Wow! Was i surprised! This was very very good! Easy to make as well. The only major change I made was accidental. I realized after I had opened my corn that it was cream corn not whole kernel. I decided that since the recipe said to not drain the liquid from the corn anyway to just use the cream corn instead. (I have a very tiny fridge and didn't have room to store it anyway and didn't want to throw it away.)....At first before simmering I didn't think I was going to like the salsa being in it. But I was wrong. The flavored blended beautifully and was incredible. My DH really enjoyed it as well. Made for PAC Fall 2011.

Since I always have 2-cup portions of shredded chicken breast frozen, this recipe was a snap to make, & we really liked the use of refried beans in it! Very, very satisfying! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this fall's round of Pick A Chef]

Great soup - and so quick and easy to prepare! I shredded the chicken before adding and garnished with sour cream and some shredded cheese. Yum! Thanks for sharing. PAC Fall '11
