A truly tasty soup! Cooked on stovetop rather than crockpot and otherwise followed recipe. Very delicious and the aroma as it was cooking made both my husband and I anxious to taste.Very easy to make. I Thank You for posting this recipe, and I will make this again.

It seems that everything I put in my slow cooker turns to gold. This was no exception! I served it over the hot rice with warm cornbread muffins. My mom and boyfriend said it was the best they had ever had! Thanks!

Very good! The changes I've made are using baby carrots (instead of cut up carrots), using Rotel tomatoes, 1 cup chicken broth and veg bouillion (out of chicken). I also added dry rice to the mixture but forgot to increase the liquid to cook the rice, so it was very thick--just how we like it--but I think it would be even better using the cooked rice as specified. Thanks for sharing this keeper which we will be having again soon!
