Absolutely wonderful flavor and texture! It's healthy and satisfying. I made this exactly as written and wouldn't change a thing. I love how refried beans not only add flavor, but act to thicken the soup. An added bonus is that this soup is very quick and easy.... and inexpensive. Thanx for sharing! -
Great recipe and it has a reasonable number of ingredients (which I appreciate a lot). I only use half of the tomatoes when I make it. Despite the re-fried beans, I also I puree about a third of the soup and add it back so the soup is even thicker. Ingredient wise, you don't need to change anything but the recipe lends itself to experimenting with your favorite ingredients. -
Definitely fast and easy but a tad too acid for my stomach. Perhaps a little sugar would take the bite out. -
It tasted much better than I thought it would. I also added some sour cream and cheese. I'll definatly finish up this batch...not quite sure if I'll make it again.

I have always loved to cook. This got me into trouble with my wieght, because I loved to eat what I cooked. I am now a weight watcher, I have to lighten most recipes. My favorite cookbooks are Taste of Home & Taste of Home Light. MY pet peeve is boxed dinners. I do love simple and quick though.
I have 3 grown sons, one is in last semester of college, one is married and a new baby is on the way, so I will be grandma in January.
My daughter-in-law hates to cook, they order prepared food off the internet, that makes me crazy. ha.
I love animals, but right now only have one dog. A bloodhound. She is so loveable, I would recommend this breed to anyone as long as you have patience, but they are one of the most loving breeds out there.My married son has 3 lab. retrievers,a baby will be easy after those 3 monsters, as I lovingly called them when they were pups. My oldest son has a Rottwieller. I have had 3 Rotts, they have all pasted, buy they are a really great breed. They are so smart and loveable, I guess that's why people who chose to make them bad, can do so, all they want to do is please their owners.
My real passion is shoes, shoes, shoes. I also love jewelry, but shoes, shoes, shoes,!!!!!
Update I am finally grandma to the prettiest baby girl ever. She was born on Jan. 15, her name is Mariah. She is perfect!
