Santa Fe Chipotle Soup


Here's a quick & easy way to have dinner on the table in a matter of minutes, yet still add that personal touch.  I've said it many times, but sometimes you just need an easy way to have something good to eat without much fuss.  Again, staying away from the drive-through lane being the key objective.

This was a soup packet from the dried food area of the soup isle.  But we decided to add frozen corn to the mix to add another textural component, as well as some more vegetables (albeit of the starchy variety).

Then the key comes at the very end.  Slice up some cherry tomatoes and green onions.  Top the soup with a little sour cream, tomatoes, and green onions and then crush tortillas chips on top.  The chips add another crunch element, and take the place of oyster crackers.  A also like to top mine with a few drizzles of hot sauce for an added kick.

Adding the fresh elements on the end makes all the difference in the world.  It takes an ordinary pre-made soup and really  makes it feel more like a meal.
