When out-of-state friends dropped by, I invited them to stay for dinner, knowing that I could put together this mild, chili-flavored soup in a jiffy. I served it with cornmeal muffins and a crisp salad for a filling meal everyone loved. My guests even asked for the recipe before leaving! -Priscilla Gilbert, Indian Harbour Beach, Florida

This soup is even better the next day! I like to make a big batch on the weekend and then have it for lunch or dinner throughout the week.

I made this soup gluten-free by using gluten-free tortillas. It turned out great! The tortillas held up well in the soup and didn't get soggy.

This soup is very budget-friendly, especially if you use store-brand ingredients. I was able to make a large pot of soup for less than $10.

I love spicy food, so I added a few extra jalapeƱos to this soup. It was the perfect amount of heat for me. I also added a dollop of sour cream to cool it down a bit.

I made this soup vegetarian by using crumbled tofu instead of ground beef. It turned out great! The tofu absorbed all the delicious flavors of the soup and it was a hearty and satisfying meal.

This soup is packed with flavor! I love the combination of spices and the creamy texture from the avocado. I will definitely be making this again and again.

I love that this soup is relatively healthy, especially if you use lean ground beef and lots of veggies. I also like to add a dollop of Greek yogurt or avocado for some extra creaminess.

I've been making this soup for years and it never disappoints. I like to use a combination of ground beef and ground turkey to make it a little healthier. I also add a can of diced green chiles for some extra spice.

This soup is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. It's so easy to make and always a hit with my family. I like to add some extra veggies, like corn and black beans, to make it even more hearty.
