Yes, Jessica, you read that right. It is like adding a squeeze of lemon to brighten the flavors if you were making it from scratch… and a pinch of sugar always adds a bit of flavor.

Powdered lemonade??
Cindy Hopper says
I would think as long as the expiration of the ingredients you used. The tortilla chips over weeks might not be as crisp, but they get added to the soup. If I wanted to make these ahead of time I would put together up to the chips and add them in a few days before giving. Hope that helps.
