I needed a recipe to make soup on a chilly day, and had some rotisserie chicken in the fridge. Just 2 of us, so I scaled down a bit. Easy to do. Very forgiving recipe since I live 15 miles in the country and can't just run to the store. I had to make a few adaptations since I didn't have black beans (added sweet corn), and didn't have sweet Italian sausage (didn't worry about that). Homemade is ALWAYS better than canned soup, and this one was a keeper. My husband likes creamy, rather than just brothy, soup, and the canned northern beans mashed up gave the soup a creamier, thicker base. I will definitely make this again!
