Really good and a total hit with my husband who usually turns up his nose at soup. I did brown the meat before sauteeing the onions and garlic and I used one can of Rotel with Habaneros as well as a can of Hunt diced tomatoes with jalapenos (we like it spicy at our house) and because of that, left out the hot sauce. Wonderful recipe and will certainly make it again.<\/p>","CommentId":9,"DateRated":"02\/26\/2015 18:17","GUID":"5ca8c78b067c463c88a6d62c5ce6ea18","MemberId":7375196,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"Thumper1984","SubmittedDate":"02\/26\/2015 18:17"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":10,"DateRated":"02\/17\/2013 15:42","GUID":"915f10829c1743548fb58afd4158ca52","MemberId":3660852,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"rickstep","SubmittedDate":"02\/17\/2013 15:42"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":11,"DateRated":"10\/22\/2012 17:54","GUID":"6f9a3631a1244221b821cec502556e4e","MemberId":3894539,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"sandiedler","SubmittedDate":"10\/22\/2012 17:54"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":12,"DateRated":"02\/06\/2008 17:11","GUID":"5c3dec993b1e435b80635012a0bd4b74","MemberId":1823542,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"klong","SubmittedDate":"02\/06\/2008 17:11"},{"Comment":"
