This was excellent soup. Thought you might like to know I made this as the soup du jour in the restaurant today to rave reviews. I made a couple of minor changes: fresh jalapenos instead of pickled, blackening seasoning on the chicken and I also cut up a couple of corn tortillas and added them. Very Good. I will definitely make again.

This was the BEST soup I've ever made! It was so hearty and delicious. It was loved by all who ate it. I added some cilantro at the end, which really added a lot of flavor. RUN out and buy the ingredients for this one! Also you MUST make the "crunchy strips" to go with it. Those will be a common thing around my house now, even if Im not making this soup. Yet I don't see how I'll have one and not want the other!

This soup is spicy and delicious! I didn't change anything except to add two cans of diced tomatoes (I just like lots of them!) instead of one. For the seasoning salt I used Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning - yum - this kicked up the heat a bit - perfect! My only complaint is that the recipe didn't make enough - will probably double next time. And I haven't tried it with the "Crunchy Strips" yet - I will really be hooked on it then!! Thanks, CV7!!

What a great recipe! I've had black bean soup in restaurants and loved it, so when I saw this recipe I had to try it. It's even better! I used Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning and I topped each bowl with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and a couple of jalapenos. Delicious, especially on a cold winter day.

This soup is absolutely delicious, the flavors blend very well together. Being on the south beach diet this has been my favorite recipe so far the only things I did differently we're to add one can of northern beans as I only had one can of black, and omitted the cinnamon and used chili powder instead. DELICIOUS!!!

Easy to make and fast. I used cajun flavored seasoning salt and it gave the chicken a little bite but still not too spicy.

I made just as the recipe directed, with a couple of minor changes. I used all red bell pepper and for the onion used a combination of yellow and red. I also used canned greened chilis instead of jalopenos and I added a little chili powder. This was delicious!! There are so many possibilities with this recipe. I may try some canned corn, cumin and dried cilantro next time, but the recipe was worthy of five stars without any of these changes in my opinion. Can't wait to make again!

This is wonderful, I did take the suggestion of omiting the cinnamon, I added celery and a can a green chilis instead of jalapenos and used 2 cans diced tomatoes and 2 cans black beans rinsed and replaced the liquid with chicken broth. This was awesome. Thank you!!! also I threw this in the crockpot to cook on low for 6 hours.. delish..

I LOVE this soup! I used shreded chicken the last couple times I've made it and it made all the difference. Also used fresh limes instead of lemon juice. and red, yellow, orange peppers. Cinnamon is a must.
