- For a thicker soup, cook uncovered for the last 30 minutes to allow some liquid to evaporate.
- Can substitute red enchilada sauce for a different flavor twist.
- Use fresh corn if available for a sweeter, fresher taste.
- Leftovers store well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently on the stove or microwave.
