Great soup. Even if you decide to add your own flavor to this it's a great start. I have made this countless times and the pot is always empty after dinner is served.

I thought this was pretty good, nothing fantastic, just pretty good. My husband, however was VERY pleased with it and my two year old that only likes mac and cheese ate 2 bowls! So it gets a five because the family was happy and it was very easy to make. I did add 2 cans of water and 2 beef bullion cubes. I also just used a bunch of different frozen veggies I had. (I save small amounts of leftover veggies and freeze them for soups like this) I also cooked on low for 6 hours.

Really enjoyed this recipe. Tasted like something my mother used to make. A nice alternative to a beef stew and a lot healthier.

As others have noted, use chicken, beef broth, etc. to add more liquid or you will not have enough. This is an absolute keeper! It is good with or without Parmesan cheese sprinkled over the top. I also made it on the stove top in no time at all.

If you make this soup, be sure to use frozen or canned potatoes, as raw potatoes will not get tender in 4 hours on low.

This was pretty good, used frozen okra and 2 cans italian style tomatoes. I think I let it cook too long as the veggies were a little over done, but other than that, not bad.

Great throw together recipe. My household doesn't really do hamburger meat so I used ground turkey instead. Added a little worsestershire as some suggested. Great over rice. Thanks!

This soup was excellent. A great soup for the slow cooker, we could not stop eating. Usually, half ends in the freezer for left overs. None left over here.

I couldn't wait to break in my new crock pot with this recipe. I added some red pepper flakes and a few good shakes of oregano, which gave it more of an italian kick. I will definitely make this again.

I loved this soup and it was so easy to make. I was surprised that only one other person mentioned adding liquid to this soup. I even left the juice in the two cans of tomatoes and still found this extremely dry. I took another reviewer's recommendation of adding a can of beef broth (low salt) and it was perfect. I purchased a bag of frozen "soup vegetables" that already had the okra and potatoes in it. Made it that much faster to make. I can't wait to have some tomorrow since soup usually tastes better the second day. Thanks for sharing!

This was a great recipe. I added about 1 1/2 C of beef broth, used frozen veggies w/ okra added and did not add the ketchup. I also added 1 6 oz. can of tomato sauce. I've made this with the slowcooker and on the stove. Both were very good.

I used this as a base. I did not add frozen veggies, but canned ones instead because I did not have any frozen ones. Did not add any okra because I was afraid it would get slimy. Needed some seasoning, but other than that it is a good base. Thanks for sharing:)

Like LUZIANNADANNA, I bought the frozen veggie soup mix since it had potatoes and okra already in it. It took about five hours for mine to cook, but that didn't bother me. Also I only used one can of diced tomatoes. Otherwise, I followed the recipe as written. This is a staple item for cold, winter months.

I followed this recipe exactly with one exception: I used ground chicken breast, not ground beef. It all turned out quite good! 4 hours on low is probably good enough - I turned it to high for the last 2 hours because it took so long to hear up (what with the veggies being frozen and all), but in the end I would say my veggies and okra were over cooked, so I would stick with the creator's cooking reccomendation. Great left over too - I took a small portiona and used some corn starch to thicken it up - also turned out good. Will make again!

Great recipe. We added a lot more okra than was called for and we topped it off with fresh parmesan. We'll definitely make this one again.

I think the garlic and tomato paste makes this soup too sweet for my taste. Also it took a lot longer to cook than recommended in the recipe.

Great! Amazing how much flavor is in this soup! Kids love it and they are getting all their veggies! I saved time by using frozen vegetable soup mix (because it contains okra and potatoes in addition to the regular vegetables) I tripled this recipe and served it at my child's school for a program his class was having. Great cold weather soup, eat on it all day long right out the pot!
