I’m a big fan of soups, especially this time of year, and I’m always on the lookout for new soup recipes, especially of the quick and easy variety. Here’s one that a friend turned me on to, with a few little tweaks of my own.
Tomato, Corn and Spinach Soup
Ingredients
- 2 large cans tomato soup, about 23 oz each
- 3 cups water
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 2 cans creamed corn (about 15 oz each)
- 2 cans whole kernel corn (about 15 oz each)
- 2 cans diced tomato with green chilies
- 2 cups fresh or frozen spinach, chopped
- 1 can tomato paste (6 oz)
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: Shredded cheese for topping (I like pepper jack, but feel free to use your own favorite)
Directions
- Mix all ingredients except cheese in a deep pot and stir until mixed well.
- Heat on medium, stirring often, for 15-20 minutes. Add additional liquid if needed
- Reduce to low and simmer for another 15 minutes.
- Stir and serve.
Optional: Sprinkle individual servings with desired amount of cheese
NOTES:
- You can substitute an equivalent amount of frozen corn for the canned
- I like my soups spicy, but if this is too spicy for you, substitute one or both cans of diced tomatoes with chilies with regular diced tomatoes
- This recipe makes 8-10 servings and freezes well

Me too! Let me know how it turns out for you.
I also love soups and stew in the colder months. This recipe is easy, and I bet it’s delicious. Thanks for sharing!
Your welcome!!
Yum!! I love a good potato soup too!!
Oh, potato soup, especially with bacon and cheese, is near the top of my list too
I love to make soup and chili when the weather cools off. Thanks for sharing the recipe it sounds like it would be yummy.
you’re welcome
oh but this sounds wonderful. thanks so much for sharing.
Glad you like the sounds of it!
Love soups during Fall and winter.
I actually like them year round but yes, they are especially good in fall and winter
Thanks! that looks tasty.
Believe me, it is
I’m look forward to chili and stews! I’m not a huge soup fan, unless it has meat! lol!! I must have my meat and potatoes! lol!!! This does sound good, though I’d be throwing some kind of meat in it!
I was thing I might add a bit of lump crab meat next time I fix it.
I love soup. Thank you for the recipe.
You’re quite welcome
Winnie, I have a recipe for only can’s for Taco Soup that starts off with chili and beans. It’s great for outdoor trips or when you need something in a hurry. I love it. Yours sounds good too.
Linda that sounds really yummy. You’ll have to send me the recipe
I love soups, especially vegetable and/or potato. My husband does not like soups. He will eat chili or stew but that’s about it. So, I make some just for me on occasion. Hard to find recipes for small amounts though.
This recipe can easily be halved. And any leftovers can be frozen. So treat yourself! 🙂
Thanks for sharing a good recipe.
You’re welcome!
We, too, enjoy soups in the Fall through winter. This one sounds interesting and something my husband will like. I like something I can freeze to have a quick meal ready when life gets crazy, which for us seems to be more often than not. Thank you for sharing.
I found a recipe for Buckwheat Cauliflower soup on the Pocono Buckwheat Grits package; our family enjoys it as soup or, with reduced liquid, as a starch. Enjoy!
