This recipe originally came courtesy of my sister-in-law, who is from Mexico. But since she prefers her foods much spicier that we do, I've cut back on the "heat" by reducing the amount of hot pepper sauce.— Audrey Wall, Industry, Pennsylvania

An extreemly easy recipe. I enjoyed the soup. Instead of putting the spicy stuff in there, I put in a chili seasoning packet. It was excellent!!

I have made this soup for my family for years. I got it out of the 94 Taste of Home Magazine. I was very upset when it was left out of the Taste of Home Cookbook that was made for that year. Lucky I kept that magazine. My family loves this soup and I have passed it on to many others. It is great if you like spicy but don't want beans. A great substitute for chili we think. I usually double it as it is even better warmed up.

This is a great fall recipe. It tastes alot like chili with potatoes in it and could easily be jazzed up or creamed down. Great soup that my family will see on the table again.

My friend and I have been making this soup ever since it was first published in Taste of Home. The ingredients are usually on hand, and it is an excellent gift to take to a friend. Always welcomed, but include the recipe for them.

This was scrumptious on it's own, but my family likes things REALLY spicy. I added beef broth in place of the water, a can of tomato soup and 2 packs of taco seasoning plus a pinch of ground cayenne. Yum! Sooo good!

My picky daughter loved this. add corn and maybe more meat. I also used stock instead of water.

We LOVE this recipe and it comes out of the cabinet every winter. I have the Taste of Home magazine from when this came out more than a couple of years ago. Am making it for the concession stand at the regional wrestling tournament. I'll follow the recipe for that venue, but for home, I use at least 2 tsp of the hot sauce. When we're counting points/calories, we've used non-meat crmble instead of the hamburger and it's still a great meal.

This is a great recipe! I used chicken broth instead of water and will try adding additional veggies next time. Great to freeze and reheat later! :)

This is one of my "go to" cold weather soups and since we don't get very many cold days here in Texas that's saying something. I've made this for several years with a few changes--I use 6 cups of potaoes (I scrub them well and don't bother to peel them), 2 onions, a large (29oz) can of tomato sauce, 2 tsp of hot pepper sauce and I throw in 2 bay leaves if I have them--everything else stays the same. So good and easy!

My family loves this soup. It is so cheap and easy to put together. I have been making it for a few years. I double the recipe for our family of 8.

Theeeee best!! I've been making this one for over 10 years now. I've added my own touch to it. I use 2 cups of cubed potatoes, 4 cans of tomato sauce, about 6 cups of water, everything else but no hot sauce and at the end of the hour of simmering... I add a pound of cooked orzo. Makes for a nice hearty meal! Nice loaf of Italian bread and your good to go! yum..yum..yum!

I actually got this recipe many years ago from my Taste of Home magazine subscription. I have been making it ever since and have substituted part of the tomato sauce and hot pepper sauce with picante salsa and was still very good. Very good and satisfying recipe. I've made it numerous times over the years.
