Soup for Lunch

After spending a large part of the morning doing end-of-the-year homeschool paperwork (and I'm still not done!), I decided to take a break and try a new recipe for lunch. Nothing major, just a quick and simple throw-together soup from one of my old Betty Crocker cookbooks. It was a hit, so I'll definitely do it again. Here's the recipe from the book with my changes:

South-of-the-Border Supper Soup (though we had it for lunch!)

1 can (10 1/2 oz.) bean with bacon soup (used ham & bean soup)
1 can (10 1/2 oz.) tomato soup
1 can (10 1/2 oz.) chili without beans (my can was 11+ oz.)
1 soup can water
1/8 to 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, if desired (used 1/4 tsp.)
Corn chips (didn't have any so we just dipped Saltines in)

Combine soups and chili. Stir in water; blend in garlic powder. Heat to boil. Ladle into bowls. Top with corn chips.

Similar to chili but a bit more smooth with a fuller flavor -
