Special Precautions and Tips:
- Be sure to drain the corn and black beans well before adding them to the soup. This will help prevent the soup from becoming watery.
- If you don't have a poblano pepper, you can substitute another mild green pepper, such as a green bell pepper or Anaheim pepper.
- For a spicier soup, add a diced jalapeño pepper or some red pepper flakes.
- Serve with crusty bread or crackers for dipping.
