I just made this and I really like it. The wife and kids thought it was a little spicy. I think that was due to the diced tomatoes I used, having onions in them (the ready for chili kind)and some chili spices in it. It makes a nice thick hearty soup. Don't even realize there is no meat in it. Good recipe!
