Ingredients:​

• 1 medium diced yellow onion

• 1-2 tbsp olive oil

• 2-3 tbsp minced garlic

• 1 and ½ 32 oz boxes of chicken broth (I use organic)

• 1 (7 oz) can diced green chilies

• 1 ½ tsp cumin

• ½ tsp paprika

• ½ tsp dried oregano

• ½ tsp. coriander

• ¼ tsp. cayenne pepper

• 1 tsp. salt

• 1 ½ tsp black pepper (I sometimes also add ghost pepper)

• 1 can white corn

• 1 can cannellini beans

• 1 can great northern beans

• 2 ½ cups diced store bought rotisserie chicken (or you can cook your own)

 

Instructions:

• In a large pot over medium heat.  Sauté onion in the olive oil until soft and translucent.  Add garlic and sauté another minute or two. 

• Add the green chilies and spices and saute for another minute or two stirring continuously

• Add the broth and bring to a boil

• Reduce the heat to simmer for 10-15 minutes

• Drain and rinse the beans and put half of the them in a food processor with ¼ cup of chicken broth (the pureed beans add a cream texture to the soup without adding cream)

• Add the corn, whole beans, pureed beans, and diced/shredded chicken to the soup mixture and stir well.  Simmer for 10-15 minutes more.

• Top with whatever you enjoy: (fresh lime juice, cilantro, avocado slices, tortilla chips, jack cheese, etc.)
