WONDERFUL!! My hubby even liked it!! Used frozen mexi corn and creamed corn. Added with broth, milk and potatoes so corns could melt and cook. Subbed rotel for the salsa and doubled the Velveeta. Also added 1-2 lbs. shredded chicken. YUMMY!! Would be GREAT with crawfish (or crayfish if you're not from the South)!! Thanks DJM!!!

What a wonderful soup! It's easy, inexpensive, and delicious. It also makes a HUGE amount, and as a result, I have several individual servings in my freezer that will make wonderful lunches. The only change I made was to leave out the black beans, only because I'm not fond of them. I used a Pace's medium heat salsa along with the Mexican Velveeta, giving me the perfect amount of heat. Thanks for a recipe that will be made several times this winter.
