Very quick and easy soup to make but the corn didnt seem to blend well with the other ingredients for us. I used a package of precooked petite diced ham and 2 cups of additional chicken broth instead of the water. We dont care for black beans so I used navy beans and did omit the tabasco sauce. I think this could be a versatile soup recipe and will have richer flavors after being refrigerated overnight.
