This was way better than I expected to be honest, I added beans and left over rice and cooked it in the croc pot for 4 hours on high. Topped with cheese and crushed corn chips. Thanks for posting!

We really enjoyed this soup although my husband did think I should just have made chili. I am a soup lover and I am the cook!! I did use double the ground beef as that is what I had on hand. I didn't measure the cheese (regular) but I think it would have been a couple of tblsp. per bowl. I will be making this again. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

This was good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I didn't add the parsley as I am not a fan. Good chili recipe.

This was great... I love soup, my husband likes stews. There was plenty of liquid for me... I got most of it, my husband liked it too. We both liked the unusual twist on an old standard. It was easy. I took the rest to quilting bee the next day to share... they thought it was terrific. Made for the Spring 2008 PAC.
