Delicious! Perfect for our vegetarian family, thick, hearty, almost meaty(!) stew. I added one 28 oz can of whole tomatoes, cut up, for additional tomatoes, extra spinach for good nutrients - everybody LOVED it!<br/>PS 1) I ALWAYS use a slow cooker liner to make cleaning up a breeze. 2) One of my daughters bought me a "Vidalia Chop Wizard" a couple of years ago, it's the only kitchen "gadget" I actually use, cuts chopping time by 75%!

made this yesterday, turned out great! even better today! froze some too as recipe makes a lot. only thing i did differently was i added some chopped baby portabello mushrooms and used dried thyme instead of fresh and didn't have any cayenne. next time i will add even more spinach, because we love it. thanks for a great easy recipe!
