This soup is so easy to make, and it's perfect for a weeknight meal. I used frozen corn, and it still turned out great. I also added a little bit of diced jalapeño for a little bit of spice. It was a hit with my family, and I'll definitely be making

This soup is absolutely delicious! I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out perfect. The corn and vegetables are perfectly tender, and the broth is flavorful and creamy. I served it with a side of crusty bread, and it was a hit with my guests
