Ingredients
2 (14–19 ounce) cans chicken noodle soup
1 cup frozen corn kernels
1 teaspoon hot sauce
2 cups tortilla chips
1 avocado, cut into pieces
Directions
Pour both cans of chicken noodle soup into a large pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, about 3–4 minutes.
Add the frozen corn kernels to the simmering soup and stir well. Continue cooking for another 2–3 minutes until the corn is heated through.
Stir in the hot sauce until evenly distributed throughout the soup. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Divide the soup evenly among four serving bowls. Top each bowl with a portion of tortilla chips and avocado pieces. Serve immediately.
Comments
This recipe works because every ingredient is a standard weeknight stock at any Charlotte grocery chain—even the avocado will be ripe and ready at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, or ALDI without a special trip. The stated ten minutes is honest; dumping canned soup into a pot, stirring in corn and hot sauce, and topping with chips and avocado takes exactly that. Cost per serving runs under $2 when you use a store-brand chicken noodle soup and basic tortilla chips, making it genuinely cheap for a lunch or light dinner. The only caveat is that this is inherently a same-night dish—leftovers get soggy as the chips hydrate—so plan accordingly if you're cooking for a crowd or wanting something to reheat tomorrow.
