Comments

  1. I love this soup!! I made it for my mom who doesn’t like garlic nor anything spicy. I cut the garlic and amount of Greek seasoning in half when I made it. I am happy to report that she ate the entire bowl I gave her!!

  2. This has been a staple in our house for years! I literally have the Cavender’s seasoning for the sole and only purpose of making this soup – and I’ve bought at least 3 times already! I’ve made this for meal trains, potlucks… EVERYONE loves it! Thanks so much for this delicious and healthy recipe 🙂

  3. I really like this! Still working on getting the rice perfect in the slow cooker, but far from that point and the soup is still amazing! I am adding Papa Gyros for seasoning, which I bought off Amazon Prime and it is free of MSG!

  4. We love this soup! I make mine with orzo instead of rice and it turns out perfect every time!

  5. This was delicious! I could not find Greek seasoning in our stores (weird) so I found a recipe for it online. It might taste a little different than the kind you use. Some recipes called for cinnamon but I did not use it in mine. Very tasty! I did add a little bit of spinach near the end as I had some to use up.

      1. I am not sure as I haven’t tired that. If you try it, you may need to reduce the amount of liquid in the soup.

  6. I really enjoy Greek food and this looks like an easy and super delicious variation of a soup I like. Putting the ingredients on this weekends grocery shopping list now!

    1. I haven't tried it with lime but I would be interested to know how it turns out if you do try. Personally, I think I would use it as a garnish in a sparkling beverage served along with the soup. 🙂
