  1. Very good and easy to make. I did change it up a bit because of what I had on hand. I used precooked chicken and 1/2 cup of frozen cut onions. I didn't cook them in oil. I just added them to the pan. I used 32 ounces of chicken broth and an 11 ounce can of corn (I'm not a fan of frozen veggies). I also only had green pepper so I used a cup of that. Everything esle I followed. This had just the perfect amount of heat for me. I am a whimp when it comes to spicy but this was just right. I did top our servings with mexican blend cheese. Very good and even better when it sat and the flavors melded.
     
  2. This was great, definitely quick and easy to prepare as others have mentioned. I made my own picante sauce to use. The soup was really nice - warm and filling, with a wonderful flavor. Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. Excellent soup - made for a wonderful supper soup. Made as posted with great results. Served with crusty rolls. Have added this to my soup collection. I love 'Southwestern' soups! Thank you for sharing.
     
  4. DH said "two thumbs up, five stars & five yee-haas" :lol:. This was magnificent & so easy to make. I followed the recipe with a couple of changes - no cumin in the cupboard, so added a healthy dose of Mexican Chili Powder, used a jar of medium chunky salsa instead of picante sauce & added a little dried cilantro instead of fresh. We both loved this recipe & it will be a regular, easy meal for us. Thanks Scarlett for sharing this keeper.
     
  5. Delicious! We really loved this quick and easy corn chowder. Next time, I think that I might use only half of the amount of cumin called for in the recipe. I'm a huge lover of cumin and thought it was fine, but others in my family thought it was a little too overpowering. This chowder would also be great topped with crushed tortilla chips. Thank you for sharing this wonderul recipe. *Made for PAC Spring '08*

I joined Recipezaar to learn new recipes that are home cooked. I grew up having ready-meals like Encor and Stouffers and needed recipes that don't simply require opening a box and plopping in the oven! I enjoy cooking when I have the time to try new dishes. I make every recipe as written if I'm reviewing it to give a true review. If I make alterations that aren't in the directions, I don't feel it's a true reflection of the recipe; it's another recipe to me. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b367/chefpaulag/final-1.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/captain.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/329769/ninja%20bmp.jpg" width=75%> (Zaar World Tour 4) <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg"> <a href="http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/?action=view&current=cunningcrocodiles.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y254/Missymop/cunningcrocodiles.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c105/jewelies/DSC_0020.jpg"> (Australia/New Zealand Swap #15)
