I made this last month and it was very good (didn't post a review, though :( ). I made it again tonight and substituted FIRE-ROASTED diced tomatoes with green chiles instead of plain diced tomatoes with the chiles and that was enough to take this soup up a notch to excellent! The fire-roasted tomatoes impart a subtle smokiness that goes wonderfully with the corn in the recipe as well as with the spicy nature of the soup as a whole. Because so many seem to use the 1-10 rating scale, I would have to give this recipe as printed a 7.5 or an 8; with the fire-roated tomatoes, a 9.5 for sure. :) I should also note that other than the tomato swap, I prepared this EXACTLY as printed.

I made this soup this week for dinner. It was a last minute replacement recipe because I had been planning to serve a salad and it was cold and rainy outside. Soup sounded much better! One of the best things was that I had all of the ingredients in my kitchen so I didn't have to run to the grocery store. (Thank heavens for frozen, peeled & deveined shrimp!!) It was easy to prepare and quite hearty...almost like a chowder. Will make this recipe again!
