Pour in chicken broth, chili powder and cumin; bring to boil. Cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer soup 25 minutes and then remove from heat.

  • Step 2: Using an immersion blender, puree soup and return to heat. Stir in carrots and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in corn and chicken. Season with salt and pepper.
