Notes
*This is a very forgiving recipe, adjust the quantities as needed and feel free to play around with additional farmers market finds! *To remove the skin off of fresh tomatoes, drop them in boiling water for about 30 seconds or until the skin peels easily off. *In a pinch, you can use canned corn. *This recipe freezes very well! Make a double batch and store some in freezer bags for an easy meal when back to school gets busy! *If you like your chilli extra spicy, add more chilli powder and possibly some cayenne for an extra kick!The calories shown are based on the recipe serving 8, with 1 serving being 1/8 of the soup.
