  1. Surprisingly delicious for basically just opening 6 cans & heating it up!! We prefer it without the chicken. I've also made it with homemade chicken broth (3c.) & frozen corn (2c.). I don't drain the tomatoes. I season it with ancho chili powder, garlic powder, & cumin, to taste. We like it served with crumbled tortilla chips & shredded cheddar cheese as a garnish. This would be a great throw-together soup for drop-in guests.
     
  2. Good, but seems like it is missing something. Maybe if it simmers longer the flavor will blend better. I had to add about a tablespoon of sour cream to my soup for it to taste good. Next time I think I will use one can of cream of chicken soup in place of one of the cans of broth.
     
  3. I used Kathy's Whole Chicken Crock Pot <a href="/33671">Whole Chicken Crock Pot Recipe</a> instead of the canned chicken, but everything else was canned. I also used low sodium broth, and diced tomatoes. This is so EASY and YUMMY! I garnished it with cheddar cheese and scallions. Delish!
