I found this recipe on another site and have been making it for about a year now. I do not add the rice. I also rinse the beans prior to adding them in order to reduce some of the sodium content. Other changes include: using frozen corn instead of canned (I just don't like canned.); omitting the garlic and adding cumin; sometimes adding sauteed onion and green pepper; using shredded grilled chicken breast instead of the canned chicken. I have also used tomatoes with jalapenos instead of green chilies. That was a bit warm for my taste. Therefore, I toned the heat down by stirring in a little cream. This soup is excellent topped with crushed tortilla chips and shredded cheese. Great easy and quick meal for busy days. I like it served with corn muffins.

Hey Ang! Thanks for the great recipe! I normally HATE when people rate a recipe that has been tweaked; your recipe is awesome, but I was out of some ingredients one day so had to substitute! I reduced the chix broth to one can (all I had,lol) I rinsed my black beans simply because I'm not a huge bean fan to begin with and I hate the cloudy can! I also subbed 1 cup salsa for the tomatoes and subbed the rice for I can of spicy fat free refried beans. It turned out very creamy as the refried beans seemed to melt and made the recipe quite rich and still lowfat! Thanks again for this awesome recipe! :)

My husband and I love this soup and eat it once a week. My husband is watching his cholesterol so we use two cans of beans instead of meat. I also throw in any fresh veggies I have available. I didn't have a can of corn so I used a bag of frozen sweet corn. The Mexican Rotel works wonderfully and I topped with a little cilantro and tortilla chips. Thank you for this recipe!

I was going to submit this same recipe-- in my house, it's known simply as "hot soup". I made one change- instead of black beans I use one can of cream of mushroom soup. I also add in a lot of red and black pepper, jalapeno seasoning, and sometimes mushrooms. You can also substitute chicken rice soup for the broth and rice. This is a very versatile recipe-- enjoy!
