Five-can Soup

I got this recipe from Selissa. It is easy and delicious. I don't have a picture, but maybe one can be added later.

1 Tbsp. oil
1 small onion
3 Tbsp. flour
3/4 tsp. cumin
1 can chicken broth
1 can chopped tomatoes, undrained
1 can corn, undrained
1 can evaporated milk
1 can chunk white chicken, undrained

Warm the oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion and cook, stirring frequently for 5 minutes, or until translucent. Add flour, cumin and chili powder. Cook, stirring constantly.

Meanwhile, bring the broth to a boil in a small saucepan, add the onion mixture to the broth and whisk until liquid is smooth. Stir in the tomatoes and corn. Slowly stir in the milk and the liquid from the chicken. Bring to a simmer; do not boil. Break the chicken into bite size pieces and stir in the soup. Serve.

NOTES: Obviously, there are lots of things that can be varied or substituted. I've done it this way:
Shred cooked chicken into a pan.
Stir in the flour and spices.
Pour in broth and bring to a boil. It will thicken slightly.
Add corn and tomatoes. Heat through.
Stir in the milk. Serve.

It is also good with a can of black beans added (I drain them).
