I'm not a vegetarian, but I think this soup would be just as good without the chicken broth.

This soup is a great base for other dishes. You could add chicken, beef, or even seafood.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from this recipe. The soup was still very flavorful.

I'm not sure why this recipe calls for cooking the corn in milk. I think it would be just as good, if not better, to cook it in water.

This soup was delicious and easy to make. I used frozen corn and it turned out great. I also added a bit of diced red bell pepper for some extra color.

The flavors in this soup were amazing! The sweetness of the corn, the tanginess of the tomatoes, and the spiciness of the jalapenos all came together perfectly. I will definitely be making this again!
