Saute:

1/2 green pepper (chopped)
2-3 green onion stalks (chopped)
1-2 cloves garlic (minced)
Put sauteed veggies and all ingredients below into pot, bring to boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer 1 hour:
1 -  19 oz. can  stewed or diced tomatoes
1 can chicken broth
1 can beef broth
1 can tomato soup
2 tsp worchestershire sauce
1/2 cup brown rice (or white)
1/2 cup frozen corn or 1 can corn
1/2 cup salsa
1 tsp salsa seasoning and 1/2 tsp Pueblo Bean Dip mix from Epicure or
taco seasoning to taste
When ready to serve, add following ingredients:
2 tbsp lime juice (into pot)

Corn Tortilla Chips
For the best tortilla chips in this soup, buy a pack of soft corn tortillas, cut into strips
and fry in oil in a pan until crispy.  Let cool and drain on a pan covered with paper towel.
