I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out great! I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work. It was so easy and convenient.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder. Otherwise, the soup was great.

This soup was easy to make and turned out great! I used canned beans and tomatoes, and it still tasted delicious. I served it with a side of naan bread and it was the perfect meal.
