I made this tasty soup however; I made 6 servings and I cheated and made it in a way that fits my busy schedule better . Since stews and soups cook so well in the crock pot I decided to use mine for this recipe. Once the smells started to permeate the air I couldn't wait any longer, so I ladled out a smidge and cooked it in the microwave. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing.

Excellent soup and very healthy. I'm not much into soups but this is simple and yet marvelous. No overpowering taste at all. It's also like a one dish meal since it has veggies, meat and it's very filling.

I live in Keilor Downs, Victoria in Australia. I am a receptionist in Melbourne. My favorite cook books are anything Weight Watchers or Simply 2 good 2 be true also any muffin or scone cook books. I love cooking easy stuff but I love a challange ocasionaly on the weekends when i have a bit more time. My pet peeve is how much capsicum/bell peppers are in recipes now as i am elergic to them.
