Very DELICIOUS and easy too. Did throw In (4)$ .69 tacos from the Dollar menu @ Del Taco.

Delicious! Just cooked this and enjoyed the soup's wonderful flavors. I used a can of chili beans instead of the black beans. I cooked this about 30 min. as the rice was still crunchy after 15. I topped each bowl with crunched tortilla chips and chopped cilantro in addition to the cheese.

Easy and very good, who could ask for more. I used ground turkey and 1 14.5 oz can diced cut tomatoes combined with a can of Rotel as suggested by Tinkerbell. After getting into the recipe I discovered that I did not have black beans and substituted a can of chili beans in sauce. The Rotel and chili beans kicked the soup up a couple of notches. I would make this again. Made for *PAC Spring 2009*

Very good soup. I did change it up a bit because of what I had on hand. I used a 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes instead of diced. I drained the beans and corn (personal preference). I didn't add the tomato sauce and added 2 cups of water. This also reheated really well. It was quick and easy to make and it's made with ingredients I normally have on hand. Will be making again.

Fantastic! My family just loved this soup. Great flavor, just enough seasoning that none was added at the table. Not too spicy for anyone, but for a little added kick use a can of Rotel tomatoes with green chilies in place of the regular diced tomatoes. This recipe is so quick & especially easy making use of pantry staple items. This is the most flavorful ground beef based soup we've had in years. Thanks for sharing, Amy!
