HEALTHY & EASY, Yes Please! I am rating this recipe according to the variation that I made. As others suggested, I added jalapeno's and chili powder. Also, I added a few things that I had around: 1 bay leaf, a pinch of cumin, a pinch of salt, onion powder, chili flakes, and a dash of parm. cheese. As other's suggested, I cut the meatballs up a bit. I didn't cook it in the crock pot b/c of lack of time. It was delicious on the stove top. After cooking, I added sour cream and corn chips. I believe that next time I will add some orzo (cooking it separately and adding it in near the end of the cooking time). Thank you for such a versatile recipe!

Great simple soup! Used almost twice the amount of salsa for a more robust texture. I made this on the stove top and we actually had the first two bowls as soon as everything had heated up (we were hungry...) - very good! The rest of the soup is still simmering away and I can't wait to have another taste! Thanks for posting!

You just can't get any easier than this. In order to help make up for the Dec excess of goodies I used veggie "meatless" balls and the soup was scrumptious. I just went by the recipe and it came out mildly spicy and steamy. So good on a very cold January night.

I used Chicken Broth, 'Trader Joes Salsa Especial' and added my own spices; Cilantro, Parsley, Chili Powder, Chili Flakes, couple squares of Dark Chocolate and a Mushroom/Seaweed Paste that I usually use in Ramen. The house smelled amazing as the slow cooker did its thing for 4 hours. This recipe is easy to 'make your own' with whatever is in your kitchen. Topper; I crumbled some Queso Fresco, broke some Blue Corn Chips and cubed some Avocado. Delicioso!

Great! I made my own turkey meatballs and used chicken broth, as well as adding a can of black beans.
