Lana's notes: This is also a great way to use leftover turkey during the holidays. I have to double and triple this quite often when I make it.

    yum.. nice and easy... if i use fresh salsa, no salt added beans etc, and use frozen instead of canned corn sounds like something that would work for me as low sodium as well!
    thanks!

    Sounds super good! But what is the refried beans like in a soup?

    Sodium as is would 1060g per serving. Just use low salt/no salt items

    Trust me. The refried beans just give it a bit more thickness and chunkiness. This is a soup even your kids will eat.

    i bet with fresh or frozen ingredients (corn, beans, chicken, salsa) it would probably cut the sodium content and be easier to throw in a slow cooker in the morning to have for dinner. hmmmm.

    Never thought of having refied beans in soup. Good idea. I have to keep the chicken on the side though and cook some fake chicken too for my vegettarian son but it should work. I am looking for something we like as well as my vegetarian chili. Thanks.

    this recipe seems awsome, cant wait to try it! although i think i will use real chicken breast n stead of the canned stuff. U said it makes 8 servings< any guess how mush each serving is?

    I believe it's like 1 1/4 cups. I've got all my notes on my original recipe which I'm still trying to find :P (should've put it in my computer I know *sigh*)

    I use leftover roast chicken and holiday turkeys more than anything in this recipe. It's a great way to get rid of leftovers.

    I'll post the stats as soon as I find it.

    I made this last night with 2 chicken breast instead of the chunk chicken, also used frozen corn and not canned... It was awesome!! Thanks!

    This does sound really yummy!! But, I too think I would have to lower the sodium content though...use some frozen veggies and fresh chicken breast instead of canned. But, definitely want to try this! I love the crock-pot idea too! Thanks 4 sharing!
