Comments

  1. This soup has a WONDERFUL flavor. I didn’t include the tortellini when cooking the soup because I planned on freezing some. The first time we ate it I cooked the tortellini separately and added it into the soup before serving. I found that the flavor in the cheese in the tortellini clashed a bit with the Mexican flavors. I saw a magazine as that had Goldfish Crackers in tomato soup. The next day I heated up some of the soup and had some cheddar Goldfish on hand and tried it. It was perfect! It gave it a little cheesy taste and some crunch – like oyster crackers. Also, the soup froze well. Thanks for the recipe! I will definitely make it again!

  2. Hands down the best soup I’ve ever made and eaten! It’s so filling and has a little spicy kick to it. Can’t wait to make it again. FANTASTIC recipe!(:

  3. Made this last night using mild Rotel tomatoes for my five year old. Definitely could have used the regular for the spice / flavor. I’d double the black beans next time and possibly add onion. Excellent recipe, and beyond easy to make.

    1. I would suggest freezing it without the pasta. The pasta will absorb the liquid in the soup. If you do freeze it with the pasta, just add more liquid to the soup when reheating.

      1. Great easy recipe! Made it twice, once with ground beef, once with ground turkey. Both delicious. Wouldn’t change anything. Thanks!
