I just made this on a wet, cold December afternoon. It's fantastic! It's very tasty, healthy, hearty, and perfect for a winter day. I am a vegetarian, so this is right up my alley. I used vegetable broth, and doubled what the recipe called for. I don't know if it's my crock pot or the recipe, but it dried out fairly quickly on low heat with the amount called for. I added a bit more seasoning and salt for taste. I made grilled cheese sandwiches to go along with it. This will be going in my recipe collection for sure!
