Preheat the broiler. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. 


Add garlic and oregano and cook just until garlic begins to sizzle. 


Stir in corn and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and garlic is golden, 3 to 4 minutes. 


Stir in broth, tomato sauce, chicken, salt and pepper and bring to a boil. 


Add okra and zucchini, reduce heat and simmer until okra is tender, about 5 minutes.


Meanwhile, brush flatbreads all over with remaining 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt and pepper. 


Transfer to a baking sheet and broil until just toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. 


Cut into wedges.


Remove soup from heat and stir in green onions and basil. 


Serve with toasted flatbread on the side.
