When I serve this soup at parties, everyone asks for the recipe. It makes a lot, so if I'm not feeding a crowd, I freeze the leftovers. —Jennifer Villarreal, Texas City, Texas

I did make some modifications, so I cannot give it 5 stars. I only used 1 can of corn (drained) and tomatoes, I used 2 packets of taco seasoning (1 spicey and 1 low sodium). I did not use the flour tortillas; I felt the tortilla chips were enough. With those changes it made a good, quick weeknight meal.

Very tasty. Just note, if you follow the directions exactly this comes out more like a stew but if you bring the pot to a boil before simmering you will end up with more liquid which will make it more soup-y.

Tried this recipe last night for dinner and it was delicious. I added about 1/2 tsp cumin, and 1/2 of a fairly large jalepeno pepper to spice it up some, as my taco seasoning was low salt which made it taste a little flat. I definitely will make this again, so fast and easy. Thanks!

My whole family and our friends enjoyed this satisfying meal! I doubled it and froze half for later.

We don't generally go for anything with pinto beans in it, but this was a hit! We usually cannot find the Ranch style beans here in the East, so I substituted plain pinto beans and added some tomato sauce.

Just made this tonight and was so good! (a little more soupy than what it shows = perfect!)

One addition we made was to top with sour cream and Mexican cheddar pepper jack cheese...we also used corn chips instead of tortilla

This was so easy to prepare and absolutely delicious! We topped ours with shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream. We'll make this again and again!!!
