This soup is a healthy and balanced meal because it is packed with lean protein and fiber. The chicken helps build strong muscles, while the corn and onions provide fiber for good digestion. Using garlic and spices like cumin and cayenne pepper not only adds great flavor without extra fat but also helps boost your immune system and metabolism.
