A simple yet flavorful soup made with pantry staples, perfect for a quick meal.
Open the cans of beans and corn, and drain and rinse them.
Rinsing the beans removes excess sodium and improves the taste.
In a saucepan, combine the salsa, beans, and corn.
Use a mild salsa for a balanced flavor, or adjust to your spice preference.
Add the cumin and paprika to the saucepan and stir well.
Spices enhance the flavor; adjust the quantity to your taste.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until warmed through, stirring occasionally.
Stirring prevents the soup from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Squeeze the juice of the lime into the soup and stir before serving.
Adding lime juice at the end brightens the flavors of the soup.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with optional toppings like chopped cilantro or shredded cheese.
Serve with tortilla chips or crusty bread for a complete meal.
