Did make a couple of small changes here, cutting back a little on the amount of cumin, & adding a shake or two of lemon pepper, but other than those small things, the recipe was followed right on down, & we had a great tasting soup, & one I plan on making again! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in the current round of Pick A Chef] -
Well I have to admit this is very easy to make! It seemed like it needed a little more spice to it, I can't figure out exactly what it's missing. I topped with fat free sour cream and shredded cheese. Thanks for the recipe! -
Lots of flavor, lowfat, and very little fuss.... loved it! I made this according to the recipe, but just added a little garlic. I garnished with the sour cream (light) and crushed corn chips. I also had some shredded cheese to serve on the side for garnish. Thanx for a yummy and healthy soup! -
This is my family's new favorite soup. Hearty, delicious and inexpensive. At one time we had to substitute with some kidney beans, and this recipe was still delicious! Very good choice.
