    This was very satisfying! The spicier the better so I also added cayenne pepper (to taste) and I had Northern Beans (white) so that is what I used. - 3/2/13

    Very Good. Everyone enjoyed. Cut back on some of the spices for the kids and did not use cumin, used 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 clove of crushed garlic, only pureed the one can of beans, used frozen corn (cooked), and thickened with a little corn starch. Salt and pepper to taste. - 2/12/12

    We love this soup... the perfect winter day warm up! My DH wants to try to use it as a base for a chili creation. I serve it with a small dollop of sour cream and fresh cilantro. - 1/20/10

    This soup has amazing taste and is easy to make. I only blended one can of beans along with the onions and garlic and that was it. Next time I'm going to try the HOT rotel, instead of the original...My husband LOVES this... - 1/12/10

    This is a great tasting soup! I have made it twice and only blend one can of beans, nothing else. I use frozen, rather than canned corn. - 4/15/08

    This is pretty tasty! I think next time I would only puree one of the cans of beans.
    I prepared it as the recipe called for, but then I put it all in the crock pot and let it simmer for a few hours. I served it with cornbread. I'd make this again, and maybe add jalepenos for more spice. - 3/29/09

    Sooo good - reminds me of the black bean soup at panera, only more colorful. I only pureed the first can of beans since I like a chunkier soup, and only used 1 c. of broth. I topped it with a spoonful of fat free cottage cheese. Delicious, inexpensive, and easy - will definitely be a regular. - 9/20/08
