Southwestern Chicken Soup

     Finding myself at odds yesterday afternoon (an ice storm sent the area into a scramble to get home early), I thought to cook something up for dinner. Ordinarily on Mondays we eat leftovers or something simple like microwaved tortillas and cheese, but the couple of extra free hours afforded me the luxury of something a little more substantial. However the freezer produced only a pair of boneless chicken breasts (grocery shopping day is nigh) which roasted quickly in the toaster oven while I checked the pantry for other ingredients. With the addition of some onion, garlic, salsa, corn, white beans and cumin, the result was Southwestern Chicken Soup. We ate earlier than usual because the delicious aroma was so enticing. It may have been sleeting outside but it was peppery warm inside!
