    Excellent recipe, but not thick enough...so I pureed ~2 of the 4 cans of beans with some of the broth to get some needed thickness. I substituted jalapenoes for green chilies (all that had) and doubled the cumin, cayenne, and chili powder. I omitted the cloves. Yummy! - 1/3/10

    Amazing! I added bell pepper with the onions and doubled the spices (except the salt). I followed the suggestion to puree 1/4 of it to get a thicker consistency. It made a huge amount - great for leftovers and it freezes well. I served it with pita chips the first night and cornbread after that. - 10/16/09

    I made this in my crockpot minus the corn. Went a little heavier on the chilis and added corriander and cillantro from the garden. It's a new family favorite, sooooooo yummy. - 10/14/09
