Ingredients: 1 cup diced onion. 1 cup diced red bell pepper. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 3 cups frozen corn kernels. 4 cups vegetable broth. 1 can 14 oz diced tomatoes with green chilies. 1 teaspoon ground cumin. 1 teaspoon chili powder. 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika. 1/2 cup diced green onions. 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro. 1 cup diced cooked potatoes. 1 cup diced cooked chicken optional. 1 cup milk.

Instructions: Put olive oil in a big pot and heat it over medium-low heat. Dice the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic. Cook the vegetables in oil until they are soft.
