My 11 year old loved this soup, as did I. Added some left over white corn and a can of drained rinsed dark red kidney beans for just a little more texture and flavors. I used a medium heat salsa which gave it a little heat. Nice! Will make again...an easy and tasty soup! Thanks!

This is so much better than it seems it would be! I used bacon bits, but next time I might use bacon strips & remove before serving. I also added a can of rinsed pinto beans- gave more substance to the soup. (although it's good without- just thin.) Flavor is really great. You can add a dollop of sour cream to your bowl & mix it in, or not. Great both ways! And SO easy! Thanks for sharing.

Pretty good for a fast, cheap meal. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream and crushed tortilla chips. Will make again.

This was not bad, but not great either. We have had bean soups that we prefer over this one. I will probably not make this again.

It was pretty good. I used real garlic instead of the powder. I thought it was a tad bland even with using two cloves of garlic. I added some cumin and chili powder and that really helped. I think it would be really, really good with some fresh chopped cilantro on top. Thanks for the easy recipe.

This was excellent! I used five slices pre-cooked bacon (microwaved) and a little more garlic than called for. (Sauteed the veggies in two tablespoons butter.) Had to make a second batch to combine with the first as the recipe as written serves four, and it didn't look like enough for 4-5 people. We like leftover soup. Very tasty!

Excellent soup-I've made this MANY times! I do not add the bacon but do add a dollop of sour cream when serving(& sometimes crushed tortilla chips). You can easily make this low-fat too, using fat-free refried beans, 2% cheese, & fat-free sour cream. Very tasty!! Thank you!!
