Mexican Street Corn Soup

Kathy Levin

This simple and delicious Mexican Street Corn Soup
will warm your heart and soul.

There’s an endless choice of “toss ins” for this soup. Add in some
leftover potatoes, chopped spinach or kale, mushrooms, or zucchini.

You can even throw in some chickpeas or edamame for
a little extra protein.

Use frozen corn or grill some ears and cut it right off the cob for an
even more robust flavor. Top with lime zest, fat free feta or a couple of slices of avocado.

You’re gonna want to double the recipe so you can freeze it and always have it on hand to eat.
They will definitely be coming back for more.
