Brimming with colourful 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.
