"This was very good and it was ready in no time. It was especially nice to be able make dinner without having to go to the grocery store first. I used creamed corn and petite-diced tomatoes (what I had on hand) and added a diced potato. I added a pinch of sugar, some chili powder and ground black pepper, too, to kick up the flavor because I didn't have salsa flavored tomatoes. Definitely a keeper (and I think I will stick with the creamed corn - it worked really well). Thanks! (I originally gave it 4 stars, but had it again the next day and it was even better, so it's been bumped up!)"

"This was a great soup to have on this cold day. It's so easy and fast to prepare. I didn't have any salsa flavored tomatoes so I added a can of plain ones and a couple of tablespoons of prepared Sofrito. At the end, I added a can of cooked chicken to the soup to make it a little heartier for dinner. Thank you for this recipe! I will definitely be making this again!"
