Very yummy indeed!, I pureed a small portion of the soup and then added it back to the pot, I also added about a tbsp of hot sauce.

I loved this recipe...I did substitute a can of corn with green & red peppers (Libby's I think) for the frozen corn. Very easy to make and my family and friends thought it turned out delicious.
