This was a good recipe. It is not real hot, spicy but had enough seasoning to be tasty. The only change I made was to add more beans. It looked like a tomato veggie soup with just the pinto beans so I grabbed a can of small red beans from my cupboard to add too. For my own taste I might spice it up - 10/9/10
