RED BEANS AND RICE SOUP BY ROBIN HAAS

I got the recipe several years ago from a fellow blogger.  This recipe should work for most diabetics, too.

Red Beans & Rice Soup

A healthy vegetarian soup loaded with beans, veggies and brown rice--just combine all the ingredients in your crock pot and top with green onions and tomatoes.
