Easy and tasty. Like others, I used pre-cooked brown rice. I also added some extra garlic, frozen corn, and garnished with cilantro.

My vegetarian daughter and I really liked this soup. We found the spices to be perfect with just a little kick. I used homemade salsa and regular rice. Thanks for the recipe.

Very tasty soup. I left it on the stove a while and it cooked down to be more of a stew consistency, which was actually great. I used brown rice that I cooked seperately and added fresh garlic instead of the garlic salt. I'll make this again.

I used cooked brown rice in this soup, and added it at the end of cooking time. Other than that I followed the recipe. We all loved loved, loved it! Thanks for sharing!
