If you want to tame down this soup some you could only add 1 can of the Rotel along with a can of regular diced tomatoes. Adjust seasonings to taste.
Enjoy! Debbie

Super! Thanks Debbie.
I might swap out the spaghetti for small cheese ravioli, because I always liked that soup of yours with ravioli in it. That looks so good though I might not change a thing!

Good idea using the raviloi. I forgot about that soup. It would work great. Thanks!

Do you have a Dollar Store by you? That's where I get mine and surprise it's only $1.00. It's my go-to store.

Do you have a Walmart? I get the store brand for around a dollar there. I hear also in some areas that Costco sells them pretty cheap. I know in our area Costco doesn't carry them, wish thy did.

I got two cans of Rotel at Publix today, $0.99 per can - Plus a $1.00 off store coupon when you buy two cans. The coupons will be available until Feb. 6th, if I remember right.

LOL...That is why a long time ago I started taking pictures of the finished product. I think a picture says more than a recipe title.

I am a lot more apt to try a new recipe if it looks like something I would like.
And when I'm looking for one of Debbie's recipes that I've printed and "filed", I shuffle through the papers looking for the picture (lol)

:agree: Debbie, that goes for me too! That is one reason why I decided to make this soup. Visually not only does the soup look good, but it sure tastes good. Debbie, I made this soup for yesterdays dinner, and boy was it ever good, but I did make a few minor changes when making the soup.

First I should let you know... that I had used 85% lean ground beef, and I cooked that and the veggies in 1-1/2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. I did not drian off the excess grease, as there wasn't much to drain off. Also, I added a medium onion, rather than a small one, 3 large cloves of garlic, I added 1 teaspoon of salt, instead of just a 1/2 teasp., plus I added 1-(10-oz.) can of Ro-Tel Tomatoes, and had to add 1-(14.5 oz.) can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, as that's what I had on hand, so when it came to adding the water, I only added 2-1/2 cups. Both cans of tomatoes w/the green chilies made for a 'hot' and 'spicy' soup, which my hubby and I both enjoyed. I also couldn't believe my hubby also added some Tabasco to the soup. Next time tho, I'm going to just add the 2-(10-oz.) cans of Ro-Tel, to tame down the soup. I decided if my hubby's going to add Tabasco to the soup, I figured I'd just cut back on the heat just a bit. One other thing I did different... I had to use a jar of Traditional-Style Spaghetti Sauce, (Ragu's of course) as that's what I had in my pantry, and when it came to simmering the soup, I covered the pot, and simmered it exactly for 22 minutes, to cook the spaghetti all the way thru. Debbie, I found this soup made a few more servings...for us, about 7-8. Debbie, thank you for posting this recipe. Hubby and I loved it!!
