    Notes

    It's easy to substitute diced chicken tenderloin pieces for the ground chicken if you prefer (but season diced chicken pieces with chili powder, cumin, & sage while browning them before adding other ingredients, for best flavor). I also often substitute a can of Mexi-corn in place of the corn and all diced bell peppers. Sometimes it's easier to use a small can of green chiles in place of the jalapeno as well. Make this soup ahead in the day and keep it warm in crockpot for dinner later.
