Notes
Mix It Up: This is a really easy soup to swap out or add more vegetables. You could easily add diced carrots to the original recipe or swap them for the corn to add a bit more nutrition.
Simplify It: Buy a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, then shred with 2 forks to use in this recipe.
