    It was so simple and easy to make. Instead of doing ears of corn, I used a can of corn, which browned nicely in the pan. It was a tad spicy, but I love it like that. I also added half a can of black beans. I was amazed at how flavorful and delicious it was! I highly recommend making this!!!
    Oh, and one more thing, I didn't use any sour cream nor did I use tomato sauce. Instead I used a small can of tomato paste, and only half the amount of paste in that. Not purposely, I just accidently grabbed paste instead of sauce, but it came out perfect!

    This soup was delicious. My husband and I felt like we were eating in a restaurant! The only thing I did different was I added a can of Mexican Corn instead of the fresh cobs. Can't wait to make this again. Kids thought it was scrumptious too!
