I thought the soup sounded delicious, but decided to add a few things I thought would make it more tasty and a bit thicker.

I replaced one cup of the milk with a can of lite coconut milk.

I sauteed a cut up chicken breast in the olive oil until it was no longer pink.

Then I added the onion, bell pepper, and zucchini, AND added 3 peeled and chopped small red potatoes cut up with the vegies.

I added the following spices to the mix: 1 tsp thyme, 1 tablespoon cilantro, 1 tablespoon parsley, 1 tsp red pepper flakes. I also added more salt and pepper, as we like things a bit more spicy in my house.

I served it with a loaf of heated crusty french bread.
This turned out fabulous- great for a cold night!

I don't think the people that thought this was like water did it right. I didn't want veggies in mine so I just made a new recipe out of the instructions.

I took 2 cans of corn, 2 cups of milk, 1T olive oil, 3/4 tsp salt, and a LOT of pepper since I like mine spicy...freshly ground from a pepper grinder makes it AMAZING. I threw the corn and milk into my Magic Bullet and then into the pot and added the rest and put it over medium heat. It thickened and I turned it off right when the first boiling bubble came thru the surface...which, as someone else here said, gave it that starch from the corn cooking to make it thicker.

I just basically omitted the veggies. It came out amazing. My son swore to me that he hates corn and wasn't eating it. I gave him a bit and he ate an entire bowl and said he'd eat it again.

Not sure how anyone got it to taste like water...but maybe you blended the corn too much? Mine came out about the consistancy of creamed corn, just a little thinner.

You know........I've been drinking water for a long time now, and this is the closest thing I have found to tasting like it. The Yellow Mustard hue with chunky green and red chunks gave it an amazing tasteless taste. Maybe if i was a Vegan from Michigan I would enjoy this. I made this for my 93 year old grandma and she thought it was good. I've been making this since 2007 and I to this day believe it is the sole reason she is alive today. Thank You, from the bottom of my heart for what my family considers a miracle. 6 stars!

It really tasted great and with using low fat milk and vegetables. It tasted rich and creamy. Very good. I would be interested in how many calories the recipe has.

I just got done making this after seeing this episode this morning. A couple of things to note. Some people say that they found it thin. I think this may have to do with the directions Ellie posts. She says to only heat through and not boil once you add the blended corn mixture. It really needs to boil for a couple of minutes to develop the starch that comes out of the corn, and that is what I did. Also, during those last couple of minutes, I threw in the basil stems from the basil I had chopped. Then I fished them out at the end.

I also substituted 1% low-fat milk for the nonfat called for in the recipe, and I think that is what she used on TV, but I'm not sure.

Oh and be careful how much black pepper you add. I think I may have added a tad more than I should have. It is still delicious, but my mouth is a-burnin'!

I will definitely make this one again! Oh and I ran the ingredients, and it comes out to 3 WW points per 1-cup serving! (I found that the recipe only made 7 cups rather than the 9 it says.

I substituted vegetable stock and soy milk and otherwise left the recipe alone. It was a hit with my vegan daughter and omnivorous husband and son. I've made this at least 6 times and it's quick and nutritious-a real keeper! Thanks Ellie!

Came out pretty soupy and bland if you ask me. We had to thicken it up quite a bit and add a ton of seasonings.
