I made this soup last night and it was delicious! I used rotisserie chicken and it was so easy to make. The soup was very flavorful and I loved the combination of the chicken, corn, and black beans. I will definitely be making this soup again.

This soup is amazing! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. It's so flavorful and hearty, and it's perfect for a cold winter night. I love that it's easy to make too - I can have it on the table in about 30 minutes. Thanks for sharing
