Delicious. I tossed the ingredients in the crock pot early this morning and enjoyed a fantastic bowl of soup this afternoon. So easy to make. My tomatoes were a little acidic so I added a teaspoon of baking soda. The outcome was very enjoyable. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Made and enjoyed for PAC-O, Fall 2009
