I used just one can of pinto beans and added 1/2 package of taco seasoning.
Denise Ford
Love this stuff. We left out the onion and 2x cans ranch beans and added pintos & black beans this last time, and that was pretty good too.

In Texas we serve this over Fritos similar to a Frito pie. It’s incredible.

My step mom used to make this when I was little and I’ve been craving it for years. I tweak it a little bit. I season chicken like tacos and shred it instead of ground beef, I season rice with lime and cilantro instead of beans and add olives just for fun. Delicious and exactly what I remembered, but better.

This has been a staple in our home for the past 7 years. It is so easy to make and very yummy! You can put it over sweet potatoes or corn bread and eat it with tortilla chips. There are definitely lots of fun ways to mix it up and use it for multiple meals throughout the week. It’s also a recipe that is highly requested at our tailgates every football season.

Really good, my husband thought it may really amp up the flavor with a can of rotel and honestly I thought it could use more meat, maybe double. Good, easy recipe, lots of leftovers. I will let you know how freezing does to it later.
Michael Rangel
Yummy!! Easy to make and delicious!

We did not care for this version of Santa Fe Soup. As it tasted more like a dip than a soup. Maybe if cheese was on the side as the processed cheese was overwhelming to my family. I added some extra browned ground beef to the leftovers and took to work with a bag of Tortilla and put out for my coworkers per family suggestion. As a dip it went over great!!!

My son asks for this 4-5. Times a month…yummy

Does anyone know what a serving size is? It says 1/8 of a recipe, but I’d like to know in ounces what that is. I give this a 5 Star when made w adding 2T of taco seasoning. And I don’t use an onion in the recipe. Been eating it his way for 20 yrs. My sister gave me this recipe Year’s ago and that’s how mine is different from this one. I love it.

This is my fave soup recipe! I cannot afford to make it often. I doubled the recipe and placed in the crock-pot for a “pot blessed” dinner at work and it cost me $20 for the ingredients I needed. Not going to waste money like that often but it was a really good recipe and I will make again someday. P.S. I did not drain the liquid off the cans they blended nicely with the Velveeta to make a good soup.
Anthony Clark
I made this soup but added a packet of hidden valley ranch feisty ranch.. It was awesome!!
Amanda Walker
Very good cold weather soup. Spice it up too your liking. Fire roasted diced tomatoes & fire roasted green chili add a great touch! Used 1/2 velvet a and 1/2 cheddar! Will make again??
Kathy Miller
I didn’t make any changes at all and this was SO good. All time favorite soup recipe. Plus, my 2 year old loved it also.
Diana Carlson
This is a hearty, tasty soup. Perfect for cold weather. I was able to freeze it beautifully for another time.
Steven Trevino
This is a fantastic Mexican / taco soup. I couldn’t find ranch-style beans so I used chili beans and used all the other ingredients plus added 2 jalapeño peppers and a dash of chili powder and cumin. Will definitely make again!
Vicki Morris
Love this recipe! It’s a hearty soup that’s not to spicy for my kids. I’ve made it as is before and it’s great, but I prefer real american cheese over the Velveeta.
Christopher Sparks
This was an okay recipe, not outstanding or worth repeating.
Amanda Lewis
Very easy to make and my husband loved it. I recommend not leaving the soup on warm on the eye because it burned the rest of the batch. That was my fault. Will make again.
George Lee
Very easy and tasty. Mu husband made it and it was really good. He said it was very simple to make – just cook the beef and then throw it all in the pot to simmer. We had it with salad to make give us some nice crunchy green stuff along with the chunk, creamy soup.
Edward Mcbride
Excellent recipe! I used only 2/3 of the cheese due to other reviews that said it was more like a dip than a soup and cooked the onions with my hamburger and added some garlic with the meet as well. Didn’t have ranch beans so I added a can of black eyed peas and they soaked up the flavors wonderfully. Rave reviews by EVERYONE!!!! Thanks for the recipe.
