My hubby and I are on a low glycemic diet and this soup adds a lot of welcome flavor to our lives. I have made it several times now and often omit the rice and reduce the amount of broth so it is thick and can be used as a side vegetable over fish or chicken. Made this way we can eat all we want of it. Brown rice is limited on this program so I will sometimes prepare it separately and add in the amount we can have after. It tastes even better the next day. An excellent recipe!<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"12\/13\/2009 17:50","GUID":"819729bbf071489893edbd62951304d0","MemberId":1754721,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"swesel","SubmittedDate":"12\/13\/2009 17:50"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"12\/05\/2009 06:58","GUID":"5f0b8e81aa5749109754400bc0f3b3dc","MemberId":4317475,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"ladyfoosa","SubmittedDate":"12\/05\/2009 06:58"},{"Comment":"
YUM! I used Jasmine rice (because that's what I had) and served some jalapeno flavored tortilla chips to round out the meal.<\/p>","CommentId":17,"DateRated":"11\/23\/2009 08:23","GUID":"3f25da09ca8946e998c0c10f5bc5218b","MemberId":3100774,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Lynnette68","SubmittedDate":"11\/23\/2009 08:23"}]},"breadcrumb":[{"term_id":312672,"name":"Soups","slug":"soups","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":312607,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Choose from a large selection of ingredients when making these irresistible soup recipes, including gazpacho, potato soup, vegetable soup, lentil soup, chicken soup, chowder, turkey soup, broth, bean soup, ham soup, barley soup, meatball soup and more.","parent":310796,"count":3196,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/dishes-beverages\/soups\/"},{"term_id":312680,"name":"Bean Soups","slug":"bean-soups","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":312615,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Beans come in all shapes, colors and sizes and can be used in these tasty bean soup recipes, including black bean soup, white bean soup, bean chili, vegetable bean soup and more.","parent":312672,"count":459,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","url":"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/dishes-beverages\/soups\/bean-soups\/"},{"term_id":312683,"name":"Black Bean Soups","slug":"black-bean-soups","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":312618,"taxonomy":"categories-v2","description":"Looking for recipes for black bean soup?
