1

In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion, garlic, cumin, coriander and pepper flakes; cook 4 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until browned. Transfer mixture to blender and cool several minutes; add 1 cup of the broth, half the drained corn and the oregano; cover and blend until smooth.

Meanwhile, in medium bowl, toss chicken with flour and salt. In 6-quart Dutch oven, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil until shimmering. Cook chicken in oil 4 to 5 minutes without moving, until chicken releases easily from pan, then stir and continue to cook 4 minutes longer. Add mixture from blender. Add remaining 3 cups broth and remaining corn; heat to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, 3 minutes to combine flavors.

Divide among 6 bowls; top with radishes, cabbage, cheese and lime wedges.

For perfectly thin radishes and cabbage, slice and shred using a mandolin or food processor.
If you can't find queso fresco, feta makes a nice substitute.
