    I make this same recipe with black beans, kidney beans, and pinto beans. I also add a ranch seasoning packet to it. My husband doesn't even want regular chili anymore, he would rather have this! I don't put chiles in it either. I just use 2 cans tomato sauce, 1 can diced tomatoes, 1 can corn. - 8/8/09

    Very yummy, but if we are looking at reducing cost, it is much cheaper to use frozen corn instead of canned, and use dried bean instead of canned. - 11/12/08

    WOW! Look at the sodium content versus the calories. There are so many things I would do to alter this recipe and make it healthier and cheaper. - 11/11/08

    Is this really a healthy soup? It has almost the total daily recommended amount of sodium and is very high in cholesterol and fat. The amount of fiber and protein is good, but I don't see how this can be healthy. - 10/30/12

    I made this recipe exactly as it is written. My family did not think I needed to make it again. I thought it tasted too salty. - 5/5/11

    This soup was delicious! When I told my boyfriend I was making soup for supper, he said, "I can't get full from soup!" Now he wants the leftovers for supper tonight! I did add a cup of water because I wanted it a little more "soupy." I also put one can of black beans and one can of dark kidney beans - 12/1/09

    Have been using a similar recipe for several years. DH and DDs ask for it often. They all love it. I have made it with ground turkey for even fewer calories and it is also gooe that way. - 5/23/09

    I made and tried this today, I modified it a little as i'm a vegetarian and we didn't have certain ingredients. It was certainly yummy, I want more now!

    I replaced the mince with vegetarian mince, and added organic Puy lentils instead of kidney beans! & Made my own homemade taco seasoning.

    I made it as shown, draining the corn. It was quite good, but too spicy for my son. If I make it again I will leave out the can of green chilies. - 1/4/09

    Very good, very easy to put together. The recipe doesn't mention whether to drain the corn or the beans, I made this draining and rinsing the beans but not draining the corn, added the right amount of liquid to the soup. Also not too spicy, both my husband and daughter loved it. A new favorite! - 11/29/08

    This tasted great! However it is on the salty side. And also, the recipie did not state what size cans for the corns and beans. That said, I will be making this again!!! - 11/12/08

    some things to reduce the sodium content... no salt added canned corn, use chili powder and ground cumin instead of taco seasoning, since that has a high salt content, rinse the kidney beans, and use canned tomatoes and crush them up yourself with a potato masher. - 11/12/08

    That sodium amount is a little scary to me. Must figure how to reduce it, since otherwise it seems like a winner. - 11/12/08
