    I like slow cooker recipes because they're minimal work and they don't create extra dirty dishes. There was more to this recipe than I prefer, and in the end it wasn't really chili, but simply bean and vegetable soup with chili powder. I had to add A LOT more seasoning. It was better with chips. - 10/29/17

    Great mix of veggies in this chili. It's a good combination but it definitely needs more spices. I added more chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Kind of just tastes like a vegetable soup otherwise. - 11/17/10

    Excellent recipe for the slow cooker. It turns out to have a great texture and flavor from all the different types of fresh veggies. My only hang up was it needs more spice flavor, a little bit of a kick. Otherwise, perfect. - 10/13/08
