5 stars and then some! I forgot the potato, so added a little extra rice instead. This was super! And I can see making it again on a chilly night! Made for your football win! This was so good that I've made this for the second time recently - really terrific soup! -

I LOVE this soup! That little bit of cinnamon gives it a delightful taste that makes this really unique. It's just a hint/perfect amount. I love that this has both rice and potatoes, too. Yum all the way around and back again. Thank you! -
This soup was a pleasant surprise; easy to make, filling and delicious! To lighten this a bit I used turkey sausage instead of ground beef and only half the amount; I made up the difference with quartered fresh mushrooms which I sauteed with the other veggies. I was surprised by the addition of the cinnamon - the flavor was subtle but you could really notice it in the aroma of the soup. Thanks for sharing your recipe! -

I wish I could of rated this two days ago, because this would make my top 2009 "Top Favorite Recipes". We loved this. Everything about it. I followed this exactly, except for two changes that would not effect the recipe in the least, 1) was saute' the ground beef in cooking spray and reduced the oil to less then a teaspoon, 2) Used 1/4 cup of uncooked brown rice instead of 1/2 and reduced the potatoes to one cubed, all this to make it more diabetic friendly. The taste would still be the same, as this would not have a bearing on the greatest, most delicious soup of 2009. Thanks, Lori!! Made for *January Soup Month* Diabetic Forum January 2010 -
Wonderful! It's a complete meal in itself. I used lean ground turkey breast instead of ground beef. So because of that, I used beef broth, not vegetable broth. We garnished the soup with parmesan cheese. The little bit of leftover soup I had was just as good, if not better the next day. Thanx! -
This soup is outstanding! If you have ever had green pepper soup at a restaurant or homemade stuffed green peppers, this tastes just like that. I did use tomato juice in place of the V8 juice and beef broth in place of the vegetable broth. I also added about 1/2 cup more brown rice and would suggest using about 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef if you would like more meat. I have had mine simmering for several hours now and the taste is fantastic. The potatoes are not mushy and the rice has not overtaken the soup. I also added about a tablespoon more of brown sugar. This is a great recipe that you can make your own depending on your tastes. Thanks for sharing.
