    For the Soup:
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 medium onion chopped
    • 2-3 cloves garlic minced
    • 2 ½ cups vegetable stock
    • 1 can diced tomatoes I use S&W Petite-cut Tomatoes, Diced With Sweet Onion & Roasted Garlic – these are my absolute favorite canned tomatoes for cooking
    • 1 can mild enchilada sauce
    • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
    • 1 teaspoon chili powder
    • 6 small or 3 large corn tortillas cut into ½- ¼ inch pieces (I use a pizza cutter or ulu to do this.)
    • 8 ounces Reduced Fat Velveeta or other processed American cheese, cut into ½ inch cubes
    • ½ cup grated pepper-jack cheese
    • 1 ½ cups frozen corn
    On the side:
    • 2 cups shredded or chopped roasted chicken
    • Grated Pepper-Jack
    • Sour Cream
    • Tortilla chips or strips

    Instructions

    • Sauté chopped onion in olive oil until it just starts to turn brown. Add garlic and sauté one minute more.
    • In a medium sauce pan, combine vegetable stock, diced tomatoes, enchilada sauce, spices and tortilla pieces. Add sautéed onion and garlic and simmer five minutes.
    • With an immersion blender, blend soup until it reaches the desired consistency. (This step is optional, but necessary if you want a smooth soup.)
    • Add cheeses and stir until they are completely melted. Stir in corn and simmer 5 minutes more.
    • If you are serving this to an all meat-eating crowd, add the chicken with the corn; otherwise, serve it in a separate bowl on the side.
