This soup is so full of flavor, you won’t believe it! Change it up and add some charred corn and hot pepper! If you don’t can, this soup also freezes very well.

This soup looks so good. I can’t wait for the weekend to make it.
This soup was beautiful and delicious! I grilled my chicken and vegetables outdoors for a smoky flavor and omg my family loved it!
I wasn’t sure how much we would like this soup but in an effort to get some quick meals on the shelf I decided to try some of Jeni’s recipes. After all, who doesn’t love to get home late after a long day and not to have to do take out? Well, bought some bread bowls and loaded them up with the soup and my daughter and I loved every bite! Next time I can this, I will roast some corn and do half the jars with it. Great recipe!
