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, Menomonie, Wisconsin

For a meat-free soup, this was really filling. It was also very good. It was a nice change of pace from fish during Lent.

Crumble in some tortilla chips like crackers to make it more "taco-like".
This is a delicious soup recipe. I used fire-roasted tomatoes for some extra flavor. Since I forgot to buy picante sauce I used salsa instead.

Wonderful quick soup. Normally I shy away from quick soups and go for crock-pot recipes instead but I'm glad it gave it a shot. I cooked the green peppers along with the onions & garlic. I also added the whole jar of picante sauce (2 cups) and increased the broth by 1/4 cup. Next time I may add an extra 1/2 cup of pasta. Can't wait to eat the leftovers tomorrow.

This was dinner today...Great soup. The only sub I made was to use pinto beans as I didn't have the black beans....Will make again.

This was really good and so easy and quick to make! I added a little extra pasta, broth and seasonings to stretch it a little bit. Also used a little salsa that needed to be used up, along with the picante sauce. Overall, a delicious soup that I will definitely make again!

I used medium Pace picante sauce and Rotel hot tomtoes and green chilis. I also added burger. This was a really tasty soup that is really quick to make. This will be on the menu rotation. YUM!

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!
