I had some vegan guests for dinner and thought I would try this recipe. I also did it on the stove top since I only had a few hours. It was a HUGE hit. There were 10 dinner guests and everyone wanted the recipe...there was only 1 vegan! We have been trying to eat low fat and looking for different dishes to add to our healthier lifestyle. This is a keeper. We've made it several times since, with slight variations to do preferences and what is in the cupboard. It is always an enjoyable meal.

I am not a vegetarian but my daughter is & I was making this soup for her..well, I just might keep it!! This is very tasty. I made this in a soup pot on my stove instead of using my crockpot as I wanted to get it finished a little quicker & it turned out just fine. The only change I made was to use wild rice instead of white & added 2 more cups of water as I added a couple of extra carrots & it didn't seem to have enough broth. All in all...it was very, very good. Well, I suppose I should give some of it to my daughter :)

Use brown rice instead of white. Add uncooked brown rice to pot 1 hr before end of cooking time, or add pre-cooked brown rice 10 minutes before end.
