“Honestly, I’m not sure what the negative reviews are about. This soup was delicious. I will say I accidentally confused the recipe with another and chopped up some sweet potatoes.. when I noticed it didn’t call for them, I added them with the beans anyways! Th” — a cook, 5★
“My family LOVES this recipe. We've made it with and without chicken. The cilantro and some lime juice put it over the top delicious! I usually use 4 cans beans, one mashed, 4 cups broth and 2 cans of chiles without the chicken.” — a cook, 5★
