This is delicious! Was looking for a recipe that would let me use up a lot of cans of beans, and this fit the bill perfectly. I didn't have any tomatoes, so I left them out. I also left out the olive oil. I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, and frozen sweet corn instead of canned. The rest of the recipe I followed as written. I love adding some of the beans as puree - gives the soup a nice thickness.

Today was clean out the fridge day and wonder of wonder, virtually all ingredients called for were lurking in dark corners. Halved recipe and used homemade beans instead of canned along with Rotel instad of diced tomaties. I made the chli version and am in love with your recipe. Haven't pureed it yet - not sure if I will or not, but had a bowl for lunch along with cornbread. Delish. Cooked chicken (I used chicken broth) would be great thrown in. I can also see throwing in leftover steak next time (using beef broth) for a more hearty meal type dish. In any event, I did not find bland whatsoever - maybe it was my beans as I love heavily flavored items. Thanks for recipe.

I made this recipe for my vegetarian daughter. She and the rest of the family absolutely loved it. Will definitely be making this again. I followed the recipe as is but did not add the maple syrup and used frozen corn instead of canned. Also added thyme, basil and parsley for added seasonings! Served this soup with cornbread muffins. Yummy soup...thanks for sharing your recipe!

This soup was very flavorful. I had so many beans in my pantry and I was searching for a recipe that I would like and my kids as well and this was definitely a winner. I didn't have maple syrup so I omitted that. I also didn't have any corn but it was fine without. I added some fresh parsley in the last few minutes. It was great!

I made this with the maple syrup... it was ok, but nothing to write home about. Needs a little more flavor. I'll have to play with it to make it just right, but my kids had a hard time eating it.

I made the maple syrup version, and I have to agree with other reviewers that said it was bland. However, it wasn't so bland that I wouldn't have eaten it as it was, so I don't think this is a bad recipe. It thickened up really nicely. For my tastes, though, I added some curry - which made it AWESOME. (But then, I love curry!) Next time I make it, I'll either try the chili powder version or skip the syrup altogether and just use curry. Thanks for the recipe!

I added some potatoes and about a teaspoon of dried basil. Very tasty. Put a bit of low-fat sour cream on top of a bowl of it, which gave it a little bit of something something.

Great, used 1/2 can of Rotel tomatoes to add extra flavor to the Chili powder version. Also added Barley for a healthy grain. Kids liked it too because they couldn't see any tomatoes!

This was the blandest soup I have ever made. Not sure I can even call this a "base" soup. I followed the directions exactly then went back to double check that I didn't make an error. I made the maple syrup version, it didn't have any flavor besides the beans, so I added salt and a general no salt seasoning and red pepper flakes. It helped but it still wasn't good. I noticed most of the good reviews were for the version using the chili powder.
