Very thick and filling soup. I added around 3-4 cups of diced chicken and an extra 20 ounces of chicken broth. This makes a very large batch of soup, so invite the neighbors! Made for Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup (July '10-Jan '11)

This is delicious! I made it as is, except for a little cumin, which is just personal preferance. Great flavors, easy ingredients, and crock-pot-able! lol Great job B-B-Q Man!

This was awesome, and super easy to make! I halved the recipe, added about 1 1/2 small can of chicken broth, used the full package of taco seasoning and added Cayenne pepper to taste. I cooked it all day in the crock pot. I then served it with shredded Mexican cheese and crispy tortilla strips on top. It was a hit! This is better than any soup you can purchase in the store. I will be making it over and over, thats for sure.

5 stars for a tasty and easy to prepare dish. I made mine on the stove top, omitted the corn and halved the recipe. Smelled wonderful while cooking and since I cubed and cooked the chicken first it only took about 30 - 45 minutes of simmering. Thanks B-B-Q Man, good job!
