Very good recipe. I used a bit more onion and added ~5 cloves of garlic and a decent amount of cumin, rather than cayenne. I used a bag (12 oz?) of frozen corn rather than canned, and this worked fine. With black beans added, this is a pretty complete meal in one pot. I pureed everything (including the black beans) because I needed liquid meals after oral surgery. This was simple enough to make after that procedure, and really quite tasty. I am looking forward to having it again without needing to liquefy everything. Thanks!!
