This uses a few vegetables up. I quadruple it to use up all the red pepper, a small red onion and the whole can of beans. It freezes well but is nicest freshly made. If you use whole milk and chicken broth (instead of the water the original called for) you don't need to put the tortilla chips in but they are nice with. Variation in amounts doesn't matter much. It's a Blendtec recipe but any blender would work.
