Delicious!! We really loved this yummy soup. It goes together quickly and easily and is full of flavor. I made this as written, except that I used cooked, diced boneless chicken breast instead of the ground meat. I added it to the pan (with a small amt. of oil) while sauteing the onion and garlic. Also, I didn't drain either the Mexicorn or green chiles, I used cilantro instead of parsley, and added only 1/8 tsp. cayenne powder. Everyone in my family gave this soup 2-thumbs up as they gobbled it up and were asking for more. This doesn't make a large batch, so next time, I will definitely double the ingredient amounts. Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe...it is definitely a keeper!! *Made for Fall 2009 My 3 Chefs*
