I normally don't review recipes. I felt like I had to review this Steak Fajita Soup recipe. Simply put, the flavors in this soup are incredible. My tweaks to the original recipe were minimal. I used one red pepper, one yellow pepper and one green pepper instead of three red peppers. My other variance was 4 cups of beef stock instead of mushroom broth. This makes a large batch of soup which is a good thing. My wife and I are really looking forward to having leftovers for two or three more meals. This is a great soup. Thank you for sharing the recipe.

I had leftover grilled flat iron steak, so I used this recipe as a base for my soup. Here's what I did. My meat was already cooked, so I browned the pepper (I used Green & red) & onion. I added the garlic (used granuales) I then added the tomatoes, chili powder, & cumin. I left out the fajita seasoning because my meat was already grilled with a smokey grill spice. I added beef broth and I used a frozen corn & black bean fiesta mix. I left out the pintos, spinach, and jalapenos. Everyone loved it.

I made the recipe with the amounts and ingredients as posted. I only changed the prep method. I browned the beef, onion and garlic until done. Then I added all the other ingredients and put it in my 12 quart Nesco (I doubled the batch) and let it cook for 4 hours. The double batch made at least 10 quarts of soup. It was SOOOOOO GOOD. I will definately make this one again. Thank you for sharing your recipe. I also submitted 2 photo's.
