salt and pepper to taste

Tortilla chips
Sliced limes, chopped cilantro, sour cream, cheddar cheese for garnishes

Saute onions and garlic in olive oil until translucent. Add stock, corn, chili powder and chipotle pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Add chicken and simmer 10-15 minutes. Serve over chips with your choice of garnishes.

Answer 6

Definitely not onion soup if you are having friends around.

Although very nice, the air would gain a certain aroma later in the evening.

How about a nice seafood soup? With some muscles and crab to add a bit of flavour?
