This fast and simple dish from Darlene Brenden in Salem, Oregon combines the ease of soup with the heartiness of chili. It’s a perfect filler-upper on nippy afternoons and a great last-minute lunch. If you like it spicier, use medium or hot green chilis instead of mild.

Delicious! Had all the ingredients on hand - went together quick! I too added about a tsp. of Cumin. This one is a keeper!

Made this a couple of days ago. Delicious, easy and comforting. I added 1 tbsp of taco seasoning, and made my own tortilla strips. Using a pizza cutter, cut the corn tortillas in half, cut in skinny strips. Place on a cookie sheet, drizzle with a little oil, sprinkle with a little kosher salt and bake at 350* until golden and crispy, stirring a couple of times during baking. The soup was so fast to put together that it left me with time to do a little something extra. Even so, I had dinner on the table in 30 minutes. Thanks for a great and easy recipe.

This is another favorite. I used Rotel and a large can of green chilies but regular beans as that's all I had on hand. It was delicious and a bit spicy, so it was perfect for my taste.

One of my family's all-time favorites. I love that nearly everything comes out of a can, so it comes together very quickly. (I do try to buy the low sodium stuff though--all those canned goods would add up.) Excellent!

I was surprised by how much I liked this recipe. It was so nice to have everything already in my pantry. I didn't use spicy refried beans, just plain, but I did need to add some flavor in so I used cumin and chili powder. I think a little jalapeno would be great or use spicy salsa for a bit more flavor. I also added a second can of black beans, one just didn't seem like enough. It's a great starter recipe--be creative!

I substituted rotell tomatoes for stewed tomatoes.......that made it too spicy so will make again as the recipe calls for.

This is about as easy as it gets! I did not have stewed tomatoes so used a can of regular diced instead and it was just fine. Even my 3 year old thought it was yummy!
