INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 1.25-ounce envelope taco seasoning mix
  • 1 15-ounce can creamed corn
  • 2 10-ounce cans condensed chicken broth
  • 1½ cups water
  • 2 cups shredded Pepper Jack cheese
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  1. In heavy saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion; sauté until crisp-tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.

  2. Sprinkle taco seasoning mix over the onions and stir, then add corn, chicken broth, and water. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, toss cheese with flour. Add to soup and lower heat; cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes, until cheese is melted and soup is thickened. Serve immediately.
