This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less chili powder.

This soup was an absolute delight! The flavors of corn and pumpkin blended perfectly, and the addition of spices like cumin and chili powder gave it a nice kick. I served it with a side of crusty bread for dipping, and it was the perfect comfort food
