  3. Stir in Corn
  4. Top soup with smashed Tortilla Chips

My2Cents: The Instant Mashed Potatoes act as a thickener for the soup.   Defrost the corn in a colander by running cold water over it.  This recipe was for designed for a Vitamix, which through friction naturally heats ingredients if left to run long enough.  If you are using a traditional blender, simply heat the soup as you normally would.
