Even though I thought this might turn out bland, it was very good! I added 2 chicken buillion cubes, 2 BIG fresh diced Jalepenos (really kicked up the spice nicely). I added quite a bit more garlic, and 2 Tbsp of red wine vinegar. The last 10 minutes I added some 'quick cook' barley to make it a bit more hearty. This was much better than other 'multi bean' soups I've tried!

I tried this yesterday and it was excellent. I added andolle sausage and used chicken broth and a cup of red wine. It turned out excellent. T took it to a soup sampling party last night and had rave comments on it.

Instead of water, I added chicken broth. But I was pleasantly surprised at the flavor of this soup. It was simple to make and even my 5 and 7 yr olds loved it! And they are usually very picky.

This was really good, but I made several changes. I used Italian turkey sausage and browned it before putting it into the crockpot. I used chopped onion instead of the onion powder. I used chicken stock instead of water. I also added some Italian seasoning--when I tasted it, it seemed like it needed a little something extra. And when the soup was nearly done, I added more chicken stock and some barley. In the end, it was very hearty and satisfying. It smelled a little weird while cooking, so I had my doubts, but it was really tasty.
