It is a great starting point as many have said. I too, added, switched etc on your base and I now feel I have a 5 star recipe.

this was not what i expected at all. it is just a vegetable soup, no fiesta about it. it needs maybe taco seasoning or something.

Simple to put together. Following reviews from others I substituted a can of diced tomatoes with green chilies and used chili beans and corn in place of peas and carrots. Sensational!

Super quick and easy to make! I used canned corn and added a little more chili powder and cumin. Would be great with beans or salsa too. A versatile recipe!

I'm not a cook, so I wanted a super simple quick filling soup and this fit the bill. I read the reviews and saw how people changed the recipe a little, so I added corn & a 1/2 tsp of red pepper and it was very tasty. I will definitely be making this soup again!

Very tasty! I used diced tomatoes with green chiles to add a little spice. Also, I substituted corn and rice for the carrots and peas. Will definitely be making this again!

The only thing I changed was that I added a package of crushed up chicken flavored ramen noodles. It was wonderful!

I also made a few changes -- no water, 1 can of chili beans, 1 can of southwestern corn, 1 can of diced tomatoes, 1 can of chicken broth, 1 can of cooked chicken. I didn't broil but let the heat of the soup melt the cheese. I had invited a friend over and she also LOVED it! I will be making this for the next pot luck.
