I cooked for two people for the first 7 years of my marriage. Today, I'm a stay-at-home mom with a toddler, but I still appreciate small-scale recipes. I like to serve this zesty soup with tortillas topped with melted cheese.—Wendy Anderson, Santa Rosa, California

1/4 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil

1 can (14 ounces) vegetable or beef broth
1 bay leaf
1 to 2 tablespoons lime juice
