I used ground turkey instead of chicken and it turned out great. This soup is really versatile and you can use whatever protein you have on hand.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still delicious without it.

This soup is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. It's packed with carrots, celery, onions, and corn. You can also add other vegetables, such as zucchini or bell peppers.

I love the versatility of this soup. You can add or omit ingredients to suit your own taste. I like to add a little bit of extra cumin and chili powder to give it a bit more of a kick.

I made this soup in my slow cooker and it turned out perfectly. I just threw all the ingredients in the slow cooker in the morning and dinner was ready when I got home from work. It's so easy and convenient.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after dinner, and this soup is the perfect way to use them up. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I love the smoky flavor of this soup. The chipotle peppers really give it a nice kick. I also love the addition of the cornbread crumbs - they add a great texture and flavor contrast.
