Ingredients:

Quantity Ingredient
2 cans Chicken broth
1 can Corn
1 can Red kidney beans
1 bunch Green onions
6 tbsp Honey
1 Yellow onion
1 can Mexican-style tomatoes
2 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Cilantro leaves
3 cups Cheddar cheese
2 Corn tortillas

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Flavor Base:

    • In a blender, combine the stewed tomatoes, honey, green onions, garlic, cilantro, yellow onion, and seasoning.
    • Blend until smooth and well-combined.
  2. Cook the Base:

    • In a large skillet, pour in the chicken broth and add the blended mixture.
    • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients:

    • Once the base is simmering, add the corn, Mexican-style tomatoes, and any additional seasonings.
    • Cover the skillet with a lid and continue to simmer for at least 20 minutes, ensuring all the flavors develop.
  4. Incorporate Kidney Beans:

    • After 20 minutes, add the red kidney beans to the soup.
    • Bring the mixture to a boil again, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for an additional 10 minutes, allowing the beans to soften and absorb the flavors.
  5. Prepare Tortilla Chips:

    • While the soup is simmering, prepare the tortilla chips. Cut the tortillas into 1/2 inch strips, then cut them in half.
    • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the tortilla strips until they are golden brown and crisp.
    • Remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess oil.
  6. Serve:

    • Ladle the hot soup into bowls.
    • Sprinkle each serving with cheddar cheese.
