hi to me and chat on facebook. I currently host a blog for saving money through finding deals and coupons if you are interested. Most of the time I try to cook and have a good dinner on the table but I'll be honest enough to say there is still fast food occasionally in the budget! I have had such wonderful support here whenever I need it. Thank you all for being here! Just a quick note on how I rate recipes: ? 5 stars - This recipe is perfect. (My DH is truly a critic and doesn't give 5's unless it's amazing) I would recommend it to others and would definitely make again. ? 4 stars - This recipe was good but I would change something in it next time. ? 3 stars - This is a recipe I would not make again but it was OK ? 2 stars - This recipe I would not make again and we didn't like it at all ? 1 star - This recipes did not work out/taste was unappealing and wouldn't make again
