Tips
My memory told me that a can of corn was included in the recipe when I went to the store to shop for this. It wasn't included but since I bought it, I added it anyway. It added a bit of crunch to the soup. I also cooked the cilantro with the soup, after I added about twice what was called for! Carol and the girls liked the soup served over white rice. I had some tortilla chips hanging around and I crushed them into the soup, like crackers. Those changes made it really good. I think I will make it like that when I make it again.
