This was an okay recipe, not outstanding or worth repeating.

Very easy to make and my husband loved it. I recommend not leaving the soup on warm on the eye because it burned the rest of the batch. That was my fault. Will make again.

Very easy and tasty. Mu husband made it and it was really good. He said it was very simple to make - just cook the beef and then throw it all in the pot to simmer. We had it with salad to make give us some nice crunchy green stuff along with the chunk, creamy soup.

Excellent recipe! I used only 2/3 of the cheese due to other reviews that said it was more like a dip than a soup and cooked the onions with my hamburger and added some garlic with the meet as well. Didn't have ranch beans so I added a can of black eyed peas and they soaked up the flavors wonderfully. Rave reviews by EVERYONE!!!! Thanks for the recipe.

Made this receipe exactly as written and it had a very bland flavor. Added a few spices and still didn't make flavorful.

Yummy! I sauteed' the onion with garlic cause we like garlic. Added some southwestern spice, a little crushed red pepper and we were ready to go. For serving, I sprinkled with some chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream and sprinkled with some taco chips. I would call this more of a "chowder" than a soup, but delicious just the same. For those reviewers concerned about type of bean...add the kind you like i.e. kidney, black or pinto. And, if you like a less thick consistency, do what another reviewer suggested.....add some broth. Thumbs up for this cool weather soup here in the midwest.

This will be great on a cold, winter day. A little heavy with the cheesy taste, but makes an excellent dip with taco shells. My daughter-in-law went back for seconds...well,knock me over with a leaf! I think I'll reserve all the liquids and add them as needed to make a dip, but needs a little more liquid to be a "real" soup. But this is a keeper.

Excellent soup, easy to follow recipe. I gave four stars because I had to double the Velveeta to get the texture I wanted, but I think that is a personal taste thing. I love the whole kernel corn, it adds texture, and a little sweetness. I am vegetarian, so used reconstituted Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) {2 cups dry} for the ground beef. Otherwise I followed the recipe to a T. Yummy stuff!
