This soup is excellent and great for a "crowd"! In all fairness, this recipe is published in "Food for Thought", by The Junior League of Birmingham Alabama, which has a copyright of 1995.

I make a similar recipe and it's awesome! Serve with cilantro and sour cream, mmmmmm, delicious!

Very easy to make. I leave out the Rotel tomatoes and the black beans and use kidney beans in their place, which adds color too. As white onions can worsen arthritis, I only use yellow onions; the stronger the onion the sweeter it is after cooking. I serve this with a heaping spoonful of sour cream, a generous sprinkle of grated aged cheddar and a big fist full of Fritos on top. The longer you keep this, the more robust the flavor becomes. (Save up to a week). It freezes VERY WELL. It truly is a crowd pleaser and kids love it. One of the best all around fall and winter recipes I have in my recipe box.

awesome flavors all melded together. shoepeg corn works nicely and by varying the beans, you can alter the flavor a bit too. Sometimes adding pinto beans w/ jalapenos is a nice touch or kidney beans. So easy and gets better the longer it sits. Great cold weather treat!

I made a half recipe of this. I added a can of chicken broth to make it more "soup-like". This is a very flavorful soup, and is quick and easy to make. Leftovers are very good also.
