Awesome dish! I added a little bit of fajita seasoning to add a little extra flavor but overall, very easy and very good! -
We love this recipe! It is a regular item on our menu. We skip the salt and only use no salt added beans and corn. Even then, it is plenty salty. -
Excellent recipe. Simple to make, the family loved it! Perfect balance of spice and very flavorful. -
My family of 5 adults practically inhaled this wonderful soup. Definitely a keeper! We like medium to hot mexican food. The people that liked hot added some hot sauce at the table. It was easy and fun to make it as well, an added plus.

If we only rated on ease of preparation, this would get a five, but there seemed to be something missing flavor wise for my family. It seemed very bland, even with the pepper flakes and cumin.
