Comments:
I dislike canned beans, so I use about a cup each of black beans and pinto beans - then cook them in boiling water for about 20 minutes. Then, drain and replenish the water. Then, I add all the other ingredients. I have been known to leave out the chiles and the Ranch packet when I don't have it on hand. I play around with it, and I'm sure that causes it not to be a 2 point soup any more! This thickens as it cooks, so if you cook it longer, it's more of a Taco Chili, but it's very tasty.
