"This is just about the easiest soup that you can make and it has that southwestern flavor that my family loves. Just serve it with a salad and bread of choice and you have a warm meal on a cool night."

I did this recipe on the stove as I don't have a crockpot. I also sliced and browned the chicken breasts. I cooked it for about 20mins. I enjoyed the recipe but I think I would cut back a bit on the corn next time I do it.

Thank you for a great recipe,I used 1 can creamed corn instead of just a can of corn. I also used a ham steak instead of chicken.and at the end I added cumin. I served it with brown rice . Next time I will use chicken. It's a great go to recipe fast and easy. Julie

This was SSSOOOOO good! Because I was pressed for time, I bought a pre-cooked chicken at the grocery store. I literally threw all the ingredients into a pot and used Chi Chi's medium salsa and 2 bags of frozen corn. I picked the white meat off the chicken and put that in. I stirred it altogether and cooked it for about an hour on medium to medium low heat. My husband could not stop raving about it. This will become a staple in our household this winter.

On this cold winter night this was TERRIFIC! By using the crock pot and very few ingredients, such a simple way to have something new and different. Hubby likes more substantial soups so I added some cooked penne pasta at the end. Deborah, Wake Forest, NC

Very good and couldn't be easier! All you do is open cans - this is also one of the few chicken crockpot meals that I throughly enjoyed. We used 'hot" salsa and I think the taste depends on the salsa used. Thanks for sharing!
