This was Good - with a capital G! I used ground turkey, 1 can regular diced tomatoes and 1 can Rotel, and 1 can of red kidney beans plus 1 can of black beans. Other than that, I followed the recipe as written. We like it hot, so after tasting mid-way through, I added more cayenne. The perfect comfort soup for those cold winter days.
