This is a shortcut version of the classic Mexican soup that you can make quickly with access to some tinned products. Traditionally it is prepared with hominy and a whole chicken but I use fresh corn and shredded chicken. Its a complete meal and you can choose your toppings.

Add shredded chicken back to the soup and simmer another 5 minutes then add lime juice just before serving. Taste for salt.
