• To serve: fill your bowls with hot soup, and top with crunchy corn chips, shredded cheese, avocado and cilantro leaves. Enjoy immediately while the chips are still a little crunchy!

• Add remaining ingredients and simmer 15-20 minutes.
• Serve with fat free sour cream and low-fat shredded cheese, if desired. If you like cilantro, chop a little and throw some on top of the soup. Also tasty (though not as healthy) topped with a handful of Fritos.
• Great with a piece of hearty corn bread and fresh fruit.
• This recipe can also be made in a crock pot. Sauté onions first, combine everything in a crockpot, and cook on low 5-6 hours.
