Everyone loved this one. I personally thought it was a bit salty, would cut down on the salt next time. But it was an overall hit at our house. Kids like it too.

Instead of using packaged beans, I used canned beans.Much faster and didn't have to worry about uncooked beans. It was delicious. My husband loves it too. I make it a lot.

I adapted this recipe for the stovetop, and it couldn't be easier or faster or more delicious! I used canned beans and tomatoes, frozen vegetables for the rest (except onion). And it took only about 1/2 hour to cook on the stovetop!

This recipe must definitely be cooked longer. I gave mine a headstart by boiling on the stove for about 1 1/2 hrs first then putting in crockpot. I plan on adding rice and kielbasa sausage the next time I cook this one. I won Honorable Mention in the Chili/Soup Cookoff at my office with this recipe. It was a big hit.

I followed the instructions, but most of the beans in my bean mix were still pretty hard at serving time. I haven't seen that comment before, so maybe I had old beans, or maybe my crockpot doesn't cook hot enough, or maybe it's high altitude (I live at 6500'), but this is definitely NOT a keeper for us.

Make sure you cook the soup long enough! Beans may take longer than you think. Otherwise, great flavor!

This soup was a big hit at my house. It has a wonderful flavor and is very satisfying. I recommend cooking the beans a little longer before putting them in the slow cooker.

This is a good recipe but I found it to be a little bland - I suggest that if you make it you taste it ahead of time and plan to add seasonings to your taste. I marked it low on quickness because you have to soak the beans overnight, and then it goes in the slow cooker - so you have to start a day or so ahead of time with this one! And there are vegetables to chop, so I marked down on easiness because of that. But it really wasn't difficult to make and smelled great while it was cooking!
