My dh and I just polished off 2 bowls each of this delicious soup! This is the best bean soup I have ever had. I love the addition of the ground beef in this recipe. It really gives this soup some substance. We like ours really spicy too so what I did was to include a 10 ounce can of Rotel tomatoes with green chilis in my total 28 ounces of tomatoes. That really added some heat to it. I also added an extra teaspoon of chili powder when I adjusted the seasonings. We chose not to puree the soup and really enjoyed the chunky texture better. We had a sprinkling of monterrey jack cheese on top along with a dollop of sour cream and tortilla chips on the side. This hearty, delicious soup is Tex-Mex heaven in a bowl! Thanks Tugar for sharing this recipe.

This soup is not lacking flavor....that's for sure!!!! Instead of a 28 oz can of tomatoes, I used two 14.5 oz cans of tomatoes with zesty jalapeno's which added alot of heat to the soup.I think I went alittle overboard because instead of a green pepper, I used a jalapeno. It was really HOT, but oh...so good!! I didn't puree it, as we liked the consistency a bit chunky. I topped the soup with some sharp cheddar and sour cream. Great recipe..thanks for sharing.

All I can say is, WOW! This was so wonderful. The only change I made was that I didn't put the soup in the blender or food processor. I just broke it up with a mixer. I wanted it a little chunky. I made my own tortilla chips with corn tortillas; I added some cheese to the top of it and some green onions sliced. We really enjoyed this and will make it again!!

I am making this for the second time tonight because it is that GOOD! I didn't puree it and used 1 can of diced tomatoes with jalapenos and omitted the cayenne. The spice level was perfect for the BF but a little spicy for me though served over corn bread it was AWESOME!! Thanks for posting!

This soup totally rocks! I did add a can of black beans on top of everything else...it was wonderful. I am not crazy about blending my hamburger, so I may blend it before adding the beef next time. This soup went fast!

Wow, had to have a whole mug full of this soup. I made this as part of my weekly Sunday cooking session. Delicious! I also left everything unblended. It is delicious and filling. I also added a small can of minced black olives for extra flavor. I am glad my curiosity found this recipe.

MMMMM...This was good. My DH was very scared by the name but he really enjoyed it. I didn't puree. I also added 1C uncooked rice, can of black bean rinced, about 1C of frozen corn and 2 small cans of green chilies. I also used heaping teaspoons of the spices for more flavor. I will make this again and again. Thanks!

Dont let the name fool ya! Quick, easy, filling, most kids will love it! Hardy enough for winter, light enough for the rest of the seasons! Added a can of black beans! S-L-U-R-P!
