Tex-Mex Minestrone

We really enjoyed this soup! I kept adding water to it as it cooked, as there didn't seem to ever be enough. Thought it had just enough spice to it.

This was really good. I made this for my mom and me as a late dinner on a chilly night. I also used the Rotel spicy diced tomatoes(I think I only used the mild)as people said in the reviews and it gave it a bit of a kick and a lot of flavor. Will definitely make it again. Super easy and delicious!

I have made this a couple of times now and it has been a huge hit with my family. My children had a couple of friends over the first time I made it and no one could stop eating it. I doubled the recipe and the entire pot was eaten!

I noticed an error in my previous review, so I thought I'd re-write the review. This soup is very bland, and for those who like rather "bland" soups, then this soup is for you! I happened to of made 2 versions of this soup (Kraft's mild version , and a soup that was a bit hot'n spicy, (which my husband and I much prefered). Instead of adding a tomato, I added 1-(10 oz.) can of Rotel Original Diced Tomatoes & Green Chilies (which gives this soup some heat. Instead of using a small shelled pasta, I added 1/3 cup of Barilla Ditalini. I also used a home-made Italian Dressing, (which I made from a packet I had purchased from Aldi's) instead of using a bottled dressing. I did not use the shredded cheese that was recommended. Instead, I used Kraft's Grated Parmesan Cheese. As for the amount of servings, I found this made 3 to possibly 4 servings, instead of just 2-(2 cup servings ea.).

I doubled the recipe because I had 1 lb. of meat, and I wish I had added more liquid. By the time it finished cooking, it was more of a casserole than a soup. I will increase either the beef broth or the water next time. It did lack a little flavor, but it was still very tasty, especially with the cheese on top.

I found this soup to be boring. I kept re-checking the recipe to make sure I didn't leave a critical ingredient. It lacked flavor. Maybe adding canned, stewed tomatoes (mexican style)and chopped might have helped, but not sure.

Great taste and very easy to make.

Easy and very good!!!

i used a can of rotel in place of the tomatoes. added a nice kick!

This was very good, and very filling. I used Boca Burger Crumbles instead of ground beef.
