I love it too! There are some differences so if you want to try another variety, here's what i do... 1 can each black and kidney beans, drained & rinsed 1 can diced tomatoes 1 can tomato sauce 1 cup water 1 green bell pepper, chopped sometimes I even add 1 cup brown rice to thicken it up a bit everything else is the same except for no olives (but that sounds good) I usually double it up and freeze half for another day... love those freezer meals when I don't feel like cooking! I also love to slice avacado and throw it in right at the the last minute to heat up with the soup. Love to eat it with sour cream, cheese and tortilla chips!

Sometimes I'll double or even triple the amount, and it makes a TON for freezer meals. I'll often make this for new mommies as a meal to take them, because it's so easy. Two weeks ago I tripled the batch, and it fed FIVE families with 1-2 kids! Thanks for the reminder – you’re right, this does freeze well.

It's nice to have it frozen in servings sizes when you want to toss one in a lunch bag or have a healthier snack at home. This freezes well, too.
