I made this recipe exactly as it called for. Boring...there was no spice at all.

Great soup!! I did not add corn but I did add creole seasoning, tobasco and I also added some shrimp for more protein then served it on some rice. I also put in 1 more cup of chicken broth and more black & red beans pureed which made the soup a little thicker.

This was great! I added a little cumin, cayenne and chili seasoning as others suggested. I also added cooked smoked sausage. I will add this to the list of dinners! The kids and hubby ate it up! Thanks

I added frozen red, green, and yellow bell pepper strips. It gives the soup a beautiful color.

Super yummy and healthy!! I made the following adaptations: vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, only one can of tomatoes, used a full cup of green chiles, used one minced hot pepper, and cayenne pepper to taste. With those adjustments, it was hot to our liking. Thanks for the recipe!

This is a great crockpot recipe, especially for church suppers. I use only black beans,instead of kidney beans, and spice the soup up with cumin and chili powder. This is a favorite at church and in our home on those cold New England evenings!

I made this for supper last night and did add extra garlic and cayanne pepper and it came out perfect. What a nice little zing it had!!! Matter of fact, looking at the recipe this morning I noticed I had forgotten the diced tomatoes. Forgetting this ingredient I was still very impressed with this soup, so I wont add this ingredient to my left overs, but I may possibly(?) add this the next time I make this. Great recipe Chelsea!!!

Easy recipe; family enjoyed it. Makes enough for two dinners for family of four. Couldn't find frozen shoepeg corn, so used regular frozen corn, and served with warm tortillas, and topped soup with shredded cheese. Tasty!!

The reviewer gave this recipe 3 stars. This recipe averages a 4.21 star rating.
Reviewed: Mar. 20, 2005
The only reason I'm giving this three stars is because my husband said it was "all right," meanwhile I did not care for it much at all, and I'd give it more of a 2.5. I fail to see how something can be called "spicy" when the only "spicy" ingredients are the green chiles, which really, are not all that spicy. Also, sugar is not exactly spicy either. Still, I noticed this before making it, and added plenty of cayenne pepper, chili powder and additional oregano and garlic powder. I made this in a slow cooker, so I left out the veg. oil, but kept everything else the same. I think this would be better minus the sugar, but I don't think I will be making it again.

Really good. This has become a staple at our house. We love to mix in a spoonful of sour cream to our bowls and sprinkle with cheese.

I agree that this is a good, basic soup recipe. I also had to "spice" it up a bit by adding cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, red wine vinegar, oregano, and basil. Adjust to your own taste, and you've got a winner!

I loved the basics of this soup - you had no spices OR "love" so I added a whole lot of cumin, chili powder, cayanne pepper, wayy more garlic and a can of creamed corn. I blended up a can of pinto beans and the tomatoes (sweet onion) to make it a bit thicker. Great Base reciepe!

On the good side, this was very easy to make and a good way to use up cans of beans. But it wasn't as good as my expectations -- just didn't have quite enough flavor for something called "spicy." But not bad either - just needs spiced up some.

I have been making this exact recipe for a couple of years. Funny how this matches the one of have been making from COOKING LIGHT. Aren't these supposed to be your own original recipes? Great soup recipe COOKING LIGHT came up with.
