“If I could give this ten stars I would! I’ve made this recipe at least five times in the last few months. I’m a soup junkie and have loved so many of your soups and stews but this takes the cake. I made it for myself, my family, girlfriends, church lent supper” — a cook, 5.0★
“I've been making this wonderful, delicious and hearty soup for years, thank you, Mel! As there are only two of us now, I only make half the recipe, but it's still enough for dinner one night and a lunch later in the week. I use the cheapest cut of beef I can” — a cook, 5.0★
