Introduction

Vegetable soups can be boring. Some people make them better by serving them with rice or over torn up non-sweetened corn bread. Adding tortilla chips is like crackers, but it adds a little crunch, too. Yes, the sodium is a bit high, but that is soup. Help me if there is another way to reduce this and keep the flavor that is not completly chemical. Some ingredients are specific brands that I love, but you can subsitute per your personal taste.
