"I used a can of green chilies instead of fresh jalapenos. Eliminated the sour cream and cheese. The family loved it."
"I have been making this recipe for many years. I mash 1 can of beans with some broth and add 2 additional cans drained beans to the soup. It seems to give it the right consistency for a chili. I add chopped canned jalapeno depending on who I am serving (kids- no jalapeno). I put out bowls of toppings for each person to select their own such as crushed baked tortilla chips, chopped avocado, chopped tomato, cheddar cheese, and sour cream. This is the most delicious soup and my family requests it even in the summer!!"
"Love this recipe!!! It is more of a soup than chili but who cares...it is delicious! My hubby loves this (even the leftovers). You have to try it!"
"I did not add as much broth added some white wine for extra flavor and a can of crushed tomatoes to give it that chili flavor. It was great."
"Need to leave the jalapeno out when the kids are here. Otherwise it was great!"
