I love this recipe! It's a great example of a recipe that you can alter in a lot of ways: canned beans work well; use fresh veggies that are a day or two past their prime; any kind of soup base you have will work, and they're all a little different; cubed ham is a great addition for the carnivores in your life; shallots are also a great addition. Couple this dish with a crusty, whole grain bread and you've got a delicious fall meal full of good stuff -- and on the cheap. Thanks for a great recipe!
