Pretty spicy! I used half chickpeas/half black beans and added some swiss chard and orange bell pepper. A good solid vegetarian soup.

This was okay for me. It was good but not "wow, great!" I used chicken stock and sauteed my onions, garlic powder, carrots, and added green pepper first which I recommend. I also used dry black beans which worked great as well. If you are like me and like a lot of flavor, up the spices! Overall an average recipe.

May want to mention that the many canned items should be drained. If not, it comes out terrible. I will try this again drained.

This is a 5 star soup all the way! I followed the recipe, but was concerned that it would be too salty so I added a cut potato to adsorb some of it, and added 2 bay leaves for a nice long, slow simmer. It was so delicious!! We will definitely be making this again through the fall and winter!

I thought this was a delicious recipe! I only had 2 cans of black beans, so I used a kidney bean and a garbanzo bean in place of the 2 other black beans. It is so simple and easy with great flavor. I will use this again for sure!

I really liked this recipe. Looking at the recipe, it seemed a little bland, so I added a bit of smoked paprika and oregano and increased the other spices. It was so yummy with some sour cream and toasted tortilla triangles. However my boyfriend was not so enthused :(

Great recipe! My husband and I love having this soup for dinner. We usually add or subtract a few veggies depending on our particular taste at the time. We usually eat it a few nights in a row, and it just gets better each night!

very yummy & hearty soup that my boyfriend and I LOVE! (and we're not even vegan..haha). I don't have a food processor, so blending the beans & tomatoes is a bit harder in a blender. I only use 3 cups of broth, initially and then use the other cup to use in the blender in the 2nd step. The liquid helps everything blend much better & smoother & keeps your blender from blowing up!

While this was really good, there were some things I would change. I like a more chunky soup so I only used one cup of broth instead of four. I also blended up one can of black beans instead of two. The cumin and chili powder were a little overpowering so I added a few sprigs of fresh cilantro and 2 Tbsp canned green chilies.

I changed some things around. I soaked 1/2lb of dry black beans, didn't have any celery, and added frozen corn instead. I also added some green chillies. It came out nice and thick after cooking for 1 1/2 hours. Good soup.

very good - easy to make. I love that it had the vegetables in it - may not fit with southwestern theme but one more tasty way to eat your veggies!

This soup was great!!! I was surprised, I was a little concerned about how it was going to turn out. The only thing i did was add a little red pepper and i used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, i didn't have vegetable broth. Will defently be making this again.
