I doubled the recipe and made a couple small changes. I used 1lb ground turkey instead of bacon, and 1/4 cup hot taco sauce instead of Tabasco. I also used half fat free beans and half regular. The soup was thick and almost chili-like, and I served it will shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream on top. It was delicious!!! My soup-hating brother in law actually liked it, and my fiance said it tasted to good to be healthy. ;) Thanks for a fabulous recipe!
