Lovely veggie soup! I enjoyed the chili powder and cumin very much. The beans added a nice meatiness and the corn added the crunch that I love! Lots of flavors and textures to keep this soup interesting. The only change I made was to add one diced potato. It was looking lonely and was begging to be put into the pot! Thanks, I really enjoyed this recipe!

Made this last night and added 1can black beans, un-pureed, and added 4oz bowtie pasta and 8oz of sliced mushrooms---it was yummy and very satisfying on a cold November evening, not to mention QUICK!!! Will definitely be making again, could add rice next time too! Anyway, doctor it up how you like, the basic recipe is great!
