Every time we have a church fellowship supper, people ask me to bring this soup. I don't mind making it over and over-it's so easy to prepare! I also like serving this spicy Southwest soup when Northern friends visit-and fixing it for my husband and our two children all the year through.

I don't know what went wrong with this recipe...I completely followed the directions and was left with a giant bowl of flavorless queso! A horrible waste of ingredients and time. My husband is on his way to get a pizza! :(

This is a great favorite in my family. I have added broccoli and that always goes over well, too.
