Despite not having all of the required ingredients (thanks to me forgetting my list on the kitchen counter when I grocery shopped!), this soup still turned out just fine. It was filling and oh so spicy! If you don't like a ton of heat, I recommend scaling back on some of the spices. Eating this with tortilla chips helped to balance the flavors, as would some sour cream or avocado. I must say, winter's only (seriously, ONLY) redeeming factor, is the abundance of soups!

-1 15 oz can white beans, rinsed
-1 15 oz can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (with chilies, optional)
-3 cups chicken broth

-1 medium onion, diced
-1 tsp. minced garlic
-1 tbsp chili powder
-2 tbsp cumin
-1 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
-1 1/2-2 cups frozen yellow corn (omitted, thanks to my forgetfulness)
Directions:
1. In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add onion, pepper, and garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant. Season with chili powder, cayenne pepper, and cumin; cook for 3-5 minutes.
2. Add beans, tomatoes, and broth. Cook over low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until mixture begins to simmer, stirring frequently. About five minutes before removing from heat, add corn and stir to combine.
