Notes
Green chiles:
One whole can of diced green chiles is normally used.
Broth:
We like a thick soup so sometimes we add a little less broth.
Taco seasoning:
We generally do a little less than one taco seasoning packet so it's not too spicy for everyone.
Corn:
I often throw in more corn because the kids love it.
Cilantro:
My mom actually uses about 1 -2 Teaspoons of dried cilantro but I don't enjoy it with dry cilantro.
This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
