This now classic soup was created in the early 1970's when Tex-Mex was becoming popular. It's still a favorite nation wide. Note: This is a good make ahead soup, however if you are making it for future use, do not add the cream, cheese or tortilla chips until just before serving. Store soup in the frig or freezer and add the omitted ingredients before serving.
