This is a terrific recipe! Only changes I made were to use 15 oz. of corn, substituted cumin for chili powder and used 1 cup pasta shells. It was a great hit at the office.

Good soup. I thought it was missing something though. If I had to make it over again, I would probably add either more tomatoes, or I would substitute V8/tomato juice for the water. It was still good enough to get a 3-star rating from me!
