This recipe was great. I followed it as written and it was simple and tasted wonderful. My kids couldn't get enough of it. Great served with warm cornbread.

Great recipe! Very easy to make and modify to suit the ingredients on hand. I like to add hominy.

Loved this soup. I added zucchini instead of carrots because it's what I had on hand, and some cumin for more flavoring, but otherwise kept the recipe the same. Was great on its own, and put it over rice the next day for a heartier stew. Fantastic!

Not the best soup I've ever made, but it was okay. Even after doubling the spices, I still felt like something was missing. I added fresh cilantro to each bowl and that made the soup a little better. Probably won't make again.

SO good. Reminds me of the veggie soup my grandma made when I was a kid. It's so tasty and filling. I added cooked cabbage, sweet peas, and small red potatoes. YUMMMMM.

When I first saw this recipe, I didn't think it would be very good. But, I thought that I needed a soup that was different from any I have ever made and I have been feeling a bit lazy...and this was sooooo easy to make. I was totally shocked at the taste!!! It is soooooo amazingly good! Thanks for this recipe. I did top each bowl with shredded Cheddar Jack cheese and tortilla chips on the side. Thank you for sharing this recipe with me!

This was really good and simple. I did use only 2 cups chicken broth, 2 cans of black beans and a can of refried black beans with lime. I did have to thicken it up a bit (my preference) with a little corn starch. Great the first nite even better the next day. Thanks.

A great healthy hearty soup to serve for dinner. My very picky finance liked it and that's saying alot. Next time I think I'll put the carrots in the blender as Mr. Picky didn't like looking at them, but didn't mind their flavor. A keeper. ****Update**** I was craving this soup and decided I needed it agin for dinner, then realized I didn't have an onion and had only one carrot. I went ahead and made it anyway, omitting the onion and adding two turnips (all I had). After I suateede the catot and turnups, I put them in the blender (so Hubs wouldn't complain about the funny colors) with half the beans and the tomatoes. After I combined all ingredients and let simmer for awhile, soup still looked a little thinner than I wanted, so I added another small can of black beans. Result was wonderful! A thick chili like consistancy that helped me sneak some extra veggies in. A very forgiving recipe that I love even more now!

This is super healthy and delicious. My son and I are still eating and loving it! I followed the suggestion of other reviewers and used 2 1/2 cups of chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.

This soup was delicious, however I did make my own substitutions. Instead of using veggie broth, I used beef stock and I also added half a can of tomato paste to thicken it up.

I made a few changes and it was pretty good. I probably would not make it just for me again but my boyfriend LOVED it. I used 2 1/2 cups of organic broth. It was then the perfect thickness for my taste. I also added Tony Chachere's "More spice" seasoning which i think really made it and makes everything tastes better. I did not have carrots but added 2 stalks celery instead.

Pretty good. I did follow some pieces of advice from previous reviewers though...used 3 cloves garlic and added some celery, added a little more chili powder and cumin, and used Fiesta Corn. I think next time I will definitely use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth too. I didn't this time because I had some veg stock I needed to use up. I didn't care for the flavor the veg broth gave it though. It was bland. Overall though, with some tweaking, this was a good recipe. Topped it with tortilla chips and shredded cheddar and would maybe even top with some plain yogurt or sour cream next time.

I had this soup at a friend's today and I made it tonight. This is a wonderful lenten meal. Filling and only 3 points per serving for those counting. I made the mistake of opening a refried black bean can instead of whole beans. It was flavored with lime, I threw it in for the blended beans and it was delicious. Took the advice of others and added extra garlic and beans. Yummy!

I used diced tomatoes and wanted to keep those chunks, so I blended half the beans with broth instead. It's a little watery and bland as written. I let this simmer for hours to develop the flavor and to thicken a bit, and I added a Tablespoon or so of salt.
