of sweet corn (drained). You cook the corn with the ingredients for 5
minutes or so. (corn just needs to be heated).
" Serve as a soup or you
can leave the broth behind and eat the ingredients.
" I usually eat with warm
corn tortillas or saltine crackers. Really good with pinto beans as a
side dish.
