Black Bean, Corn, and Salsa Soup image

I really enjoyed this soup! Most of the ingredients were already in my pantry, plus the salsa and "slightly" spicy refried beans, added just the right amount of spice to the soup.

This soup was not to my taste. The flavors were bland and the soup was too thick.

This soup is so good! I love the smoky flavor from the chipotle peppers. The soup is also really hearty and filling. I served it with some sour cream and shredded cheese and it was perfect.

This soup is absolutely delicious! The combination of black beans, corn, and salsa is perfect, and the soup has a great balance of flavors. I especially love the addition of the cilantro and lime juice, which really brighten up the soup.
