Place a large Dutch oven coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat until hot. Add onion, carrot and garlic; sauté 5 minutes. Stir in broth, sugar, corn, beans, tomatoes and chilies; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 hours. VARIATION: This soup can also be prepared in a crock pot. Combine everything in the pot, and cook on HIGH for the first hour. Turn the temperature down to LOW, and cook 7 more hours. |
