I'll readily admit to using only about 1/4 of the jalapeno & probably just half of the cayenne pepper, but other than that, the ingredient list & directions were followed! We really enjoyed the combo of yams & corn here, & the addition of 'kick' ingredients wasn't as overpowering as I thought it might be! VERY, VERY NICE SOUP!
