Day Fifteen: Kicked Up Chicken Soup

A broth based soup for those cold nights. Simple, hearty, and healthy.

Southwestern Chicken Soup

1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 can chicken broth
1 can diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 salt
1/2 tsp chili powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
Plain yogurt and fresh cilantro for garnish

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken and onion in oil until the chicken is no longer pink. Add the garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the corn, beans, broth, tomatoes, cumin, salt, chili powder and cayenne. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Garnish with yogurt and cilantro.
