Good soup on a snowy day! I didn't have carrots. I added 2 tsp of cumin as I really like the flavour. I used one tin of Campbells' Vegetable Stock and a 28oz can of chopped tomatoes. I forgot to add the corn. I let the soup simmer for an hour and mashed it up a bit. It was excellent! I'm looking forward to the leftovers.

Excellent recipe. I added a bit more chili powder for some extra spice. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks!

Very good and so fast to make. My family loved it. The only change I made was to add a tad of cilantro to it.

Made this last week, and like others suggested, I used low sodium Chicken broth. This recipe was very tasty. My husband doesn't care for thick soups, so he loved this one. Even my mother-in-law liked it and I gave her a copy of the recipe

Wonderfully easy and tasty. Snuggle down to a bowl of this when it is cold and snowing outside. I miss real winters – hearty soups taste even better when it is cold outside.

I didn't have any stewed tomatoes so I used a smaller can of Rotel tomatoes with chilies and a little tomato paste that was left over from another recipe. Gave it just the right kick! Next time I will use an additional can of black beans, pureed, just because I like a thicker soup. Also, the corn gave it almost a sweet taste that complemented the other flavors very well!

I just made this tonight, and it turned out very good. Made the following changes: used three carrots, 2 stalks of celery, four cloves of garlic, about three 1/2 tsps. of hot mexican chili powder, two tsps. of cumin, used three cans of beans (drained all, then pureed half with two jalapenos and some beer to make the right consistency) & added a can of petite diced tomatoes with green chiles. I simmered this for around two hours. Turned out really good, just the right kick for my family - everyone loved it.

This soup was really good but I made a bunch of changes. I didn't have any carrots so I omitted them. I divided the recipe in half. I didn't puree the tomatoes and black beans since I was feeling lazy. I used fresh tomatoes and frozen corn. Also I added salt. It finished really fast and my husband absolutely loved it.

Quick to put together with ingredients I have in my pantry. Despite the simplicity of this recipe, I find others are always impressed. Love it.

This was so easy and so very delicious! I substituted chicken broth for the vegetable broth, and canned whole tomatoes for the stewed tomatoes - both because they're what I had on hand. I omitted the carrot because I don't care for them cooked. Really great and I'll make again!

Excellent recipe! So easy to make and goes together so quickly. I will admit that I didn't use all the chili called for as we like a little spice but not too much. The dollop of sour cream just makes the soup that much better. Will make again and again.

My husband and I thought this recipe was just okay. The kids didn't like it at all. It was just a little to spicy for my bunch.

This is excellent. I made it according to the recipe this time, but after reading through some of the reviews, I have so many ideas on ways to improve it.

Whole family loved it. I was going to substitute garlic powder and then forgot to add it completely. Will add it next time and will increase the chili powder and cumin next time for more flavor. Will also reduce the amount of broth to make it thicker. Great recipe.

This was very good - I think next time I will add a little more cumin (because I like it). I didn't have a food processor/blender so I couldn't really puree part of it properly (I used a handheld mixer). It was very filling and I served it with a little fat free sour cream - I am adding this to my recipe box.

This recipe was delicious as is and does not require any changes. My wife loved it even though it is meatless. I used a larger can of corn (11 oz corn w/sweet peppers) and 2 14.5 oz cans of vegetable broth. Other than that, I followed the recipe as indicated and it turned out delicious.

I made it to the recipe until the end. I added juice of half a lime and cilantro. The next day i remembered the avocado i had bought and added it cubed. It looked colorful and pretty with the yellow, orange, and green. Right before serving, I added a slice of colby-jack cheese on top to melt. I really prefer it with the avocado. All in all a nice healthy soup.
