I really liked this recipe, as did the other people I had to dinner. We put corn tortilla strips on top, and a sprinkle of chedder cheese for flavor. It was really good! I also added chili powder, cumin, and a sprinkle or two of salt - but I used homemade salt free broth. It was fine as it was, but we wanted a little more flavor - thus the extra seasoning.
Wonderful and delicious.
This soup didn't sound very good from the recipe, but it was! We were pleasantly surprised!
Wow! What a quick and super yummy recipe! Everyone loved it! Did add cumin and hot sauce.
Adding to this....my kiddos love to have this as a "dip" for the Food Hero potato nachos!
I made this recipe to sample for a food pantry night and everyone who tried it said they liked it! I added spicy refried beans and that really added a nice kick to it. I also added some cumin and black pepper and it was very tasty! Definitely would make this again.
Super easy and really satisfying! We like to add a can of mild green chilis to the soup then top it with chopped cabbage. Cheese quesadillas are so good for dipping in the soup too!!!
Super yummy and easy! I used chicken bouillon and had to sub the crushed tomato for diced. Delicious, but probably not as thick. I added double the amount of garlic and a few dashes of chili powder for extra flavor 😊
