This soup was excellent! I didn't think the chipotle pepper was too hot....it just gave the soup a nice smokey heat.

This is one of the best soups i have ever eaten. Loved it!!! I made it for a group of my coworkers and the next day at work they asked where the leftovers were they wanted more.

This soup was a big hit with us and our friends. I left a few seeds in as well as adding 1 tsp more Chipotle sauce. Definite keeper.

What a great soup! Full of flavor, easy to make, a little hot, a little cool and so yummy. This is a keeper in my house! I've sent some to family members & they loved it too!

This was very good! I didn't put in the peppers or the adobo sauce, as we don't like things very spicy, and this soup was still very tasty!

Excellent recipe! One we will be making on a regular basis from now on! We added a little fresh lime juice just before serving and it really added a wonderful flavor! The fresh cilantro and sour cream is a must!

SOUP-ERB!!!! This is easy/tasty/quick to make etc. etc. It also lends itself very well to substitutions of all kinds - I didn't have the V8 juice so used pasta sauce with some water, also subsituted pinto beans for black. Was REALLY excellent. Served with Healthy Flax-Seed Tortilla Chips.

Absolutely delicious!! Easy recipe to prepare...spicy "hot", however, the garnish of sour cream will cool for the ones who prefer milder favors.

This soup is fantastic. My family is picky and everyone loved it. The next time I make it I will use half pinto beans and half black beans.

A flavorful, hearty soup! I will admit to making one change, though, as I'm not much of a chipotle fan: I used about a tablespoon of chopped, canned chipotle peppers, and then used chopped green chiles for the remainder of the portion. I'm heavy-handed with the cilantro, as that is a family favorite. Thanks for sharing, Sonali!
