I've been making this for years and it's a family favorite. Quick to come together and full of flavor. Serve it with some jalapeno or broccoli cornbread! It's a keeper!

I really like this, my family says it's alright. I top it with sour cream so it isn't too spicy for the kids.

I made this years ago, it's super easy (always a winner in my book) and I'm still making it, tastes great and people are always really surprised by the fact it starts with boxed potatoes. Great quick soup! Loaf of Italian bread and salad and you are good to go.

This is an easy and quick soup that I will definitely make again. I used a can of diced tomatoes and a can of diced green chiles because that is what I had on hand. Also added a little cumin and chili powder for extra flavor. Thank you, Sherry, for the great recipe!

This has been a family favorite since it was first published over a decade ago. I always have the ingredients on hand and it goes from kettle to table in under 30 minutes. I'd give it ten stars if I could!

I've made this recipe since it first came out in the magazine and it has become a family favorite. My daughter even asks for it for her birthday dinner. So good and so easy!

We love this soup and it is easy to make. We usually add ham or sausage. This is excellent in a slow cooker.
