This is delicious soup and is cheap on the calories. Perfect for dieting without giving up taste.

This is great, easy to make soup! Don't forget to serve with sour cream to cut the spice...I liked it okay, but our company thought it a bit hot!

My Husband says this is the Soups of Soups! I used a large jar of corn salsa but same results! Shared it with my best friend from Church...She says it beats (top Lable brand) soup! Your recipe is total happiness!

This is wonderful. I used canned cream style corn instead so I omitted the water. Used homemade salsa and was wonderful. Definately a keeper.

We made this in our 6th grade Home and Career Skills class and we really liked it. To quote Brian "it's like a liquified burrito without the shell".

This was very good! I used the roasted chicken plus some dried onions and some garlic. It was great!!

So good, so easy! To speed it up even more- use pre-cooked chicken fajita strips!

Yummy! I substituted ground turkey for the chicken, and added onion, garlic and cilantro. Excellent!
