  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

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 ½ cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 (4 oz) cans diced green chilies
  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ small lime, juice from
  • 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, for garnish
  • Shredded cheese, for garnish
  • Tortilla chips, for garnish
  • Green onions, for garnish
  • Avocado, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened for about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in chicken broth, diced green chilies, cumin, cayenne, paprika, oregano, lime juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Drain and rinse the great northern beans in a strainer. For a creamier texture, measure out a big ladleful of the beans and blend them in a food processor with a splash of broth until smooth (optional).
  6. Add both pureed beans and whole beans, along with the corn, to the soup pot. Bring to a simmer and let cook uncovered for 15 to 30 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and stir in the sour cream and shredded chicken.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with cilantro, shredded cheese, avocado slices, and tortilla chips if desired.

Notes

For added depth, let the chili simmer longer; it will enhance the flavors. If you like it hotter, add more cayenne pepper or include jalapeños. Substitute other beans if preferred.
