Taco Twist Soup
Spiral pasta adds a fun twist to this dish. I lightened up this soup recipe by substituting black beans for ground beef, and by topping it off with reduced-fat sour cream and cheese. —Colleen Zertler, Menomonie, Wisconsin

Wow! This recipe has an AMAZING flavor. I added a little extra pasta and couldn't get over how filling this soup was. I definitely will make it again!
A family favorite. Usually I add some ground beef if I have some and my homemade salsa.
This was great! I didn't have green pepper so added a can of mushrooms--still was wonderful.
What a FANTASTIC soup! So much flavor! I changed a few things but am sure it would be fabulous as is. Used two cans of beans; one black and one tri - bean blend (pinto, black and red) used large onion and one whole large green pepper. Also added a half cup more pasta to the soup. It was better than chili and great for a meatless meal. SO filling!
Yummy
Made this last night and my husband & I both really enjoyed it! Of course he would *really* enjoy it with some beef in it, but said it was great as-is! It's a keeper.
This is a family favorite. My daughters love tacos, but my one daughter thinks she wants to be a vegetarian so she loved that this was with black beans. I serve it with toritlla chips and canned tropical tropical fruit on the side.
Parfait pour les lundis sans viandes. Excellent!
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".
