Made this last night and my husband and 19 yr. old brother LOVED it! I couldn't find chipotle peppers or adobo sauce in my grocery store so instead I added a little extra ground pepper and a few shakes of hot sauce I had on hand, and it turned out just delicious. Highly recommended!

LOVE this! didn't make many adjustments - used one can of tomatoes w/jalapenos and a little less adobo. Great Flavor. Definitely keeping the recipe! Good with rice too.

Oh my gosh!!! So YUM-O!! I made half the recipe. I used 1 can of Costco chicken, and 1 can of sweet corn. When it was done, I put grated sharp cheddar cheese, sour cream. avocado, and Sante Fe Style Tortilla Strips on it. WOW - delish!! I will definitely make this again!! Thanks!!

I thought this soup was very flavorful and I loved the fresh cilantro in it. I did think it was a little too spicy before serving and added some sugar to counter it, but the sour cream helped cool down the spiciness.

Delicious! Quite easy to prepare. I added a cup more of the corn, and two cups more of the broth (large family). I'm not much of a chipotle fan, but with the extra ingredients the flavor was great. I did reduce the amount of cumin---just personal preference. I made this soup tonight, and the family loved it. I used rotisserie chicken from the market and this really added to the richness. This is a "keeper" recipe! Thanks!

I really liked the soup and loved the flavors! It was fast and easy to make . I added more chipotle and used parsley instead of cilantro. Will make again! :)

Once you get past the "spicy" of the chipotle and adobo, this does not have much flavor. I did think the taste was better the next day than the day I made it.

We loved it! Added double the chipotle peppers cause I'm bad at following recipes, but with a little extra sour cream it was the perfect blend of smokey heat and cool. For anyone that loves heat I'd recommend it. Perfect on a cold winter night.

I made this soup for a lunch group that I am a member of and everyone loved it! They all asked for the recipe. My teenage boys loved it also. I did make a few changes. I doubled the chicken broth and added another cup of cubed chicken breast. (it was still VERY thick). It is rather spicy, but not to much. Will be making this again.
