Brimming with colorful veggies, this bright-tasting southwestern-inspired soup for two takes less than 30 minutes to prepare from start to finish. The frozen corn and cooked chicken give it a jumpstart while toasting the cumin in this skillet makes it taste like it’s simmered all day. For more of spicy kick, stir in some chili powder or crushed red pepper.

Canned low-sodium chicken broth

14½ fl oz

Onion
