I lightened up this soup recipe by substituting black beans for the ground beef originally called for...and by topping off bowlfuls with reduced-fat sour cream and cheese. Spiral pasta adds a fun twist. —Colleen Zertler of Menomonie, Wisconsin

Oh, wow! I almost didn't make this because I thought my 9 year old might not like the seasonings but I put it together, added some ground beef and a can of corn. This soup was SO good! And my daughter RAVED!
