Excellent soup! I love that it cooks away in the crock pot while you're free to do other things. I ended up setting my crock pot to high and cooking it for approx 3 hours. I did this at breakfast time and it was ready for our lunch. I halved the recipe it was PLENTY! In fact, I don't think the full recipe would have fit into my large crock pot! I subbed out the hamburger and tried it with Morning Star veggie crumbles instead. It worked great!
