I served this over rice with cheddar on top. It was great! The only reason that I did not give 5 stars was it was lacking spices which I added myself....cumin, chili powder, ceyenne, season salt, and garlic powder (a little of each)

We increased the ingredients to serve 60 at a church meal and made it spicy! Worked wonderfully for us: simple, nutritious and satisfying. I give it only 4 stars because recipe did not call for spices (chili powder and cumin), which really made it delicious. Could easily be made vegetarian by substituting vegetable stock. Very well received.

This was so easy to make and really good. It really tastes great with the cheese on top. I will definitely make this again.

This would have been a 3-star recipe, but it gets 4 just because it was so unbelievably easy and fairly tasty for so little work. I think this would be good sprinkled with cheddar and served with tortilla chips. I had it with some pita bread and it was good. Needed a little salt, but that's easily fixable. Thanks for a good, easy recipe!

I added minced clove of garlic, 1 tsp cumin, 2 tsp chili pwd & 1/16 tsp red pepper (avoid if you don't like heat). I also added 2 tsps of chicken base (I love Minor's. When the soup was done, I removed 3 cups and pureed with my immersion blender then returned to the soup. Excellent results

I make this and my family loves it. I call it Fiesta Chili - I add more seasonings and sometimes chicken as stated in another review. You can do it hot or mild adding cummin, garlic, chili powder, jalapeno or other green, yellow or red pepper along with the bell peppers, and a handfull of frozen corn. It really looks nice and colorful and tastes like a fajita in a bowl. If you want to make it richer add a can of cream of chicken soup to the stock. You can also cut down on the sodium if you cook the dry beans instead of adding canned. You can top it with sour cream and/or shredded cheese and scoop it using corn chips as a spoon.

I tried this last night and it turned out great! I did dice up about a pound of pork and browned it with the onion & bell pepper. I also used pinto beans with jalepenos in them - YUM. Also served it with cornbread. VERY GOOD RECIPE

My husband and I both love this recipe, but I made quite a few changes. I didn't have chicken broth, so I added 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves to the recipe, chopped into very small pieces (pinto-bean size). I sauteed the onion & bell peppers along with 3 minced garlic cloves over medium-high heat in 2 tablespoons oil, and added the raw chicken when the veggies were tender. When the chicken was done, I added 2 1/2 cups water, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and ONE 15-oz. can of each of the following: diced tomatoes, refried beans (as one reader suggested), navy beans (drained), pinto beans (drained), and light red kidney beans (drained). I brought the whole mixture to a boil, then turned the heat down to low, covered and simmered for 30 minutes. We wouldn't have liked it without the chicken, but now it's one of our favorite soups!

I substituted a can of refried beans for one of the cans of kidney beans and added cummen, chili powder, chili pepper as well as 4 cloves of crushed garlic. Topped it off with grated cheddar cheese, sour cream and green onions. Very good, I will be making this again.

Very quick and easy, but is lacking any SPICES! It needs some chili powder, cumin, red pepper!
