STORY BEHIND THE DISH

My sister came across this delicious soup years ago on a food blog, I have always enjoyed it & have been wanting to share it with you. I modified it to a healthier version but I personally think it still tastes amazing!

 

MODIFICATIONS 

 There are many things that can be added or substituted in carrots would be a great addition or substitute if you don't like corn. To thicken it up you can add some soup cream for a more creamy soup. To spice it up even more you can add some fresh or canned diced chilies. You can top with chips, cheese, hot sauce, you name it! Serve it with some warm tortillas, bread, or even corn bread would be delicious.
