This was awesome! I did use beef broth instead of vegetable , nixed the celery, and added some tofu for fun. IT was soo good.

I followed the recipe closely, and this soup was just bland. It needed more spices and the veggies were still a little crunchy. Next time (if I even tried it again) I would simmer for at LEAST 20 mins, if not more.

Very good. I halved the beans, and pureed a jalepeno pepper with the can of tomatoes and can of beans. Quick, simple and delicious...I'll probably be making this again.

Not a vegan, not even a vegetarian, but I think this soup is delicious and so easy to make.

I practically live on this soup - it is soooo good. Word of warning - careful which type of chili powder you use - I recently changed brands to a local brand (I live in Asia) and the soup was so spicy I had trouble eating it.

Great soup for a cold winter day. I usually follow the recipe exactly `but I got distracted while cooking this time. After adding the broth & 1/2 the beans to the carrots, onions & celery I pured it ~oops! It still turned out great! Thanks for a wonderful bowl of soup.

I am eating this soup as we speak, and I really like it. I was kind of scared, but it turned out great. The flavor is good. I used organic vegatable broth, used 3 cans of beans instead of 4, and didn't have any cumin. I agree with some posts that it has a beany taste to it, and can't taste the tomatoes, but it's fixable for next time, I may add 2 cans of beans and 2 of tomatoes. It looked so good before I blended the beans and tomatoes, so I think it would work even without blending them, if you like chunky. All in all, it's a quick, hot, satisfying soup, especially on this snowy, wintery night! Thanks for sharing! I'm going for seconds right now!

This was VERY good. I am not a vegan so I added some cheddar cheese on top. It was so delicious all the way through! I will make this again many times.

I thought this was only "okay". It needed more flavor in my opinion, maybe more garlic or some spicy peppers. I added about a tablespoon of Thai chili sauce and more chili powder and it still wasn't spicy enough. It made a ton of soup, so if I ever make it again I would halve the recipe. I probably won't make it again, though.

I thought this was great! I was a little worried it would be a little too bland, but the natural flavors of the soup were really good...although if you like things salty, you might want to add just a little salt to it. I didn't add celery since I didn't have any, but basically followed the recipe exactly. Very easy and very good!

This is excellent!! I was worried that it would be too beany or taste like chili missing somthing, but it's great. I added a little more pepper and a little cayenne pepper to really spice it up and it was awesome. I definetely recommend this :)

Sorry, but I really didn't like this one. I followed the recipe exactly, but it was way too "beany." The spices were unexceptional, almost bland, and I couldn't taste the tomatoes or anything else but bean. The recipe made a ton, and I threw almost all of it away. Two stars for health and convenience, though.

This was good but I think I was expecting something more from all the good reviews. Overall, easy to make and tasted fine, but it wasn't special enough to make again.
