  i made this soup last night and had to come on today to rate it. its great! we will definately be making this again. I added a can of rotells tomatoes with green chillies and diced up boneless chicken to it. I also added more broth for more servings. This soup needs no extra seasoning Thanks! - 2/20/09

  Good and filling! Did not have the flavoured black beans so added some tobasco and lime juice! Nice addition. Measured out before serving and it made 9 1/4 cups! So 1 serving is just shy of a cup! Also served with a dollop of fat free sour cream. - 1/21/08

  I re-entered in the recipe calculator for 4 servings at 238 calories. I mixed it up cold and divided evenly into containers for a quick grab & go lunch. I used Mild Rotel. Next time I will look for low sodium products. - 1/20/11

  This was a very good recipe! 2 points for WW people. I added some taco seasoning and a dallop of low fat sour cream so that would change the point value but this is excellent and so fast and easy! - 9/20/09

  This recipe was really easy. I used frozen corn. I ate 3 ladels full4lunch today&felt satisfied. It's got a great flavor&isn't overpowering. I was surprised it was refried beans that made the soup thicker. I put all the ingredients in a crock pot4over 6 hours and nothing got soggy. YAY! Thank you! - 6/21/08

  I'm not a big fan of soup but I love this! I did alter it a bit as well. I used Fat Free Chicken Broth and a few dashes of hot sauce, and I also sprinkle just a few shreds of low fat cheddar on it. My son loves it as well. Very filling and tasty. - 8/24/08

  My daughter loved this dish, she doesn't like tomatoes but was able to get pass that! I added chicken, lime juice, green onions and cilantro along with the chilli peppers that came with the crushed tomatoes! I will mos def make this again, except with fresh ingredients - sodium makes you bloat! - 1/13/10

  I had serious doubts, but this soup is easy, cost effective, nutritious, filling, and tastes fantastic! I added diced garlic and am looking forward to changing it up just a bit each time. If you want a hearty meal, calculate for 5 servings, instead of 10, which is approx. 285 calories. - 2/8/11

  good grief! I will try this soup exactly as written - did anyone READ that she began losing weight after adding it to her daily diet? Yes, I agree....rotel tomatoes. Unless, I use the frozen tomatoes from our garden and also the fresh frozen corn we BOUGHT in summer and froze. Lov our Food Saver - 11/20/10

  I had my doubts when I read this recipe, but the reviews talked me into it. It truly is easy and tasty. I made it with Cuban style black beans and salsa style refried beans from trader joe's.

  This soup is tasty, filling, and easy to make. That's a win-win-win! You can add spices like cumin and garlic, garnishes such as avocado, sour cream, or chopped cilantro - even grated cheddar for added protein. Super versatile. I'm sure this will become a staple of my eating plans. - 8/15/13

  This is so tasty! I added chili spices and some garlic powder. It's a great base recipe. I'll try varying it next time. - 8/20/10
