I made this as written but it needed some work after a taste test. I used grilled chicken, Mexican oregano, added in hatch green chile flakes, Cholula hot sauce and some grilled corn. It was thick so I added Half and Half Lots of salt and pepper. I made it ahead and when I reheated it was much better. I made the bread bowls by King Arthur posted here and it really hit the spot on a cold snowy April night in Colorado. I’ll make again with my changes. Thanks!

This was very good. I did not use the chicken broth and used plain tomatoes. For the vegs I used a can of peas and carrots and a can of fiesta corn. I did not drain the tomatoes and corn did drain the peas that was enough liquid without the broth.

Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup. Pretty good soup and also very easy. We enjoyed the unique combination of flavors. My favorite part of eating the soup was the slight sweet taste you got when biting into a piece of corn. A nice contrast to the spicy tomatoes. Due to allergies that I have, cream soups are out so I used recipe #54128 in place of the cream of chicken soup. Thanks for posting this Sara!
