My slowcooker and vegan modified Bean Soup Recipe

Ingredients:
2 tbsp vegetable or olive oil (i use EVOO)
1 coarsely chopped onion
1 clove garlic, finely minced (i always use more than this...at least 3. we LOVE garlic!)
1/2 cup sliced celery
1 cup nine bean soup mix (i sometimes use 1 1/2 cups, to up the protein)
(this bean mix contains: green whole peas, green whole lentils, small red beans, small white beans, light red kidney beans, pinto beans, red split lentils, black beans, and black eye beans. i suppose you could just use a mix of whatever beans you have on hand...but this mix tastes very yummy!)
6 cups water
2-3 tbsp veggie bouillon powder
(the original recipe calls for 4 cups of chicken stock and 2 cups of water, if you want to do that instead of the water and bouillon)
1 28 oz can of diced tomatoes (or equivalent fresh. sometimes i add one or two extra fresh diced tomatoes)
salt and pepper to taste (i do this right before serving, and find it doesn't need much at all)
optional: parmesan cheese to garnish

Directions:
Soak beans overnight. Either in a pan or in the slowcooker (takes about 20 minutes on high), saute onion, garlic, and celery in the vegetable oil until celery and onions are translucent. Add the beans, water/chicken stock/bouillon, and tomatoes. In a slowcooker, cook on low for 6ish hours?...this recipe is pretty forgiving time-wise. If cooking in a pot, bring soup to boil, then reduce heat to med-low, cover, and simmer for about 2 hours. add salt, pepper, and parmesan, if desired.

If you try it, please let me know what you think of this recipe!
i can't believe it forgot to mention the jasmine rice! i was eating this tonight, and thought ... oops! it is not in the original recipe, but i ALWAYS serve this with jasmine rice (usually leftovers). we just put a big spoonful or two of rice in our bowls, then scoop the soup in. i'm sure it would be good with any rice, but jasmine rice ... mmm! and when i'm using leftover rice, i don't warm it up (we don't use a microwave - warming it up would be too much work if it's going into hot soup anyway!), so it helps cool down the soup a little bit...
yeah, i think the rice is an important part of this recipe for us...sorry i forgot to mention it earlier!

I made this, but it came out more like Italian Chili In fact, I just posted the recipe
