I add a can of rinsed & drained white beans for added protein and fiber. Yum! - 2/4/12

Awesome! I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken and used vegetable broth, but the soup was still SO GOOD! :) - 2/10/10

Wonderful soup. I used jalapenos instead of the chilis. Added a little more zing. I also used cilantro instead of the oregano. Didn't use as much corn as in the recipe - wish I would have. But very good anyway. Smoked chicken added even a little more enjoyable flavor. I'll definitely make this again - 2/18/10

This was very delicious. I should have added a bit more chiles to give it a little more punch as it was a little on the sweeter side when I followed the directions above and I like this kind of soup with a kick. It was really good though. My husband and I both loved it. - 2/9/10

Delicious, and easy to make! I'm not a huge fan of cooking but I found this recipe really easy to make and has simple ingredients, which I love! I used a fresh chopped jalepeno pepper and it definitely added a zip to the soup! Will definitely make again. - 7/12/11

This was pretty good. I love the idea that it is corn that is the main thickener! I only had 2% milk, so i used that and low fat cheese. It is a filling soup which I also like. It did lack a bit of flavor though, so I may add an onion and more spices next time, but I will probably make it again. - 5/16/11

Loved this recipe, used the entire can of green chilies and substituted skim milk. May sub cilantro for the oregano next time as I see another user did. Easy, inexpensive, and oh so delicious!!! - 1/21/11
