I doubled everything except the spices because I also used 2 bags of frozen southwest veggies that had corn beans and spices in it also.

Great! Used reduced sodium chicken stock and did not add salt.

This is an excellent soup. I did have to make some changes but none really altering. I did not have any broth so make some with bullion cubes. I already hade some left-over corn and used that; I used pinto beans instead of black as I do not care for black beans taste. I will make this again as it was quick and so delicious.

excellent soup but I too reduced the sodium. Homemade chicken broth and low sodium canned ingredients, great results

Sodium too high! Modify by excluding salt, and using low-sodium broth, then your winner, which is quick and easy to prepare, is ready to serve w/o reservation! ENJOY!
