For a more spicy version, add a few sprinkles of hot, dried peppers into the soup.
Top bowls of hot soup with your favorite condiments such as tortilla chips, grated cheese, sour cream, salsa, avocado slices, or lime, etc.
Top off this dish by garnishing with slivers of soft corn tortillas.
To prepare the tortillas, cut them into strips, place on a cookie sheet sprayed with Pam, and bake in the oven until dry. (You can also use corn chips, but the tortilla slivers hold their crunch longer and are less salty.)
