When dinner needs to be ready in a hurry, soup is a great go-to meal. This soup has a lot going for it – it is ready in 15 minutes, the ingredients list is short, and the prep is almost non-existent. To boot, the soup is delicious! Chances are good you have a bag of leftover stale tortilla chips lurking in the back of your pantry and this is the perfect place to use them up to thicken the soup. With the addition of roasted corn, this soup is a make-again dish sure to please everyone at the table.
