For a richer flavor, consider using fire-roasted corn. To add a smoky element, include 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika with the taco seasoning. Adjust the amount of picante sauce to control the heat level of the soup. For a milder soup, use mild picante sauce or substitute with tomato sauce and a pinch of chili powder. Get creative with toppings! Try adding avocado slices, sour cream, crushed tortilla chips, a squeeze of lime juice, or fresh cilantro. If you like a thinner soup, add more chicken broth to reach your desired consistency.
