This soup hit the spot! It was everything I wanted it to be! It’s creamy, bold & the chips on top make it absolutely wonderful! I have a weakness for southwest anything: aka having black beans, corn, & cilantro, so this soup hit it right on. It’s really quick to throw together & you can even make it in the slow cooker if you want to. Love, LoVe, LOVE this soup!
