In a large pot over medium heat, saute the garlic and onion in the margarine for 5 minutes. Add flour and stir well, cooking for 1 minute more. Add the broth and half and half. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Add the soup, salsa, corn, chicken, cumin, fajita seasoning and 2 tablespoons cilantro. Stir and continue to heat for 15 minutes. Crumble tortilla chips into individual bowls, and 1/2 oz shredded chees to each bowl and ladle in soup. Top each bowl with more chips and cheese and remaining cilantro and serve. I just add the cilantro all at once instead of putting in bowls when serving. A helpful hint for the chicken to shred it...If you have a KitchenAid mixer, put the hot chicken in to bowl and use the attachement that looks like a peace symbol and turn on mixer to low and the chicken will shred nicely.
