Santa Fe Soup Reviews
This soup is great Easy to make too. I used 1/4 of a large brick of cheddar instead of the velveeta. Awesome
Tastes great and easy to make Because I dont like raw onions I sauted the onions with the meat and added a little garlic and other spices. Should not have added salt though, as the other ingredients already contained enough salt.
Very easy-great for a weeknight dinner.
This is a 5-star recipe if you add a packet of enchilada sauce mix or taco seasoning. Next time Ill chop the tomatoes so theyre similar in size to the beans and corn. Delicious
Excellent soup, easy to follow recipe. I gave four stars because I had to double the Velveeta to get the texture I wanted, but I think that is a personal taste thing. I love the whole kernel corn, it adds texture, and a little sweetness. I am vegetarian, so used reconstituted Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) 2 cups dry for the ground beef. Otherwise I followed the recipe to a T. Yummy stuff
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. Didnt 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.
So good
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.
This soup was excellent I ahd this recipe a long time ago but I had lost it, I am so happy I found it on here We put sour cream and tortilla chips on top for a garnish.
This is my familys favorite soup recipe. My kids say "All right" when they know I am fixing Santa Fe Soup. My husband brought some men from work home for lunch to eat this soup and it was a total "thumbs up" meal. It is so easy to fix. I keep all the ingredients on hand and we even eat it during the summer. It also makes a great dip with some white corn tortilla chips. Thanks
This was an okay recipe, not outstanding or worth repeating.
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.
Yummy I sauteed the onion with garlic cause we like garlic. Added some southwestern spice, a little crushed red pepper and we were ready to go. For serving, I sprinkled with some chopped cilantro, a dollop of sour cream and sprinkled with some taco chips. I would call this more of a "chowder" than a soup, but delicious just the same. For those reviewers concerned about type of bean...add the kind you like i.e. kidney, black or pinto. And, if you like a less thick consistency, do what another reviewer suggested.....add some broth. Thumbs up for this cool weather soup here in the midwest.
Made this receipe exactly as written and it had a very bland flavor. Added a few spices and still didnt make flavorful.
Wonderful A favorite around the house. I use 2 cans Rotel tomatoes and add some chili powder.
What a great tasting recipe. Not hot enough for me though, so I added 2 Tbls. each of Garlic Powder, Cayenne & Chili Powder...yum, yum... just right Good job This is a keeper
This will be great on a cold, winter day. A little heavy with the cheesy taste, but makes an excellent dip with taco shells. My daughter-in-law went back for seconds...well,knock me over with a leaf I think Ill reserve all the liquids and add them as needed to make a dip, but needs a little more liquid to be a "real" soup. But this is a keeper.
I also do as S. Orlando does with this and use it as a dip. Ive been making it for years, only adding in taco seasoningfor added flavor boost. Whenever I make it, I always make copies of the recipe on 3x5 cards for the guests. Everyone always wants the recipe.
Simple, cheap, and yummy I used only 1 can of beans since Im nursing and I used some taco seasoning in the meat and omitted the onions. Also, I used Mexican style corn as others have used. We had it as a soup for dinner with crushed up blue corn tortilla chips and sour cream on top. For lunch the next day (this recipe makes a lot) we had it as a dip. Also, I made it for my sister as a freezer meal and used a heavy duty zip-loc and it froze beautifully and she said it tasted great
This is excellent though I dont know if I would classify it as a soup; more like a hearty dip or as my husband calls it, a cheesy stew :) I used ground turkey (we dont eat red meat) and it worked out fine. Didnt have any canned tomatoes with green chiles handy, and so instead, I used 1 cup of medium salsa (Big Lots has a southwestern salsa with black beans and corn). Delicious I also added about 1/2 packet of taco seasoning, as suggested by other reviewers, and also omitted salt. This was a great meal, served with heated crispy taco shells and a salad.
This was sooooo easy and very delicious. My husband, two teenagers, my 6 yr. old and myself all loved it. I couldnt find ranch-style beans so I also used black beans. This one is definitely a keeper Thanks Sammye
This is sooooo good Great for a winter night. I made it with 1 can black beans and one can ranch style beans. I didnt feel like chopping up the onion so I just used onion powder and a dusting of season salt while the meat was browning. After I dumped all the cans in, I didnt think it looked like enough liquid before I added all that cheese, so I added about a cup or so of chicken broth, till the consitency looked right to me. Then I added the cheese and let it heat up and melt. I used mild rotel, so i also put a little crushed red pepper in for more spicyness. Im going to get a bowl now, with a warm flour torilla AND chips.
This recipe is AWESOME I used the Ranch Style beans with Jals and it was fabulous MEN at my office asked for the recipe Super easy Very filling and just plain GOOD
This recipe is excellent. My husband loves it
I cooked the onions with the ground beef, as reviewed. I used some leftover canned tomatoes and salsa that I probably wouldnt have used otherwise, in place of the tomatoes listed. Great to eat with chips and very filling
I used Ro-Tel which made it somewhat spicy (too spicy for my 10-yr old). My 13-yr old and husband loved it, though I also added some taco seasoning and sprinkled tortilla chips as a garnish. Afraid to think how fattening it is
We thought this was great...a new twist to chili I didnt change a thing and it the leftovers were even better when the flavors really melded together Thanks sammye Ill be making this easy soup again
This was so simple to make but tasted wonderful - I have passed this along to my sister-in-law with one rule - she cant tell my brother how many cans she opened. This is prefect to make when you have been at work all day and just dont feel like cooking a big meal - (everyone will think that you did).
