Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced (I'll use more!)
2 -3 cups fat free chicken broth
2 cups frozen corn, thawed
2 cups cooked chicken breasts, diced
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 cups fat-free half-and-half

Steps:

  • Spray a large saucepan with cooking spray, then add onions through garlic and saute over mediun-high heat. Add a little chicken broth to prevent burning and cook 8-10 minutes.
  • Add corn, chicken, chiles, pepper, and remaining broth. Bring to a boil 2-3 minutes.
  • Dissolve cornstarch in the half and half, then stir into soup.
  • Bring to a boil, then serve.
