1. What would happen if I cooked this on low for 12 1/2 hours? That's how long it is from the time I leave for work until I return.

1. 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.

2. 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!

3. This was a great soup - very easy to make and healthy, and delicious. I used lentils (cooked) instead of the rice since I was out of brown rice, and used kale instead of spinach, because it holds up better in a soup, and I like the change. I do agree with other reviews that this does not need to be made in the slow cooker, but for convenience it's a great method for sure.

5. Very good soup. For those who found it bland, throw in some red pepper flakes. I do this for almost all my soups.

3. Great soup! This was very flavorful. I used Kale instead of spinach and had to add some water as it was getting too thick. Next time I will add more beans and maybe zucchini. Thanks Lainey!

4. Soup just doesn't get simpler! Why open a tin of soup again, this is so easy, with just a little prep. To be perfectly honest I didn't expect this to be as good as it is, because the ingredients are so simple. But I love it! I followed the recipe exactly, only I was out of those beans and used a tin of black beans instead. Throwing this all into the crock pot really did only take 10 minutes. And it's been on high for about 3 1/2 hours (at 2 1/2 the rice wasn't quite cooked). For me this looks like 4 good sized portions. Thanks Lainey, this is a keeper. :)