Outstanding Can I give 10 stars??? This was the best meal Ive had in weeks. Fantastic I seasoned the ground beef with taco seasoning, used only one can of beans, and a small can of corn. I also used about 3/4 a pound of Velveeta. I served this in big bowels with crushed tortilla chips on the bottom. We dipped warm flour tortillas in the soup. I topped mine with Seasoned Salt, and hubby topped his with extra raw onion. YUMMY Thanks for sharing, this is defientaly a keeper
Pretty good for cool fall evenings.
This recipes was not worth eating again. If you want to make something similar to this take out the onion and tomatoes and corn and beans. Add one can of rotel tomatoes any type that you like. It makes a great dip, that is why i was excited to try this recipe. Disappointment. But i did try it first with out the straight recipe, didnt like it. Then i tried adding taco seasoning, still no. Lastly i added more tomatoes which helped a tiny bit but just not worth serving. Im glad this suits someones taste buds other than my own.
We thought this was pretty good, but had too many tomatoes for us. I will try this again with 1 can of Rotel, extra green chili peppers; add some garlic powder, and some Fiesta Fajita seasoning, 1 can or ranch-style beans and 1 can of black beans.
Easy and tasty recipe, especially for novice cooks.
I thought this tasted great but had a poor visual appearance. I left out the corn and used black beans instead of ranch.
This soup is wonderful. I made it for a mexican food themed Christmas party and it was a hit Next time I will add some taco seasoning to it and that will make it even more delicious
I have made this many times but I dont consider it soup. Its great to put in a crock pot and serve as a dip.
This is one of my families favorites. We all love it. This soup is so hardy that we use tortilla chips instead of a spoon to eat it.
Very good soup. used 2% velveeta and it worked great
Super easy and quick. I really liked it, but my husband wasnt wild about it. I think I will try it with real cheddar next time and some taco seasoning too.
Yummy and very, very easy I used venison instead of beef (seasoned w/ taco seasoning), and kidney beans instead of ranch-style beans. This is a good, quick meal.
This was just okay. Served with tortilla chips. Prefer slow cooker chicken tortilla soup recipe to this.
This was easy to make and had a good flavor. I might try using shredded cheddar cheese next time because I feel Velveeta can often be salty. I also sauteed the onion first. Overall nice recipe.
This is very fast & easy to make. Be warned, it is rich I added another can of diced tomatoes to cut it. It really needed the fajita seasoning that I added (2T about) - we topped with fresh cilanto too. I sub. hominy for the corn too.
Awesome recipe Made it when family came over and everyone liked it.
This recipe is very easy to make, but it had mixed reviews at my house. My brothers thought there were too many tomatoes. I thought it was a little runny (but I did use light processed cheese). The overall taste was fine though.
We thought this was great...a new twist to chili I didnt change a thing and it the leftovers were even better when the flavors really melded together Thanks sammye Ill be making this easy soup again
I use kidney beans with this. Also we eat it with tortilla chips instead of crackers Even our two toddlers eat it
This was really tasty I dont know if I would call it a soup... more like a cheesy chili. Anyway, its good This would be a great soup for football Sundays; it is very rich and filling. I halved the recipe, omitted the onions, added a clove of garlic that I sauteed with the meat. I added a generous shake of taco seasoning and used a can of Mexicorn instead of regular corn. Served with homemade tortillas for dipping. Very good, thank you :)
A tasty & easy to make soup. The only thing I did different was to use jalapeno processed cheese instead of jalapeno diced tomatoes.
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.
I made this soup but added a packet of hidden valley ranch feisty ranch.. It was awesome
This was just the basic recipe I needed to use up a couple of things in the fridge. I made a creamy potato soup a couple of nights before and had some leftover. I made a half recipe of Sammyes soup and added a cup of the potato soup. I also only had a little bit of processed cheese so I sprinkled grated cheddar on each bowl of soup. Seasoned with 1 1/2 teaspoon of taco seasoning. I used one can of Rotel and some vegetable juice. Frozen corn. I used a can of ranch-style beans plus a can of red beans. I drained the red beans. Made a great soup. Ill never have the exact ingredients again, but this soup is a wonderfully versatile idea. Ill be using this recipe again.
This is a hearty, tasty soup. Perfect for cold weather. I was able to freeze it beautifully for another time.
Excellent I didnt change a thing and it turned out great. Plus, it was super easy. I will definitely make again.
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??
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 Id like to know in ounces what that is. I give this a 5 Star when made w adding 2T of taco seasoning. And I dont use an onion in the recipe. Been eating it his way for 20 yrs. My sister gave me this recipe Years ago and thats how mine is different from this one. I love it.
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
Love this recipe Its a hearty soup thats not to spicy for my kids. Ive made it as is before and its great, but I prefer real american cheese over the Velveeta.
This is a fantastic Mexican / taco soup. I couldnt find ranch-style beans so I used chili beans and used all the other ingredients plus added 2 jalapeo peppers and a dash of chili powder and cumin. Will definitely make again
I didnt make any changes at all and this was SO good. All time favorite soup recipe. Plus, my 2 year old loved it also.
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 USD20 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.
I made this for my husbands pot luck at work. I did not want to send it after I tasted it. It was delish. Before he came home I had an email from his coworker begging for the recipe I am making this again tonight for dinner...cant wait.
In Texas we serve this over Fritos similar to a Frito pie. Its incredible.
