My kids picked out this recipe. I told them I had ground beef, onions, and tomatoes on hand, and this was the recipe they picked. They cooked it on their own. They are 11, 9, & 7 years old. They loved it. I may have had better soups, but this is a keeper!

I added corn and some red pepper for kick. Otherwise too bland. Loved the rich tomato flavor.

Very good. I added a couple of tablespoons of finely minced pickled jalepeno. Easy weeknight supper. This is one of my husbands favorite soups.

I make this exact same recipe but don't add the tomato sauce. Instead of kidney beans, I add a can of hominy and also a little chopped green chile pepper.

really good - I've been making this for quite some time and it is quite a bit better in the crock pot - excellent! Also, if you don't have a taco seasoning packet on hand, the taco seasoning recipe on this site is great!

My husband and kids LOVE this. I make it with a can of black beans and a can of ranch flavored pinto beans, top it with a dollop of sour cream and some shredded cheese, and eat it with chips. Yum!

This is pretty darn good. It does seem more like a chili with a really good kick to it. good for something a little different.

This thick soup was a hit at my house. I did put in 1 can of beef broth, 2 cans of tomato sauce, left out the bell pepper, and added 1 small can of diced jalapenos. I also added a small package of frozen corn. I found this was a very easy recipe, although I did fry the beef, onion, and jalapenos together (I think the taste and texture of onions comes out better when it's cooked with beef rather than boiled.) before dumping everything into a big pot and simmering for 1/2 an hour. At the end I served it with diced avacados, grated cheddar cheese, and sour cream. mmmmmmmmm.....I think I need another bowl.
