I have a question. How can I make this if I don't own a Slow Cooker? Can it just be made in a regular pot on low heat?
This was a very tasty and quick soup recipe. Mixed it up and threw it in the slow cooker. Will add some meat next time to vary it up and make some homemade bread to eat with it.
This was soo good, can't wait to make it again! May even have my husband make it for one of the Friday night dinners at the lodge! The only thing I'll do next time is omit the can of stewed tomatoes. I also added a T. of sugar, to cut down the heat a little.
Delicious and filling! I used 2 Tbls. of chili powder; I thought it was perfect. I did omit the green onions. I served with tortilla chips and avocado slices . Yummy!
We loved this soup. Did not drain and rinse the black beans, used 2T chili powder. We wanted to eat it as leftovers today, but there wasn't enough left to feed the 3 of us, so added 1 can of cannellini beans and 1 can of hominy to stretch it. Can't wait to eat it. The next time we make it, will probably reduce chili powder to 1 1/2T. So, so good.
I'll be making this soup often, it's that good. I had to sub one can of fire roasted tomatoes and pinto beans because that's what I had on hand. Still delicious.
I've made this so many times I know it by heart! It's my go-to when I'm craving tex-mex flavors, and a cup is only 2 smartpoints on Weight Watchers 2016 program. Love it!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS!! I make this a lot. It is tasty, easy to make, and extremely healthy soup to eat. I recommend this to everyone who likes the ingredients in it.
I have made this soup many times; family and neighbors love it. I omit the stewed tomatoes and use less chili powder. Very quick and easy.
Easy, and warms you up on a cold day.
