Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped (about ½ cup)
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely minced (or 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder)
  • 2 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 (4 oz) cans diced green chilies
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Juice from 1/2 small lime
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 (15 oz) cans great northern beans
  • 1 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or fresh)
  • 2 heaping cups cooked chicken, shredded (rotisserie or leftover chicken)
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Shredded cheese
  • Tortilla chips
  • Green onions
  • Avocado

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in chicken broth, green chilies, cumin, cayenne, paprika, oregano, lime juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Drain and rinse the beans using a strainer.
  6. Take a big ladleful of beans and blend with a splash of broth in a food processor until smooth (optional but recommended for a creamier texture).
  7. Add both pureed beans and whole beans plus corn to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15 to 30 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and shredded chicken until well combined.
  9. Serve hot and garnish with cilantro, shredded cheese, avocado slices, and tortilla chips.

Notes

For a thicker consistency, blend more beans or skip whole beans. Adjust the cayenne pepper for heat preference.
