Looking for a spicy, delicious soup that is very easy to make? If so, you have to try Spicy Chicken Corn Soup. Chicken, corn, tomato, and a delicious blend of spices make a filling, comforting soup. You can top with tortilla strips (or chips), sour cream, cheese, and/or salsa. I like the chips. Husband likes sour cream and chips.
The only thing to be careful for…it scorches easily once all the ingredients are added. I left husband to stir it once. I came back shortly later to find scorched soup. I made some very mean comments (I felt bad later) along the lines of “How can anyone scorch soup?!”. Next time I made it, I didn’t stir it often enough. Yep, scorched it myself. I had some crow to eat along with the soup. Haha.
