This is a FANTABULOUS recipe!!! I am NOT a fan of beans at all, unless they are green beans HaHa but I loved this soup!! My Fiancee' Sam loved it even more than I did. He topped it with a little cheddar cheese and some sour cream, but since I am watching what I eat for bikini season here soon... I didn't and it was still great !! The only thing I did different was opted the green pepper for 1/2 red 1/2 yellow and 1 whole orange pepper because I hate cooked green peppers but I also added some crushed red pepper flakes to add spice to balance off the sweet taste of the extra peppers. Extra cumin, like a tsp, cause Sam and I love cumin (and it's good for your digestive system) and some more corn. I ended up having to add more beef broth to the left over soup, which was even better because it was fresher with new broth heated thru rather than left over broth that's been sitten there a day. Don't simmer it, but rather heat it up quickly as the broth gathers the flavors of the soup BUT that the veggies don't get all mooshy.I even got to share this with my soon to be in laws, who are SUPER PICKY about everything they eat... and they loved this too!! A+++ Thanks for sharing! =)

Everyone loved this soup we made and decided to drizzle corn chips on top, maybe not so healthy at this point ... But sooo good..

This was delicious! I did make my own broth using Tones paste. I didn't have the cilantro either, and I did add a little ground round. My husband and daughter and I really liked this soup! It was hearty, had a great flavor and it is a keeper for sure!

I agree this is a great recipe since I've been using it for about 10 years in my Tea Room. I've changed it a little over the years & included the changed version in my Tea Room cookbook I published last year.I now use Fat free, low sodium chicken broth, dried minced garlic works when fresh is not available, green onions sliced thin, saving some for the garnish . I serve it with Light or fat-free sour cream, low fat shredded cheese, & baked tortilla chips on the side for garnish. If there is any leftovers I cook it longer until thick & use it for a dip....great! I also belonged to weight watchers back then too.

This soup is wonderful and we could not stop eating it!! We are not green pepper fans so we added a can of navy beans. Great soup!

I made this yesterday. I don't ever have canned beans so I cooked some dried black beans. It's really good and refreshingly light for a bean soup. Great for warmer weather.
