In a large skillet, bring to a boil one can (14-1/2 ounces) of chicken broth. Add 1-1/2 cups uncooked spiral pasta. Cook, uncovered for about ten minutes or until tender. Do not drain any remaining liquid.

Stir in one can black beans, which have been drained. Next add 1-cup frozen corn and 1-cup cubed cooked ham.

Season with 1/8-teaspoon ground cumin and 1/4-teaspoon thyme, then salt and pepper to taste.

Cook for about 6 to 7 minutes, then sprinkle 1/4-cup shredded cheese of your choice on top. Cook one more minute, and your ready to serve.
