For those who can't have pasta. Add spaghetti squash. It gives you the feeling of having past without the calories. - 4/19/08

I really liked the Bob Mills soup mix. This soup was easy to make and easy to freeze. Thanks for the recipe! - 1/25/08

This sounds yummy with one problem: I would not be able to have the pasta in it. That adds too many calories to it! So instead of a soup mix with pasta, use the mixed dried bean packaets sold in regular stores. - 11/16/07

This was very yummy! Though I did add a bit of cayenne pepper to spice it up a bit. - 2/11/09

This was good. Even my son ate it happily. I only used 1 tsp of pepper, though... - 12/31/08

You can buy Bobs Red Mill mixes in Canada- at least in Alberta and BC. I see them in my local food market all the time. This sounds delish. - 11/11/08

It was very good but I couldn't find the Bob Mills soup mix. I made it without it and added green beens (10), fresh corn (two ears cleaned from cob) and a pinch of cayne (sp) pepper. - 7/22/11

Sounds like a winner and great for those cold evenings to come. Will attempt it in the Slow Cooker. - 11/15/07

I am making this tonight! I am a big fan of Bob's Red Mill products and I have made his soup, and the additions to it sound wonderful! I think I will substitute fresh baby spinich for the frozen though and add it the last 2 or 3 minutes of cooking! - 11/15/07

I love this hearty, umami rich soup. I substitute low sodium vegetable broth for 2 cups of the water.
It freezes well too! - 3/3/21

I made this almost exactly but did it in a Magic cooker where you get the pot hot and then put is in a thermal (left it for about 3 hours). After that I crunched up some frozen power green from Costco. Those things freeze very well for recipes including smoothies. Very good soup!!! - 7/6/15
