This was just the basic recipe I needed to use up a couple of things in the fridge. I made a creamy potato soup a couple of nights before and had some leftover. I made a half recipe of Sammye's soup and added a cup of the potato soup. I also only had a little bit of processed cheese so I sprinkled grated cheddar on each bowl of soup. Seasoned with 1 1/2 teaspoon of taco seasoning. I used one can of Rotel and some vegetable juice. Frozen corn. I used a can of ranch-style beans plus a can of red beans. I drained the red beans. Made a great soup. I'll never have the exact ingredients again, but this soup is a wonderfully versatile idea. I'll be using this recipe again.

Simple, cheap, and yummy! I used only 1 can of beans since I'm nursing and I used some taco seasoning in the meat and omitted the onions. Also, I used Mexican style corn as others have used. We had it as a soup for dinner with crushed up blue corn tortilla chips and sour cream on top. For lunch the next day (this recipe makes a lot) we had it as a dip. Also, I made it for my sister as a freezer meal and used a heavy duty zip-loc and it froze beautifully and she said it tasted great!

This was really tasty! I don't know if I would call it a soup... more like a cheesy chili. Anyway, it's good! This would be a great soup for football Sundays; it is very rich and filling. I halved the recipe, omitted the onions, added a clove of garlic that I sauteed with the meat. I added a generous shake of taco seasoning and used a can of Mexicorn instead of regular corn. Served with homemade tortillas for dipping. Very good, thank you! :)

I used Ro-Tel which made it somewhat spicy (too spicy for my 10-yr old). My 13-yr old and husband loved it, though! I also added some taco seasoning and sprinkled tortilla chips as a garnish. Afraid to think how fattening it is!

I cooked the onions with the ground beef, as reviewed. I used some leftover canned tomatoes and salsa that I probably wouldn't have used otherwise, in place of the tomatoes listed. Great to eat with chips and very filling!

Yummy and very, very easy! I used venison instead of beef (seasoned w/ taco seasoning), and kidney beans instead of ranch-style beans. This is a good, quick meal.

I made this for my husbands pot luck at work. I did not want to send it after I tasted it. It was delish. Before he came home I had an email from his coworker begging for the recipe! I am making this again tonight for dinner...cant wait.

This was easy to make and had a good flavor. I might try using shredded cheddar cheese next time because I feel Velveeta can often be salty. I also sauteed the onion first. Overall nice recipe.

This is one of my families favorites. We all love it. This soup is so hardy that we use tortilla chips instead of a spoon to eat it.

I also do as S. Orlando does with this and use it as a dip. I've been making it for years, only adding in taco seasoning for added flavor boost. Whenever I make it, I always make copies of the recipe on 3x5 cards for the guests. Everyone always wants the recipe.

I have made this many times but I don't consider it soup. It's great to put in a crock pot and serve as a dip.

Outstanding! Can I give 10 stars??? This was the best meal I've had in weeks. Fantastic! I seasoned the ground beef with taco seasoning, used only one can of beans, and a small can of corn. I also used about 3/4 a pound of Velveeta. I served this in big bowels with crushed tortilla chips on the bottom. We dipped warm flour tortillas in the soup. I topped mine with Seasoned Salt, and hubby topped his with extra raw onion. YUMMY!!! Thanks for sharing, this is defientaly a keeper!!!

This is excellent though I don't know if I would classify it as a soup; more like a hearty dip or as my husband calls it, a cheesy stew :) I used ground turkey (we don't eat red meat) and it worked out fine. Didn't have any canned tomatoes with green chiles handy, and so instead, I used 1 cup of medium salsa (Big Lots has a southwestern salsa with black beans and corn). Delicious!!! I also added about 1/2 packet of taco seasoning, as suggested by other reviewers, and also omitted salt. This was a great meal, served with heated crispy taco shells and a salad.

This is a 5-star recipe if you add a packet of enchilada sauce mix or taco seasoning. Next time I'll chop the tomatoes so they're similar in size to the beans and corn. Delicious!
