This is not very good....too much ground beef....seasoning not good...so many better tasting soups out there with little expense to them...This is from a long time soup maker and partaker.....

This is great!!! I made it according to the recipe, but ommitted the peppers since I'm not a fan. We all loved it and even my 19 month old had two bowls, veggies and all. YAY!!! This is a keeper and will become a regular in our house. Thanks so much!!

This was too easy to be so delicious. I made it exactly as written on Sunday and ate it for lunch all week. The smell of it cooking and then being reheated in the microwave at work drove my co-workers crazy. Had to give everyone the recipe 'cause I wasn't sharing. LOL! Deserves more than 5 stars for taste and ease of preparation.
