  • 2 teaspoons canola oil
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen corn
  • 2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
  • 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. In a large saucepan, saute the carrots, celery and onion in oil until tender. Add the broth, corn, chicken, parsley, salt, tarragon and pepper. Bring to a boil.
