This is a very good basic recipe and it makes a ton. I added 4 cloves of minced garlic as opposed to garlic powderand 2 tsp. ground cumin. After it simmers (the longer the better) serve with chopped cilantro and sour cream. It freezes exceptionally well. - 12 Mar 2007 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
As a vegetarian, I'm always looking for a recipe that I can modify. This is a great soup for that purpose. I changed the hamburger for crumbles and went by the recipe on everything else. Very tasty and filling. - 15 Nov 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
