Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 4 oz cans diced green chilies
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon paprika
  • 0.5 small lime
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 15 oz cans great northern beans
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup corn
  • 2 cups cooked chicken
  • fresh cilantro
  • shredded cheese
  • tortilla chips
  • green onions
  • avocado

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large (5-6 quart) pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until softened, 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  2. Add chicken broth, green chilies, cumin, cayenne, paprika, oregano, lime juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Drain and rinse beans in a strainer.
  4. Measure out a big ladleful of the beans and add to a food processor with a splash of broth from the soup. Puree until smooth (this step is optional but helps to yield the creamy and thick texture we want from this chili!).
  5. Add pureed beans, whole beans and corn to the soup pot. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 15 to 30 minutes.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream and cooked chicken.
  7. Serve garnished with cilantro, shredded cheese, avocado slices and tortilla chips if desired.
