Delicious! I started to make this last night for today and realised I didn't have corn. So I finished cooking it leaving out the corn, lime, fresh coriander and garnishes. Today while I was in town I purchased corn, added it to the soup tonight and then finished the recipe as written. The flavours are delicious and it was so easy to make. Thank you Cat Berner
