Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1.5 cups low sodium, low fat vegetable broth

Steps

1. Gather all ingredients.
2. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until onion has softened, about 3 minutes.
