This was wonderful. I didn't see cranberry beans in the store so I substituted Great Northern as another reviewer mentioned. Otherwise I stuck to the recipe as-is and loved it.

This is a great recipe. I used the original recipe once and have since modified it to meet the tastes of my family. Easy in the slow cooker too.

This recipe had a wonderful base, but needed something. I added fresh basil and some dried oregano. Also used low sodium broth and bacon. We substituted dried pasta for the rice, as I did not have any at the time. My family loved it. Even the grand kids came back for seconds.

For some reason, I didn't care for this soup. I found that it lacked taste, and I didn't like the combination of all the ingredients. I will not be making this again.

This soup is FABULOUS! All 5 of my kids liked it, and that is nothing short of a miracle. There are so few things outside of mac & cheese, chicken nuggets, and pizza that please them all, but this soup did. This one will be a regular in our household. Thanks!!

Absolutely delicious!! My husband kept saying, between spoonfuls, "This is soooo good! This is one of the bset soups I've ever had in my life!" I was worried with all of the bacon (cooked in oil, no less) that it would be greasy, but it was not at all. The fat content is actually relatively low when you consider the huge amount of soup it makes. I will definitely be making this again!!

This is an outstanding soup recipe! I simmered a leftover ham bone in about two quarts of chicken stock (add water if needed) for about 30 minutes or until the meat fell off of the bone. Then,I used 4 slices of regular bacon which I browned with the vegetables as the recipes instructs. I added this mixture to the soup and then tossed in the other ingredients. I added one 15 oz can of Goya small white beans,a can of pinto beans and just one 15 oz can of diced tomatos. I added macaroni noodles at this time and then simmered it all for 30 minutes. I think the beans should be added at the end as the recipe instructs because they do get soft and a whitish foam cooks out of them. But even so, the soup looked and tasted wonderful. Remember that canned chicken broth already has alot of salt in it, so I did not add any - just pepper and parsley. It tastes even better a day later, and I was able to skim off some fat after it sat in the fridge overnight.

This recipe was delicious!! I could not find the cranberry beans, so I just doubled up on the white beans, but my husband and I really loved it. I see it being a comfort food in my family for years to come!

Wow, this was great! I followed the recipe with two changes. I 1 cup of instant brown rice, adding it for the second 10 minutes of the 20 minute simmer, and I added some old bay seasoning to add a little more depth of flavor, even celery salt instead of plain salt will add a little more flavor. We love this and I will definitely make it again!

Great Recipe...even better the next day. I added a little ham base, because I didn't have any bacon on hand. It added the smokey flavor without much fat.

This is excellent! Very easy to make. I did add a bit more chicken broth as I might have added a bit more of the veggies in it. My husband, who took one look and said "Yuck" ate three bowls of it and is even going to recommend it to the Italian Restaurant he manages!! We will definitely be serving this often thru the fall and winter.

I'm always on the lookout for low-fat, high fiber recipes so I was excited to try out this soup. I was not disappointed! I made a couple changes. I omitted the bacon - I am watching my cholesterol so decided to skip the fried meat. I couldn't find cranberry beans anywhere, even after making a trip to a health food store and searching high and low. I substituted for those with an extra can of white beans. In sum, the soup was delicious and I will be making it again.

This soup is really good-a meal in itself! The one thing I would change would be to add instant brown rice during the last few minutes of cooking, as brown rice takes so much longer to cook.

Mmmmmmmmmm! Very good! I made this last night and just got done eating some more of it for lunch. This was easy to make and tastes awesome. I was suprised by how few spices go into this soup, but it's still very full of flavor, any more spices would have been over kill I think. I made this according to the directions and it was great. The only change I made was in the beans, I just bought two cans of white beans, because i couldnt find the ones this called for, but it was still great. Next time I may add some mushrooms or sausage. This recipe is very easy to customize. Thanks for posting this! I'll make it again for sure!

This soup was so savory and delicious. My children and husband loved it! I used 'Roman' beans (which are the same as 'Cranberry'), and found them in the ethnic section of the supermarket. I also used 1 1/2 cups of chopped prosciutto, and regular brown rice. This recipe is a 'keeper'!

This is a really good soup and it even got better the longer that it sat. I used diced prosciutto and Great Northern beans because I had no idea what cranberry beans were. Also used instant brown rice (preparing according to the box directions) and it turned out great. Went well with a Berenger Zinfindal.
