Just made this but it was missing some garlic powder and dried rosemary, so after reading the reviews I took the aubergine & put it in the crockpot, along with a note saying don't cook it longer than stated, because the aubergine softenens the soup and I wanted to reduce the cooking time. It took almost no longer than I thought it would, I only changed something I did after cooking for a couple of hours. Once it cooled and turned out great. This is a wonderful soup!!

thanks forthe recipe, but it didn't add up because I put in small pieces of cucumber and zucchini instead of tomatoes, but also added 1-2 crushed red pepper flakes, 1-2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, and no hot sauce. it came out great!
