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 🙂
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!
We love this soup! I make mine with orzo instead of rice and it turns out perfect every time!
Could I use pearl couscous instead of rice?
sure
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.
Would cream of mushroom soup work!?
Sure – any cream of soup should work fine.
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!
THoughts on lime instead of lemon? Just because I have one in the fridge. ????
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. 🙂
I made this today and it is awesome! Thanks for sharing.
SO glad you enjoyed it! We are making it again tonight – SO good!!
do you think it would work okay with brown rice?
Yes – you will just need to adjust the cooking time. Brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice.
