Excellent vegetarian soup recipe that couldn't be easier. Although I didn't puree the soup and added 3 cut-up carrots during the last 3 hours of cooking it was done in about 12 hours on high in a 6-quart crockpot. We served this delicious soup with Sahara's Lowfat Honey Buttermilk Rolls recipe#54544 for a great middle-of-the week vegetarian meal. Thanks Dancer for posting another winner.
