I served this soup with a side of naan bread. It was the perfect way to soak up all the delicious broth.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken from this recipe. It was still very flavorful and satisfying.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover corn. I had some leftover grilled corn, and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

I used low-fat yogurt in my soup to make it a little healthier. It was still just as creamy and delicious.
