Crowd pleaser every time I make it....I add black beans, also. I make a double batch and freeze in individual portions for quick lunches.

I made this soup tonight for dinner and it was delicious. I did add a 1/2 c. of black beans to it. But even before that it was yummy. My husband loved it. I guess it will go in the rotation.
