Made it, but without the corn very flavoursome.

Love the recipe however, I don't put the pasta in as it goes too loose & mushy by the time you re-heat the soup. As the pasta is already cooked, just put it in the bottom of soup bowl and pour the hot soup over. Pasta will heat up sufficiently this way.

You are only adding the pasta in the last 5 minutes, it's mixing through the soup , you only end up with a small ammount of pasta in your bowl. By heating the pasta with the soup it actually puts flavour through the pasta
