This was very good. Even my 8 yr old ate two bowls. (yeah right, spinach?...ewwwww!) I added a bit of salsa and bacon and omitted the rice. (don't care for rice) Plus, the cheese I used was a different white melting cheese b/c I have never seen Asiago sold here. This will be served in my kitchen again. Thanks!

I liked the addition of spinach towards the end . . . it was so fresh and healthy. I thought the taste was sort of bland, but I really like spicy foods so that might be it. My husband thought it was good. Again, I used quinoa, so not sure if that changed the taste of it or not.

It's a WINNER! Really enjoyed this soup. The soup is very thick and delicious and healthy to boot. The only changes I made were to sub crushed tomatoes for puree and to use a cup of frozen chopped spinach instead of fresh (still added it at the end of cooking). Mine too took 3.5 hours to get the rice completed cooked and to be honest, my onion still wasn't complete softened. I skipped the cheese which made this a fabulous vegan lunch. I think you could easily add zucchini to this soup. THANKS!

Delicious soup! This also reminded me that I love my crock-pot - it makes me SO happy to come home and NOT have to cook sometimes! Very easy to put together, great flavor, smelled awesome, and cheap too! I used a package of frozen chopped spinach that I thawed out. My BF liked it, but when I mentioned that it would be good with some italian sausage thrown in, he LOVED that idea. May try that next time.
