Notes
- Refer to the article above for more tips and tricks.
- The calories shown are based on the soup serving 6, with 1 serving being 1/6 of the soup. Since different brands of ingredients have different nutritional information, the calories shown are just an estimate. **We are not dietitians and recommend you seek a nutritionist for exact nutritional information. The information in the nutrition box are calculated through a program and there is room for error. If you need an accurate count, I recommend running the ingredients through your favorite nutrition calculator.**
- For an extra depth of flavor: Consider roasting the corn before adding it to the soup. This caramelizes the sugars in the corn, giving it a smoky, sweet flavor that complements the soup's other ingredients.
- Garnish options: Top the soup with crunchy tortilla strips, diced avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese, or sliced jalapeños for added flavor and texture.
- Customize spice level: Adjust the chili powder or add diced jalapeños to increase the spiciness of the soup.
- Make it vegetarian: Omit the chicken and use vegetable broth for a vegetarian version. You can add extra beans or veggies like bell peppers or zucchini for more substance.
- Slow cooker option: Combine all the ingredients (except for the cilantro and lime juice) in a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or high for 3-4 hours. For this option you can use 2 uncooked chicken breasts, then shred them at the end of cooking. Stir in the cilantro and lime juice just before serving.
