Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion (chopped, about 1/2 cup)
  • 2 garlic cloves (finely minced or 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder)
  • 2.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cans (4 oz each) 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 (juice from)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
  • 2 cans (15 oz each) great northern beans (drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or fresh)
  • 2 heaping cups cooked chicken (shredded, rotisserie or leftover)
  • Fresh cilantro (for topping)
  • Shredded cheese (for topping)
  • Tortilla chips (for topping)
  • Avocado (sliced, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the onions: Heat olive oil in a large (5-6 quart) pot over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Add garlic: Stir in the minced garlic or garlic powder, cooking for an additional 30 seconds until aromatic.
  3. Combine broth and spices: Pour in the chicken broth, diced green chilies, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika, oregano, and lime juice. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Prepare the beans: Drain and rinse the great northern beans in a strainer. Measure out one big ladleful of beans and add them to a food processor with a splash of broth from the soup. Puree until completely smooth.
  5. Simmer the soup: Add the pureed beans, remaining whole beans, and corn to the soup pot. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  6. Cook to perfection: Cook uncovered for 15-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, letting the flavors meld and the soup thicken naturally.
  7. Final touch: Remove the pot from heat and stir in sour cream (or Greek yogurt) and shredded cooked chicken until well combined and heated through.
  8. Serve & garnish: Serve immediately in bowls garnished with fresh cilantro, shredded cheese, avocado slices, and tortilla chips as desired.
