    This was very easy to make, but I tweaked it a bit. I eliminated the jalapeno and added some cooked carrot shreds (they come pre-shredded for topping salads, etc.). It was very good. A healthy and filling comfort food on a cold New England night. - 2/9/09

    This sounds very good, but what is the serving size?There aren't too many SparkRecipe's that include the serving size. Why? How is anyone watching their weight is suppose to add the calories to their daily allotment? - 2/1/09

    Super easy and super yummy. Great cold weather comfort food. Will be making this again and again. - 2/23/09

    I made this by just dumping everything in a crock pot in the morning (I threw in a can of tomatoes, drained, too), and I had a great one dish meal waiting when I got home. - 2/10/09

    I added some canellini beans and used soy milk. Delicious. Half with chicken - half veggie.... - 2/5/09

    I love this - I make a large batch & keep containers in the freezer to take for lunch. I use corn we froze from the garden & that seems to make it better forme. - 2/1/09

    I took the advice of the poster who sauteed the chicken with the onions and celery. Great dish! My other half loved it!! - 8/15/08

    I made this last night. It was very good! I also add in potatoes which made it heartier. I left out the celery and used skim milk. - 8/10/08

    My husband liked a lot, and I thought was pretty good too. However, my toddlers wouldn't touch it - even though I substituted red bell pepper for the jalepeno for them. (Which also made it prettier - ha ha!) - 3/8/09

  • GRANDBIRDIE
    I didn't even put in the jalepeno peppers and it was way too spicey for me. I will try it again with less red pepper and some black pepper instead. - 2/10/09
  • RETIREDONE1
    Excellent. We both loved it and will make it again. I didn't make any changes and it is delicious! - 2/3/09

    Yummy, was very tasty and good kick (added extra jalapena - love extra spicy) - 2/2/09
  • MISSMADAME
    This was quick and delicious. I will definitely make this recipe again. I used olive oil instead of butter and frozen low fat creamed corn rather than canned. Next time I may also try nonfat milk. - 2/2/09
  • DILBERTA
    Very good I will make this one again. I made it on a rainy afternoon and it was a great lunch. I made a couple of substitutions. I used 1 1/2 T light butter, 5.8 oz chicken and 1/16 t salt. For me this made 7 cups of soup. - 2/2/09

  • JENSTASIO
