I'm feeling a little chunky from all the good food I've made lately. I chose this recipe because of the low fat and health benefits. This soup tasted too good to be healthy. I love how easy it is to put together. Looking forward to eating more for lunch tomorrow. Thanks for posting. Made for PAC, Spring 2008

Made this for Diabetic Forum and tailgating forum and what an easy and delicious soup. I used fresh vegetables (steaming the carrots, green beans and a diced potato first) then continuing with the recipe. I am sure using the can vegetables would make this go even quicker when making. Thank you for a delicious recipe.

Oh, I love this recipe! I used black beans, as I had them cooked and handy, and all fresh veggies except the tomatoes (I used a can of Rotel original spiced). I also added a teaspoon of summer savory near the end of cooking. Because I was using fresh veggies, I did have to simmer the carrots a little before adding the rest of the ingredients, but this was still something I threw together after getting home at 10pm and didn't feel guilty eating! This soup really lives up to it's name! :) Thanks for sharing the recipe, TLu! Made & enjoyed for the Topic of the Month Forum's Soup-Fest 2011 Tag Game.
